Great update. One thing. The neon on the GMR signage. It was out for three months in 2006, the same area is still out now, have they replaced it and it has now gone out again, because if not, that is really, really bad show. I was ed that they had a half lit sign for three...

There will no doubt be a lot of money behind this project. How-ever it seems to lack any real imagination, or soul. It seem's they have just taken as many ideas as they can think of, and put a world at the end of it, Golf world, Racing world, Snow world, Water world etc... The theming it's...

Walt never panderd. There were some division set up to make money more than others such as the live action division but this was just so he get money to fund more and more of his ideas. To Walt making money was only a means to the end of funding his ideas, not for the sake of just making money.

No, they just feel very strongly about the character invasion of IASW.

And that in a nutshell is the problem. Walt Disney never pandered to anybody, When Walt was building an attraction he never said "Oh we should build this, because I can guarantee the under 10's middle class kids market who drink tropicana are going to go wild about this one". He's goal was...

Reimagineering have just made another new post on IASW, delving into further depth on this decision. This issue goes even further than IASW, IASW is just a sympton of the WDC's current philosophy. http://imagineerebirth.blogspot.com/ The score was changed needlessly, the script was...

Pandering to extensive Market research and “test-groups” is a sure-fire way to hit the road to mediocrity, when it comes to a creative project.

I've been reading LP and found a nicley worded post on the subject by Arcuanbird. Also to those people who said Disney has NEVER cared about their attractions, and it was all just marketing to make money. Here is an exert from an interview with Alice Davy, about how things were in Walts day...

[/I] Interesting how some people decided to comment on the most irrelevant thing, the wording of the thread title, rather than the issue at hand. Do you have a hard time dealing with context? In the context of the Disney theme park, and the Disney legacy, adding characters to IASW, and...

Exactly, imagine the money Disney could make, by giving the public something they never knew they even needed, something the company used to do on a regular basis. Snow White, Disneyland, EPCOT are just a few examples. Shame that they now pander to what they "think" people want, rather than...

Walt never placed marketing over theme. Walt made money through quality. He offered a quality product which made money, simple. The theme decided the product, then the product was marketed. Now the marketing decides the theme and the placement.

No, I think of the overall good otherwise I would not even bother posting. The overall good is the soul of the company, and everytime Disney does something like Direct to DVD sequals, characters in IASW, the destruction of anything thought provoking in EPCOT etc... they rip a little more soul...

I was all for Everest and Soarin. Just like I was all for the HM refurb. Examples of good change ^

They wanted change... for the better not for the worse. CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE. Is that all the people who apologise for Disney’s poor efforts post? Without even stopping to think of the merits of each individual change. Change like I have all ready stated is not all ways good. JII for...

LMAO Expo Seeker, lol. Let's just say that made me laugh much more than the ending of SSE, LOL.

This is exactly the type of dumbing down, condescending behaviour we should be fighting against. It does not improve it, it talks down, it condescends. So you’re saying children are incapable of enjoying, and understanding IASW without the aid of Disney characters being shoe-horned into the...

There is nothing saying Fantasyland is ok to become corporate marketing land, while all the other lands are somehow protected. Fantasyland is as integral to Disneyland as Frontierland, Adventureland, New Orleans Square etc... Fantasyland has an abundance of movie-tie in attractions, as this is...

It does not matter how it's done. The very concept of adding characters to IASW is what’s wrongs, it's the concept not the execution, kind of like choosing a survey, and a whimsical Jettsons animation as the ending for SSE, it's the concept not the execution, no matter how well executed it is...
