Space Mountain 2.0 is next. Aside from that, I haven't heard any rumors for what's after that, aside from the speculation about an eventual Splash Mountain replacement. There has been sightline testing balloons spotted behind Rivers of America in the past.

Thanks for this informative post. I've ridden Tokyo's Snow White many, many times and never knew that (and also spent a lot of time sitting in the mines as the ride always backs up there).

This is fascinating in that speaks a lot to Japan as a country in general. A lot of things about Japan are great, but the country has been almost totally stagnant since the bubble burst in the ‘90s and there is deep resistance to change and modernization. There are many places in Japan...

Undeniable though that there is an intense Disney fandom among young Japanese women, and the park’s internals show that. But anyway I’m getting this thread too off topic.

Yikes, I think that is the most generic name I've ever seen for a major theme park. My immediate thought was it sounded like something ChatGPT would come up with.

Don't want to get this thread too off topic, but you're right. TDR probably got hit the worst from the pandemic out of all of the non-China resorts. There are quite a few big things like entertainment and walkthrough attractions that have still never returned. Not to mention that APs were...

One of the things I've learned from the theme park community is that everyone thinks their home resort is the one getting neglected and treated unfairly. Folks on the WDW side of the forum have been complaining for years about "crumbling, abandoned WDW" despite getting billions worth of new...

I think the central question which exposes the flimsiness of DHS's theme though is: what WDW park can NOT be described as "riding the movies" these days? One of the best paths they could take to give DHS a unique identity is to make it the "non-Disney IP park". Marvel, Lucasfilm, 21st Century...

Villians Land is such a great idea which fans have been speculating about for decades, but I have little confidence that they will actually do it justice. They'd probably make it super lame somehow. If Villians are really going to DHS then my guess is it would be because they're trying to make...

Disney doesn't care anymore whether an IP fits a park theme or not. They have a mandate to include IP in all new builds. I don't think it's anymore complicated than that.

It reminds me a lot of the AAs from Tokyo's BatB ride, especially the last scene.

Not sure if it should be worrying that nothing has been seen or said of the America Sings figures yet.

I believe the entire old building is getting demolished.

The "Walt's original theme park"quote seems to me to be referring to the resort area generally, not Disneyland Park. My guess is that this is going to go in the DL Forward plot. But what do I know.
