Indiana Jones Land?

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Wow. Do you have any other stories from your time on the Disney Board of Directors?

It’s been 3 years and the evidence hasn’t exactly built a better case for you.
At some point…it is what it is. Nothing he said - while speculative - can be proven to be false. The appeal definitely diminished from the films …very hard to argue against that.

time will tell…and it probably won’t be kind to your Aunt Kathy.

it’s a little better now…at least. Arrow up.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

For awhile at least. I don’t think they had any plan to invest in Animal Kingdom in the immediate future after Covid hit. At least, not according to some on this site.

I have no doubt that this decision to “bring back” the puppet show is as fresh as the fisherman’s morning catch. But was it because of backlash for taking the original away? Or was it because of the increased speculation about a new land, a land that they don’t want to pay for right now?

I saw more talk of the latter on social media.

Dak isn’t getting anything…I would ask our resident soothsayer if he’s heard anything?…but I bet “no”

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

After everything thats been announced is finished, i fear nothing new in ANY of the Florida parks for 5 years. I hope we are wrong.

I’ll tag our friend and his take…which I prefer not to do unless it’s actually warranted (some people tag him 8 times a day for nonsense)

what do you think, @marni1971 ?

There's no public evidence that I'm wrong. And I can't even be wrong when my point is: We don't know what's happening behind closed corporate doors. I'm not saying KK is being applauded in whatever room she enters. I'm saying there's no public evidence that she was in straits. Just whispers. And she hasn't been fired. And may have her contract renewed.

The response to that is some sort of tortured fantasy of why Disney CEOs are keeping on someone they despise.

With zero evidence.

Well, maybe the only evidence the Disney will keep on a failed movie executive is Alan Horn's tenure.

I’ll concede that…it’s settled down.

the thing batted around is she going to be just the admin with creatives like favreau having full autonomy on their projects?

that could be a great thing. She’s an experienced admin…not a creative. “Movie Bob”

But here’s the thing: that sequel trilogy is not well regarded. The numbers…the sales…the appeal…the now longterm reactions…and the park response.

and the solo “trilogy” flopped and is a “one-ogy”

so that is written.

now what I worry is some rumblings that some genius wants to do new material for + with Ridley or boyega?

no, no, tonedeaf. They are done. They are less in demand than mark hamill 1988…and people liked those movies and watched them again…on NBC with commercials.

even the largest corporations can’t make reality.

ok…no more of this nonsense.

damn…no refrigerator drop simulator…I guess?

what do you think, @marni1971 ?

Pre covid there was budget allocated for last year and budget allocated for middle of the decade - the latter being large even for Glendale. One can only hope Chapek maintains the plans.

 

[britain]

Meh:..so the idea is that Indy land will go in using the two slots?

perhaps…but there’s the little problem that CTX is the exact same as IJA…meaning it would be a reskin at best and then they’d do a one attraction Indy add on?

…don’t think that’s gonna move the needle. Much to the chagrin of middle aged cranks like me

At the very least, it would make it a pleasant area to be in. As opposed to what’s there right now.

Here’s a scary thought: I know Shanghai’s Zootopia is based on Test Track, but could The plot and show elements be adapted for Dinosaur’s EMV?

What if THAT’s the reskin? Rather than Indy!?

I could be wrong, but I feel like that would be too much effort for them.

Zootoopia in dak is starting to get the attention that only Beastly kingdom and fire mountain got before it…

I guess thunder Mesa too?

Well that’s not likely…I think you might agree?

Do you think we will hear anything new at Destination D23 or next years D23 expo for the domestic parks?

I’m sad to say I don’t have much interest in the future of WDW anymore

1. Cupcakes
2. Willing to bet Bob Chapek isn't going to be the one speaking

Me neither. I’ll either turn to California, or hopefully, I get a chance to visit TDR.

That is so sad to hear Reminds me of a few years ago when we were getting hints to all these big projects that were going to be announced at D23 2017. It seems like a different time now sadly.

Yeah…you must have felt the same tremor in the force I did when they executed Order 66

 

[HauntedPirate]

Me neither. I’ll either turn to California, or hopefully, I get a chance to visit TDR.

For me, TDR is at the top of my list, then a return trip to CA. Personally, a return trip to DLP would rank higher on my wish list than WDW these days. Of course, I’d probably also rather visit Uni, BG, and SeaWorld before WDW at the moment.
