Are they still strictly enforcing the VQ return times for this? I would need to ride this at night, not for entertainment reasons, but logistical ones. I’m not going to leave my wife and kids during our time at MK to ride this, so I would only do so after putting the kids to bed and going back...

In theory, Epcot could absorb these guests via passive experiences, but that’s not currently enforced in any way. The people “waiting” for GotG can simultaneously be standing in line for/riding Soarin or TT or FEA or Rat (or even a headliner in a different park). Not only does this redistribute...

A few more flat rides in TSL would be nice, but the lack of a play area is such a glaring missed opportunity. A land filled with oversized toys, but kids can’t even interact with them. A land themed to a backyard, yet you are confined to a single straight-line path and have nowhere to run...

It’s weird that they’re calling the land MoM and not Place Cachèe. I understand that it’s a more marketable name, but it doesn’t actually reflect what the land is supposed to represent. It only pertains to the ride, which takes place in a different country.

But most of the time savings gained by not waiting in that line is offset by the time lost waiting in line for other rides behind people who would otherwise be waiting for that ride. If you had exclusive access to VQ, it would obviously be a major advantage (it would essentially be like a free...

If Disney was looking to respond to EU (which they aren’t), it would make a lot more sense for them to open simultaneous expansions/additions to all 4 existing parks than to create a new one. WDW could fit like 2 full theme parks’ worth of experiences into the footprints of their current parks...

Calling it a zoo is a bit reductive. If you removed all live animals from DAK without adding anything new, the park could definitely continue to exist (though it would be worse and not worth the current price of admission). If you removed all the attractions without live animals OTOH, I imagine...

It would be too much of a safety hazard. Guests would be constantly bumping into the castle on their way to Fantasyland.

If this queue features a lifelike AA of Flash the sloth, Disney can just take my ILL money now

Car chase? When I heard “Zootopia ride,” my mind immediately jumped to “salt mine.” Was that just me?

This. The whole point of a theme park is to transport guests to a place they wish they could go (e.g. Neverland, an idealized Hollywood, Hogwarts, etc.). Dinorama successfully transports guests to a place they don’t want to be. They literally spent thousands of dollars and likely travelled...

I think we need to distinguish between the blending of the parks’ themes and the blending of the parks themselves. I agree that Disney is moving in the direction of putting less emphasis on the themes of each park. But they still have very distinct offerings. This is effectively how Uni...

Does the Parks chairman have control over how much money is invested in the parks? Or is the budget given to him, and he then decides how to invest that money?

I like this idea, but I would remove the suburban/urban IPs. Could call the land “North America” to match the other continents, with temperate forest and mountain theming, featuring Bambi, Pocahontas, Brother Bear, and Chip & Dale

The bigger problem (at least IMO) would be that it would open with like 3 rides (including a spinner), 2 shows, and a bunch of shopping and dining, with plenty of ambitious “phase 2” plans to fill out the park that never come to fruition. And on top of that, it would mean neglecting the other 4...

The bigger problem is not the lack of flat rides, but the fact that even most of their slow dark rides (e.g. ET, CitH, Yoshi) have height requirements for some reason

I was wondering that from the concept art, as they make it seem as if the boats can move in different directions, rather than being bound to a track. But (a) as @doctornick mentioned, I don’t know if they are able to make that tech work with drops, and (b) it’s always dangerous to try to glean...

There’s definitely some truth to this. The subconscious is programmed to recognize patterns, so it picks up when multiple elements conform to a unified theme, creating a sense of satisfaction for the guest even if they aren’t fully aware it’s happening. However, conformance to a theme is only...

Would you prefer a pop quiz style attraction?

I agree that they don’t need to explicitly explain the existence of the mountain, but they do need some sort of plot device to explain why you’re going up and down in the ride. But I’m not sure I could have conjured up a duller concept for the elevation than “you’re in a salt mine” if I tried...
