FYI that's the World of Frozen from Hong Kong in the foreground. We're looking towards Oaken Sleighs from the vantage basically over top of Frozen Ever After.

That's the Castle of Magical Dreams (HK) in the rear. It's not in the right place relative to the Arendelle model.

Based on the story boards out as well, this entire set of images screams things we raided out of a closet and threw up or on tables to get some fake shots of for our YouTube show. It's all strewn about like Lego for B-roll.

Read literally nothing into it all. IF you had to read anything into it (which I absolutely wouldn't), the connective tissue here including the SEA/Mystic Manor storyboarding is all Hong Kong.
Wha? You're saying Brayden totally made up a bunch of bs and ran with it (and people believed him)?? :rolleyes:

RSR is such a gem of a ride. It's one of the only reasons I go to DCA when I travel to Cali, otherwise I would probably spend all my days in Disneyland lol.

Living in Florida and being able to go to WDW as frequently as I do, I would love to be able to go on RSR whenever I wanted without having to get on a plane. Unlike others on this forum I can see how they can make it fit at MK beyond Thunder, but I would love if they can make it work at HS somehow and include the whole land and not just the ride. If they can find space (animation courtyard/launch bay or part of the parking lot that is rumored to eventually be expansion) and are not replacing anything, this also adds 3 new rides to HS. Desperately needed.

Getting a non-Cadillac backdrop behind Big Thunder makes the idea sound even better to me.

Just keep an eye on any rumor involving it, and a certain 30+ year old TV show in regards to Studios right now.

Why was the first thing that came to mind Boy Meets World?

DuckTales seems late since the 2017 series ended, but a Darkwing Duck return has been supposed to happen. Goof Troop and Rescue Rangers are also in the same range.

Talespin too, but that's a total Adventureland idea. Unless they took out the stunt show and put other things in that jungle, but I'd hate to lose it. How good have crowds been since the return from the shutdown?

I think it's a bit different, in that (at least in my understanding) Test Track and RSR don't simply use the same ride vehicle system, but have an identical track layout
Not even remotely close, they use the same slot car ride system though (along with Journey to the center of the earth)

Assuming you were talking about BatB... it is surprisingly close if they were willing to fill in a small part of the lake, move the boat launch and find a new way to get to fantasmic (I also had to mirror the ride)

So, the Simpsons...I know people don't like it, but in Hollywood studios I think it works.
How would that even work though? I enjoy the Simpsons and their humor (loved the film) though the show has fallen off a bit it’s still entertaining. Doesn’t the Simpsons not fit within HWS though? Would they build a Springfield?

I'm not sure how they would do it. I don't think they would build a Springfield since that's been done already. Could it possibly be a show? Something I think might be interesting is something based off of the Halloween of horrors episodes.

In the Parks
No
I've said it so many times and I know a lot of people disagree, but a full Simpsons' land (the size of GE) is exactly what I want. I want to step into Springfield in a way that feels way more authentic than the Universal's take and I want hilarious and exciting rides. Plus, the food and merch would be so fun. The Universal merch is lowkey bad compared to Disney quality.

It's probably my top want at Disney, cause I (and basically everyone I know) loves The Simpsons.

The DHS attraction is looks to me temporary since no Cars Land or ride FTM. Why is Another Cars ride a big deal when three track less rides exist two in same park and one closest park next door.
I'd like variety in the IP. If I want Cars, I'll go to DHS. I don't see how Cars fits Villains or Coco (I get the BTMRR setting similarity).

We currently have Frozen, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Finding Nemo attractions in multiple parks. So...
I get that you can use the same IP across parks, but I don't think Cars in MK is additive, and I can just go to DLR. It's a fun ride, but I don't really want copy/paste rides at WDW. You can use the same system/layout, but a different IP.

I heard either HS or MK will end up with it. Leaning towards MK.
DHS makes more sense. Cars seems more realistic (odd right?) and it would fit nicely into the movie-set theme. Plus, you already have the LMcQ Academy, and previous LMA Stunt Show. It fits much better than fairytale land.
