Spirit, are there any plans for DL's Tomorrowland after our current SW "experience" becomes obsolete and redundant? Thank you!C'mon, we both know that no one reads here and no one Tweets or sub-tweets or sub-sub-hoagie tweets about what is posted here. And certainly no one ever feels the need to credit me, my information or the site when news is broken here. Much better to Tweet in a vacuum with people who always agree with you. The fan community is truly its own worse enemy and I have been told this by a few big 'names' in the biz.
...maybe The Twilight Zone IS the Bermuda Triangle...Not to forget the twilight zone is a phrase as common in everyday use as the Bermuda Triangle.
One more quickee (because fanbois know Spirited ones are the best kind!):
Remember when Disney had to pay Coke a boatload of money after Shendi on its own went out and decided that Pepsi would be the official beverage supplier of SDL?
Well, Disney's Legal department just finished paying off Coca-Cola to the tune of tens of millions of dollars because Coke products won't be sold in Star Wars Land, since Coke isn't available in that Galaxy, Far, Far Away. (I always assumed it was RC Cola with maybe some Faygo and Snapple thrown in ... whiny brat Kylo loves his Snapple!) I get and appreciate that Disney wants to copy UNI and the WWoHP. But that worked because all of those drinks and treats and even candies were things that J.K. Rowling had created. They existed.
First Order burgers with black buns are just plain lame (and they sound and look disgusting, so I will not go near that stuff). This is just dumb. Because there isn't a galaxy of SW treats that people know, love and associate with the films. I am guessing Iger has called in the cast of The Chew to create items. Of course, this also sets a bad precedent because it makes people think that the SWE is different or more special than plain old DL.
Anyway, now Legal is working on Visa because WDI doesn't want the Visa logo visible on any SWE cash register or restaurant bill folder, despite Disney's sponsorship contract that says Visa gets that branding privilege. WDI is really taking the story and theme that seriously, no matter the cost. Some might say they are taking things way too seriously.
You're already forgetting the "Dark ride the size of Toontown featuring around 150 animatronics, half of them being Stormtroopers"I'm amazed that this is the sort of thing they choose to spend money on, instead of actual entertainment and attractions... I think the "impressive themed land" concept has now officially gotten out of hand
Today is a different world... the amplifier factor of social media and the way people consume news changes the volume and speed of things dramatically. Just ask any business if they behave differently now in the era of Yelp, facebook, google, etc.
The trick is to how to get the ground swell in your favor.
If I hear another person ask whether anyone remembers The Twilight Zone anymore, i'll need to have my palm surgically removed from my face...
It was, is and will always be an incredible show. It was insanely popular for its time and has retained its status as a beloved classic over the years. Not to mention it has held up infinitely better than almost all other TV shows (not just compared to ones from its own time). It's widely considered one of the best (some would even say THE best) TV shows ever created, and yes people remember and adore it.
Yes.
Let's present our case to the outside world: 'A movie park modernises a 25 year old ride from a black and white tv era show to 2010's biggest cinematic universe'.
Would we get anything but weird looks?
Steve Jobs sums up the current state of Disney with a Xerox analogy.
That's the thing - people say "Oh, today's generation has probably never even seen the Twilight Zone show" - yeah, so what? Not everyone has seen the GotG movie, either. But ANYONE can grasp and appreciate the concept of a haunted Hollywood hotel. That's a cool idea that excites and attracts people of all languages, nationalities and generations. TDO would have to be absolute fools to rid themselves of something so universally understood in favor of an IP that's only relevant to you if you've seen the movie it's based on, which automatically limits its appeal. And since DHS is a hodge-podge of IPs anyway, why rid it of one of the best-realized ones? This move to instill Marvel into DHS as cheaply as possible and destroy something so good to do it just makes Disney look bad. It cheapens the "brand", if you will. Do the people at TDO have any sensibilities at all? Are they truly that oblivious and shallow-brained?

Wait, is this sarcasm or did I miss something?
I thought all the new star wars stuff was going to be screen-based.

Well that's encouraging if proves to be true.Nope. He isn't kidding.
