Or this could be a PR stunt to get the Florida state government off its back over the RCDD issue.

Also, I remember, Eisner cancelled all (or most) projects that were under development under his predecessor when he first became CEO. He, then, relaunched major projects under the Disney Decade banner some time later. So, this makes sense that Iger would do something similar. The bad news is...

Remem I would love to see that interview. Can anyone link me?

Here’s the deal. I saw the details of Chepek’s plan to overhaul EPCOT. It’s actually a good thing that much of it never panned out. The “attractions” were mostly facades, which looked good but were really cheap as far as its attractions go. I’m confident Igor will green light worthy new...

$17 billion is A LOT of money. It can buy a fifth park, expansions and plusing at all existing parks, new hotels, new transportation options, a train station, and more. I’m excited to see what they will announce after they budget it.

By the way, did you all know that originally a Mary Poppins ride was going to go into the Magic Kingdom for Opening Day 1971? In the end, Roy Disney decided to clone Peter Pan for Fantasyland’s dark “flying” ride than to spend a whole new development budget on an original Mary Poppins MK dark ride.

I guess they’re saving Imagination and Brazil for next year...

Wow, I really like this announcement! With this and Rat next door, World Showcase is starting to be a dream!

I’m happy with the announcements. I was not expecting the Mary Poppins ride to be announced. I was hoping for Imagination...

So, the EPCOT announcements are over? What I’m seeing... Mary Poppins (ride?) coming to UK Space Ship Earth redo The water attraction thing Demolition of half of Innovations Trees New entrance fountains (two of them) Did I miss anything?

Major announcements for new attractions are supposed to be on sunday... if a dream attraction for Imagination is announced...

Such a disappointment

What time is the announcement? Did I miss it?

It kills me how good of a secret Disney has kept this. Normally, a leak would have been all over the Boards by now!

I remember, during the Eisner era, Disney was ready to respond to Universal’s Harry Potter announcements by building new E-ticket attractions in each park (including Fire Mountain). In the end, it was decided to shelve these projects because Burbank calculated that the Universal announcement...

Okay, cross that off the list...

Yes, I see the motivation in buying it to reunite the Muppets and Sesame Street rights. This is good reason alone to buy them. Also, the joy of nabbing this property as Universal-Comcast was preoccupied securing the property rights for their third park project...

Almost happened a few times. I remember Eisner almost bought them in the 80's but Anheuser Busch won it. Disney was ready to re-imagineer the park as DisneySeas.

This is the most logical... third Anaheim park or fifth Florida park, regardless, there must be a theme. Fox?

No. Because of the public element
