Not all of us are so pessimistic and some of us really want to see what is planned here. I’m sorry but I’m definitely not calling ROA, the “heart of the park”. And I don’t consider it an important part of learning about American history or anything. It’s a river. It represents some things but that’s not the main focus
It really kills the vibe of it being a magic kingdom, place with a river and boat going who knows where, place you can hang out at. Removes the scenery and staging. Adding cars makes it seem more amusement park.
This picture helps to show how much space is taken up by RoA. It's significant.
Interesting isn't it. Both official and unofficial discussion seems to only ever talk about it as Cars, with Villains not even getting a passing mention. I would not be in the slightest bit surprised if we don't see the usual and practically mandatory at this point axing of villains all together. Disney seems pretty good at announcing big things then by the time its finished its actually a tiny fraction of what was initially announced.
The current visible work is for both. The land clearing is to facilitate the entire MK project including cars and villains
I understand that, I was simply responding to those saying Disney is quietly cancelling Villains.
Remember what u find exciting may be very different to how others see it
I will keep bookmarks of all the posts of those who are disappointed when Villians isn't as amazing as planned.
You know what else it shows is how much space there is without touching the Island or that section of the RoA.
I for one couldn't give a fossil fart about Villains, but if Cars were like the one in Disneyland I would be shouting from the roof in favor. But, I know that many like the villains and I have no objection to them building their own land, what I do mind is having my favorite spot in MK, the area around the riverboat and the separation it makes with HM. I have been seeing that view for over 40 years now and it just doesn't get old. It is a huge part of the image of MK as much as the monorail, railroad and the castle. They are doing a massive disservice to future generations to alter that area. Close Tom's Island or lose the boat and just build a bridge over to it to eliminate the only expense that place generates and that is moving people to and from it. The riverboat ride lost a whole lot of worthiness when they stopped having the cabin burning. And since operating that riverboat all day cut sharply into the bonus bucket for executives it is understandable that they want to get rid of that. However, they might soften the blow because they say they need the island for the new plans they just, I'm sure regretfully he said sarcastically, need to sink the boat to do that.
Thank you. It's a cement "river" with a boat on a track that's been going in the same circle for 50 years.
It's as big as fantasy land. Using the space to gain some real capacity (assuming they actually build 4-5 attractions total) is a win.
