By replacing a river you can't swim in with attractions and paths, you have replaced a lot of physical space you could not occupy with a lot of physical space you can now occupy. You don't need someone to do the calculus. And that's before you consider what appears to be a mountain that allows...

How do we know it was't done? And led to a delay or pause in the announcement? We don't know either way. Ok. Respectfully, I think your understanding of physics is compromised if you didn't realize the riverbed is supporting millions of tons of water weight and the weight of the Riverboat above...

It could have everything to do with the project moving forward or not. I mean obviously it needs one. The point is that it may have found something materially relevant to the feasibility of the project. Just as it likely did with ROA needing to be removed due to an otherwise difficult mix of...

How would it not be more efficient? If we define capacity efficiency as # people per square foot of space, the Cars proposal is easily orders of magnitude more efficient than ROA today. You're converting space occupied by water and a small island (that only a limited number of guests utilize...

It wasn't, but it's an example of how seemingly obvious parts of the design process (e.g., land survey, geotechnical and environmental reports, etc.) are worth highlighting, given the material impact they can have on what feels like shocking end results. And at least equally worth highlighting...

Because if Zanetti's explanation is true about ROA having several challenges with its foundation, drainage, etc., then it's a material reason to remove it. And a material part of the process to highlight if it guides areas that seem obvious to keep or build on that may not be as easy as we think

Sure, but the effects aren't so spectacular and difficult to replicate. It's not like It's Tough to be a Bug where you need special seats and more complex physical environment and characters. That's probably because it's a different budget and decision-making workflow. Simple maintenance is...

A 3D movie is an easy format to bring back for limited time events. How hard would it be to just drop Muppetvision into the small theater next to the Frozen Sing a Long where they play the Mickey shorts with a simple themed entrance facade? Lower capacity, so it would actually fill that theater...

So with all these boat rides going around, why doesn’t DHS have one? Do any of the land ideas considered for AC involve one? Feels like an obvious gap in that park that Zootopia wouldn’t fit if it’s a clone. I get it’s just a ride system, but there’s something I notice more about 3 trackless...

Wall-E is my favorite Pixar film. If they ever give it an attraction, I think I’d cry. I doubt it though

At some point, we have to make room for new classics — rides that today’s kids can grow old with. Else we’ll have parks stuck in a 1970s/80s/90s time capsule Except for devoted fans and casual park goers looking for a laugh and a seat in the AC, Muppetvision just isn’t a big draw, and not in...

Any indication they would repurpose the Muppets theater and make a Monsters show of it? A relocated Laugh Floor — which has nothing to do with Tomorrowland anyway? In the concept art, it does still look like a brick building is to the right of the HQ building. Harryhausen could go where...

The The issue isn’t what they advertised, it’s what they decided to do (and not do) at a park that needs more than fixing a land. MK has almost 3x the number of rides and got a ton of net new additions announced. Doesn’t make sense why some of that budget didn’t go to AK and HS, at least to start

I see a few waterfalls. It’s a bit fuzzy on purpose, and don’t think this art commits them to specifics of that nature. I bet they’d make a waterfall ala Grizzly Peak at DCA I don’t think they’re ripping the soul of the park per se, but I do think it’s a signature design feature of the park...

I agree. The part of the model with the 4 elevator tracks look like 2 side-by-side scare floors. The upside-down L shaped supports in the left of the movie screenshot (below) correspond to half of the “X” supports in the model. Think that rules out 1 big room or 4 individual show scenes. In each...

Perhaps they’re just very excited about by this new ride tech, Cars is the obvious IP, and this was the natural park to put it in. I don’t think they put it behind BTM to give Villains an expansive area. I’m all for cutting edge tech, but I do worry about the reliability of outdoor self driving...

Though I think it’s a beautiful design feature and will miss it, I’m not nostalgically wedded to ROA / TSI. I just don’t get why it’s being removed to add 2 more attractions to a park that has almost 3x as many as HS and AK to begin with. The capacity argument feels naïve. You’ll have more...

This land would be analogous to Fantasyland’s “greater meaning” just a dark version of it where we see where the Villains reside. I get what you mean if they literally call it Villain Land. But I think that’s just what they’re referring to I hope they name it consistent with the other lands in...

It’s got way, way more than the other 3 at WDW. I wouldn’t compare it to DL
