They’re not going with a cheaper or more cost effective choice. They are going with one that is more expensive because a guy who doesn’t like the park will be able to look at a map and see that it looks a lot different. Just like he did not that long ago at Epcot.
As Lazy pointed out, this isn’t even the relevant issue, but… It was my money. And yours. And everyone else on these boards. You’re pleading poverty on the part of a resort run by one of the worlds largest entertainment companies, a resort that has been raising prices to astronomical levels while slashing services. Shall we list a few? Magic Express. Hotel package delivery. In-room dining. Streetmosphere performers. Ride after ride after ride. Want to keep going?
The area and every single thing in it was designed to take advantage of the Rivers. It is absolutely integral to the narrative and aesthetics of the land.
It most certainly is a barrier , just look at the map. Can you engineer around it of course, but is that a wise use of money - they don’t believe it is. It will now be a much more usable space for both attraction experiences as well as getting people to the other side . Plus it has the potential to be scenically beautiful. You won’t need to wait and take a stupid raft to get there either.
why is that a reason the MK should have less dining, live entertainment, and attractions then DL?
Agree on the dining front personally , but MK has plenty of attractions to make their customers happy and coming back.
Or perhaps I have an understanding of the history of business and economics and grasp that today’s “immutable truths” are profoundly arbitrary.
Leave my riverboat fantasies out of this!!!
Yeah, when the new art was released, they confirmed that the dock area will remain and there will be a prominent water feature seperating that section of Frontierland from the Cars attraction (despite what some on here are claiming isn't happening)
Water features aren’t interchangeable. Just having water right at that edge is not a strong organizing principle. It being kept shows a complete lack of understanding of the role of the Rivers of America in the larger design of the space.
It’s still going to be a river, it’s going to flow off the mountain and then go into a cave right past CBJ. Storywise, when it comes to old Frontierland it will be exactly the same.
It’ll be more of a creek. It will not at all be the same story wise because the scale makes no sense for it to be an organizing feature.
All I was saying was the facts that have been released. Not everything needs to be an argument. I get you don't want the Rivers of America to leave, but let's not debate the fact that the dock area will remain and there will be a prominent water feature still in Frontierland.
At no point has it been said that the water feature will be a creek, that's something you've said to justify you're dislike of the change. Let's please stick with facts
He was correcting the assertion that it will “still be a river”. It is known that it will no longer be that large.
The fact is that you cannot just claim it is the same. It will not be the same size. It will not have the same spatial design. Those are the facts.
