MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

[MR.Dis]

I ride the carousel. Make the adults with me do it, too, to embarrass them... which how much fun they're having.

Orbiter at MK has crazy lateral sheer. The arms are too short and too fast for a relaxing ride. That was one and done.

Yep, I have grand kids. No way we are ever going to MK without going on all the spinners. Their only disappointment this past year is the Triceratops spinner at AK was gone, go figure- LOL.

So correct. In Magic Kingdom you have Dumbo, Aladdin Carpet, and Astro Oritor--all the same system in the same Park. So there is supposed to be an issue with the same ride system in 2 different parks, this is laughable. If the attraction is well done, NO ONE will complain!

Agreed.

 

[SMRT-1Michael]

Really? It shouldn't be done because it would be similar to a ride system in another park? That is indeed laughable. Original EPCOT was almost entirely omnimovers, movies and boat rides.

i really miss when it was all movies, omnimovers, and boats lol. I could go on everything! Now I have to take motrin just to ride GOTG.

No park is improved by having zero variety.

No park is improved by having zero variety.

Variety isn't created solely by ride systems. EPCOT had more variety than most parks.

I posted this in the cars thread... but I didn't realize how big this expansion might be... It can fit Everest, ROTR, and Alien with room to spare...

 

[Purduevian]

From what I hear, this is just villains.

Believe me, I'm shocked too, I'm only expecting the coaster and dark ride.

Also bringing this over from the Cars thread... New rumor for villains land is a dark ride, a coaster, a flat ride, and a special surprise!

Hasn’t Disney confirmed only 2 attractions for Villains Land?

They said it'll be "home to two attractions". Though I'm not sure Disney would say they are confirming anything about the space other than it's a Villains themed land.

The "flat ride" part of the rumor has me nervous. I really, really hope it won't be an immersion-breaking flat ride a la Aladdin. Imagine spending billions and then breaking the immersion like that.

What qualifies as a flat ride? Could it be something like Tinkerbell's Busy buggies ride or Heimlichs were kids/families get a slow ride through areas of the land?

Or is it really just a type of spinner ?

"The space will be home to two major attractions, dining, and shopping on an incredibly twisted grand scale."
From Disney Parks Blog

It says nothing about minor attractions or shows. Now how you define a major attraction?
Is 7D a major attraction? Is mermaid? is Pooh Bear? Is Tiki Room?

The tangled flat ride coming to Paris seems like it could be made to be on theme for villains land.

 

[Haymarket2008]

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again: the ride lineup should be on the scale of Fantasy Springs. Give us multiple dark rides. One mega E ticket a la Frozen. And supplemental rides of scale like Tinker Bell & Tangled.

This IP deserves a whole host of experiences.

Hot take: but a coaster is lazy.

We have no idea what we are going to get until it opens.

Look at previous projects; Galaxy's edge, Toy Story land, and the worst of them all, the EPCOT renovation!

For all, we got less than promised.

Just needs a new face.

Busy Buggies and even Heimlich's are bus bar rides (though Heimlich's was so small that it might've been close). My understanding is "flat ride" generally involves vehicles attached to / moving around a central mechanism (spinners, Mad Tea Party, Alien Swirling Saucers, pendulum swing rides, carousels...) or an open floor space (Luigi's). It seems Disney is leaning into those in many locations, which could seriously damage immersion in otherwise-transportive lands.

They just said two major attractions, which leaves it open for other things.

A special surprise? What, are they bringing back Alien Encounter?

Classic busbar dark rides? Maybe?
