honestly, I think with Muppetvision closing and RNRC rethemed, writing might be on the wall for star tours. Honestly I do think with the many announcements last year, much writing is on multipe respective walls.

With the way Disney is closing/replacing stuff too, I wouldn’t be surprised if Indy is replaced in the further off future. Sure it’s still high GSE and eats people, but so was muppets. Plus, it’s a big spot, prime for a singular attraction, and Indy is getting his big break at DAK. I’m sure it still has decent time left but I do feel that once AC is filled, Indy at DAK is a goner. Don’t get me wrong, I like Indy stunt show, but do I think it should still be at DHS when it is bordering on 45 years old in the 2030’s? Maybe not.

Indy has to be a higher priority than star tours it’s a very sizable plot of land only question is what would it be?

It honestly should be. It doesn't really make sense in the park now since the moviemaking aspect is gone (it fit the original Disney-MGM much better), and it's also been running for 35 years. It's time for something new, even though it's always been a good show.

I don't really understand what you're arguing now. Did you not read my second paragraph? You're basically repeating what I said regarding individual subjectivity (this is exactly why I used Magic Mountain as an example, since for me it's a park that lacks variety and offers almost nothing worth doing but I would never argue that means it isn't a full day park for others), which is why I'm a little lost.

It sounds like you're just saying it's not a full day park for you. Well, that's inarguable because it's a personal opinion. But to suggest it's not a full day park for the average guest because it's not one for you doesn't make any sense. The Magic Kingdom is generally considered a full day park for the average guest, and Disneyland is regularly described as a two-day park.

The half-day/full-day park argument has always been too dynamic for me.

For example, to me, every theme park in the world except Disneyland is a half-day park. Even Magic. Even DisneySea. Even IoA. Maybe even Europa Park.

Yeah. I feel like with the new precedent set by all these park closures, some stuff’s position at wdw needs to be re-evaluated. Indy and star tours had good runs, but the park has moved on without them. They are among the last of a dying breed, and even some of the cocroaches at DHS are finally going away. Their spots can be used for something else.

Wildest fantasy imagineering: muppet dark ride of some kind. Probably interactive (ride and go seek-like maybe?) to draw people in

Based in reality: that Simpsons area that has been rumored for a bit. Allows Disney to have their cake, but still save AC for something even bigger.

I would hate it if Hollywood Studios last big expansion pad went to Simpsons “promptly shudders”

They still have echo lake area as well including the possibility to expand the park a little backstage there too. That may actually be a bigger space depending on how much behind the current AC area they demo and use. There was even talk years ago of taking out the parking garage and some backstage buildings and moving them across World Drive with an overpass connecting into the park. If they did all of that AC would be a large space maybe capable of holding 2 new lands.

I actually like Simpson at Uni (except for the rides). Simpsons works great in a theme park because of the quirky details from the show that can be built out. It’s also a fun IP. I think a good mix of serious and silly works for a theme park.

Maybe it's an East Coast vs West Coast thing. Most everyone I know considers Disneyland a full day park and Magic Kingdom is a half day that leans heavily towards children. I've even heard Podcasters like For Your Amusement talking about how MK is their least favourite US Disney park.

If what's there is good enough for you, that's great. For myself and most West Coasters, it needs 3-4 more Fantasyland style darkrides and another 2-3 modern E tickets. Tron was the right idea, just poor execution and placement.

Come on, MK is not a half day park and its attendance records speak on that. It is the park that most people will hit up 2x in their vacation.

And its nighttime show has always been the standard back from Wishes to HEA.

The easy coast? I think you mean the big easy oh and wrong state

I'm not a fan of the office building that comes out of Everest. You can see parts of this from the parking lot and the drive to Animal Kingdom, and it's bothered me since the ride opened.

View attachment 840839

While I agree it was bad when it opened, when this photo was taken - they have improved it, and they spent money to do it. They at least acknowledged it looked bad from guest areas and tried to fix it.

Which is the point… they used to care a bit more.

What’s RSR

Radiator Springs Racers - which is completely exposed from the back and that is very visible from outside the park.

Disney - stop exposing your backside!!! Literally and figuratively haha.

I think it's numbers speak to it being the icon of the resort. A resort which was built to appeal moreso to tourists than previous models.

And Epcot was always made to speak to a more mature demographic. What are people more likely to enjoy; the heart or the mind? Of course they prefer the park with actual Disney characters and fairy tale lands. We all know nobody was choosing MGM. That park has always been the problem child. Maybe it will become a number two, but that's only because Disney is muddying Epcot bit by bit.

But that's why Magic Kingdom is #1.
It is a great park if you have a 10 year old. It's the best oriented park at the resort, in terms of theme. It's the park that becomes synonymous with the name of the resort.

But being the best isn't the same as being perfect. There are always things that be improved upon. And for Magic Kingdom, 3-4 new Fantasyland-style dark rides and 3 new E-Tickets would make it a park that appeals to me; a non 10-year- old tourist. A park which would keep me there all day instead of 4-7 hours.

But growing up with Disneyland as a full day park, MK very much feels like a half day park. I went with a first time visitor in late Summer and by 1 PM we had done just about everything. True, Big Thunder was down for maintenance and Tron wasn't open by our visit, but we did just about everything else. Including the Belle storytelling experience and the clones of Disneyland attractions. 4 hours to complete the park. Another 2-3 to re-ride the top attractions. 6-7 hours does not a full day park make.

Any age can enjoy Jungle cruise, Tiki room, pirates, Big thunder, CBJ, Haunted mansion, HOP, Mine Train, Phillarmagic, Pooh, Astro orbitor, Space Mt, COP, Peoplemover, Tron, Buzz, Main street vehicles, the train

better tell them to close the jungle cruise then

Any age can enjoy those attractions. I think many are missing the point. If you are more into thrills or with children, you're more likely to skip things like Dumbo, Flying Carpets, the Carousel and Tea Cups.

 

[JD80]

Yea the most visited theme park in the world is mostly a 10 minute park. I typically spend more time at Joffries in EPCOT, better vibes imo.

Just my opinion.

For most MK is a full day park. For that poster MK is a half day park cause he doesn't ride a lot of the Fantasyland rides.

A good comparison would be a person who isn't into coasters or big thrills going to a Six Flags park. They will find that park a 1/2 day park at best as they don't ride most of the attractions there.
