MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

[Agent H]

I mean… Liberty belle could be too - this will be in the world of cars so a crazy roadside attraction would fit in.

But a stuffed and mounted Liberty Belle would be a sad sight. So I’m not sure it matters.

Stuffed? What are we stuffing it with? Beignets?

Spoiler

In all seriousness didn’t @Moth say the boat was safe?

 

[Smiley/OCD]

Liberty Belle is supposed to be an actual vessel navigating the water. Gertie is not supposed to be a real dinosaur just sitting there pond, but is a reference to California Crazy roadside architecture.

I understand that completely… I’m just saying reality could get suspended a little… it wouldn’t be the first time Mickey stretched a tad…

I don't think it'll be wholly disassembled and I still think it'll end up somewhere.

Don't know where, don't know where... But I'm sure it'll meet again, on some sunny day....

At the risk of being smacked, the boat maintenance dock road is publicly accessible. The street view car even back there (and yes, full imagery as well). If the Liberty Belle got sent back there, someone could snoop (from driving by on the road, not getting out and walking around)...

Suspension of disbelief is a reaction, not an action. Presenting adjacent objects at different scales works against the illusion because neither will read properly.

Cars is on the Trending List of Disney+ in the US

The Top Ten Movie list for Disney+ on FlixPatrol is based on the Top Ten lists of countries around the world, filtered to only movies, but that's not what you want if you're interested in popularity

The Disney Plus top 10 won’t be a straightforward most-watched list. Rather, it combines several factors, from view counts at the episode and movie level to trending popularity among recently released titles.

Disney Plus finally launches a top 10 list — here's the very first No. 1

Disney Plus has joined the top 10 streaming trend

Since Ratatouille popped up, apparently sudden increases in popularity is also counted.

Bottom Line: Cars is still popular. I think that's somewhat on-topic

What changes to the tracks system would Liberty Belles needs to run at Fantasmic in Hollywood Studios?

The LB isn’t going to replace the Steamboat Willie boat at Fantasmic. Snowball chance in hell that happens.

I don't even think the canal is big enough at Fantasmic for the Liberty Belle.

I’m all for it… but to be fair. Cars only survives cause of the merch it moves.

Aye. For Disney, the best part is that you can do literally anything with Cars characters just by making a few color or design changes.

McQueen and Mater are as customizable as Iron Man or Spider-Man suits.

Given the cost, it would probably be cheaper just to dismantle the current LB and use its salvageable parts (boiler, smokestack, paddle wheel, etc.) to build a new Liberty Belle II that actually has working rudder system and an enclosed dining room.

Then put it at a new dock at the GF and have a $200-a-head fireworks dinner cruise on Seven Seas Lagoon.

$400

Honestly, that's basically what the previous MK fireworks cruises were with Joe Fowler.

Wasn’t there news sometime ago about a new ferry boat being under construction? What ever happened with that?

To be honest I kind of like this idea. If this hypothetical new boat looks and sounds like the Liberty Belle and is still steam powered I could get behind this.

 

[Bocabear]

Liberty Belle is a completey different scale from the boat in Fantasmic... It is HUGE in comparison.... THe Fantasmic boat is just a set piece... I wish the Fantasmic boat was as beautifully detailed as the Liberty Belle or the Joe Fowler....

Yes, but without the rumbling decks and drone of the Fowler's diesel engines.

No. Not when Mobile Order counter wait is longer than the register wait. When that happens, Mobile Order is not the most efficient thing you can do in the parks.

I mobile ordered outside docking bay 7 when the line was nearly to the door. I walked in and got my food in 8 minutes.

Edit: I didn't realize I was so far behind oops.

You’re right, though. All our experiences with mobile ordering have been great!

The topic of mobile ordering was off-topic and died off.

Please don't resurrect it. All users can start a new thread to talk about it if they want. Thanks!
