40 years from now a new generation of posters are going to be decrying the re-theming of the Princess of the Frog ride into whatever it could be by then. The cycle goes on and on and on....
I wouldn't be surprised if Peter Pan's Flight or Dumbo get the axe. Gotta remove rides based on problematic source material.
I've personally heard absolutely nothing about bulldozing small world. I remember a couple years back they definitely wanted a FL expansion to replace magical map and the motor boat cruise area.. the theater footprint is big enough for a good sized show building.. Frozen was a big contender but nobody ever said anything about sw. Magical map had 5 year contracts that kept on getting renewed.. I believe they were waiting for their renewed contract to finish before jumping on a FL expansion. With the recent unfortunate news about the show never coming back, maybe a FL expansion is on the horizon? But also funds are tight and other projects like Splash are definitely taking priority at the moment. In my personal opinion, it seems so odd to focus on an already perfect FL when you have a rotting Tomorrowland withering away right next door... I wish that imagineering's energy/time/budget went into bettering the theme park experience as a whole, rather than jumping on IPs just for monetization.
Phew, I’m glad I can toss that rumor in the dumpster. Thanks for clearing that up. I completely agree with you there. It’s all about prioritizing what NEEDS to be fixed, and I definitely think our fantasyland is near perfection. Tomorrowland is a complete utter mess, and has been for the past couple decades or so. It’s incredibly sad. I also worry they’ll just shoehorn Tron into the current footprint of Autopia, FNSV and the old carousel theater. I strongly believe that’ll ruin the charm of the area, and we don’t need anymore clones. There is just too much potential in the area, and I wouldn’t want any of it to go to waste.
