MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

[HMF]

I wouldn’t be worried about the sounds from the Cars main ride bleeding over to other areas of Frontierland or Liberty Square if we’re going to judge based off RSR. All you hear is the ride system anywhere outside of the attraction. I’d be more worried about the kiddie ride that will most likely have an ongoing music loop and character narration like Maters or Luigi’s. But I’d imagine that’s why it’s located where it is in the concept art.

To be honest the concept of Larry the Cable Guy singing juxtaposed with the obnoxious sounds of the Haunted Mansion Interactive Queue sound like nightmare fuel for me. So I hope it is as far away from the Mansion as humanly possible.

Single IP lands have no business being in the castle parks.

Star Wars Galaxies Edge in Disneyland already broke that rule.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Star Wars Galaxies Edge in Disneyland already broke that rule.

As have the Toy Story lands at HKDL and SDL

I mean, like it or not, this is a guiding principal for them. How much revenue do they generate from the ROA and TSI? Can they monetize either of these with an ILL? That would be No and No, respectively. Cars is an easily recognizable brand that will generate revenue. YMMV as to whether it fits or not.

I also would like to point out the elephant in the room here. Obviously the prime motivator for getting rid of ROA and TSI is money but is it also possible because of the declining image of America in popular opinion could be a factor in closing such Americana based concepts as ROA and TSI?

I wasn't too interested in Frontierland or the aesthetic having not grown up on cowboy movies etc.

....until I played Red Dead Redemption in 2010, then Red Dead Redemption 2 a decade later. Absolute classic western stories (though not very Disney friendly).

Mediums change, we went from books and stage theater to movies, then to television and now to video games.

Universal is on board, I wonder if we'd see a big video game based franchise eventually be added to Disney (without movie or TV versions).

For the record, I do think the story of Red Dead Redemption would go GREAT in a well made TV series...grow the fan base like The Last of Us and Fallout did.

My opinion, AI will lead to the downfall of society.

It might be the downfall of our current society but I don't think it will be the downfall of society in general which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

So while it is obvious why Cars was shoehorned in as one of Disney's biggest merch sellers of the 2000s that has yet to have such a permanent venue, and they can't use much Marvel...
I don't think it is a long term greatness, but a part of a quick response that plays rather weakly without pleasing either nostalgiac purists, theme hounds or general audiences enough.

You can add "vibe junkies" to the list, lol. My vibes!! Where are my vibes!! (Runs screaming to World Showcase and dunks head in Germany fountain).

This is just so sad and telling. None of those mediums wholly replaced the others but, most importantly, themed entertainment is its own storytelling medium.

 

[celluloid]

Yes because Universal has a wealth of rides that all ages can enjoy? Not with you on this

Never said they did. But they definitely are growing in appeal in the present IP relevant mandate that Disney is choosing to be stuck in.
accesibility and this is a different discussu8j and the audience base is getting better again for youngins. 40 inches tall at Epic and you can do everything besides Stardust, racers rally and Monsters.

Disney has a company where front of line CM’s care so much they cry, and managers and decision makers virtually poke fun at people being “too passionate”

Not even close to being true.

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

Not even close to being true.

The first part is definitely true. The 2nd part is debatable.

So, as an immigrant, my experience and understanding tells me America is and will always be the greatest country in the world.

Secondary to that, travelers from many other countries, particularly Japan, love the Americana.

Lastly, to those who don’t have a positive opinion of America, I’ll tell them what I used to tell my fellow Canadians who would crap on America: “Yeah, but you still go to Walt Disney World every year.”

Before the pandemic in 2020 I walked out of the magic kingdom ending my night with the kiss goodnight as I walked out, I had a strange feeling that my great times in that park were coming to an end and that the Magic Kingdom part of my life is over. I walked out set in never returning and doing new things including Disneyland. What makes me sad is I thought I left a place someone else would someday stumble upon and experience what I did but it seems to be so sterile and soulless now.

I don’t think it’s sterile and soulless. It’s still a great time.

Yep. And I hate it.

That would certainly apply to the Villains half of this project, but not their nascar cartoon. I just don't think this was a considered factor for this removal. I'd say Radiator Springs, the land, is the single best "Americana" thing of the last ?30 years worldwide out of Disney parks.

There are certainly places that kinda feel that way at MK - especially compared to Disneyland and Disneyland Paris.

Disney World as a whole is still a great place to visit though and still has some very charming areas.

Well, many Canadians and Europeans for that matter are deliberately avoiding this country right now for obvious reasons I won't get into here.

I guess so but TSI is based on a book which has a sister book that uses certain very offensive words. After Splash, I can't help but be paranoid about these things.
