Well we do have Pandora in Animal Kingdom.Given the scale would match, and there are water planets...would you support a Star Wars land in TDS? Id been mulling over the rumor of one being placed on the parking lot behind Space, and I can almost justify TDS being a better spot, assuming a proper theme.

I was on the other side of the world when D23 hit and couldn't have been happier. Just a droolfest combined with cosplay and the feeling of being at a giant fundamentalist religious convention all praying NOT at the altar of Walt, but the altar of Iger. Nope. I would guess that beyond a little upset about GMR and Energy closing, which we all knew as far back as last year, by a few WDW fans ... and the Pixar Pier plans (explain how that one is going to work, please) and lack of Marvel plans (for very good reason) by some DLR fans, most are deliriously happy and think that this is some new Golden Age of WDI and their beloved parks.
It's not. Not even close. Not even same universe.
Iger has publicly stated that the parks are to focus on established franchises.But one point they made that I appreciated is about when do you think we'll get original ride ideas again? Like is everything going forward mandated to be based on an IP? Is there any potential for original/themed/land specific attractions coming anytime soon?
To piggyback off of @lazyboy97o when they pitched the Mickey ride as their next "original ride" in the same vein as Small World, Haunted Mansion, and Pirates that should've given you your answer.Yeah I am not sure about these D23 announcements. I read the excitement online but I didn't quite understand it.
What is funny is a friend of mine started a podcast with some other people, Up Late w/ The Disney Crew, and they just posted a D23 reaction show and it's the first podcast/reviews I've seen that are mostly critical of the D23 announcements. It was pretty refreshing. It means their podcast won't last long but refreshing nonetheless.

Good to have you back Spirit. I find my abscenses are tied to yours.
Sigh... any chance this will change once Iger is outta here? Or is that wishful thinking on my part...To piggyback off of @lazyboy97o when they pitched the Mickey ride as their next "original ride" in the same vein as Small World, Haunted Mansion, and Pirates that should've given you your answer.
And more proof that Disney does not 'get' the online universe.

George Lucas grew up at Disneyland and I believe he was there opening day. In many ways he took the baton from Walt. Walt did not want his park to become a museum.
Therefore SWGE is a perfect fit at Disneyland.
And what does this have to do with Disney exactly?
Photobucket is owned by Photobucket, Inc. (formerly Ontela, Inc.) and not any portion of The Walt Disney Company.Photobucket was purchased BY DISNEY. Kind of makes it relevant to Disneys online strategy. The one that says 'streaming is a fad, cable and broadcast is the future'
4 million? LOL!!!!!!!
Isn't that just the Guardians of the Galaxy Epcot excuse, but with a real person?George Lucas grew up at Disneyland and I believe he was there opening day. In many ways he took the baton from Walt. Walt did not want his park to become a museum.

I know Joel Manby, and he is working very hard to NOT let that happen.
Time will tell though, they need to up their game in theming. Bare-Coasters (good for SeaWorld, bad for Disney), D-ticket dark rides (Antarctica & Journey To Atlantis), and epic animal shows/exhibits like the penguins & sea lion show is what SeaWorld needs more of. If they are to do more of this: A.K.A. one of the worst rides ever built for its purpose, then they are setting themselves up for failure.
But if they work on increasing their budget to start truly competing with Dis/Uni that is their best interest. It's not, nor will it ever be at the DIS/UNI standard, but there is a solid market for a SeaWorld that costs less but has slightly less theming (it is way below currently). It just needs more decent theming throughout.
Money is the obvious problem.
At Disney now, and have to say I loved the update to Soarin. The transitions were brilliant, the images were crisp, and I felt it was a huge improvement over the original. Looking forward to Pandora tomorrow.
This is someone who would praise broken faucets that sprayed everyone with sewage as the Sheriff continuing the legacy of Walt.Lucas took nothing from Walt. They are not even in the same universe (no pun intended).
Walt's statement about Disneyland not becoming a museum is so misunderstood. Your post is the perfect example of that. "Well, Walt said it, so that's the green light anyone needs to make changes to any Disney theme park!".
It's gone from average to unmissable for us, that's how much we rated the new film. The transitions were a major criticism we had of the old film, as well as the clarity of the images.
