    It seems like almost every park has a Western section or perhaps an outer space area ... What type of theming would you like to see at park, but never have?

    IMHO, there is a difference in Theming(tells a story) and decor(fits atmosphere).  

    Rarer themes; 
    Great America's original Yukon territory had lumberjacks log rolling and log climbing and a woodshop along with great landscaping.  
    Disneyland's main street is a little more common and copied, but few have the Disneyland energy of horses, trolleys, omnibus etc.  
    Bon Bon land's excrement candy theming is strangely great.  
    Pandora(great, could be awesome)
    Rookburg and Klughiem in Phantasialand.  
    Disneysea's Arabian Coast and Mediterranean harbor. 
    Port Adventura's Polynesia
    Peppa pig is not rare as a theme park, but Peppa Pig World as a themed area in Paulton's park is themed perfectly.

    And my favorite rare... Mysterious Island Disneysea

    Bucket list; Haw Par Villa theme park and Disneyland Shanghai Treasure Cove 

    Dream theme; while not a themed area, put together this would be awesome; Aulani resort Hawaii, Disneyland's Trader Sams/Tiki Room/Tropical Hideaway/Jungle cruse and WDW's Polynesian resort.

    Your absolutely right theming and decoration are related but not the same thing. While I appreciate both, I absolutely love a well themed area that essentially transports you to a whole different realm!

    I do love the idea of a truly exotic theme. Most of us will never have the chance to be so deep in an.exotic.paradise, but the theme you constructed will truly give us a taste of it!
