Rumor Another DHS Closure?

[DAK1928]

A new ride could do the same thing. But I do agree it's hard to see them closing something else down.

It certainly could, but it'd be close to impossible for Disney to simultaneously complete SW:GE and launch an Indy E-Ticket in the next 2 years.

With the surge of visitors arriving at DHS in 2019 for SW:GE, this is a great marketing opportunity for fans to also reconnect with the franchise prior to Indy 5 releasing in 2020.

Yeah but, they missed an opportunity with the 4th one...

Honestly with the stunt show....How much second unit footage do they really need for Raiders from 37 years ago....

I just skimmed through 6 pages of a guessing game. Thanks OP

Pick most expensive to operate attraction at DHS and that will be the one closing. So Fantasmic or Indy

Not if 'the numbers' arent looking good as thats all that matters these days

I'm curious how would they do an Indy boat ride that didn't resemble Jungle Cruise in many ways (more snakes maybe?)

One word...

I mean, they could, theoretically. But they won't. But movies and rides don't usually go hand in hand anyway so ... lol

If universal can build Transformers in 10 months, Disney could put up an E-Ticket in the same amount of time I bet. Granted, the attraction would be mostly screens.

DILLY DILLY

That would make sense, As such will never happen at WDW

Having a stunt show that breaks the fourth wall in an area that is meant to be an earnest entry into the world of Indiana Jones does not make sense.

Transformers is probably my second favorite ride at Universal, but they would never do something like that at Disney and it has nothing to do with screens. It’s just a big warehouse which sorta fits in the area of the park it’s in, but it’s still pretty ugly and would never fly at Disney. Sometimes Disney goes to the other extreme with elaborate rock work and scenery taking priority over actual ride experience (FLE).

I’d rather see them wait until SW opens to close the stunt show and then build a whole new Indy land. E-ticket ride, restaurant, shops and maybe a show or a few minor attractions. I know it’s waiting forever but I’d rather have something really well done and wait then quickly cram a great ride into a warehouse that’s an eye sore for the whole park.

People enjoy this?

every single time and I'm 28 so the old guard argument is null and void.

 

[matt9112]

So then an Indy ride would be a Jurassic Park ride without the dino's? OK, I can see that, but, what would the overall theme of the scenery be that we are going to witness on the rest of the ride?

theme wise more like journey to Atlantis at SeaWorld? lots of dark show scenes...ahmmm a couple dark show scenes that build up to a drop maybe have a second small drop somewhere.

Agreed. I'll be going tomorrow and am definitely making time for Muppets.

I'm sure we're not counting Path of the Jedi as "major," but I'm honestly shocked it's lasted as long as it has

Who else wants Sounds Dangerous back? Anyone?

I finally saw Fantasmic for the first time in March. I enjoyed the show but couldn’t help thinking this is a lot of space that is only used part time. Most of our spring trips the show isn’t every night. Not saying I want the show to end but I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened since there are other fireworks in the park and Disney has used TOT for projection show.
