Guess that just leaves JJ, the Soarin indoor Q and theatres as the only completely untouched areas in the whole park?

Like I said, it depends on where you set the bar. Zephyr is some new paint. Sun Wheel/etc. is both paint and ID. Soarin' is a different exterior and film. There are so many variables.

I’m taking completely unchanged.

Then zero, except possibly JJ.

But how long did anything at DL remain completely unchanged? There were constant tweaks and improvements, even when Walt was alive. By the time of the Tencennial, how much remained? Parts of Fantasyland? Astrojets? Flight to the Moon? Main St. transportation? And let's not forget the Guatemalan Weavers shop in Adventureland (an original lessee).

Technically the only true one is Jumping Jellyfish if you consider sign changes a change. The Golden Zephyr lost it's Paradise sign.

It took an excessive amount of time for them to rework the bakery tour. For so long it was such a time capsule. That "Maseca" kid was graduating from college before they decided to update it.

Right but i think it’s more interesting if take it to a more granular level like trees, shrubs and Soarins indoor Q

Ya but the sign is still the same one. Is the shmoozie's sign still the Same? I don't know.

And yes, they are still route 66 themed.

So is Rita' s the only thing left utterly and
completely unchanged?

I miss the sea serpent from world of motion being in the hollywood backlot

  • Marvel Land. Is planned to open with a "C Ticket" in the Bugs theater in 2020, but she doesn't know which one they landed on after the big Avengers E Ticket coaster was cancelled due to being hugely expensive and ridiculously low on rider capacity. She said there's a lady VP in TDA named Chris who hates that all WDI designs nowadays are big budget rides that have horrible ride capacity. She said that when Richard Nunis was running the Parks Division in the 1980's and 90's it was all about ride capacity, but the new crop of Imagineers are all 23 year old interns who never worked in Operations or middle aged celebrity Imagineers who sniff their noses at the lowly theme park operators and their bosses as they glide away in their Tesla to a swanky west LA home. She said the average salary at WDI could pay the salary of three or four theme park managers, and WDI currently is really out of touch with how theme parks operate. It's a big problem, but at least their visually impressive but operationally flawed Avengers coaster got cancelled just in the nick of time thanks to the work of the VP Chris and others who rallied around the glaring capacity problem. Marvel Land will be completed in phases that will stretch into the 2020's, but how much money it gets and how many rides get built will depend on Anaheim politics in 2019.

Thanks for the summary.

Glad to hear that this in-fighting came to a head just in time to ruin the plans for Marvel. What a relief. And with Disney essentially cutting ties with the city fiscally, you can essentially consider this to be the last "expansion" of DL/DCA. Which means I expect all future new rides to be replacements of old ones.

As I'm assuming based on previous reports that the future planned phases for Marvel necessitated additional expansion,I fully expect this C-ticket to be the first and last ride Marvel land gets.

I won't rule out other expansions get yet. There is still unused space in the DLR that can be used for expansions. Most public and most glaringly is the motorboat lagoon.

Tony Baxter unofficially confirmed in a podcast last month that there is other space not previously known by the public that can be used for expansion. So DLR is not done expanding just yet.
