Deadline reports that Kingdom whatever of the Apes is estimated to get $55-60m opening weekend domestically. Sounds like a good start, I guess. Wonder what the budget is. I believe the previous Apes movies were a little under $200m.

This post is genuinely funny twenty years later.

Good IP for D+ but “this is the first time the film is available in over 50 years” is typical Disney bluster. Took 5 seconds of Google searching to find an HD copy streaming for free.

Which has nothing at all to do with the park‘s Hollywood theme other than another IP movie, got it.

The Route 66 in Cars is nowhere near Hollywood. Why’s that better suited for DHS, just because the road connected Chicago and LA?

As I asked several days ago. Proven franchise, successful E-ticket, desert setting, can be modified to fit area.

Why is Cars a bad fit for MK?

Neither was Splash Mtn, 1.0 or 2.0. Larger point, Frontierland is all about 1950s nostalgia. Think about when/where it originated.

Disney imitating what was a massive success for Universal seems like the definition of game-changer but uh yeah sure they’re all game-changers, man

in this essay I will redefine “game-changer” to be anything I want it to be regardless of chronology, context, and objective reality

A Pixar riff on Knott’s log flume made too much sense. Wonder why a modified Carsland or at least the ride wasn’t considered for the Frontierland expansion. Because of the Lassiter associations? Seems like an obvious fit otherwise.

WRE remixed with Toy Story woulda been a killer addition around 2010 or so.

Maybe the most surprising decision at MK over the past two decades is the fact that Toy Story or Woody never got a permanent chunk of Frontierland. Is he also on a list now? Okay for future sequels but not park additions?

I mean, talk about problematic. It’ll take the peanut gallery about five minutes to realize the Disney characters of color are being associated with Frontierland and Adventureland. Which makes Fantasyland a de facto white Eurocentric land. Modern Disney’s okay with that but not the connotations...

🚩🚩suure whatever you say 🚩🚩

That makes it sound even more like a narrative ploy than aiming for the fences. New stuff is welcome but this is the same company that’s specialized in chronically short and overhyped rides *with a few noticeable exceptions* over the past decade. Curious if anything reported would rival ROTR in...

If the blog brigade was brought in for the song and dance, WDI must really be sErIoUs this time. Did Lou Mongello’s invite get lost in the mail?

Soarin over Coco is definitely a (very modern-WDI) choice.

Saw it was posted in other individual threads but for those keeping track generally: SW Mandalorian movie in May 2026 Toy Story 5 in June 2026 Live-action Moana in July 2026 The stacking of those three summer releases in 2026 seems curious. Is that to increase the odds that one or two hit big...

Just have to get the algorithms to account for the portion of the customer base that won’t bother to visit because of perceived inconvenience, paying twice, etc.
