I think of imagined animals as those of folklore not those of sci-fi. I am more interested in animals that have collective cultural relevance....that are well known by many rather than a plot contrivance created by James Cameron.

I say if you choose an IP that has little relevance in pop culture, but you make a great immersive land that actually compliments the theme of the park, then fine. On the other hand, if you have a very relevant property but have to force it to fit, it's not ideal but at least you are going to...

And to think, if they had just agreed to "polish the smokestack" routinely we wouldn't have the castrated version we have today.

The line in that song should have been, "Isn't it unfortunate?"

Once, you start speaking in third person, you know it has gotten bad. Did they at least buy you a drink before you were "stripped to the bone"?

It's true. It would never work, because if it would I am sure they would have done it already...but from a theming perspective it sure could be cool. It's a shame that it is so easy to do that kind of thing, but what can you do? I guess their best bet would just be to overprice them so much to...

Probably not logistically possible, but wouldn't it be great if they sold hard to find DIsney DVD's? They could theme a section of the store to look like the elusive "Disney Vault" where they sold all those movies that are not currently available anywhere else. It would give the store some...

Ah, I wouldn't consider my statements to be negative. I am an architect by training and that's what we do, discuss the design and contemplate how it could be better. If I had no respect for the work, I wouldn't bother discussing it at all. My opinion is, I am a registered member on a site...

Everything about her has been rounded out. The stylized angular animation of the film makes it one of the best looking animated films IMO, and I hate to see it watered down.

I do think that could help. I actually thought the old transition in this area worked better than any other transition in the park. The Columbia Harbour House bridge had the dual benefit of limiting the sight lines and controlling the view, while also softening the thematic transition. I think...

They could build any number of attractions in this area, cloned or not, and they would be successful. Just make something high quality that is a logical fit to flesh out that corner of the park, and make sure the money spent is doing the double duty of expanding the park's offerings while giving...

Unfortunately I think I have to agree. As a stand alone I think it is "nice" and I appreciate that it is heavily themed, but as a transition between lands, it fits in neither.

Not really sure what the ride will say to me, but the only customized salutation I am getting out of this is a big ole middle finger.

Not really. For those without a smartphone, you could use a centralized kiosk rather than running to the far corners of the park, which is still a plus over what is in place now. Look, I am as wary of this system as anyone else (well maybe not as wary as the Disney is going to hunt down and...

My point is, if they can lower their expectations and can use this technology simply to prevent the "rope drop race" and allow me to book a fastpass day of, with predetermined "real time" return times just like the current system with the only difference being that I can book from my smartphone...

I believe it has already been confirmed that Disney will be providing a device for booking fastpasses in the event you don't have a smart phone. There are tons of reasons to not like the new fastpass+ but this isn't one of them. Like I said, I too am against the advance ride reservations, but if...

To me it seems the only way this works is if the current fastpass rules remain and the only difference is you can book from your phone rather than running to the actual attraction...day of, with return times being predetermined based on availability. If they want to save face based on what they...

I appreciate the humor. It seems it was lost on everyone else here...

It baffles me that decades old characters deeply engrained in our culture need to be re-worked as though their traditional appearance had really been holding them back all these years. How far should they go? Should the films be re-released with the new made over princesses so today's audience...

This might be the next best thing to an original attraction, especially if it is simultaneously developed with the film. Seems to be more of a design impetus rather than cashing in on a film franchise. From what little we know about this Pixar project, an associated attraction could have the...
