lol. He’s not my favorite anymore. I won’t get into why. My faves are OG55 and FreshBaked. They don’t pump out consistent DL content but I also really like Adam the Woo and Justin Scarred.

Did he break your heart? Do you need a hug? I'm here for you.....
I always thought he had some interesting takes on things, even if I don't agree with him. He isn't one I watch regularly though. I hardly watch OG55, and stopped watching Adam when he moved to FL, and stopped watching Justin when he stopped doing Randomland and stop focusing on DL. FB is the only one I still watch regularly.
lol I’m good thanks though.

Disney YTer OG55 thinks Frozen will come to DLR in the motor boat or subs area.

They better bring Disneyland the Tokyo version at least. We don’t need two of the “Maelstrom” versions in the American parks.
I can find pros and cons with both locations. If it goes in Fantasyland you hope that they keep it quaint and don’t shoehorn in a whole land/ sub land in there. Then again if something HAS to go in Fantasyland proper then Frozen isn’t a bad choice. I can’t imagine Autopia in its entirety and the motorboat cruise area are very long for this world. Although I’d prefer Beauty and the Beast. Not necessarily the ride but the IP. That might factor in their decision as well. Put a beloved property like BatB in DL as a one off attraction and save Frozen for the full land or at least something more grand in DL Forward since.
If it goes in DL Forward which means it’s most likely a full blown land it doesn’t seem like the greatest use of space and a bit redundant when Fantasyland exists next door at DL proper.

Disneyland needs more table service restaurants. Fantasyland would be a good place if they expand it.
But I also think they will save a new fantasyland to be near their hotels.

I just think they could've found a solution if they really wanted to.
About Coco - has Disney done anything underwhelming with that IP? From using the IP for shows, parades, DCL etc. its one of the new era IPs they take care of and I don't expect anything less for the attraction.

As cool as that would be, it's unlikely. The've never cloned a Tokyo version of an attraction anywhere else, and there's likely an exclusivity clause in place for at least a bit of time anyway.
Does it actually? I don't really get the sense that there's a ton of unsatisfied demand for table service at Disneyland. Sure, some TS restaurants have a lot of demand, but there are just as many if not more that are easily bookable on short notice. Most of the people who say DL needs more table service restaurants say that less because there's obvious demand and more because they're used to WDW and assume that DL is the aberration when it comes to the amount of table service dining in the parks and not the other way around.

What are you talking about? I was terrified of drops as a kid. I wouldn't ride pirates, I'm sure I wouldn't have ridden Frozen if it was around. None of us are saying ALL kids are scared of drops, but there is enough of the population that is that it would be a shame if they couldn't ride any boat rides aimed at their age group.

If it table service, I have fascination to try out Blue Bayou. But I prefer going out of the parks for better food. IMO.

I don't think drops are, or have to be, inherently terrifying things.
The fact that young children are going to be riding an attraction should not inherently mean that any sense of conflict, stress, fear, perceived obstacles, etc. must be edited out.
Walt and his designers (and people of older generations) assumed that most people were resilient and could handle some scary stuff; by contrast, now many people have decided that children are inherently fragile and can't handle much of anything.
The truth is somewhere in the middle, and in trying to satisfy everyone, it is only inevitable that no one will be satisfied.
Obviously slapping the Coco branding on a clone of VelociCoaster would be massively inappropriate, but I think the notion that throwing a drop on a Coco ride, especially if necessitated by story and/or spatial concerns, is inherently traumatizing or inherently makes something not-family friendly is a little far-fetched.
Is Pirates suddenly not family friendly because it has two drops on it? The fact that a few people (or, under the most generous possible interpretation, some) cannot handle the drops does not negate the fact that most people seem to handle them just fine.

It was recently announced that there will be a Coco sequel in 2029.
Interesting, I wonder if we'll see themes or ideas taken from the sequel and worked into the ride in the same way Way of Water/Fire and Ash may color DCA's Pandora
I’m taking about the fact that since you wrote the post above 4,327 four year old girls around the world rode Frozen.

I honestly think its best for all to walk away from this. Because really neither side has any real data to back either claim at this point. I would also avoid stating specific numbers as they too can't be proven.
Yes there are kids that ride these attractions with drops and also kids that don't, just like there are both kids that enjoy it and want to ride again and those that end up being terrified of it and never want to ride it again until maybe they are older and braver. To make a blanket statement on either side that all kids are this or that is silly.
So unless someone can produce real world data that shows either side of this argument we should drop it, pun intended.
Another 1,534 rode since this post ^^^

Please provide the proof of that, since you want to be a smart a** and pull numbers out your rear.
See two can play this game.
