I really need some of you to step outside of the Disney fan bubble (and the Star Wars one too if necessary) and seriously ask yourself if most of the folks who’re moving through these parks are really, truly stopping to think to themselves “gosh I wish Darth Vader was here!” The answer is no...

I’m never gonna take any of you all giving Disney hell for seemingly not understanding what the theme of their parks are anymore when all this thread has done is demonstrate that a lot of you don’t either.

I think the key difference between Universal and Disney though is that the most historically popular attractions they have are based on IP that doesn’t actually belong to them with the exception of Jurassic Park. That does change the dynamics of Universal’s parks in a way that might not be...

I think you’re greatly overestimating how much thought the average person is really putting into Star Wars, especially in a theme park sense. And I say thar as a born and raised die hard fan of the franchise. They just want to ride Rise of the Resistance.

Are you making the claim that Galaxy’s Edge has not interested casual guests?

I don’t know man, if you have to divorce an attraction from it’s context and acknowledged setting to make it a thematic fit, then it isn’t a thematic fit. One can’t wave away the fact that both of them don’t really fit into Frontierland simply because one may like one ride better than the other...

Just started thinking about the “what if they’re adding a spinner here so they can get rid of the flying carpets” and started kicking my feet and giggling

You’re very right, and I actually think that plays into them trying so hard to get us into their parks. It’s well known this generation is less inclined to build a family, so they need to make sure they’re pulling those that have. They also know that this generation is a bit more inclined to...

Sorry haha! If it makes you feel better, I’ve been having a bit of a personal crisis since turning 25 and moving to New York. I don’t generally worry about aging but this is the first time in my life that I actually feel the change that comes with it.

This is pedantic but: Slinky isn’t a kiddie coaster. It’s a family coaster. Different ride category.

I think you hit the nail on the head here. What a lot of people I think are perceiving as people asking for a high intensity thrill coaster along the lines of VelociCoaster, is I think in realott a lot of people actually asking for a coaster that just has a sense of scale and idea to it. You...

May I ask why it wasted potential? An anchor attraction full of a bunch of different villains that have nothing to do with each other. It sounds like potential for a gigantic mess of an attraction.

To those asking why ENG, i’m going to rewrite the same thing I said when they announced Monstropolis: They are actively trying to court Gen Z. Emperor’s New Groove is incredibly popular with Gen Z and the Yzma coaster is a popular idea as a result. I would also say it’s notable for being one...

I mean other than save the company from getting bought out and stripped for parts, making Hong Kong Disneyland an actually worthwhile park to visit, turning DCA into a place people may actually wanna go to, and repairing strained relationships with other creative entities, yeah I guess not.

Careful or you’ll get the folks who think they know what’s REALLY going on on your tail for not listening to them instead of the proven trusted sources we have
