[AidenRodriguez731]

So which of those three things isn't happening?

You haven't heard? It's all not happening now! Disney has decided to retheme Test Track to Villians Test Track (featuring Cruella De Vil, Little Mermaid to Test Track: The Musical, and the Villians Show to The Little Mermaid: Ursula's Curse.

Sounds legit.

Time will tell.

I find it really funny that apparently Disney who JUST released more information on this attraction also quitely decided to cut it despite (presumably) it already being filmed and most work already being done.

Exactly!!!!

I don’t know about all that but you are on the right track

I really wish people would stop engaging.

Of course, I'm talking about how much I hate Valentines Day this Friday. That's all I mean.

Those continuing to engage don't come out looking too... shall we say... charming.

 

[JEANYLASER]

I don't know if the attraction will be good or fail for Disney's Animal Kingdom.

 

[The Leader of the Club]

I don't know if the attraction will be great or fail for Disney Animal KIngdom.

I feel like it won’t be either. Probably won’t be a WDI masterpiece that you have to do every time you walk into the park, but it’ll probably be a big hit with families and give them a more positive experience than ITTBAB currently does.

I don’t suspect it will move the needle much either

 

[Brer Panther]

Zoboomafoo?

You mean Zoo-boomafoo?

 

[TheMaxRebo]

I don't know if the attraction will be good or fail for Disney's Animal Kingdom.

I think a slight benefit as right now not many people do ITTBAB and often don't even realize they are passing the entrance

This will be more of a destination, at least while it is new .... not saying will have huge waits but at least *some wait*

at a minimum it will get more people to check it out and appreciate the detail in the queue area/base (roots) of the Tree of Life

The elephant in the room seems to be that, through a combination of stifling management philosophy and a simple lack of talent, Disney World’s script writing has been absolutely miserable for a long time. GoG is an incoherent embarrassment, Tiana is written at a preschool level, the Bears redo is totally devoid of humor and characterization, FoP preshow is the subject of near-universal mockery, etc. I don’t see any reason to believe WDW is capable of producing not one but two quality 4D shows (one of which is replacing one of the best written attractions in the resort’s history).

 

[jmuboy]

I do not think the Muppet Vision Replacement will be 3D. I know very little info is out in public yet 9and maybe Disney is still finalizing plans themselves). I honestly think the 2nd attraction / show in the Monsters area its going to be some sort of re-tooling of the Laugh Floor concept placed in a theater that looks alot like a Muppet Theater.

Yeah, I would be absolutely shocked if either show was better or even equal to their predecessors. I'm just praying they are at least decent lol.

Yea but we need to see the results first before we can say things like that.

Disney is for sure finalizing plans. Laugh floor will not be what is in discussion.

 

[JEANYLASER]

I can't hardly wait!

 

[SilentWindODoom]

Wow... It's honestly kinda sweet to see people who have been on both sides of the arguments I've followed over the last few years unite against a common enemy. It brings a tear to my eye.

It’s gonna be hard for the Muppet Vision replacement to live up to that show. It’s time has come though. Excited for the door coaster, big Monsters fan.

Muppets getting Aerosmith softens the blow for me despite never riding.

As someone who loves MuppetVision and hates roller coasters, replacing MuppetVision with a roller coaster and then saying "Don't worry. The Muppets will live on in a roller coaster." is little comfort.

Do you think the lion king show would have been replaced by Zootopia? @TrainsOfDisney

Oh interesting question! I doubt it, Lion King has remained a very popular IP. Even when they built avatar they moved the entire lion king show - something that is rarely done in the days of replacements.

We saw the Circle of Life go in Epcot.

How the hell do you justify Zootopia in Africa?

The Lion King complex is off to the side in a little sub area that could easily be separated into a different sub-land between Africa and Pandora.

Obviously if they go by the calendar then they have only Dec 21st through the 31st to open it it in "technical winter 2025"

There's always the ultimate surprise of February and March.

Also, for the record, Zootopia was an absolute crap film that only gets worse the more you think about it.

For instance…the mention of the existence of a “skunk butt rug” means that Nick the Fox is essentially Zootopia’s answer to either Ed Gein.

Or…Buffalo Bill?

Wow... I've never fully thought that one through. Although overall there's some level of edge in the film considering the other adult works that were inspiration. The two works that immediately come to mind as inspiring it were rated R and TV-MA.

Hopper is sadly in a terrible shape right now. Arms are not moving at all, the figure itself was barely moving around.

Not to mention it sounds alot like that Spacey Fella.

Fun fact, Kevin Spacey did not voice Hopper in the attraction, it was Andrew Stanton.

Well, I bet he doesn't pull that impression out at parties anymore.
