Wakanda Theme Park Extended

Synopsis Extended:

Our Wakanda theme park will feature a story that takes place years after the events of the film. Wakanda has opened to the public for the first time ever, allowing visitors from all over the world to tour and educate. However some groups in Wakanda are more reluctant on breaking tradition... The initial opening to refugees was popularly supported by the entirety of the Wakandan people. In spite of this, the commencement of a wider reach of people coming for educational tourism brought conflicts within Wakanda itself. Gradually in secret, a group of rebels formed in the shadows – plotting amongst themselves to overrun Wakanda's recent policies and administration. Made up of no one particular tribe, it is composed of members of almost every clan and have called themselves 'The Vipers'. Wakanda has only recently learned of the existence of this rebel group, and find it a very precarious situation – however underestimate its overall size and influence.

When riding our Vibranium mine ride, the visitors will experience this story through a sudden ambush. The ride begins in Shuri's lab – while waiting to go in the mines she explains you are about to go on a one of a kind tour through the vibranium mines which until recently, has only been seen by the Wakandan people. The dark ride itself is on a track that showcases a mix between fun real life movements, and computer simulations. (Nothing is too intense as to accommodate to all ages.) The "tour" is interrupted by the rebel group, and Shuri and friends help the visitors escape.

Signs of this story will also be scattered through out the park, such as The Viper's rebel symbol graffitied on certain walls, actors looking and asking visitors if they've seen suspicious activity, or instances in one of the shows.

Our park is an indoor dome made to appear as a forest on the outside-  similar to how Wakanda is hidden in plain sight.
Inside, it is sectioned in four different areas corresponding to the main tribes of Wakanda – the center being a city area where all the tribes converge. When entering, the visitor will see the cave entrance to the Vibranium mine, which is in the shape of a giant black panther. This will be the entrance to the park's largest attraction and its "weenie". It is stationed in the opposite of the entrance, but is able to be seen upon arrival due to it's elevation, massiveness, and wow-factor!
Other areas of interest will include the snowy mountains of the Jabari clan, the grassy plains of the Border clan, the Wakandan city, and the Warrior Falls.
Lastly, the park will be a mix between a traditional theme park, and a zoological center – similar to Animal Kingdom or Busch Gardens. Each tribe will have animals that thematically connect to their culture and traditions (ie. Gorillas will be featured in the Jabari clan, and Rhinoceroses in the Border clan).
There will be various shows and two restaurants that will connect to the story of our park through trained in character actors and visuals. (ie. The people in the Jabari tribe that are more reluctant to break away from tradition, will act differently from the people in the Panther tribe). The first restaurant is located in the Jabari tribe area: it features a vegetarian menu (as all the Jabari tribe members are vegetarian) and decorations similar to those seen in M'baku's throne room. The second restaurant is located around the mines in the Panther tribe area: it features a futuristic take on traditional West African food.
