Japan was actually built with an attraction building. It was to house something that was to work like a reverse carousel of progress with guest sitting in the middle and rotating to views around them.
Mad Tea Party works well for Alice, imo. Of course it's execution varies between parks but overall it's a solid concept that represents the film.
He's not talking a real regular carousel but if they'd gone with a real carousel, it wouldn't have even needed to have been hidden.
Partially the company, partially the guests. You'd be surprised how much guests don't know even with the level of marketing Disney does. Disney sets a high expectation (or used to) with everything it does so someone that doesn't follow them close enough just thinks it'll be amazing.
I had a post about that a year or more ago. I would prefer a dark ride but if there isn't much space it doesn't even have to be in a carousel. As another commented, you could be single file with projection mapping on either side of you. You go up and down with the images moving past.
I imagine after all this time its valuable storage space that would need relocating to a new building somewhere else so doubt its likely to ever see any use sadly.
Yeah I had that exact idea years ago on here (probably others have as well) a dark internal carousel with a rotating exterior with scenes or screens.
They do like their tea. (The stereotype that no doubt helped in pitching the concept)
A MIB style attraction with cybermen and dalec invasion would make for an awesome attraction. Too bad disney would never jump at it. Universal would if they could but no one seems to be ready to put down a serious interest in it.
