He never mentioned WDW. The headline on this website is misleading and overblown. It was just a quick offhand mention about the idea and nothing more.

This is a mathematically correct statement.

Obviously GM wouldn’t want them to build Radiator Springs Racers at WDW because it would just naturally lessen the popularity of Test Track, even if Test Track is a better ride. Disney isn’t going to bite the hand that feeds them. If they build RSR, they risk losing the sponsorship and having...

Well, good for you, you seem happy and healthy.

There’s no chance they build Radiator Springs Racers on the heels of signing a new contract with GM.

That’s a you problem.

I personally feel that Test Track should be a part of World Celebration for the following reasons: - It doesn’t fit with the spaciness of Guardians and Mission Space well. - It’s very blue, the color of World Celebration! (though that might change) - It would make the three “neighborhoods”...

Unlike any other sponsor in Epcot’s history, they really get to soak you in a living breathing commercial for what they’re selling. Nothing else like it exists, and to a company like GM, I’m sure that’s absolutely worth the $10+ million per year they pay. Mercedes-Benz had their name on two NFL...

And this makes them even more out of touch than I expected!

Yeah, I mean to that point, you can ride everything in Epcot without Genie+ by noon and then be kind of bored. With DHS I’m sure the average visitor is lucky if they’re able ride everything by the end of the day even with Genie+. Both are different problems, but one makes Disney more money, I...

Well both didn’t look like they were adding anything substantial, that’s how they’re most similar. Otherwise pretty much every single ounce of it, except maybe the circular shape of what’s presumably the festival center, is different. No hedge maze, fountains, heavy landscaping, pod shaped...

Yes, I do. That’s no doubt that was a nice building for a peaceful omnimover in the 80s. The current one has no indented entryway, much more grown-in landscaping, and most of all, a track with zooming cars that wraps around it! The canopy made sense for the original Test Track for multiple reasons.

Oh okay. The first concept art was just total bull. This swimming pool looked intriguing though!

It’s probably no uglier than the tuna can it’s blocking the view of. While the industrial look worked especially well with the original Test Track, the whole thing still makes for a good entry way and shade structure. Who knows what’ll happen for version 3 but I hope it stays.

No. Where do you see a new fountain?

It’s frustrating that they seem interested in talking about improvements to every park except the one they kind of botched in the late 2010s, Hollywood Studios. Every standby line in the park is often 1 to 3 hours except for Star Tours. I can’t even imagine how bad it would’ve been if Galaxy’s...

Above all things I think this was the biggest problem with the whole plan. Every little kid believes Cinderella lives in the castle, not in some random house behind the castle. The whole thing was so unbelievably bad.

Aside from just how utterly condescending this sounds, there’s no blaming regular people on this. Parks like Six Flags, Cedar Point, etc. add a new major attraction every few years. If Disney can’t afford to add more than one thing per decade, as they’re losing significant market share to...

While that would’ve been good, and Disney does often let things age poorly (Imagination looks like it’s stuck in the early 2000s), I doubt refreshing the animation would’ve been so much less expensive than a complete replacement. There’s just no good financial argument for spending the money on...

And is that a problem? Are you suggesting they should’ve put the money into creating an even better It’s Tough to Be a Bug instead? I feel like you have to know which one makes business sense…
