Maybe they can sneak a smaller ride into Villain Land. A new land is treated as a whole package. They'll get gate clicks for the whole thing.
I'm assuming the land will be similar to SWGE... 1 F ticket, 1 D ticket, a lot of shops/food.
Which one is the coaster? I struggle to imagine a coaster ever reaching the scale of Rise, but I'd love to be surprised.
My guess is the coaster is the D/E ticket.
What expectations? People still line up for the C-Ticket dark rides. Their role isn’t to drive visitations but add to a day. They shouldn’t have huge waits.
It’s project cost. Walt Disney Imagineering can’t deliver a small ride on a reasonable budget that makes sense.
It’s treated like an E. Even if the execution is uneven.
I’m thinking of it more like a Monsters Unleashed type of situation. Where the villains are trying to get us and we have to escape them.
The only issue I see with that... is the land is all about the Villains/interacting with the Villains... I would be odd to run away from Jafar's spells... then exit the ride and get a drink at the The Cave of Refreshments.
One of these, but themed to Ursula?
But this is Iger's Disney World, where EVERYTHING must have a huge wait in order to sell LLs or whatever! Otherwise it's underutilized or whatever! That's why MuppetVision, Tom Sawyer Island, the Riverboat, and Dinosaur had to close!
That's not how Lightning Lane even works. You do absolutely need exciting E-ticket headliners to tie to the Individual Lightning Lanes, but the system is designed to only support a couple of those per park. Standard Lightning Lane is actually made stronger as a product if there are a lot of decent C-level attractions because the perceived value of the purchase increases when you can still make desirable selections later into the day.
It did not. It was always a clone of the Disney’s California Adventure ride with a more elaborate queue.
