News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

Didn’t someone confirm we learned Tiana’s last name in the queue? There is a sign with the name “Tiana Rogers”?

I haven't watched the ride-through videos yet, but I'm shocked to learn she married Captain America. I did not see that plot twist coming.

I have a hard time believing that MK which has always been land-based would just add IP lands to their fold, although DLP did add Galaxy's Edge, so there is precedence. Still I hope they can tie the attractions together to a cohesive land design.

Having a single attraction like RSR makes me believe it will be a new land created.

Toontown returns? Desert?

DLP added Galaxy's Edge? I think you meant Disneyland (or DLR).

Why not build a Villains expansion in Fantasyland?

There is no room...but what Fantasyland Forest could have been... There is a small space left that is the Circus plot...but not big enough for any Villains expansion

Man, they have backed themselves in a corner. Literally.

Sounds like space might be an issue. I guess my thoughts on the expansion are kind of an extension of Fantasyland - albeit more explicitly magical. I just don't really think Villains is a good (enough) theme for a land or expansion.

Some people around here - "We're superfans, it's the general public's opinion that matters more"

The same people - "VILLAIN'S LAND WOULD BE SO SUPER AWESOME, EVERYONE WOULD LOVE IT, DISNEY NEEDS TO BUILD IT!!!!!!!!1!!!!!1!!!!"

Hey, I’m just here as a concerned Tony Baxter fan.

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 Simpson's were the latest and greatest when I was in Junior High. I'm almost 50. They may still be on tv, but they haven't been popular in over a decade.

 

[Purduevian]

sure but they couldn't even do it for TBA, I have no faith in what they do now.

We can narrow it down even further thanks to the queue. The attraction takes place in February of 1927.

Eudora’s last night is infact Rogers. She married Naveen though so likely Tiana took his last name.

Please keep anything Tiana related in the Spoilers thread or tag it as spoilers. I know these are all very minor but I am hoping to go into this ride blind and I thought this thread would be safe.

You got it!

But back to the thread - is there any possibility of using Tom Sawyer’s Island/Ft. Langhorn for possible expansion?

I’d really like for them to not fill in the river if possible.

Very much hoping that BBTM is Coco (I'm totally cool with a FoP style flight simulator) and phase II is villians. Moana in Adventureland is a must, and I'd be totally fine if Cars RSR came to DHS. Also the hints that Simpsons may come to DHS doesn't actually bother me either.

To be honest, I don’t really have much of a connection to TSL. Not that I don’t admire its history and everything. Wouldn’t mind it be used as an attraction space.

I don't think filling the river was ever on the table or even rumored

The big question is how much usable room is there?

For me, I’d be most excited with Villians. Then Moana, then RSR. Coco isn’t bad but I prefer Villians.

Brayden (if you want to count him as a source) said that was very much on the table. TSL in his version would become some kind of woody’s roundup attraction. Not sure how much I agree with that theming but the idea of it being used as an additional attraction sounds ok to me.

I've heard it mentioned here in passing, but I don't think anything would ever come of it.

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.

But it is another e-ticket that DHS does not need. It needs dark ride omnimovers for all ages. Maters already exists as aliens swirling saucers- would they repeat that? And the dancing cars ride is really lame.

Love the idea of RSR in WDW (despite rain concerns) but not at DHS. Bring villains to DHS.

I view this as a non-issue. Test Track has dealt with rain for a while now and mostly works out fine. Granted RSR is outside much more of the time. Doesn’t really matter though because test track closes down in the rain indoor or not.
