Interesting, but some of these dont fit the theme all that well. I personally like polenta - but is this drive-in style food? When these black and white movies were shown, polenta was only eaten in mostly poor immigrant Italian households (before American menus made it a trendy food). Also...

It really was in the perfect location with Boardwalk, Yacht Club, Beach Club, S&D all right there - not to mention Epcot folks could walk over for some evening fun. To your point, it was often filled with DCP kids, so hopefully it still can pull them and the various flavors of disney...

It's hard to fathom why Disney kicked them out w/o any near term replacement plan - but who knows the motivation there.

A few names all on huge tours in the last year or 2 would disagree with your premise... Taylor, Sabrina, Jonas, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles,Madison Beer, Olivia Dean, Gaga, Madonna, Pink, Rodrigo, Beyonce, Dua Lipa, Robbie Williams etc etc etc ....not to mention all the boy bands and the whole...

I think we are off topic.....so what's the point? Kendrick would be a terrible fit for this attraction.

However we try to explain the why (which is debatable) the tickets are being sold so demand is there. You can't avoid Wendy's unless people are coming. Pop stars do giant tours - see Taylor, Sabrina, Jonas, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles - and smaller ones do as well - the tiktok driven stars...

Agree that it would get ridden irrespective of the band b/c it's a fun indoor coaster at a prime location in one of the world's most popular parks....However, it is thrilling ride with a name calling out Rock and Roll - so, to me, that does not call for poppy artists. The ride feel of thrills...

I agree - but an exciting new update for a ~30 year old ride as this is being billed should improve ridership, so this is more of a critique of the choice to change to The Muppets.

Depends on the metric. Album sales yes, but those trends/tastes are more trendy and fleeting (especially when you remove TS) Rock still dominates live music ticket sales by almost 2x, 30% to 17% for pop, according to Billboard (with rap and country in single digits). Comparing Aerosmith to...

I was born in '76, and visited Epcot in 83, 85, 87-92, Walking into Epcot and seeing what appeared to be the future before my eyes (in the backdrop of the more limited everyday technology back then), was as magical as anything I've experienced in the parks.... and the lines were incredibly...

While there is exactly zero chance they bring back my beloved WoM or Horizons (I am not even confident the current crop of imagineers are capable of building that level of animatronic scale in consistent working order), it is at least not out of the realm of possibility they revamp Imagination...

Keeping WoM and Horizons would have gone a long way towards keeping enough of the old Epcot alive. The other major factor was that the timing was perfect. After the more downtrodden vibe of the 70s, America was moving into the much more optimistic 80s. The park solidified a vision that human...

They don't mention the 'atrium' being closed or restricted, which would be necessary for a large revamp to return the Grand Canyon Concourse to it's former glory. I am sadly not optimistic there. All of this feels like mainly maintenance work, vs a refurb with design or theming updates - but...

I lean more towards free speech, so not sure about shutting it down - but that site is really full of miserable folks. From what I've seen, if someone tries to bring up anything remotely positive, they get ganged up on mercilessly by board veterans. It's a place where members' lives are so...

I'm not saying it was life altering , but I definitely prefer the original look without the abundance of banners (even if your banner close ups are really overemphasizing what it actually looked like when there). The fountain of nations was a major upgrade over whatever that potted plant is...
