Rumor Country Bear Jamboree to be Replaced by Toy Story Show?

[SteamboatJoe]

Exactly. Let's put the pitchforks down until a good source confirms this is a thing.

Maelstrom, Great Movie Ride, and Universe of Energy.

With the way they manage to pack in attractions and DL and DCA this is hardly necessary. I just hope that the real intent is a stage show as a TSL expansion and that something got lost in translation. If maintenance is an issue I'd much rather new Bears than Toy Story now on both sides of MK.

 

[JustInTime]

I think you'll enjoy it. In a vacuum, it's a good attraction. It just seems more like a Universal attraction. It also clashes with it's surroundings.

Yep. That’s my big issue. It doesn’t fit.

Sorry for the drift, guys!

I won't attack anyone with it yet, but I'm going to make sure it's nice and sharp, just in case.

Firstly, after the land and seas rumor blew up and even after Disney said the rumor isn’t true he still insists it is...my point is any validity they had from MMRR or the spine project is gone. That being said for argument sake let’s say this is true what do I think? Apologies in advance to country bear fans.

The country bear jamboree at least for me is a great part of Disney history but I totally understand why it would be on the chopping block. Before, country bear fans come out in full force hear me out. For me, I’m not really that fond of the jamboree yes it is a part of Disney history and I understand that, however, I really don’t find the show that compelling in its current form. Could it be updated (kinda like carousel is rumored to be) sure, but I’d actually prefer a show redo. If it really is woody’s roundup granted it’s done right I’d be fine with it. Maybe we could even find out what did happen in that last episode...yes toy story has plenty of representation but if done right could be great.

I think its a great idea...
As something new. I think an animatronic toy story show would be amazing (especially if based on the tv show woodys roundup)
But it shouldn't replace anything. Lets be honest we need more stuff to spread out crowds, and removing things to replace with new things that will draw crowds doesn't help.

 

[SteamboatJoe]

The source can't be trusted...

But I can see this happening. It's becoming a relic and the walk around bears are kinda terrifying.

Now on the subject of Woody's Round Up. If Woody is so self aware that he is a toy. How come he has no memory of life before Andy or being around in the 50s?

Why is everything old "terrifying" these days?

I always assumed each toy had its own set of memories. So there is a possibility that he was an unopened collectible that was passed down to Andy at some point.

Yes! I hate attaching fear to inanimate objects that really aren’t scary. Thank you for saying this.

The walk-around bears are the best part of frontierland and this is a hill I will die on.

Maelstrom, Great Movie Ride, and Universe of Energy.

And? That site can spout as much as they want. I'll wait for reliable insiders here to confirm it.

Now, it wouldn't surprise me if it were real though. Of course we need another Toy Story attraction stuck someplace. We obviously need one in Epcot and AK too.

While I don't think this "rumor" is true, I do think that CBJ needs an major update or it needs to go.

CBJ has comedic value because it poked fun at country music at the time. These references are dated and don't connect with audiences as much anymore. While "shows" are a general turn off to some people, it also doesn't help that this concept has been more mass produced in Chuck E Cheeses / Showbiz Pizza in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. The pop culture references in TV and music often make fun of it or it's hokiness. Even the official movie was terrible in the 00s.

So it would be a loss, but it's probably time. Now if they wanted to breath new life, why not have the bears bring us a new show poking fun at modern country music of today. It too would eventually become dated like Food Rocks did, but give it more life for a bit longer.

 

[SteamboatJoe]

There are two types of people. Those who like CBJ and those who are wrong. It could easily be updated to modern tastes.

Move CBJ to a permanent home at Fort Wilderness and I'm OK with this.

It's such an overused trope.

 

[Kamikaze]

I think you answered your own question. They are a business. They step back and make cuts they feel is necessary. As long as money is involved, that will unfortunately always happen.

Obviously, but if they built the original plans, those 'incredible' things would be plussed.

This would be an acceptable alternative.

The sad thing is a show like this could have been a part of TSL if the Woody's Roundup area didn't get budget cut...

Fingers crossed this isn't true.

 

[The Pho]

Especially with it being Walt’s last Project and an opening day attraction.

Unfortunately Walt isn’t Disney enough for Chapek.

We can “what if” all day. Rarely do original plans get fully realized. There is almost always something cut. That’s just the sad world we live in. Woody’s Roundup should be a fun replacement if nothing else. It’s the only thing I think is suitable if they insist on replacing it.
