Wrong. The difference is those parks were built right to begin with.

DCA had a questionable theme to begin with. But parts of the park were done very well. However that said there were parts that were not. Parts of Hollywood Pictures Backlot and and parts of Paradise Pier come to mine. But in anycase the park is really not that bad, no where near as bad as some (apparently you) want others to think.

I wouldn't compare WDSP and DCA. DCA is far better than WDSP. WDSP was built on the cheap. DCA was not built on the cheap any more so than AK or MGM. DCA has many problems but for the most part the park is solid and will continue to be developed. In ten years we won't even be having this discussion.

Sorry Im gonna have to disagree here. MGM and AK have unifying themes and alot of thought went into the theming and everything. DCA is a schitzophrenic mess and a dumping ground for lame WDW attractions.

Like I said. DCA had a questionable theme. But the lack of a "unifying theme" as you put it does not mean it was built on the cheap.

I would hardly call the WDW clones at DCA lame.

Sorry I'm gonna have to disagree here. I find DCA's theme much more coherent than that of the Disney-MGM Studios Current "theme."

I feel the definition of the word cheap (in this context)as being incomplete, or lack of attractions. When MGM opened you are right it had a theme (Movie Studio), but there was almost nothing to do. It was a nearly empty park for its first few years of existance. The same could be said for all of the Disney parks. Every one of them started with minimal attractions and were built up as needed or as time allowed.

Basically, GIVE IT TIME. The parks need to grow and mature. 2 years ago people on these boards were saaying how much AK stunk! Now all that is talked about is how cool it is, you have to see it at night, go ride EE, they need to extend the hours.

Stop the *itching and try to see the good these imagineers are doing.

What??? A mess?? Dumping ground?? Lets see.. They have TOT.. Soarin' .. Bugs life.. Well themed areas.. Electric Light parade.. Which are the lame WDW attractions you speak of??? Plus they have California Screamin.. Grizzley River.. All this and they are still very young.. Everyone has an opinion though..

Its tough to be a bug...Muppets 3D...a poor-mans version of Tower of Terror. Fliks fun fair is a joke and should be bulldozed.

Fliks fun fair is a joke and should be bulldozed.

Like I said, everyone has an opinion.. Did you ever think that Fliks Fun Fair may not have been directed at your age group??? I think I overheard a 3 year old saying the Golden Vine Winery should be torn down..

As Dubman said FFF was not directed at you. But either way you should still be able to appreciate the area. While I don't do any of the rides there I find the area very well themed and great for kids. Far better than it's Fantasyland counterparts if you ask me but thats a whole other thread.

It's tough to be a bug and Muppet Vision are far from lame. Guest reaction to both proves that. As for Tower I agree WDW's version is better than DCA's but the one in the west isn't that bad either.

Walt Disney wanted a theme park where children and parents could have fun TOGETHER not attractions that would seperate them. Rides are supposed to be built for all ages...for example I can enjoy Dumbo and Snow White but I cant enjoy heimlichs choo choo train.

 

[Epcot82Guy]

While I agree Walt wanted a total experience park, that is not what today's consumer wants, unfortunately. Therefore, places like FFF work because they are well themed. I do agree, however, that the balance is tipping. But, that seems more so in the MK parks than the others. Very little is left in the parks that appeal to adults mainly or only. So, to attack DCA is misguided IMHO. It should be against MK for importing SO MANY kids-only attractions.

If you can enjoy Dumbo but can't enjoy the attractions in FFF then the problem is not FFF if you know what I mean.

Do you have a child that you need to enjoy Heimlich's Chew Chew Train with?

You just contradicted yourself. Again.

huh? My point was Dumbo and Snow White can be enjoyed by all age groups but a waste of space like FFF cant be enjoyed by everyone its aimed at only little kids.

WHat are you saying. FFF is no more aimed at Children than Dumbo. If all age groups can enjoy Dumbo then all can enjoy FFF. Dumbo is just as "kiddie" as FFF.

Not to mention, FFF was really needed at DCA...I haven't seen it in person, but I think it's cute.

I think its tacky and what does it have to do with California?

 

[Pongo]

1. There are bugs in California.
2. Pixar Animation Studios is in California.

Who knows why WDI decided to put it there? You could email them and ask :wave:
