Even worse....No one remembers that movie, and that is an excuse for bare bones theming. Expect almost no animatronics and mostly static features
There's just too many thrill rides now everything is so big the lines get so long! It's like you can't just find a relaxing ride anymore everything is a coaster or a next gen thingamabob or a gigantic footprint with 3 figures and 30 screens, but it moves fast and makes flashy lights so you think there's more to it. add that to the hyper complicated irritating reservation systems and lightning lanes and you got the theme park equivalent of a sensory overload during a bad acid trip. Meanwhile Universal is giving us smooth organic shrooms

I think this post sums up EXACTLY what the problem with disney parks is and WHY they are losing attendance.
I think this sums up exactly what's wrong with modern disney parks. They used to be both about ip and about cool experiences that ignite an interest in history, science, etc but now in the age of the dumb brain dead phone zombie entertainment, we are left with all flash and no substance

I don’t blame the customer though… if anything more guests care about the parks now, than at anytime in the past.
People watch documentaries on imagineering, and look up random facts about which park has which rides.

And All I keep hearing from people I show the old rides to is "OMG I wanna ride that so bad!!?? Why did they get rid of that? I really missed out!! this is the reaction everytime I show it to someone too young or just that didn't go back then

Oh and speaking of that..... quoting myself here, but I think that the Gen X people that run Disney now are not sure how sophisticated and knowledgeable younger people have become thanks to immediate access to information.
My friend joked that
Kids of today would appreciate the disney world of yesterday and kids of yesterday may appreciate the disneyworld of today? Prob not but it sounds profound

Completely nonsensical leap in logic, but 'kay.

What I mean by that is, While yes the rockwork is impressive, we already have thunder mountain. So that's not adding anything new. So what is the expirience? Is it just a bunch of shacks with cheap looking metal roofs and an entirely outdoor track? I mean I've seen the cars section of Disney studio adventure whateverland and it was basically just that. The toy story land there was so minimal I literally felt like the little disney specific tugging on the loop thing with the seatbelt felt out of place because I forgot that I wasn't at six flags for a moment.
I look at the artwork I don't see any indoor segments, that means it's probably just thrills and not magic.

Carsland at DCA is absolutely fantastic. It is a beautiful slam-dunk design project based on a location we have seen in films. Whimsical, colorful and full of eye candy. The shops and restaurants are all beautifully tied into the whole.
This project is based on a place nobody knows, in a location that is at odds with everything around it... I would rather see them delete Cars from the plans entirely... if TSI and the ROA absolutely have to go, turning the current Frontierland into a gorgeously themed, early 20th century New Orleans Riverbend area would tie Tiana into the park in a meaningful way, then scrap the Cars crap for a brand new immersive Frontierland...new additional attractions, shops and shows...A Coco themed Mexican village, and an old abandoned Mining operation at the end of town that creates the transition portal to Villain's the Villain's lair...through an old mine shaft into a whole new world. It could be stunning, still use IP, and create a thematic bridge to take you from the Historic Riverside setting that is current Frontierland all the way to Villain's land... Put the Cars Road Rally in DHS or where the current Speedway sits...

Absolutely perfect and well thought out!
Never gonna happen.
We must remember who we are dealing with.

I can't blame Disney here. The masses want the E's. People today aren't planning trips to Disney to ride the new clam shell.
Personally, I would gladly trade out an E for 2 B's or C's.

I cant blame Disney for creating more E ticket rides but (in my opinion) I blame Disney for not doing true expansions on new, undeveloped land, as WDW has the blessing of size.
They probably would if the newest clamshell level attraction ride was not over a decade old between builds.

Look at the concept art. It’s rock work (the one thing Disney seems eager to build) and one scene with two AAs. We’ll likely get a bunch of static figures as well.
Losing RoA isn’t great, but it’s not a disaster because it will continue to exist in other Disney parks. The problem is losing RoA for an unimpressive Autopia-style ride based on a direct-to-video quality movie, all while ruining the theming of an entire land and clashing three of the resorts most iconic structures. If we were losing RoA for a well-integrated blockbuster attraction… well, adding attractions outright is always better, but that wouldn’t be nearly as atrocious.

Can this undeveloped land actually still be built on or have rules/regulations/laws changed or up to date surveys proved it is not suitable? Walt's statement about the blessing of size was most likely an off the cuff remark that could easily have been incorrect when talking about MK.

You have no idea where it will be like that. Also the concept art does show the cars going in and out of places so it seems like there will be some indoor show scenes.

I’m fairly certain you circled the load/unload and a tunnel. If this was going to be an AA extravaganza, the art would show that. The material shown at this stage is a best-case scenario that will be cost-cut significantly - remember the very impressive Guardians of the Galaxy preshow art shown much later in the process?

No one knows what it will really look like when its open, including Disney.
I understand that, but Disney should have know folks were going to analyze what they release and try to make sense of it.

Something I just thought of… Disney used to use challenges - the stretching room at haunted mansion and the drops on pirates were created to get under the railroad tracks.
What if they could have built a magical Marigold bridge that carried guests over the rivers of America and into the land of the dead. That would be crazy cool! So many possibilities.
