Yup. One and done. And not just for attractions. For dining experiences. They don’t want repeat guests I guess. Space 220, geo82, cake bake, even beak and barrel, they’re all one and done for a lot of people. Once you’ve seen it you’ve seen it. The food/ drink is not excellent enough to warrant repeat visits given the prices. IMO anyway.
At least Minion Mayhem's seats move with the action on the screen... (I would classify MM as a ride)
To be fair, we took both my daughter and niece to this when they were 3. It was a mistake to take my niece, 100%. But that was our fault (well, her mother's fault..lol) and not on Disney.
1998 has nothing to do with a quality attraction. Thats also the year og imagination closed to be replaced with corporate slop on a shoestring budget.
Not to mention, when Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management opened, so yeah, you’re def right on that. I think it’s a combination of corporate demands, who’s been put in charge of it, budget and what the imagineers are capable of doing with said project alongside the corporate demands & budget.1998 has nothing to do with a quality attraction.

Oh yeah, btw, something I thought I might point out about both Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management & Journey Into >Your Imagination/With Figment. Oddly similar signage design philosophy. Lol :1998 has nothing to do with a quality attraction. Thats also the year og imagination closed to be replaced with corporate slop on a shoestring budget.
Antonio's not even a prominent character in the movie (he's important for, what, two scenes?) and I'm not sure how well Antonio merchandise sells. I'd be shocked if he's actually the main character of the attraction.
I don't think Runaway Railway would've fit in Fantasyland. It feels too "modern", if that makes any sense.
To be fair, the only way I can think of that they could've made this attraction as scary as It's Tough to Be a Bug is if Bellwether used the Night Howlers on the predators again, and that would've just made it a bigger rehash of the movie.
They something good and they need it fast. This show is a flop and people are being vocal about it.
The only way Disney sees this as a flop is if guests don’t flock to it and there’s no improvement over the original show. They don’t care what the message boards and websites say. They invited the influencers to see it first to ensure they’d get positive reviews out there right away.
Cars Land has been a want back east since it opened at DCA (particularly at DHS), but DCA successfully resisted. The MK version is a way to get around it (even if, IMO, the original would fit wonderfully where RNRC is and be way less impactful on guest experience). Long before the current WDI regime, and certainly a want in the upper levels of WDW park management, at least at DHS - no idea how MK got it in the end, but that's something I'm sure we'll learn with time.
Films have almost always been designed for as wide of an audience as possible (going all the way back to DL's and the Expos' films). This is certainly designed for a much smaller audience (families with young children), probably to address the fact that there isn't much for the young set to do at AK ride/show wise. Not a fan, but I can see the point if it was executed well enough - the problem was that it wasn't.
I’m hearing this a lot but I’d argue DAK is just flat out lacking attractions period, not just for the younger set. Of what’s left, only three current attractions have a height requirement, making DAK far more family friendly than DHS for example. And you can argue that shows like this should also be accessible to older guests who also can’t/won’t ride the thrill rides.
It's Tough to Be a Bug was terrifying. My family did it once, and that was enough for us. I think it's a good chunk of the reason why I'm afraid of bugs.
wut?
