LOL. No. If it has any sort of screen "fans" will trash it, regardless of whether it compliments the ride or not.

Of course .... but a lot of you trash things before experiencing it
Here's a novel concept .... you can hate they removed the GMR but still like the replacement
I think almost all of us would agree it should have been a new build and GMR should have been refurbed. But here we are. (And if folks don't find a reason to hate it for that one alone, they trash the animation style, which is their right, I get it's personal preference)From what little's been said, this should be an impressive ride. But to each their own
Just sort of funny in this case you're the one "waiting and seeing" when you just knocked that approach .... maybe we're all just a tad hypocritical at times

Perhaps a new build for MMRR didn't fit anywhere into the long-term plans for HS?

For what it's worth I think most don't mind screens
Used properly they're not really all that bad
Certain rides had proven to use them quite effectively
Kind of like how Navi River Journey blends them into the scenes

I think you assume too much from current leadership.

Maybe not. However it seems the decision to close GMR was mainly a financial one. One that is now biting them in their backside, as they realise that they still need more in the park after SW:GE opens.

I've never been to HS at anything near capacity, and I have no idea what SW:GE opening will be like. But I know I've heard complaints that there isn't enough to do at HS. HS has an abundance of shows and some people don't care for shows. Or won't so more than 1 a day. That's an issue when you have Indy, Muppets, BatB, Mermaid, Lightning, and Frozen all running in a small park. Not to mention the Disney Jr dance party, Incredible dance party, Jedi training, etc. I like shows and find HS a more relaxing park day because I can enjoy that entertainment. Who knows what it will be like post-Star Wars.

I was fortunate enough to see the blueprints for the entire attraction tonight, and some plot details will be leaking soon. It looks pretty neat to me, and I can answer any questions you guys happen to have related to the floorplan

Well...I guess I’ll ask a question what I’m most interested in how does the preshow work exactly? Is the “going in the movie screen” effect achieved like the magic mirror over in enchanted tales with Belle? How does the load/unload work with this since it’s in the “cartoon world”

The blueprints aren’t really clear on that. The old clip show theatre from GMR is split into two, with a corridor on the right side directing the switchbacks into one of the two of them. Show doors open from the theatres into the old GMR load area which now has a multitude of switchbacks on the platform instead of the long walk to the moving stages. There also looks to be a theatre at unload based on the plans, (located roughly where the old maintenance spur used to be) which is giving me serious Norway movie vibes lol

I’m thinking after you have helped Mickey and Minnie their has to be a cool effect going back to the real world via another movie screen (man this is giving me Epic Mickey vibes which is a good thing)...big fan they went the extra mile on the continuity. I’m very interested on the plot what can you tell us regarding that? Was the attractions magazine article from a while back on point? Or has it been changed since then? I’m sure you’ll have more details even if that was the actual plot.

It's pretty much exactly what Attractions Magazine said. In fact, I can provide the names of each show scene.
Load
Train Barn
Park
Tunnel Entrance
Trouble in the Tunnel
Stampede
Carnival Chaos
Twister
Tropical Torrent
Over the Falls
Culvert
Big City Snarl
Dance Studio Detour
EDIT: “Factory Frenzy” goes here, forgot to add it originally
Turnback Alley
Picnic in the Park
Unload
Exit Theatre
...Hopefully that's not classified details or anything, oops

Because you find it bad or horrible doesn't mean everyone else does. We all like what we like and have favorites. Maybe it's just not for you? Because you find it horrible doesn't mean it should be ripped out. Why don't any of you who want classics ripped out ever consider, you know, wanting them updated to modern standards instead?

It’s so funny becuase almost all these scenes sound like actual cartoons:
“Mickey and Minnie in Big City Snarl”
“Mickey and Minnie in Carnival Chaos”
Also...if attractions magazine shared them your probably not showing off classified stuff and the like.
Very excited for the attraction, cannot wait they really need to break the silence though...we need tangible something out of Disney’s mouth. That’s the only thing that worries me but we know they are confident in the attraction.
More questions: Waterfall is a show scene I hear is their any kind of controlled descent in the attraction? Like a semi drop? Based on what you have seen how long do you think this attraction would last?
Another question: Is the unload in a different place then the load? Can’t imagine you would see the finale as you are loading.
PS: Sorry for all the questions.

The unload is toward where the old clip show theatre was.
You unload in the city park. Don’t get it confused with the train barn

Just realized I referred to two different things as the clip show theatre. I hope it was clear what I meant, but just in case, the clip show theatre in the queue was split into two, the old GMR finale theatre is now unload. Keep in mind these are relative locations, as GMR is pretty much entirely gone as far as infrastructure goes.

Vehicles unload in a city park, then need to return to a train barn? Here’s to hoping we get a nod to Walt...
