News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

I think it's a bit different, in that (at least in my understanding) Test Track and RSR don't simply use the same ride vehicle system, but have an identical track layout

Not even remotely close, they use the same slot car ride system though (along with Journey to the center of the earth)

Just keep an eye on any rumor involving it, and a certain 30+ year old TV show in regards to Studios right now.

Assuming you were talking about BatB... it is surprisingly close if they were willing to fill in a small part of the lake, move the boat launch and find a new way to get to fantasmic (I also had to mirror the ride)

Oh I didn't mean BATB, d'oh!

So, the Simpsons...I know people don't like it, but in Hollywood studios I think it works.

Totally misread that lol, I thought you meant to watch for 30+ year old theme park show (BatB live is ~32 years old) to be removed. Also is anyone else surprised how much space there is around BATB?

At one point, a big David Copperfield restaurant was planned and announced.

Simpson’s Rockin Rollercoaster! Bring it!

How would that even work though? I enjoy the Simpsons and their humor (loved the film) though the show has fallen off a bit it’s still entertaining. Doesn’t the Simpsons not fit within HWS though? Would they build a Springfield?

I'm not sure how they would do it. I don't think they would build a Springfield since that's been done already. Could it possibly be a show? Something I think might be interesting is something based off of the Halloween of horrors episodes.

Hopefully they decide to go for Radiator Springs Racers in the Studios.

Hopefully they’d do the entire Cars Land if they go that direction. RSR alone is not ideal not what the park needs.

 

[Purduevian]

OK lets try my awful Photoshop MS paint skills again with the rumor of RSR and Coco FOP coming to BBT. This would involve re-routing that large waterway for RSR. Also I know Navi is in the same building as FOP so bonus boat ride.

 

[britain]

Really, just change rockin rollercoaster to a manifestation of the opening credits of The Simpsons. Queue through Springfield Elementary school, bell rings, Elfman music, every Springfield locale and citizen crammed in every corner, you’re done.

 

[neo999955]

I've said it so many times and I know a lot of people disagree, but a full Simpsons' land (the size of GE) is exactly what I want. I want to step into Springfield in a way that feels way more authentic than the Universal's take and I want hilarious and exciting rides. Plus, the food and merch would be so fun. The Universal merch is lowkey bad compared to Disney quality.

It's probably my top want at Disney, cause I (and basically everyone I know) loves The Simpsons.

I’d be ok with us getting RSR, I can even see it working at MK if not being a little awkward. I prefer it at HWS though.

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

Oh geez, here we go again with the Simpsons. Let's please not.

The DHS attraction is looks to me temporary since no Cars Land or ride FTM. Why is Another Cars ride a big deal when three track less rides exist two in same park and one closest park next door.

I'd like variety in the IP. If I want Cars, I'll go to DHS. I don't see how Cars fits Villains or Coco (I get the BTMRR setting similarity).

We currently have Frozen, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Finding Nemo attractions in multiple parks. So...

I get that you can use the same IP across parks, but I don't think Cars in MK is additive, and I can just go to DLR. It's a fun ride, but I don't really want copy/paste rides at WDW. You can use the same system/layout, but a different IP.

I heard either HS or MK will end up with it. Leaning towards MK.

DHS makes more sense. Cars seems more realistic (odd right?) and it would fit nicely into the movie-set theme. Plus, you already have the LMcQ Academy, and previous LMA Stunt Show. It fits much better than fairytale land.

If it ends up not being RSR, what else could there be besides Coco (and potentially Villains)? Strangely no one’s talked about what a Woody attraction would be like, even though the source behind it is questionable.

Coco flows nicely from BTMRR geographically, and then Villains offer so many different characters/movies that it should be multiple rides. How they can fit anything else is crazy.

 

[Nickm2022]

If they are going to replicate Cars put it in Hollywood Studios (a park that needs it) and also put it in Paris's Adventure World while you're at it. I think Coco (and even a Woody ride) make much more sense next to Big Thunder than Cars. Plus Coco would lead nicely into Villains land since Coco is all about the land of the dead, which they can easily connect to many villains inside the land (my thought is Hades or Jafar).

I also think in general Pixar doesn't work in Castle parks. Pixar works better at the DCA's, EPCOT, and Hollywood studios. I think Coco is an exception because of how it does feel a bit more Disney than Pixar. That's why I want Pixar properties like Monsters Inc, or Cars at Hollywood instead of Simpsons or Zootopia.

Cars is still RSR only. Not the full Carsland.

It it comes. Wherever to.

That makes sense, though. Not a huge fan of Luigi's (and they spent a ton of money on putting some sort of ride there--far too much for what it is) and we already have a covered Mater's Junkyard Jamboree.
