    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    This is as good a time as any to mention that the final version of 7DMT had significant cuts to its scenery compared to early plans. That log bridge as you can see was never built. The original plan was to have dwarf figures marching along the top as the coaster zoomed under them. At some...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Now just hear me out. A giant model of Deadpool's severed hand flipping the bird as a replacement for Cinderella castle. The kids would love it.

    MK Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    What are you talking about? All they have to do is glue giant googly eyes to her delivery truck and give her yet another occupation as a racecar driver and it'll fit perfectly! 🤣

    MK All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

    I would be shocked if we got a soundtrack in the classic orchestral waltz-like vein of Spectromagic. But at the very least, I hope they don't take any cues from Paint the Night and its modern pop-music style and beat. I fear they will though given how many modern entertainment soundtracks do it.

    EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    A lot of the space behind the WoL building on its north side is now occupied by Cosmic Rewind. It might be conceivable to expand to its eastern rear (behind the former Cranium Command section), but there's an imagineering building in the way that would need to go and the road would also need to...

    Rumor Lion King Flume Ride being considered for Animal Kingdom

    Not against this ride or anything, but outside vs inside on the ride itself isn't the issue. It's after you get off the ride. A person and their clothes getting soaked and having to walk around outside afterwards. Hopefully they design this attraction in a way that the splash factor can be...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    No, don't do this. Splitting the thread up will lead to the same sort of echo chamber that Tiana was allowed to have when it was split into two threads. And discourage the extremely well warranted criticism.

    DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    To be fair, they have been recently showing versions of the film without Vader. For a while, they had replaced Vader with Kylo Ren, and currently (at least within the past 6 months), they just had a probe droid instead of either. So i'm not entirely sure how sacred even Vader is. They could also...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    There's still a couple of sizeable expansion pads. This is a map I made some years prior to Tron, most of which was verified by Martin. Martin told me that everything aside from plots 5 and 6 were/are official pads, and we now know that 6 is also seemingly one since Villains was supposed to...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Also, do we know with certainty that there are two rides at Villains? It said two major attractions, but that doesn't mean both are rides. The other one could be some sort of stage or theater show.

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    The Cars ride looks like it will only be a couple minutes long at most, so that claim is going to be a thing regardless.

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    The utilidors may not be affected by this project at all. They pass underneath the LS/Frontierland buildings, not the RoA or walkway connecting to it.

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Another lengthy railroad closure is practically guaranteed. If it's not the land prep and construction access areas, then it'll be from the work to fill in the RoA. The train tracks cross the connecting canal and I assume they'll probably renovate or even demolish/rebuild the old bridge...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    The expansions for Epcot are the unused spaces in between the existing countries (there were originally designated expansion pads behind some of these, but that wouldn't have been until much later in the park's life after all the other spaces were used up). About half a dozen or so. There would...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Splash doesn't really close specifically because of cold weather (unlike Kali or the water parks), though the lines typically diminish that time of year and they often use that soft period to bring it down for refurb. It has however operated throughout the winter season in the past without going...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    They're about to tear out the RoA, TSI and Riverboat for a smaller, much uglier and less impressive and overall worse adaptation of Radiator Springs Racers. I'll take MK's butchered (and I do most certainly agree that it is inferior to DL's) POTC any day over this garbage.

    What an ironic comment to post in this thread...

    Rumor Lion King Flume Ride being considered for Animal Kingdom

    Shanghai. It's almost the same ride, only difference is that they didn't replicate the life-sized dwarf cottage and interior scene. They instead added a forced perspective miniature of the cottage viewed from a distance.

    Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll haunt the figure and shout obscenities at Iger every show. Or better, walks offstage and into corporate headquarters to kick him in the nuts.
