4. Sewer-Like Utilidoors

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles might like to stalk the streets of Manhattan looking for criminals every once in a while, but, as you know, they spend most of their time hiding and living down in the labyrinthine network that is the New York City sewers and subway system, with the humanoid mutant rat Master Splinter. 

How awesome would it be to be able to access some of these areas, and even see the Turtles Lair itself? You could check out Donatello's surveillance system, Michelangelo's pizza-licious kitchen, Raphael's gym, Leonardo's training dojo, and Master Splinter's meditation room, not to mention where they store vehicles such as the Shellraiser and even the Turtles Blimp!

Aesthetically, we think a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed land would work best if it adopted the style of the 1987 cartoon. After all, it's popping with colour, and is among one of the more recognizable and beloved iterations of the half-shell heroes. But don't worry - these wouldn't be your average sewers and subway systems, and the only thing they'd smell of is cheesy pizza!

3. Underground Attraction

The sewers leads us nicely onto the next must-have features - attractions. You can't have a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed land without at least two signature attractions, and one of them would have to be located down in the land's sewer system (perhaps "underground" is a far more appealing word).

An underground-based attraction would easily work as a dark and slow river-based ride. You'd drift along shallow rivers through massive cylindrical tunnels, and you'd pass state-of-the-art audio-animatronic Ninja Turtles, as well as villains such as The Shredder, Bebop, Rocksteady, and the Foot Soldiers, and even April O'Neil, Splinter, and Casey Jones!

All the while, the iconic 1987 cartoon intro theme would play, along with some original tracks created specifically for the themed land, of course. And though we said this would be a slow, river-based ride, what's a water-based ride without a big of a drop at the end? But don't worry - the Ninja Turtles would be keeping an eye out...

2. City-Based Attraction

Now that we're back on the surface, we can add a ride that's a lot faster and a lot more adrenalin-fuelled. This is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, after all, and though we said that they like to stalk both the city streets and the sewers, you'll also be familiar with their skyline antics too. In fact, the Ninja Turtles are as synonymous with the NYC skyline as Spider-Man.

So, remember what we said about the Turtles Blimp? Well, seeing as we would have a Na'vi River Ride-inspired Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles attraction, then why not go all out and have an Avatar Flight of Passage-inspired attraction too. That's right - a flying 3D simulator attraction, but this time forget blue characters - in the TMNT-themed land, it's all about the green.

Strap in as you board the Turtles Blimp ready for a skyline adventure, which will see you weave between towering Manhattan buildings, skim low over Central Park, or the Hudson River, and then over the Statue of Liberty. But this isn't some excursion - the Turtles have some day-saving to attend to, as the likes of The Shredder and his Foot Soldiers decide to attack the city!

1. Character Greetings

Last but not least, you can't have a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed land without all the appropriate characters. Heroes, villains, those who operate in that grey area in the middle - all of them. Okay, maybe not all, but the most iconic ones, of course, like all those already mentioned. But at the very least, our four favourite pizza-munching turtles.

Character greetings and interactions would be a must, and we can't think of better costumes than the Jim Henson ones used in the 1990 live-action film. Although, with that said, if we're going for the 1987 cartoon-themed look, then we'll have to stay on brand and keep the Ninja Turtles equally colourful and happy like their animated on-screen counterparts.

And, needless to say, the land would also need to feature appropriately-themed retail outlets and eateries. Where the latter is concerned, we can't think of anything more appropriate than Michelangelo's Pizza Shack. Or perhaps even Master Splinter's Sushi Bar.

Now we only have one thing left to say - Cowabunga!
