MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

[Incomudro]

This has nothing to do with being jammed with rides. That wasn’t the point.

Even in 1971 they would have removed attractions if they weren’t popular enough to justify keeping them.

The point you were replying to was that Disney world exists to make money. Always has and always will. How has and will continue to evolve.

Disney back in the day recognized that maximization all there was to the parks.
That's why when you entered Disney Land or World, you got an experience outside any you had ever had before.
There were exciting things, and there were calm and relaxing aesthetics as well.

And you still do and there still are…

They absolutely should have ditched the theme for Frontierland but it seems they wanted to try to preserve some of their history.

What theme should they have gone with?

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

Outside of boards like these the vast majority of people I know are very excited about this change.

I mean…. You seem pretty enthusiastic about the change so they may be feeding off of that. Many of my friends in the steam train and antique vehicle community (of all ages) are sad.

But that of course misses the point…. Ideally Disney parks have something for everyone. Ragtime piano and steam trains for me…. And Winnie the Pooh and princesses for others!

 

[MisterPenguin]

RoA should have been replaced with two dozen flat rides.

And cabanas.

 

[Chi84]

And you still do and there still are…

There really are. The only thing that I truly dislike are the paid fast passes.

It's almost like maybe, people cared about Tom Sawyer and Davy Crocket 50 years ago and don't anymore.

I guess we go to every other Disney castle park that has some version of the river instead?

Well, as I said before, enthusiastic is too strong ... But maybe - though often just share without knowing my thoughts or when I just tell them what is happening they say "oh, so nothing of consequence lost"

Personally I think they are underselling it

But I do think for a majority of guests this change will be a net positive

The majority for sure wants parades, fireworks and characters. And dole whips! Haha.

That’s the true common ground where the majority is clear.

Types of attractions are all over the map - “majority” is tricky to define. But I do expect the cars ride to be popular, yes.

At this point, I would just replace Stich with... Stitch? and make it a better show. First off, scrap the chilli dogs, if you need a smell make it bubblegum as a funny nod to how people said they don't sell gum in the parks for a reason.

Honestly, if they're gonna close the Laugh Floor what with Monstropolis being added to Hollywood Studios, maybe they could put a clone of the "Living Character" Stitch show they have in Tokyo, Paris and Hong Kong in that theater.

As for the Stitch's Great Escape space... I have no idea. Elio's underperforming so I doubt it's gonna be THAT.

The Coco ride seemed cool.

Wasn't it gonna be another Soarin'?

 

[mattpeto]

The Coco ride seemed cool.

I hope we get it.

Not the boat ride at DCA (which looks lovely), but the Soarin’ type.

They did remove the Swan boats after operating for just 8 years.

 

[FettFan]

Random Adventuresland

 

[CoastalElite64]

This is satire correct? Who would be “outraged” by coco? Unless you are getting into politics?

It's not politics I think. Some park superfans just have a very specific view of what Frontierland should be in both time and place. I was surprised at how common that sentiment was.

Super fans would rather have coco than cars - im certain of that.

The first plans I saw to remove the island and riverboat were created while Eisner was still CEO. Long before anyone planned to monetize LL.

Intercot, micechat or screamscape?

 

[peter11435]

Intercot, micechat or screamscape?

None of those. These plans were never leaked.

Those were the days!!!!!!!

I’m just teasing you…

But how would a “non-insider” like yourself pick up on sealed secrets?

Not entirely sure of that…to be honest
