@PREMiERdrum any possible extra light to shed on potential ideas being tossed around for this? I would hope a "band-aid - just change stuff around with what's there" approach isn't the popular one with WDI
I think so far of all the "rumored to most likely happen" things in MK, I'm most excited about the Moana attraction in AL. for one AL needed a little something extra to really fill out that land. Second, Moana is a great IP and has some of the most beautiful animated imagery seen in any Disney...
Who is saying they NEED to put a new hit IP in the parks? If the attraction is good the IP shouldn't greatly affect it. And if the attraction is bad will an amazing IP make it better?
20K Under the Sea never seemed dated to me when I was a kid, even though I had never seen the movie.
Is Mystic...
This attraction is looking great!Might be in the world in August which seems reasonable that it will have opened and very much would love to check it out.
It's Mexican themed because (if all the rumors are true) they chose Coco as the IP to be the focus of that section, not the other way around. No one was put in a box. As with all of these large scale projects there are many ideas and concepts that get developed and then eventually one gets...
Who is saying it needs to be a desert? No one here with any credibility has indicated that what goes beyond big thunder needs to be a desert theme.
Coco seems to be the way the winds are blowing for phase 1 beyond, and I think it would transition very nicely from big thunder to a Mexican themed...
Aside from what seems to be fairly locked in as far as AK and MK AL & BBTP1, my speculations/wishes are:
-Confirm Villians for BBTP2
-Confirm some version of Cars Land for DHS
-Blue Sky surprise of Imagination with Dreamfinder included
-Blue Sky surprise of WoL re-do (no clue on theme)
Dear WDW Executives who lurk on these boards. Do not get scared of "Beyond Phase II" and please put villains land in there and do it right. People will love RSR in DHS! All of this will print money for you long term.
Thank you
Villians in MK phase 2 should NOT be avoided. Also all this talk that it would be scary for little kids, why is this an assumption? I would never expect Disney to build a villians land that would be truly dark and scary, but that fun version of the villains we see like in the Hocus Pus show...
