Will Rockstar take that risk?

GTA 6 fans hyped for game’s own parody of Disney World

There’s much we still don’t know about Rockstar Games’ upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI.

One thing that is confirmed though is the fact that the game will be set within Vice City, Grand Theft Auto’s answer to real-life Miami.

Of course, the map will extend beyond Vice City which means we’ll likely get to explore other areas of Leonida, the game’s version of IRL Florida.

It’s expected that’ll include places like the Florida Keys and the Everglades.

What fans are really hoping for though is that Grand Theft Auto VI provides its own take on iconic Florida tourist attraction Disney World.

GTA, as a franchise, nails satire.

You need only look at GTA VI’s original reveal trailer to see that in action, with a number of viral Florida-centric clips mimicked by developers.

You can imagine then that fans might be eager to see the studio’s take on ‘The Happiest Place on Earth’.

Reddit user EmeraldX08 originated the idea, writing, “If GTA VI is going to have a Magic Kingdom parody, do you think it will be adult-oriented? Or will it just mock the corporate bulls**tery of Disney?”

“I think they will make their own and have some Easter eggs mocking Disney,” replied CalligrapherFalse511.

“Honestly, I can’t see it being too on the nose. Disney probably wouldn’t be happy with a massacre simulator in something very similar to their real park. I doubt it’ll have a castle, it’s just too Disney branded. Maybe it’ll be themed with Impotent Rage or the Robot Bubblegum anime thing,” commented a more moderate minimumefforr.

That’s my own line of thinking.

Disney is a family-friendly company and while Rockstar does enjoy leaning into satire, I’m not sure they’d risk the litigation that might come with mimicking Disney World.

As a Disney Parks fan myself though, it would be kind of cool to explore an in-game iteration.

Of course, Disney World is far from being the only theme park or major attraction in Florida.

There’s Universal Orlando, Busch Gardens, and SeaWorld.

You have to factor in though that many of these are quite a number of hours away from Miami so it’s not guaranteed the map will stretch far enough to cover them.

That being said, I could see the inclusion of a fictional theme park mimicking the nature of Florida tourism in general.
