That’s not the only connection between The Little Mermaid and Spider-Man. Christopher Daniel Barnes, the voice of Eric, is the voice of Spider-Man in Spider-Man: The Animated Series on which the ride’s art direction is based.
It varies but the ticket is usually going to come first because it sets an understanding of scale and scope for the ideas being considered. A firm budget doesn’t come until after Blue Sky and Concept Design when feasibility is studied and the project is officially green lit.
That is why Disney is stupid
Well, ok. The plan makes sense to me. Now, the execution of the plan might be a failure, but we’ll see.
I know the Incredicoaster doesn't really count because it was just a rollercoaster they added babies on sticks to, but that's a very family oriented movie that is a thrill attraction. It isn't a good ride but that's more of the execution of theme (hard to theme a rollercoaster meant to be a classic boardwalk coaster) but I think there are instances where a high thrill ride for a younger target audience could work. Something like Space Mountain thrill could work well for something like Spider-Man, I see young kids ride but it is also thrilling enough where some young kids (me in the past) are scared to ride. Honestly if it was a Spider-Man ride with that much thrill I would have convinced myself to power through to see Spider-Man
All those Princess and the Frog-loving kids are gonna be really disappointed when they don't make the height requirement for the rethemed Splash Mountain.
Self-awareness is the first step.
Not super new but this is a pretty nice overhead of the parks: http://www.skyimd.com/disneyland-ca...FtwSB5Ear6jK6NLw4mA8u62jHj51cMFIL8Wan70IpT26g
The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man has a minimum height requirement of 40" which makes it accessible to most 4 year olds.
See above.
40 inch height requirement, that's a 4 year old.
