What is the “vision,” the unifying principles, of the Magic Kingdom that is currently being built? What gives it coherence?
Like on the scale of the Seas with Nemo and Friends?
You seem to be confused about the difference between “pavilion,” the organizing principle for the Worlds-Fair -inspired EPCOT, and “land.”
I have been opposed to entire IP-based EPCOT Pavilions since day one. Though I will now admit Inside Out might be the only way to revive Wonders Of Life.
No need to insult the guy.
I agree, but would also ask what exactly are the new parameters they are establishing?
Clarification is not an insult.
That's from customers scrambling to collect their own souvenir bottle of "Water from the Rivers of America" before it's too late!
It's Cars. Of course there will be a store!
Dude, I was just asking you to clarify whether your land to replace Wonders of Life was on the same scale as the Seas Pavilion since that's a Single-IP pavilion of roughly the same size. There was no need to be so rude to somebody bothering to participate in your discussion. Just wanted the clarification, especially as Epcot doesn't have distinct lands, but pavilions within neighbourhoods.
Your last sentence was the entire point.
Cars is definitely fading. I don’t take pleasure in that since it was something near and dear to me that I grew up with. I’d argue most of the franchises Disney is currently promoting are either fading or never had longevity to begin with. Star Wars is a legacy brand, but they keep promoting the new stuff which isn’t what the fans care about. MCU had its time in the sun; the only Marvel brand that will outlast us all is Spider-Man. Frozen is still popular but not like it was in the 2010s.
I’d honestly prefer if it was a little less realistic and more stylized. Big Thunder isn’t exactly realistic, even if it’s inspired by reality. TBA isn’t “realistic” in that no bayou in the world looks like a mound of grass clippings, but the aesthetic of the ride itself definitely went for a more minimalistic realism angle and I think that was for the worse. Really, the main problem with Piston Peak (aside from losing the beautiful river) isn’t that the cars have eyes…it’s that there will be motorized vehicles at all. If it was instead an animatronic horse and wagon ride, or a canoe rapids ride, I feel as if there would be a lot less complaints. Frontierland would still be sticking within an identifiable time period.
Using the same pun twice in a sentence is verrrry cringey. Weak effort.
It'd be somewhat more forgiving in a longer sentence where it serves as an echo or callback but in such a short sentence it's... moronic. What's worse, it indicates nothing. A pointless sign. Weak, indeed.
