So how much of this is queue backstory vs ride? Like I feel like I’ve seen images of bayou critters playing cute musical instruments in the bayou that I was on board with… as opposed to Tiana’s Food Network Adventure.

Can we get the Louis lost his trumpet plot back? Kidding 😉

I’m hoping/presuming that this explanation is simply the backstory for the queue and connecting QS restaurant. The ride platform itself really is going to demand something a bit more “adventurous”. This is still, after all, a log flume with a 50 foot drop.

Since I want to assume positive intent on Disney’s part here for sake of argument. Are guest surveys contributing to this evolution in mindset? Post-COVID concerns? I still remember the 4 hour wait down Main Street in 1995 when I went with my family for Indiana Jones. While it was chaos it’s...

I appreciate the back and forth. Even if we disagree. I notice we keep citing 3+ hour waits. Given the sheer number of rides and attractions at Disneyland and MMRRs hourly capacity do we have any reason to believe this attraction would have these kinds of waits in the absence of VQ even now...

Interesting that in the same sentence I’m being ascribed as a conspiracy peddler you’re conceding my point here. If a spoonful of pixie dust helps the medicine go down I’ll acknowledge Disney’s intentions may well have been with the purest of intentions for better guest experience originally...

Isn’t that what DAS is for? The ADA compliant program the park has had in place for years now. If not then let’s go to all VQs. Isn’t that part of the reason they cleared all the space in front of Roger by removing the fountain and creating the turf area? Serious question: wasn’t the VQ borne...

I vote Disneyland Railroad. For all the reasons others have mentioned. As I noted in another post here somewhere, it also is the first attraction that is prominent upon entering the park, connects the various disparate themed lands, establishes a berm between the park and the outside world...

Was your 2 year old disappointed about missing out on Splash? If so, congrats on raising a future NBA superstar. Joking aside: Splash Mountain was handled the old fashioned way. The issue I have here with the VQs and with creating this type of lottery caste system is it’s deceptive marketing...

Novel idea but too much salt doesn’t sit well on the pallet..plus gotta watch that sodium intake, I say let’s theme it to a pepper mill.

1) you just made my point that people prioritize trips around single attractions; 2) as adults we move forward when a ride malfunctions but if you’re traveling kids that look forward to it or don’t have the concept of time/expectations it is different; 3) it’s also a bit different if it’s an...

Perhaps not in all instances but it can certainly be a deciding factor in the highly saturated Southern CA theme park market families likely would prioritize if/when they would make an annual or semi-annual trip around if and when a new attraction is opening. I.e. an average middle income...

Joking aside as others have said if you split Frontierland into a Flapper/1920s era Port Orleans themed land to fit TBA and transition into a more modern Rio Mesa themed Latin-America-inspired land beginning with BTMRR around the bends of RoA you can likely eliminate Frontierland and it’s...

Don’t forget the “Soon-To-Be-Puddle-of-America-with-Parked-Riverboat”

The thing with SWGE in California is it largely added to the park and the changes to the RR and ROA scenery were largely non-objectionable and in my opinion actually plussed the experience. While the river was shortened it’s really quite hard to tell (since like with Toon Town, most of what was...

While I agree with the sentiment in theory, if it’s a celebration of the company itself it does make sense to have it at least partially in and around the greater Los Angeles area where the company was founded, which includes DL as a prominent touch point in the history of TWDC. Ideally WDW...

The business practices at Avery Mine are to be taken with a grain of salt but I’m told the employees are very CO-OPerative. Just dig a little deeper and you’ll see. Now as they used to say back in the day ‘time to be moving along’.

Lol. We’re all undesirable for different reasons in the eyes of the great Christine “let them eat smaller-portioned cake” McCarthy.

If we’re going to fudge the metrics of what defines a “ride” to make WDW fans feel better might as well include restrooms, too. And parking spaces. I’ll admit the Tangled restroom may be worth an A-B ticket.

Tongue in cheek comments aside on my part herein is where my skepticism lies. Particularly on the DL side we’re talking about aging infrastructure that may or may not have been properly inspected/pressure tested to handle the new show scenes and elements. But at WDW too I imagine significant...
