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

[SteamboatJoe]

@lentesta is this list laid out anywhere in a format like this? Curious as to what #s 2-9 are and how the attractions rank..

Probably meet and greets, cupcakes, and upcharge events.

Swiss Family Treehouse is still a thing and I don't even know what Casey Jr's Splash and Soak Station is.

Until I hear someone like marni1971 start reporting the rumor as having some basis in fact, I'm not going to worry about it coming from the site that shall not be named. It's Disney click bait. Sadly his site's "news" comes up on news aggrigators and gets spread like gospel. I suppose it gets him his clicks and $$.

Casey's is a splash pad next to a bathroom which sounds really unsanitary when you say it out loud.

What's next People Mover, this would not be good

When it comes to Tikis vs Bears, I guess it comes down to I would rather be on a tropical island than in the trailer park...

Setting has a lot to do with ratings, as well...Bears feels like a show, but the Birds feel like an experience. The entire tiki building is part of the show and just feels more immersive than the bears. I know from my family that the bears is something they tolerate for my sake, but they actively want to see the Birds and CoP.

It amazes me that after all these years some forum users can't see more than a step down the road.

But then most people drive that way so I shouldn't be suprised.

If I had to choose one of Carousel/Tiki/Bears to lose I’d choose Bears (until reminded only Tiki still exists in Land and then I’d change my mind).

They need to cool it with Toy Story. The movies are incredible but it’s so oversaturated as an IP I can barely stand it anymore. I like Astro Blasters and Mania but I sometimes feel like Toy Story is included more often than Mickey and the Fab Five are around the park. I feel about Toy Story what it seems a lot of people felt about Frozen.

Often Martin's silence says more than not.

Whatever happened to @WDW1974 's rumor about Moana taking over Tiki Room? Thankfully that went away.

Also I just don't see how changing a beloved/classic attraction 27 months before the 50th anniversary of the resort would be a good idea.

If anything, they should be sprucing up and showcasing the park's opening day attractions.

He hasn’t been silent, he’s said that he has heard nothing about this rumour.

Just because this may be true (25/75) it wouldn't mean the attraction would not be reutilized elsewhere or return later.

There is also the chance Frontierland, or something akin to the land, will get built on the pad beyond Big Thunder. And then Frontierland reimagined. (Yes please).

Nothing I know of. I know of a proposed content update for the 50th but that’s all.

Not yet. I can’t say it’s not true, just that I haven’t heard of it myself.

CBJ attracts under half of park attendees. The percentage is in the high 30s. But over half of those who do attend rate it as excellent. And like I said I know of proposals for a refresh for the 50th. But not a wholesale IP rebuild.

 

[Disney Dad 3000]

While I don't wish this rumor to be true, could totally see it happening, if nothing else to warrant adding it as a Fastpass attraction.

If it didn't mean getting rid of CBJ, and there wasn't already a land for this IP and another attraction in the same park, I'd be fine with it.

 

[MadTeacup]

Why is everything old "terrifying" these days?

Speaking as someone who works closely with the meet and greet CBJ characters, they are most certainly terrifying. In the show, Wendell is loveable and looks rather cuddly. In the park, his toothy grin scares away half the kids he tries to hug. Old is not always terrifying. Those particular characters outside of the show are.

Under Chapek, I wouldn't trust them with handling napkins.

You mean the generic brown napkins that are more timeless, more relevant and more Disney? Not his initial call but he certainly could bring the printed ones.

I missed that. Was that today?

 

[RSoxNo1]

I think it would be a good attraction. However, add it somewhere else in Frontierland. Add it for more capacity.

How about next to the restaurant they're building in Toy Story Land as an addition to a park in desperate need of additions? Hell, replace Voyage of the Little Mermaid.
