Impressed. I think this is going to be a Super-E ticket for a lot of us.... It looks very immersive, cute, different, high-tech.... what else could we ask for?

A ride that wasn’t shoehorned into a space it doesn’t fit, replacing a great older attraction, simply because Disney could cheaply clone the new ride in more suitable settings in other parks?

Basically, if this was opening in DL’s Toontown two years before it opens at WDW rather then two years after, a lot more people would realize how out-of-place and economy-driven it is.

Vote with your wallet. The rest of us will enjoy and appreciate.

I pretty much have, but thanks for your concern. I’ll keep reading and posting about the parks, however, because I still love much of what’s there and much of what’s gone. And you can feel free to “enjoy and appreciate,” though you might want to think twice about speaking for everyone else - they might have their own opinions.

P.S. I think this will probably be a really good ride. It’s just a shame Disney put it somewhere it doesn’t belong, considering the massive amounts of places in the Studios it would actually have fit.

but still delaying it will only make it better.

same is said for many things and rarely is it accurate in such a way...
unless you make no distinction between make it work and make it better - which is another discussion altogether.

the delay really hurts

footsteps sometimes make people phase-y, but look at the bright side
...with luck, some kids are getting three separate trips out of all this.

think of the children.

I mean doesn't making it "work" correctly make the attraction better?
Click to expand...

technically yes, but for the sake of our discussion, if the alternative is non-functional/not operating it's likely rationalization of an excuse for a missed deadline or window
... if, for example, the alternative is diminished show yet still operational and largely in-tact, precedence dictates it would open with haste soon as the stage was set.

i'll eschew the fully operational angle as that doesn't appear to suit the current narrative.

Radiator Springs Racers is one of my favorite modern Disney rides and I honestly love everything I’m hearing about this ride so far. Can’t wait.

What else are they going to compare it to? RSR is the only real big ride built in any US park with modern AAs in DECADES, except for the wonderful NRJ. Can't imagine why they didn't choose that one instead.

I know cynicism is fun BUT truth/accuracy is better. All of these have modern AAs:
1. Frozen Ever After (love the Olaf ones)
2. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
3. Guardians Mission Breakout
4. Pirates Shanghai
5. Latest version Star Tours
6. Probably more.....

Truth be know, most attractions with animatronics have newer versions now. Even bodies that aren’t full A100 or newer have compliant limbs (GMR was a good case in point)

So I watched that video presentation about MMRR and some of the details they're putting in to it. It looks pretty amazing and I can't wait to see it in person when it opens! And I'm sorry if other people don't feel this way, but I think MMRR works perfectly in the Chinese theatre. They stated in the presentaiton that not only have Mickey cartoons actually premiered in the real Graumans, but that the Chinese theater has even appeared in old classic Mickey short cartoons. I was always a fan of TGMR as a huge movie buff, and it was sad to see it go. But I think MMRR completely fits in the Chinese theatre. I understand people have their opinions on it, but what makes you right and an imagineer wrong? The whole "doesn't belong in the Chinese theatre" is a completely valid opinion to have, but that's all it is, an opinion. I'm happy and thrilled that the very first Mickey Mouse attraction will be housed in the space that is the main focal point upon entry into the park. I don't want Mickey squirled away in the back corner somewhere. Sorry if it's an unpopular opinion, but MMRR definitely fits where its going.

I don't think anybody will argue with you on fit...the issue most people have is that it took sacrificing a timeless classic to get here. There wasn't really a valid reason to replace GMR when MMRR could have also been built.

Classic, yes. Timeless, def not. I rode in 2016. My fond childhood memories are much better than what I got then. And I'm not saying all classic stuff should go to make way for new. Not in the least. I would love it if TGMR had stayed and been refurbed. But this is the route they have chosen to take, and again I don't think its a bad decision. If it's one you don't like that's fine. But I genuinely don't think it's wrong. And I've seen many comments with people saying it doesn't belong in the Chinese theatre. Look, I'm in no way a "I love everything Disney gives me no matter what" kinda person, but we as people are different enough to not like the same things, and that's totally cool. I dislike when people make declarations though that their opinion is the true fact and that they alone know whats right and wrong with the parks. I like discussion. Have a conversation. The whole "It doesn't belong" is just weak sauce IMHO. And maybe I'm the one whose wrong. But I'll always state that it's simply this individuals opinion
