MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

[mickEblu]

I have a hard time believing Disney didn’t adjust their plans for Piston Peak to include more water due to the backlash. They knew people were going to be upset which is why they didn’t announce where this project was going at D23 and waited until the day after. So considering we know that they knew the reaction they were going to get you’d assume they would have highlighted water as a prominent feature in the original concept art. And they didn’t. You can barely see a trickle of water in that sea of concrete in the original concept art.

Aren’t you on your way to Japan?

Nah. Need to save up a bit for those flights.

I'm sure they were just responding to the commentary with what they emphasized now. People upset about X? Make sure your next update smooths that over. Did plans actually change? Who knows.. but the old is old.. so not worth much thought.

Okay this is a nonsense conversation, that has been had over and over again.

We get it.

The truth of the matter is simple. Disney is going to what they feel like doing, based on what they think is in the best interest of the company.

Whether that’s remove Splash and wipe SOTS off the face of the planet, or remove ROA, or whatever.


Either you move on, and stop supporting Disney if it bothers you, or you suck it up and realize the world is a changing, every day.

And also discuss the changes on a discussion board!

 

[The Mom]

Please stay on topic. Thank you.

It's one thing to discuss changes, it's another to discuss the SAME THING that has been said since 2020, in a thread that has nothing to do with that conversation. Going in circles, saying nothing new.

 

[Disney Analyst]

Unfortunately that counts as discussion for some people.

It's masochistic.

Definition:

"(in general use) enjoying an activity that appears to be painful or tedious"

Example:

"they seem to take a masochistic delight in never letting it go"

Sorry…. I wasn’t talking about the off topic stuff like splash and pirates - I just meant the discussion about cars moving into Frontierland etc.

Water is cheap, covers up a lot of other problems and still keeps views. That’s all. There is not a meaningful portion of people who are going to look at MK and say “huh this river is not as big as it used to be, I didn’t enjoy my time and/or I’ve decided not to come back” There’s still water in multiple places in Magic Kingdom with this plan

I will sorely feel the loss.

Big Thunder without a view RoA will not be at all the same.

 

[Incomudro]

So, yes...
Looks like we are getting a lot more water and actually preserving a portion of the Frontierland waterfront along with the walkways that run alongside.
The former loading dock for the Riverboat will actually face a waterfall.
This is all so much better than I feared, and I would like to believe Disney was influenced by the backlash.
I really like how they are leaning into the National Parks theme rather than simply an off road Rallye Race.
I really hope Disney truly delivers.

Halfsies.

Deal.

We don’t have to like every change. That’s why we have a voice: to communicate. It’s healthy and fair to express criticism of changes. Not every change is for the better. Change for the sake of change is not good.

Disney seems to find new space for DVC but the actual parks it's rip something out and replace or leave it empty. With 25,000 acres you would think park expansion would be a no brainer

Most of the upcoming changes are not about expansion, they are about optimization.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

So DLR just confirmed a new E Ticket going into DCA, a very landlocked park, and it is not replacing anything. Why can’t WDW do the same?

Is Coco and E Ticket level ride? I hadn't heard that

Either way, point remains that they do seem to figure out how to squeeze things in more at DLR than WDW

Though as pointed out Trina and Rat were, and the Monsters Door Coaster will be an addition and Villains Land will be too

 

[doctornick]

If they are doing Cars themed versions of Disney characters, it would be a good opportunity to bring in a car version of Humphrey the Bear.

 

[doctornick]

I don’t think what they’ve detailed is specific enough to know, might be more like a D ticket.


Regardless, I know there was some question as to where exactly Coco will go. Does anyone have a good map showing the specific plot planned? I thought I read that it might replace Goofys Sky School

Just to be clear, I did not say it has to be liked.

You might have missed the very off topic conversation, it’s enough to drive anyone crazy when it’s the same thing that’s been discussed the last 5 years.

How did we get to California?
