Fair enough!

I think it looks good. I honestly think the Muppets are a good fit for RnRC and I'm glad they'll still have a presence at DHS. I'm obviously sad about MV3D but I think there's an opportunity for Muppetizing this area further too.

I specifically tried to draw the POTC convo to a close and asked a construction question. It hasn't gotten a clear answer, but I did try to end that. So yeah, any clue what's going on directly behind the Mansion queue in the newest plans?

There's room for one more...

Which is what I was getting at to begin with! :) Now, with this all out of the way, I apologize for derailing the thread into Pirates. My comment will now return to the actual theme of the thread; please let's all the rest of us do so too--> What exactly is going on right behind the Haunted...

Hey, that's fair. I didn't mean to imply Marc was trying to kibosh Pirates. I was merely saying he cut out the slower-paced atmospheric sections. I think we both agree and my phrasing was poor. Point taken re: BTMRR. I really don't want to imply that Tony Baxter did anything malicious. I know a...

Yeah, that's the story Imagineering tells, anyways.

It was an afterthought, if I'm reading you correctly. If you want my summary of someone else's research of the hearsay and such: WED had no intention of putting Pirates into WDW initially. Florida was near the Caribbean; it wasn't really novel for where WDW is. They were going to build Western...

You're totally right. Thank you for clarifying that; good point. Oh I wasn't talking about his work even, I just meant the reverence he had for Imagineering. I don't see a lot of his footprint on the parks tbh, outside of the Pixarification mentioned above. It appears my initial comment got...

That's fair. My thought is that the HBG was intended as the punchline of the attic; the pacing builds up to it. It is unfortunate that it prevents viewers from takign in the graveyard more effectively.

Is the Long Forgotten Thread no longer alive? I still read the Long Forgotten blog regularly and figured the thread was active.

More or less where he is in DL, if I'm not mistaken. I'm curious about your issue with the DL placement but we can message about it if you want. It's too off-topic for this thread

Not saying I support this. I'm saying Disney has done baffling things lately. Yes, I agree the new animatronic looks good and behaves believably.

Yeah, I'd say MK Tomorrowland is too sparse. Two great rollercoasters but there's not much to do between. TL is just a poorly themed path on the way to Space Mountain. I've always felt like the plot beyond Pirates would be great for an archeology-themed rollercoaster and maybe a reskin of...

Not entirely wrong. The original DL was really two things: 1) An almost full-scale recreation of Walt's childhood and 2) An immersive extension of Disney's products at the time. They had their animated films in Fantasyland; True-Life Adventures in Adventureland; Davy Crockett, Tom Sawyer etc. in...
