The X-Wing drones were never intended to be anything other than short-lived promotion pieces. These are not

Starfall's hook is it is meant to be at its best at night, when just the light on the trains would be visible. During the day the majority of it will be blocked by landscaping in CP anyways. Berk, if it's the same as China, will have one of the best stage shows in any theme park. And they'll...

One small land with one new attractions vis. an entire theme park capable of holding an estimated 40,000 people. Apples and oranges

I believe Strange is under the Universal contract.

Universal will never relinquish the rights to Disney. They got such a deal it'd be suicide to turn it over to their competitor

Notice I said area not the park. Sure SE remains but then once you get into the park... look where Energy (28+ minutes) Horizons (12+ minutes) and World of Motion (14 minutes) - replaced by GotG (6 minutes) Mission: Space and Test Track (each about 5 min). Or the other side - JII (12 min)...

It's one of the reasons EPCOT seems lacking in atractions . An area which once had nearly 90 minutes of rides and shows now has 12 minutes of rides.

Ironically, Sleeping Beauty castle at Disneyland was to promote the new film (which ended up being delayed anyways). So it ended up being an icon based on a future IP :D

Urban legend. No, it wasn't

Besides not meeting expectations, one of the bigger reasons it lost money was its insane budget of nearly $300 million. It would have needed $800 million in grosses to return a profit, something no Jones films could do in this day and age.

None of those characters can be used by Disney in Florida (that pesky Universal contract)

Well, probably genetics. When I was a kid my 71-year-old grandmother was the one who took me on coasters at Coney Islland She also took me on the parachute jump (yikes!). She was a hands-in-the-air while riding the Cyclone kind of gal.

Several of the scenes would have to be modified to not be offensive in today's world.

How exactly does one "age out" of theme parks? I'm 70 and go weekly

The original EPCOT Center was a high-risk ambitious project that wasn't themed around Disney itself but the world now and in the future. It featured long rides, with tons of animatronics, and a sense of spectacular. Today's EPCOT is all about Disney, playing it safe, and creating average...

Dinasour has nothing that compares to that big reveal of the inside with cars on bridges, others diving down, smoke and lasers. First time I rode it I think I actually gasped

So did Sleeping Beauty, but it remained popular through the years. IJ has 4 successful movies, and a 5th that suffered from delays and COVID making people nervous about going to the theaters. They also overspent the budget

Celestial park will open with Epic (since it connects all the lands it'd be like opening Disney without Main Street). There are a few restaurants that will open later (probably late 2025 or early 2026)

They can anyone in IOA in comic book form in the X family and Avengers family. Judging from the lines for Hulk and SpiderMan (which is still regarded as one of the best dark rides on the planet) they're still popular. Long after the MCU has swiped out actors the comic book versions will remain

Biden doesn't give a speech just the oath of office, which how it was originally
