I don't think many people would mind something like a carousel along the lines you describe going in somewhere. I think the criticism about this proposal is that it would have cost a fortune and the build up with the street facades and pre-shows were way too overblown for a simple teacup attraction.
Serious thought would have been needed with the acoustics.
If you're referring to that big "spaaaunch" noise the teacups make as they begin to come to a stop, that's not an inherent noise and the other Mad Tea Partys around the world do not make them.
its not that disney doesnt know how to build classic fantasyland style rides, its that laws wont let them. DIsney could never build the rides in fantasyland as they are today
What laws are you referring to?
It's not difficult to discern the implication. @J4546 means that things like the fire code, standards for ADA compliance, etc. have evolved over time, and what was acceptable when the original Fantasyland rides were built may no longer be kosher for new builds. Older structures that met the standards of their time are often grandfathered in. That said, I have no idea if what was said is actually true and to what extent codes have changed, but the thrust of the argument is pretty simple.Eh ?
I thought the question was whether or not they could cluster multiple small rides together in a similarly tight configuration, not whether they could generally construct a small ride. Though again, would be nice to know if the poster in question is speaking from a place of authority or supposition.
Just look at all of the space WorldShowPlace takes up….
It’s old, baseless supposition paraded about as fact because most people don’t know how to go about questioning it. Yes, regulations have changed that might not allow exact 1:1 duplication but to this day small dark rides are built in the US. A good example is the dark rides at LEGO[land] Discovery Centers.
Let us all continue to pray for its deletion when World Celebration opens.
Yes! That’s a good chunk of land that you could do a lot with
I was secretly hoping for that too but alas. If they could copy and paste from Disneyland mr toad to UK and Pinocchio to Italy it would make Epcot pretty well rounded for relatively cheap. The rides already exist, and bus bar attractions require extremely low cast count, if I recall correctly there’s usually only one cast member working the load area while monitoring the control panel. Seems like it could be a cheap win.
Typically you’d have 3-4 operational cast for a simple ride; greeter (optional), grouper, load and unload. Plus extras and breaks. Orlando would also need the typical; paid fastpass greeter(s) but even so like you said relatively cheap to install and run.
