    Possible Frontierland expansion

    I'd take Miles From Tomorrowland over Laugh Floor and Stitch. At least it actually is set in Tomorrowland :p you're right that adding a preschool-skewing attraction is NOT what MK needs... we already have a whole land dedicated to the stroller brigade. But GotG and WALL-E, possibly BH6, are...

    Universal vs. Disney

    That's the problem. By 2020/2021, Universal Orlando will have had 7 years to improve their parks, open up their water-park, open up 2-3 more hotels, expand their current hotels, finish overhauling CityWalk, build a new entertainment complex on the WnW plot, and start gearing up for a 3rd gate...

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    A people-eating family dark ride... an overhaul of Country Bears... new Streetmosphere... the reopening of Golden Horseshoe... renovations of Splash/Big Thunder... reworked guest paths to get rid of the bottleneck and remove parade congestion... vastly increased max capacity... Just about...

    Fun With Numbers: MK Maingate Blackout Edition

    I was just responding to somebody else's point. Sorry haha... As for blackouts, once the other three parks are as compelling as MK, they might be able to start reverting to blackouts only during peak periods (Spring Break, July 4th, Christmas, New Year's, etc). Right now, MK is the only park...

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    I know. But it's pretty obvious Star Wars Land is the BIG addition for the 50th. New Frontierland will oddly be 'icing on the cake' lol - no one on here was expecting it until whylightbulb randomly mentioned it.

    Fun With Numbers: MK Maingate Blackout Edition

    True lol... but at this point, priorities should be: Getting DHS up to par Fixing Future World Expanding AK post-Pandora (5-7 more attractions, plus revamps for Kali, Everest and DINOSAUR) Revitalizing World Showcase High-capacity Ds/Es or high-capacity shows for MK MK really is last on...

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    Right. Frontierland needs a people-eater and some new guest paths to avoid any bottle-necks or dead-ends. New Frontierland has to expand capacity considerably in order to truly help MK out. That would mean increasing MK's maximum capacity by at least 4,000-5,000. If they could somehow fit a...

    Fun With Numbers: MK Maingate Blackout Edition

    MK will pretty much always increase in attendance, so long as the economy doesn't crash. It's the #1 destination at WDW. Pandora and the DHS makeover will definitely spread crowds more... but if anything, it'll just mean less people go to Epcot and more go to AK/DHS. With MK either staying, or...

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    Considering the Belle isn't in the same level of Disney fandom as Horizons or Mr. Toad, I'd have to agree. There won't be riots if they close it up. Any 'closures' would be saved for further into the future. We would, if anything, get 'Frontierland is expanding!"... and that's it. The Pixar...

    DHS Makeover - What we know so far.....

    Or they'll expand Muppets, and possibly add a couple non-Pixar or Star Wars Cs/Ds to give guests more variety. At least I would hope there's something beyond those two IPs. Even if 75-80% of the non-infrastructure budget is Star Wars/Pixar ($1.4 billion should be enough for both), that still...

    A Spirited Perfect Ten

    It's more that people don't want to have to micromanage the vast majority of their day. Also, way too many things at MK, for example, shouldn't have a FP option: POTC HM IASW Buzz Mermaid Laugh Floor Philharmagic Tea Cups Dumbo Speedway If you removed FP+ from all of those, standby waits...

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    That's the wrong part of MK for it. Adventureland (Indy or JttCotE clone) or Tomorrowland (maybe a first-of-its-kind ride system) are far better places for that kind of thing. Frontierland already has two thrill rides. An all-ages dark ride or a people-eating stage show (6,000+ hr) are the...

    A Spirited Perfect Ten

    Regardless, I still won't be able to look past just the mistakes they've made in the initial attraction lineup. Peter Pan and Pooh as vanilla C-tickets instead of grand E-tickets SDMT instead of an original family coaster (or better yet... Bald Mountain) Budget cuts for Lost World Rapids (the...

    A Spirited Perfect Ten

    Nope. I wouldn't blame you one bit for not being interested in Minions. Unlike Pixar, WDAS, Studio Ghibli, Laika, some DreamWorks, or Aardman, the folks at Illumination hardly even bother to give teens/adults any sort of substance. The first DM was a fluke. All of their efforts since then...

    Magic Kingdom 50th Anniversary Plans

    Whylightbulb just revealed New Frontierland is near a greenlight. That's what the $350m for MK is supposedly for.

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    Frontierland expansion makes the most sense, because it would have the least GA appeal. Fire Mountain, a JttCotE clone or a Tomorrowland revamp would be too much of a draw. But a family dark ride in the back corner of the park with 2,000+/hr? Unless TDO advertises it like crazy, they could...

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    Well right now, it's (in terms of attractions) MK - 1.25 days (1 9am-midnight day, 1 9am-1pm day... if you're not doing every single M&G and you know how to use FP+) Epcot - 0.75 days (9am-5pm... should be done with every attraction if you do TT single rider, and FP+ for Soarin', MS, and SSE...

    Magic Kingdom 50th Anniversary Plans

    To be honest, expanding certain areas of MK wouldn't be huge attendance draws, either (I.E,: non-Fire Mountain/JttCotE clone/B&TB dark ride/Tomorrowland E-ticket... all would be huge attendance boosters due to either their stature or IP popularity) But: "A new original Tomorrowland C-ticket...

    Rumor: Details on Disney's Hollywood Adventure

    MK wouldn't be nearly as busy at night if the other 3 parks were open later. Ideally, the operating schedule during peak season should be: Epcot - 9am to 1am MK - 8am to 12am DHS - 8am to 11pm AK - 7am to 10pm The problem is that 3 of the 4 don't have enough major attractions to last repeat...

    Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

    It's most noticeable when you look at the classic people-eaters' wait-times since FP+ JC - 50 to 70 min POTC - 40 to 50 min HM - 40 to 60 min SSE - 20 to 40 min GMR - 30 to 50 min IASW - 30 to 40 min LwtL - 20 to 30 min All of those used to be relatively short waits - attractions you did...
