I wouldn't say 'better books' because thats subjective. I would say that the amount of people that look wistfully to the Mississippi River as the 'frontier' is nearly zero, and the people that look at Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn the same way is only slightly more.

You care so much about it, you don't know the boats name. The Lilly Belle is one of the trains. The boat is the Liberty Belle (originally Richard F. Irvine). He paid for some of the construction of Disneyland out of his own pocket, which included the Mark Twain Steamboat (now Riverboat). He...

Film rights have nothing to do with anything. Hulk rights reverted to Disney/Marvel. Uni has no intention of changing anything or letting Disney buy back characters. They will only do so when the SuperHero Island attractions become so outdated that they want to replace them. And at the same...

All of WDW is hot in July.

Luckily, we'll be able to ask AA Walt what he wants soon.

Oh absolutely, but that posters argument was basically that they shouldn't build anything except coasters. Because thats building for the majority of guests.

You sure about that, I've heard it on good authority in this here thread that no more water will be in MK at all, and the lack of water will kill MK.

I mean, thats obviously on World Showcase Lagoon and what became the show that cannot be named.

People want coasters, but not the MAJORITY of people view them as their primary reason for visiting a theme/amusement park. There's a reason coaster parks attendance peak is a fraction of Disney & Uni, and it isn't because 'Orlando'. Its because the varied themed experiences are what the...

No... you target the biggest audience and hope for everyone to enjoy it. Its the same reason new resort hotels are not overflowing with theming - because the majority doesn't always want that.

The last thing they built was a coaster, and then they're building a Monsters coaster. Coasters are popular, but they're not for everyone as evidenced by attendance at coaster heavy parks (Cedar Point, etc)

Probably not. Probably not. They won't change the parade route. Part of the reason this is going where it is is because they would need to remove all the infrastructure backstage (part of which is the parade storage) if they built out the other way. Guests will not be traveling on the canal.

Don't get your hopes too high, they announced electric vehicles for Autopia (DL), so they aren't going to do that and then replace it completely right after.

Exactly. TSI isn't really a major loss. The rest of the river isn't really a major loss (except for the actual trip on the boat). But the atmosphere/ambiance of the riverfront is what's being lost.

So wait - your example of the general public being stupid (a sentiment I agree with, 50% of people are, after all, dumber than average) is a cartoon? But its not about being 'stupid', its about Disney building its parks for the majority.

They aren't putting guests on a bridge 50 feet above the ground. They aren't building your 'vision'.

They aren't anything alike.

You know how high a walkway would have to be to get the Liberty Belle under it?

My sweet summer child, let me tell you the tale of Disneyland's Tomorrowland...
