On a few official Disney websites (I saw it on the Disney Careers website) it says "And visit www.thirdthemepark.com for some news on a third theme park coming soon..."
If you go to this website, all it says is "Stay tuned for some exciting news"
Does anybody know what this is about??

Also, I recall speaking to a Cast Member about 1 year ago and he told me he knew something about a 3rd theme park... a waterpark.
I have been visiting www.thirdthemepark.com for almost 1 yr now... and it hasn't been changed since.

I don't see any connection to Disney in the registration details (http://www.samspade.org/t/lookat?a=thirdthemepark.com) for that domain name. I was also unable to find a reference to "thirdthemepark" anywhere in the disney.go.com (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&safe=off&q=thirdthemepark+site%3Adisney.go.com&btnG=Google+Search) namespace.

It appears that the domain is a redirect to an AOL member's personal page.

Sources????


That thirdthemepark.com site does not look offical. I doubt Disney would use 3rd party trackers and link to a AOL site (the source has links to http://members.aol.com/disneyanasales/third_theme_park.htm)

Disney used to have an official site on that URL, but its registration must have elapsed. If you want to see the content, go to www.archive.org and type the TTP URL in the box. There you can see the one page that used to be up.

mousketeer is right. Thirdthemepark.com used to be an Imaginear website, but it wasn't renewed and it was taken by someone else.
Only speculation at this point as to what the third park is going to be, but I wouldn't expect anything before 2010.

Thanks for clearing it up a bit.
I am still surprised that this site is linked to the official Disney website (first I went to disney.com, then to Disney Careers -- DLR)
I believe it can also be found on www.disneylandresortjobs.com.

One of the official Birnbaum guides had some details on the Disneyland waterpark that's in development for the strawberry field. I think it was last year's guide for the resort, but I'm not sure.

Before they start thinking about a third gate they should concern themselves with the other park and a half they already have. There is a lot of work that needs to be done in DL and DCA before they focus on anything else.

I agree, and so does TDA, which is why development on the Third Park won't happen for several more years, and any ground breaking isn't going to happen until 2010 or later.

There was big talk about a water park about the same time they were opening DCA but I have not heard anything recently....

Take a look at thirdthemepark.com at http://web.archive.org/

Somehow, the new domain owner has set things up to redirect to the new site after the original, archived site has been displayed yfor a very short period.
