This is pretty much where I’m at. The park needs more space and multiple ride additions. Accomplish those two tasks and create a new muppet experience elsewhere on property first; then let’s hear your plans for Grand Ave.

I’m not saying they didn’t know it’d be a controversy, they clearly did. I’m saying they don’t know how to manage a fan controversy. There’s renderings they could create that could mitigate a lot of concerns. Their lack of production makes me question their communication capabilities.

I’m still in the wait-and-see camp for this; but I am struck by the ineptitude of the marketing operation. The marketing/comms people seemingly don’t know how to massage controversial news to fans. Given that the controversy here is primarily about loss of atmosphere, they could have...

That's a mind-boggling brain-dead creative decision. They could demo Stage 1 for a wider path, coupled with a partial demo/reconstruction of Mama Melrose into a Harryhousen's that faces a new annex courtyard for Monstropolis and the coaster. They've got the space needed from Melrose/MV3D to the...

You could do a temp road and still maintain operations similar to a parade crossing. I could see delayed openings & longer waits at the stations, but full closure for an extended period doesn't seem immediately necessary. One would think they'd want the capacity, especially if that BTMRR redo...

If they’re going to shutter HoP for Muppets, I’m fine with it**, but they need to announce that ASAP before the election. ** - too many visitors have proven themselves incapable of acting like normal/sane adults, which ruins the whole experience.

Steve indicated the likelihood of any attractions being “moved” is low. Plus, is Laugh Floor really that well received? It’s always struck me as a tepid time-filler.

But what exactly would MV3D be? The coaster would have to be built in the cast parking lot. Is there a second unannounced attraction for Monstropolis? Extremely disappointing news regardless if this comes to pass.

I seem to recall a rumor 5-10 years ago that TDL was considering replacing their ROA with a Cars area. It makes me wonder if this is a derivative of those efforts. Tbh I thought they’d have preserved a stream way a la the center of Disney springs. Instead they’re just going full scorched earth...

Supposedly Disney told the media last night that everything announced is intended to be done within 5 years. Take that for what you will.

Cars aside, TSI absolutely should be refreshed and likely with a more relevant wilderness IP. That said, I'd hate to lose the exploration aspect from MK altogether. Exploration/play trails are one of the things that makes Disney Parks more than just a really fancy Six Flags.

I can't shake the feeling that a replay of the MMRR announcements might occur for the Lion King flume: Step 1) Announce it as an "exclusive" at D23 to sell the idea every resort's getting special attention. Step 2) Two years later, reveal that it's coming to another park. Surprise! Duplicate...

I would think there hasn't been enough time between IO2 becoming a hit and today for them to have a locked-in concept. Especially if Josh was honest about his "no blue skies, we promise" declaration. I feel like Destination D 2025 is the earliest you could have a Magic Eye concept ready to...

Genuinely surprised they didn't release even one new piece of concept art for 3.0. I still had a slight hope that maybe there would be something revealed today in all the new additions to the WDI exhibit.

It's amusing how this project still plausibly could be a fantastic home run or a big unforced error. IMO, the plausible options shake out as: 1) Shorten ROA, preserve Liberty Belle & TSI as attractions, Add Cars & villains = A/A+ alteration 2) Shorten ROA, perma-dock LB, remove TSI rafts...

TSL certainly makes sense, but I think there's a way to redress it for Pandora or Discovery Island as well. All three spots would be tight fits, but there's room.

Still wish they would give Triceratops spin a reskin and move it elsewhere in the park. I'd love for them to announce that next year at Destination D, but I won't hold my breath lol. What they showed tonight looks very promising for the land's quality. Fidelity to the park's ideals is still TBD.

I would hope they have the sense to make the E-ticket an indoor experience. If the whole point of the expansion(?) is upping capacity and moving guests/LL, this thing needs to be running rain or shine.

Well, they certainly made...choices. I'm not sure how to feel about any of them without more very-necessary details. Tangential to the real announcements, but using New Horizons & the broken Yeti joke, with no actual payoff/promise is very grating. Not surprised they did that, but c'mon Josh...

The structure of this presentation is chaotic as all get out. Did they throw index cards in the air to decide how to order the announcements?
