I think the difference is that the jokes in Aladdin mostly came from the Genie who would know pretty much everything. Robin Williams’ performance also helped a lot.

You beat me to it. I think Robin Williams execution has a lot to do with it. And maybe just a little bit of bias since we were kids when we first watched.

The Lion King's references to pop culture actually are annoying

The jokes, impersonations and references also tended to be funny and tasteful. There was no cringey stuff about Twitter or reality tv stars. The Genie in the Aladdin show at DCA was pretty bad in that regard.

I think the only people that care and/or would compare are fans like us. The Millions of park goers that go to either DCA or IOA likely won't compare or for that matter won't care all that much.

Yea for the most part and many probably don’t even know that a Spiderman attraction exists at IOA. But many fans and the industry will compare. The biggest question and the only one Disney cares about is will the comparison drive someone to go to IOA/ USO instead of DCA/ DLR and the answer is no. It’ll just be one small victory amongst a bunch of other losses to Disney. But if they keep up with the Pixar Piers and half @ss efforts then maybe eventually...

Anyway, it would be nice if they tried to impress us again... at least at DCA. It’s been hot garbage since 2012 minus the Grizzly Peak airfield project.

relating to a comment made earlier. you have to wonder about people who even compare the spider-man to transformers rides. spider-man does such a fantastic job at blending physical with projections. transformers is like looking out some concrete parkade with a giant robot constantly in your face. it is not even a comparison.

I have never ridden Spider-Man but considering people’s affinity for it I can’t understand how it’s constantly compared to the hot garbage that is Transformers

They are both the same ride system, it’s like comparing The Little Mermaid to The Haunted Mansion. They both have the same ride system, but The Little Mermaid is nowhere as good as the Haunted Mansion.

I actually like Transformers: The Ride quite a bit. It has some really impressive action and the visual effects are very impressive but Spider-man is on a whole different level with it's sets and practical effects. It really is jaw dropping in person. Whatever Disney has in store for their Spidey ride I can't see it ever coming close to what Universal did with theirs.

How big is it in scale? I don’t understand why they couldn’t do something similar... if they cared to put in the time, money and resources.

It never existed.

There was a Disney patent for a pendulum 'coaster' and fanboys attached the idea of a Spider-Man ride to it. But, there are many, many Disney patents that have never been realized into an attraction and there never was a rumor from any reliable insider to say that that patent was indeed for a Spider-Man ride.

BTW: The Buzz shooter in MK, being an omnimover is a high capacity ride. But, we don't know the type of shooter the Spider-Man ride will be. Laser guns, flashlight, screenz, far off targets, MiB... dunno yet.

It did exist, the patent itself labeled the idea being used with tarzan or spiderman

"One goal in designing the ride system was to deliver an experience similar to what it would feel like to be with Tarzan or a similar character swinging between trees of a jungle on a vine or with Spider-Man or a similar character swinging on webs between buildings as you move down streets of a city. [The ride is] intended to have swinging sensation provided while also having forward travel along a ride path in a direction of travel and for the swinging sensation to feel thrilling and fun."​

More than 1 reliable source has stated TDA sent WDI back to the drawing board when it came to the attractions for marvel land dca due to capacity concerns. I'm not saying this meant it was a thousand percent happening or confirmed and I full well understand how patents are made and their uses, but the idea is not as goobly gook or made from thin air from fan boys as you intended.

And on more than 1 reliable source has stated TDA sent anaheim back to the drawing board when it came to the attractions for marvel land dca due to capacity concerns.

I stand corrected, then, WRT attaching the Spider-Man idea to it.

I'll concede that the performance is what made it less awkward, but let's also remember this happened in 1991 when there were no such things as Twitter, Reality TV stars, OR the Internet as we know it. Which just causes one to wonder if Robin Williams' Genie had been recorded today, would we still view his references and impressions in the same light?

Anyways...this has nothing to do with Marvel Construction.

Yep, I was about to say that those things didn't exist in the early 90s so there was no possibility of it being referenced. That being said I don't think Robin Williams would've went for that kind of bottom of the barrel material. Impressions of actual celebrities, talk show hosts and other comedians were his thing.

Anyways...this has nothing to do with Marvel Construction.

Yeah, but there's nothing exciting about Marvel land. Yawn.

Disney isn't trying to impress us fans, or even the industry critics. Its the 18+ Million yearly park goers that come to DLR, most of which are locals, they care about. For a majority of locals Disney is life, they are "locked-in". Meaning that most aren't likely traveling across country to go to IOA and going on Spider-Man, or as you said even know it exists. So will be less likely to compare the two or be driven into the arms of Universal because of it.

As long as it doesn't drive the "locked-in" locals away, its a victory for Disney. Basically as long as the yearly numbers don't go down, Disney has nothing to worry about.

What a waste of one of the most iconic characters ever. Seriously? An interactive shooter? What a joke.

I guess it could be worse...

If we have to have a shooter, can't we base it on the Punisher?

I just want the Spidey ride to be based on the 60's cartoon, feature reeeeeeally cheap animation and have the theme song blared at full volume throughout, even during e-stops.
