King of the World: 5th Gate: The Other Side of The Tracks

The Other Side of the Tracks will be the Neighborhood that highlights some of Disney's villainous toons. Disney's baddies are very popular, so much so that some people want to give them their own park. I don't really buy into that idea, but I do think an area dedicated to some of the...gentler villains could work really well.

The first attraction is the Weasels' Wicked Wild Whip-Around! Guests will go on a wild car ride with the weasels as they escape from their latest caper. This would be very similar to Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, but themed with a city-scape as they travel between buildings.

Next up is Magica's Magical Seance where Scrooge McDuck's villainous rival Magica DeSpell attempts to speak to a passed spirit but only ends up conjuring every other spirit out there. Comedy and mayhem ensues until she is able to get everything back in order. I imagine this as a more advanced Tiki-Bird-type show.

Two of my favorite eatery ideas are in this Neighborhood. First is Ma Beagle's Bakery. If anyone has seen the TV show Duck Tales, or are familiar with the villainous Beagle Boys, they are probably aware of Ma Beagle. She is the loving matriarch of the gang known to send home-made baked goods to any of her boys who end up in the slammer. She likes to slip a surprise into her snacks, usually something to help her boys escape. The unique thing about Ma Beagle's bakery is that each item will come with a surprise souvenir inside for guests to bring home with them.

Finally, you have Peg-Leg Pete's Smokehouse. Pete the cat is known as the cigar chomping thorn in the Fab Five's side. Nothing says "smoking" like barbecue, so logically, Pete has a barbecue joint. Guests would be able to get classics like turkey legs and pork shanks from this classic hole-in-the-wall.

The Other Side of The Tracks would be a small corner of the park, dark and out of the way, but with the type of attractions people love.
