The question remains will this incredible experience feel special and unique but yet out of place. I get that it fits with WDW but Magic Kingdom? Did Magic Kingdom have to sacrifice becoming a flat heated park with only lands surrounding it when Hollywood Studios is basically that. Also I hear you won't get the best trees because the underneath the soil is the cast member tunnels. Hollywood Studios wouldn't have that issue.
Diet I mean it's a weak version of than Disneyland and other castle parks. It will be no more weak with a Villain's Land but people will always refer to castle parks for what's classic is why people continue to see the best Epcot in it's glory 80s to late 90s days.
That's also easily inferred looking at the concept art. What isn't clear however is if there will be darkride element show scenes. I suspect there will be based on what appears to be a tunnel portion. We won't know for sure til we get more details.
3 and none of them really match up. 2 of them look like very early concept sketches and really don’t tell us much.
Big buzzer noise.
So we used to call this a castle park, or simply, Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom. Disneyland.
The tunnels don't go under ROA so that won't effect the trees here at all unless they make the shocking choice to expand the tunnels which I definitely doubt they'd do
Main Street and storybook circus do. Fantasyland is definitely not modern day.
Exactly. So what's all this talk about TSI not being more popular? It's not made to be high capacity. It sounds like many people are expecting it to be something it was never meant to be. This whole "if more people visited TSI..." argument falls apart from the jump because it wasn't built to move the same amount of people as a dark ride. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have a place in the park or doesn't serve as important of a purpose as a dark ride. But the other side of the argument is "there aren't enough people using it"...so, my point was Disney could've done something to entice more people. I've been to that island in the early 90s when there were people everywhere, and the there were so many kids on the balancing rock I just had to skip it. I've "white washed" that fence, and I've fished in the ROA from deck near Aunt Polly's. My point was there are things they could've done to make it more engaging and bring it closer to capacity. And if it reaches capacity? Do what the MK front gates do and close it off to new guests until others leave. I'm pretty sure they know how to handle crowds.
This is false. I of course can't speak for everyone, but I'm pretty sure we've all considered what may be gained here. And many of us feel like it won't measure up to what we already have. We've all seen the early concept art. We know what they are proposing. We see that they've beautifully drawn rocks and trees and, yes, even water. But some of us have tried to be optimistic about Disney's proposed changes and we've been let down time and time again. What they give us doesn't measure up to what they tear down. That's not progress, that's change for the sake of change. It's great if some people can still be optimistic towards Disney with these things, but many of us have tried doing that and came away disappointed. And there's only so much benefit of the doubt people can give before they give up and automatically start expecting the worst. Maybe Disney will prove us naysayers wrong...but it would be a surprise at this point.

Actually every land has a time period attached... Everything but the TTC....and that is dated because they never did much with it.... Jungle Cruise is set in the early 20th Century, Pirates is set in the 18th century I would guess...Frontierland looked to be late 19th early 20th century.... Extremely Limiting??? I guess any theme at all is limiting... So perhaps something like a 6 Flags park would better suit as it has none of those nasty limits....lol It can have anything anywhere....Which is exactly what TDO seems to be working towards....
I guess their point is that Jungle Cruise and Pirates both exist in Adventureland, but are set 200 years apart. So why can’t Cars and Big Thunder both exist in Frontierland and be set 150 years apart.
You should have stopped at Jungle Cruise and Pirates, where you listed 2 rides in one land with totally different time periods. The geography connects them. Same exact is happening at Frontierland with Cars. Thanks for providing the examples
Not really… the pirates are ghosts - we are going back in time to see them.
