The Hollywood bowl has a capacity of something like 8,000 people. But if I stuck those 1200 people per hour doors on it that doesn’t mean only 1200 people could ever be inside. It just means it’d take 7 hours to fill it up with no one leaving.

We’re talking about a rides total capacity vs it’s THRC - or throughput. So for example Disneyland and Disney’s worlds pirates have similar THRCs or the amount of people per hour because they share the same ride system. 3200 people per hour. However - Disneyland’s is twice the length and therefore has a capacity that’s is double WDW. It takes 800 people off the streets vs 400.

No offense, but I don't think the Hollywood Bowl is a good example because its designed to be filled to its full capacity every time its used and hourly figures don't really come into play.

We're (or at least I've been) talking about a per-hour number, not its total capacity. Obviously, if my store could hold 1,200 people an hour, at the end of an 8 hour work day, I'd have served 9,600 people. But like a store and unlike the Hollywood Bowl, an attraction never reaches its "total capacity" at one time.

I've drawn all over this like a crazy person. The more I look at the concept art, the more I'm convinced that they are seemingly pretty drastically altering the layout.

Starting from the left of the image it looks like the entrance has been shifted over with the entrance pathway abutting the building. I think the prominent theory is that the Bugs land building will be extended - but the one caveat is maybe it is being extended out its front and not its side throwing out my path shift theory.

The other important thing is that we literally can't see anything beyond the SpiderMan attraction... so we really cannot even seen the land.

Will the other pathways be shifted? Were exactly will food and beverage and shops be located in that chunk? Will a building be somewhere in the orange area? Will a big building go basically to the North in the yellow patch? Will they shift the other entrance by Mission breakout to facilitate the eventual access to the Timon plot?


I demand a D23 model.

According To Jim Hill (so take this with a grain of salt) it’s a catapult for guests who are so disappointed with Marvel Land to get back to Disneyland faster.

Beats walking.

So that silhouette that we thought was Spider Man is actually one of the lucky guests who's getting to skip the line at the turnstile?

Hahah. Precisely.

They dress you up as one of your favorite Spider-Man's from the Spider-Verse. I'm holding out for Spider-Ham....

Wrong Marvel.

Wrong Marvel.

I’m not sure what you mean wrong Marvel, when I say Spider-Verse I’m not talking about Sony’s extended Spider-Man movie universe that they are creating films for, such as Venom. I’m speaking about the Spider-Man comics story line about the multiple universes with different versions of Spider-Man. This story line started in 2014 after Marvel became part of Disney. I guess if you want to limit Marvel Land to only MCU current content, where currently there has only been one Spider-Man, but I’m not. I think Marvel Land should include all Marvel content from all sources including the MCU and the comics. Sony has no say over how Disney can use Spider-Man in the comics or in their theme parks, as far as I'm aware, only how he is used in the films.

Speaking of the MCU, one could make an arguement that since Spider-Man is eligible to now be in the MCU and that all new Spider-Man films will be co-produced by both Marvel Studios and Sony, that it can include any version of Spider-Man from the comics, including Spider-Ham. However I say this not being completely up on the actual Marvel/Sony contract, but again I think its just limited to films not theme parks. I’m not as well versed on that contract as I am the Marvel/Uni contract.

 

[Disney Irish]

Actually I'm thinking about this more and more. Is the MCU only going to be limited to Earth-616 or can it include other alternate universes in the larger Marvel extended universe. I think someone may have brought this up before, but can't remember.

Theoretically using Ant-Man as a jumping off point, going into the quantum realm could lead to an alternate universe. This could end up being a backdoor way they introduce characters from the Fox/Marvel movies into the MCU (even though those characters exist in Earth-616).

Pulling this back to Marvel Land, this could also be a way to get other characters from the Marvel universe into the lands. Just a thought....

I guess a Spidey shooter is no worse than a tired 3D film. I just was hoping for something better.

 

[TP2000]

we have a rendering from NYT! Look very futuristic! DCA has a version of Tomorrowland.

That looks like a dramatically lit version of an Irvine office park.

Is that it? Are we aupposed to be excited about Office Park aesthetics??? Is Bob Chapek drunk???

Why this mansion doesn't look decrepit or haunted at all! Where's all the rotten wood, the peeling paint? Is Walt drunk?

The mansion was never supposed to look haunted from the outside.

Was there any doubt?

 

[TP2000]

No, but I'm surprised at how blatant it's gotten.

This looks like a mish-mash of modernist corporate campuses in Irvine, like the Ingram Micro headquarters just off the San Diego Freeway with those weird cooling towers...

Plus a dollop of generic Irvine Retail Lifestyle Center (aka Shopping Center) thrown in...

And a healthy slather of an old Circuit City gobbed onto the end of it. With Spiderman flying overhead for no apparent reason.

If Bob Chapek isn't just drunk most of the time he's at work approving stuff, then what am I missing here? And how do I get an invite to that office party? I'm very good at mingling and I'm sure I could hold my own.

Just gonna add that towering over all of this is a fortress/powerplant/warehouse.

Westcot was proposed and we loved it, but Future World in Epcot always looks like an office park.

I thought the architecture was supposed to be California influenced. You certainly make that case.

 

[TragicMike]

What are the odds that the Spider-Man shooter ride will be using the pendulum technology we saw in the patents?

Not very high.

 

[Shigg. W. McGee]

What are the odds that the Spider-Man shooter ride will be using the pendulum technology we saw in the patents?

Slim to none. Sources suggest a re-utilization of the Midway Mania ride system.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Ugh, an office park. They should have taken the aesthetic of Mission: Breakout and extended it throughout the entire land.
