Quote from Walt Disney himself at the Disneyland dedication ceremony: Like every other land at Magic Kingdom, Frontierland is not and never has been about a specific decade or zip code. Frontierland is and always has been about ideas -- "faith, courage, and ingenuity" -- taught to us by a...

Could they make a Fantasyland entrance to Villains over by Gaston’s Tavern? The narrative transition would be pretty obvious — his tavern could be on the edge of a “dark village” like what we see in the right side of the concept art They’d have to reconfigure / eliminate the restrooms, and...

A Goofy Movie is very popular with the millennial demographic that actually goes on this ride. A hammed up 90s vibe w/ associated merch would sell, and the narrative urgency of needing to make it to the concert quickly is consistent with the movie and something we can relive. A Goofy Movie is...

A Goofy Movie overlay where we’re rushing to get Max to the Powerline concert with I2I blasting was too obvious of an answer, huh Shoehorning Muppets into a thrill ride in fear of a Josh Gad tweet is so short sided. Just move Muppetvision to the Mickey Shorts theater and be done with that. And...

USH grew attendance 15% in 2023 when Mario opened. Hollywood's Super Nintendo World is noticeably smaller than Tokyo (no Yoshi), and I wouldn't be surprised if many US or Europe-based families who wouldn't make the trek to Japan have just been waiting a couple years for the much bigger iteration...

I can only imagine. Most think it’s an MIB & Springfield replacement, but there’s a whole lot of backstage space between Simpsons and MIB that they must be relocating to pave the way for a huge expansion And the potential for interactivity and engagement with a Pokémon land is massive Out of...

The unaddressed elephant in the room is Pokémon going to USF. That could be massive

What ride are you referring to that was broken out? Also, nobody should be comparing “hits like FOP and ROTR” to Jimmy Fallon — if you want to compare heavyweights, let’s see how Battle at the Ministry and Monsters Unchained stack up for a fair fight. Perhaps better to compare Jimmy Fallon with...

That you had to add attractions maybe 7 years away to balance a lineup of rides coming in 7 months says everything about which list you’ll actually take from now until 2030 :)

That’s ridiculous. Clones not only save time on design, they save significant time in manufacturing. For Tron in MK, Disney did not redesign the restraint system, did not redesign the track layout, did not redesign the set pieces or effects or building except for the train modification which...

1 carbon copy replica attraction vs. a whole theme park (with only 2 carbon copy replicas). Yikes

I'm not sure it directly supports Monsters going into AC as much as something big going into AC. They may have realized that short of a Little Mermaid land in AC, it makes sense to relocate the entrance regardless of what they use AC for. I think Monsters could still go into Muppets if they want...

Wait times are signs of willingness to ride. At 40 minutes people find it worth it to wait for Peter Pan, which drives the wait time higher. Less popular rides don’t have that same kind of desirability, and so people are less unwilling to wait as long The load time is irrelevant to the guest...

I don’t see Cars extending that far up in the art. Seems to end just past the teal awnings from Haunted Mansion. I think it’s going to be around 4.5/5 acres I also think Villains will have show buildings outside of the berm. Will be big!

Disney wasn’t and isn’t always nostalgic. It was once all new, and delighted generations of people with brand new experiences with which they had zero nostalgic attachment. Some people have still never been to a park, and going for the first time today, even as adults. Much of the parks has to...

Absolutely. Some people here averse to change don’t realize change and innovation are in Disney’s DNA since it’s founding. Some of these “classics” have been around to be enjoyed for decades. We need to make room for new classics and experiences, or else the park will remain a time capsule. It’s...

No, you don’t understand statistics despite repeatedly misusing the word. I didn’t make any statistical claim. I have tried to explain the difference between the argument you want to have and the reality of what I said and the point I was making The fact is, one person spending 4 days going to...

“The ghosts are from 1770 so the times match up” lol In all seriousness, the lands today indeed all have widely diverse time periods covered

No. I never claimed unique visits or unique visitors is what you get from combining multiple parks’ attendances. I don’t know why you keep saying that? You get total visits to the combined parks, and it’s an absolutely valid metric to look at because it’s measuring total consumption of the...

Those are park visits per year. I didn’t say they were unique visits, but they are # of days attended by guests in a year You can’t compare a 2 day trip to Disneyland by one person vs. a week long trip to Disney World (and perhaps Universal / Sea World) for a week by one person. That would be...
