MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

Couldn’t remember the timeline - I’ve read Kevin’s book and even met him! Was there a full IP land before that? I guess bugs land technically?

Mermaid Lagoon at Tokyo DisneySEA.

Six Flags and WDW are on two different levels.

Now, if you said Cedar Point, I would agree.

If they ruin Cedar Point and Kings Island, Sux Flags better count their days

Reminding us of this is unecesary cruelty

You also could kind of argue Mickey's Toon town in 1993...

Nearly had Muppets Studios as its own land but we know how that turned out.
Toy Story Playland at DLP opened 2010 around the same time as Wizarding World, which kind of shows the IP only lands we could have ended up with

It is also incredibly doable to block that sound out. I lived by an interstate for years and the county did a wonderful job making sure we never heard it, even outside in our yard. If little old Knoxville can do it, Disney can do it.

GO VOLS!!!

So how intrusive will those car sounds be in the line for HM, walking to Country Bears, or riding along the outdoor bend on Splash?

They are pretty good with soundscapes I find. I definitely visually notice Dumbo squatting in front of HM in Tokyo, but I don’t think I notice the soundscape.

The parade is going to be the disruptive one for all those attractions.

Kind of makes you wonder what the parks would look like today if it hadn't been for Wizarding World.

ideally, the current (or not-so-distant-past) state of the parks should be (or should've been) an objective step up from the late Eisner era - less focus on trying to be like Universal and ride Harry Potter's coattails (naturally), more willingness to take risks and use more than what the higher-ups decree is the "flavor of the day" (like lesser-known IPs or shock! horror! more original Parks characters), a higher percentage of legitimately worthwhile additions, reasonable amounts of money being spent on both those legitimately worthwhile additions and desperately needed refreshes instead of being overindulgently blown on phoned-in "filler" attractions and unnecessary land overlays, no overcomplicated crowd management games...

take folks like Rasulo (who never really cared about the parks and would've gladly taken multiple glorified meet-and-greets over a world-class trip-defining E-ticket - does that sound at all familiar?) and that self-crippling "IP mandate" out of the picture, and we would be in a brighter spot than we're in currently. over the past two-and-a-half decades, the Asian resorts (Tokyo especially) have each received or come with the types of experiences that the domestic parks should've been getting too over that same period

Putting Rasulo in charge of parks made as much sense as it would to give me creative control over a video game company.
