Posted it around Christmas in the Spirit's thread, IIRC. From people in the show. If you want to stay up on this stuff, you're hanging out at the wrong bars after you get off work in Celebration...

Nope, I want new wait time signs. Seriously, we just got new park maps. What more do you guys want. I mean, really, the park already has 6 rides! That's plenty. Throw in a couple of new highly themed trash cans, maybe a bench or 2 and we're good to go!

I don't really trust MiceAge much when it comes to WDW. Their sources seem to be from DLR anyway and their WDW info always tends to be dismissive or portraying things in a less positive light.
Note: I'm not saying that they are necessarily "wrong" about WDW, but I think their tendancy is to take any inside info about WDW and portray it in the worst possible light in their articles. In this instance, I strongly suspect that more Star Wars will be coming to WDW at some point, much like it will be in DLR, but it's possible that they have more/different issues to work through at WDW than at DLR which MiceAge is characterizing as "cancelled" as opposed to other possibilities.

This. I can't really say much because I do not follow MiceChat, but every time I follow a link to one of their updates from here, they have something negative to say about WDW 99.9% of the times (I am not referring to Kevin Yee, of course). I am not sure if I should believe what they are reporting or not. They certainly do not give a good impression to a WDW fan (and I am absolutely aware of how many things are wrong at WDW, but I also am aware of what's wrong at DLR).

Unfortunately, "insiders" are wrong or uninformed more often than not in terms of Disney Imagineering now. People harped and said that guy was right when Carsland was supposedly coming to DHS, no announcement of fart about that at all... I doubt anything pertinent is being posted at Miceage just based on the fact no one has been right about anything in years. believe what you will from whom, but facts are on my side on this one.
Disney doesn't have to build at WDW, they have absolutely no competition in Florida, attendance numbers alone proves that beyond a shadow of a doubt. People can and will jump on bandwagons, but facts are facts.
Jimmy Thick- Patience they say is a virtue.

Nice theory... if the world started in 2011 - You ignore everything that happened prior to those instances.
Avatar is unique because it was a pet project by the CEO.. vs an organic project developed inhouse.

Then why are they building Avatar? And why all the money spent on My Magic+? If Disney has no competition they shouldn't need to spend huge amounts of money on these improvements.

Are you are liberty to expand on that comment?
Fant is only mothballed in Paris. Not dead.
Besides, two problems.
One - EDLSCA own it. If an American park wanted it they would have to literally buy it outright and pay for shipping.
Two - the electrical systems were converted to charge from 230v AC when it arrived in France. I'm no electrician but I know this was a huge and not inexpensive job.

Or your computer screen due to you spitting out the jack and coke all over it after reading some of these posts?
That's the problem. Many more attractions are in the works. If they get built is another matter. Monsters Coaster. Maelstrom overhaul. Country Bears overhaul. UOE overhaul. Imag4. Proper Space Mountain. All planned, all proposed. And all sat on a shelf collecting dust.
Mid 80s.... American Journeys, Morocco, Living Seas, Laserphonic Fantasy, IllumiNations, Skylaidescope, Surprise In the Skies, Norway....
Oh, and the whole D-MGM complex and surrounding resort area development. I suppose you could add Pleasure Island in at the end too. And the Grand Floridian. And the Caribbean Beach Resort.

Wait ... are you mentioning the Monsters Coaster as something that WAS planned and NOT built or as something that IS CURRENTLY STILL planned and NOT built?
Basically, is there still a sliver of hope for that seeing that light of day?

How dare us think that a $100/day theme park should be about rides. And the last par of you post is simply hyperbole stirred with a straw man.
Depends. It keeps popping up on the radar but is nowhere near the middle of the list let alone the top. It's changed more than once, I saw the complete blueprints for it and they were from 2008. Six years ago now and still nothing.

I believe it was proposed for where "Hot Set" is besides Midway Mania ... but ... when Bob Iger goes we may have someone willing to fight the board for actual investment in WDW...
