The new information seems to corroborate my fears, just like almost all the previous information - we’re going to be getting sparsely populated spaces with one overly elaborate AA (often addressing us directly) rather then deep, intricate scenes with lots of figures of the type that Disney used to be known for. It’s more Frozen, more RotR, more River Journey, more blah.
The only place an Aladdin area would make any sense would be as another expansion of Fantasyland. And it would have to be properly sectioned off into its own sort of mini area to work so it doesn't clash.
Right. So, it’s a lateral move at worst.
I loved that vignette too, great now it will be a corporate office.
I wouldn't jump to conclusions about this just yet. Not until we see some sort of evidence. The article mentions that imagineers placed cutouts specifically for Tiana and Louis, no such cutouts were mentioned being present for the critter band. It's plausible that only the main movie characters received such cutouts, ones that would also be the most advanced AA's, and the other secondary critters throughout the ride weren't marked as such.
Right. This ride is going to live or die on its critters I think. How many, and how much movement.
Different strokes for different folks, personally I’d much rather explore an old barn than a grocery store managers office.
Correct. I'm waiting for some definitive proof before torching the ride, but it's going to be a bloodbath if they don't deliver on both quantity and quality.
What exactly do you like about Disney World then?
Agreed, that would have been the sane thing to do.
Sure they let him see what they wanted him to see. But they didn't write the copy.
We're back to Frontierland must be dust and tumbleweed. Um, the Louisiana Purchase included multiple terrains beyond the 13 colonies. Why people think the "frontier" cannot include Louisiana vegetation is beyond me.
Interesting. Has that thought process ever occurred to you for the Tree of Life or Swiss Family Robinson Tree? What about Pandora? Just wondering.
I have to respond although we're going down a rabbit hole. Aladdin is a better fit in a generic Adventureland than shoehorning him into a western African nation where his story doesn't even take place. It's bad enough they have a M&G for him in Morocco now.
Splash was never mediocre. It was one of the most immersive and best rides on property. At the same time, I won't pre-judge TBA. I won't deny the storyline about finding an ingredient for Tiana's co-op has me nervous. There better be a good payoff.
