Marvel coming to WDW?!?!

[ChrisFL]

so doing some thinking here.

Here's where it gets sticky to me, and apologies if someone else brought this up already.

Of all of the Marvel properties which Disney has access to, it seems like the only reason they were going with GOTG was because of the possibility of skirting the contract issue at WDW.

GOTG may be somewhat popular but it is far from Marvel's biggest or most family friendly property

If WDW wouldn't go with GOTG, why not overlay DCA with a better option like a Stark Tower or something?

While I love ToT, and I love Guardians, this seems like Frostrom all over again. Gutting a ride that is a fan favorite for an IP that is deserving its own, unique and immersive attraction. I get it, but I don't get it.

Part of me hates seeing ToT being gutted, part of me wants to see how far this boondoggle will go.

So... yeah.

No, this is a worse idea.

 

[Matt_Black]

If he didn't before, I'm sure Chappie really hates WDWMagic now.

That's all.

Much like how furries were claiming that Zootopia was made specifically to cater to them, I believe this is another example of an internet community vastly overestimating their influence.

I wonder about the execution of the attraction and what it will take to go all the way and make DCA TOT a compelling makeover. It seems like it will take a good bit of exterior work and paint. Do they expect Apers will just come and get their love? They will have to pour a lot of detail into the queue and lobby in order to replace the detail and place making of the original ride. How is the golden age of Hollywood architecture going to be transformed into a moonage daydream. Are they just going to Tron track the area and put glowing blue suede lights and neon everywhere. No matter what they do it won't be mountain high levels of theming. I'm hooked on a feeling that this attraction will cherry bomb and everyone will be screaming I want you back to the tower of terror. Chappie done fooled around and fell in to a quagmire. I know he was looking for a escape and hoping things are gonna get easier when the spirit in the sky posted the lowdown. Right now, I'll just wait and see how things are gonna be.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Man, I hope this happens at DHS! GotG is AWESOME!! Face it, ToT is, like, sooooo old. It's like what, from the '90s? Seriously, look at how dusty all the carp in the lobby is. If they can't keep it clean, just get rid of it.

Bring on the raccoon with a machine gun!

I must have missed that.....

sarcasm, however, may fly over some of the execs heads

Consider yourself lucky then, it was a truly bizarre discussion. Thankfully, I can't even remember where I saw it mentioned on these boards

Perhaps it was a nightmare...

I never imagined you were a bit of a maso chist Mr. Rybar!

No but I am cynical and love entropy...

I am not sure anyone else picked up on what you were doing but...

THIS. THIS is awesome.

thank you

Definitely one of the better movie soundtracks in the last few years.

I'm not in love with it either

I probably was the one who mentioned it being bandied about on another forum that has quite a few furries.

I honestly believe the furries were imagining things. I mean, there were a few events targeted to them by some Movie Theater companies. Not Disney.

I was just going to "like" this...but I "love" this.

What's a furry?

Don't go down that rabbit hole.

Well now I need to know.

 

[Matt_Black]

Basically, furries are people who like to dress up as anthropomorphic animals. Often confused/ lumped together with Other-kin, a group that thinks that while they look human on the outside, they're really elves or sprites or gosh knows what else on the inside, or Plushies, people who dress like stuffed animals.

Most are harmless, if a bit eccentric. Of course, there are a few who are... um... REALLY into it, if you know what I mean.
