In all seriousness, I just don't think RSR would be a bad addition. To summarize what I said earlier, great land, very beautiful, very profitable. But I'm sure whatever they put back there will be wonderful. It is MK's largest expansion in history after all, so the pressure is on at WDI.
I'm actually wondering something else, the largest expansion in MK's history deserves something that is timeless and beautiful. To not have the World of Arendelle and now Encanto relocated something colorful or landscape that lights up at night is necessary at least to contrast a Villains environment next door.
Whatever is next to Villians needs to be colorful (of course with a transition that is done correctly between the Villians land and whatever is going next to it to prevent sightline and anything from that area being visible from either side). I'm assuming we are saying this based off the idea that we associate the theme Villians with darker color palettes.
I don’t mind if they go that route with the central castle, cathedral, or whatever in a possible villain expansion, but I hope the land itself is not colorless and dull. That would be a poor expression of Disney’s villains, who are themselves often incredibly vibrant. I realize it’s not finished yet, but the Dark Universe look of a bunch of gray stone that seems to have been rubbed down with a metric ton of bootblack is exactly what I don’t want.
I doubt it. Like you said, that's Universal's bread and butter. Disney's Villians are much more whimsical. Renaissance era ones at least.
There’s other space - some requiring less work than others - that can be used to expand MK besides BBTM. there’s a designated expansion pad north of Tron for example.
Yep. No reason to fill in Tom Sawyer's Island and ROA when the Magic Kingdom is already a concrete jungle.
Villains seems like something that excites “Disney adults” and a lot of superfans online. I don’t know how well that translates to regular guests and kids, in particular. Anecdotally, I think my kids would be scared at the prospect of it.
True. IMO, it would work better at Disneyland, known to cater to Magic Key Holders more.
Oh god forbid
it excites more than adults... pre-teens and teens as well...also anyone that is not terrified of pirates or the Haunted mansion... toddlers and very young children might be scared now, but what will they be in 5 years when the land finally opens? I bet not scared.....and how scary do you honestly expect a Magic Kingdom land to be? This is Disney not Universal Halloween Horror Nights....if they are terrified they can go on one of the other attractions in the park...thing about kids is, they grow up....and what scared them one year, may not the next year... and they will be past the toddler stage for way longer than they are in it...
If Disney does it I would hope you’re correct. I don’t think they’d want to build an entire land (not just a ride) that is a turnoff for a large chunk of their guests. There are always more kids coming to replace those that age out. But by avoiding that would they then turn off the adults who seem most excited about the idea? Seems like a tricky balance.
I am sure any Villains land or attraction would be handled in a family-friendly and fun kind of way. Disney villains ( most of them) are vibrant and often silly caricatures... Vibrant, colorful and quirky... There is no reason to think they would handle them any other way... Like I said, it's not Halloween Horror Nights... And having a villain section that some of the tiniest kids might be a little afraid of makes it one of those milestone moments...when they are finally old enough to not be afraid and then realize it was all fun and a little silly...as the Disney Villains tend to be...
That's LED lighting for you.
Funny enough, LEDs don't have to be limited to just the cool colors = blues, greens, purples. You can do so much beyond those with LEDs.
