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

[Bocabear]

Odyssey has been more or less vacant for years except for "flex Space"... What it they attached the two buildings and the interior queue could be in that space between... There appears to be more space between Mexico and the Frozen meet and greet ... Seems like someone could actually figure it out if they wanted to...

 

[Chef idea Mickey`=]

If the entire ride is being completely redone, move the queue outside the pyramid...not in the same location

Gee another waiting outside in the heat, part of the charm of this ride was to unwind after a hot or hectic day at Epcot or WDW. What I love about it is you can easily hop back in if you want another go. Anything like Frozen Ever After is enough as it is..

After reading some of these posts I can’t wait until they build the grammar pavilion.

They could build an interior queue... They would have to build an addition to the building.....

Yeah. Also the three calbaerros ride is funny, and Mexico can’t handle cocos crowds. .

3 cabs is great. While Coco - if the built a brand new ride like in the space behind the Frozen M&G - would be a great addition to the pavilion, i wouldn’t want them to remove the 3 cab ride. It’s really quite perfect for Epcot as a low wait ride that is fun and still has some cultural value

Yes — add, not replace.

I didn't think you would of supported that idea.

Their must be a way to solve this...

So you are talking about a replacement for 3 cabs not a retheme? At that point why not use all the space behind the frozen M&G and leave 3 cabs where it is.

I will never understand why people want to actively replace decent, 0 height, minimal wait attractions. I wish there were 5 more 3 cabs type rides in every park. Blue is queue, Red is show building, green is bigger show building if they were willing to move avenue of the stars. TBH I do not know what those BOH facilities are, but I'm guessing they could move.

So will the 3 cabs go in back of BTM during phase 1 or 2 of the BBTM expansion? Oh wait…

If they add a Coco attraction I hope they add walk around characters or a meet and greet too…

I hope Coco gets a full stage show a la Finding Nemo or FotLK. It would be the perfect IP to integrate into a show, and MK is severely lacking live entertainment options

I honestly kinda feel like an attraction more on the style of “ride and go seek” in Tokyo (and no, not Toy Story mania) would honestly be a hit at wdw. I’ve always wanted to see that style of interactive ride come to the states. My only worry is the capacity of the ride and go seek ride system

The Encanto show / Epcot flex space area could be plus-ed by adding some additional IP into that show. I'm all for live music, especially some guitar!

I wonder if they could take that whole backstage corridor on the right side of the pavilion and create a Mexican village street with a couple shops and flip the entrance to Cava De Tequila to the outside with an exit into the main pavilion...then the queue and expanded show building for the Coco attraction could be back there, and tie part of the original flume into into the newer building...which would then give them that portion of the old ride to develop into more exhibit/shopping space inside the main pavilion... Or leave to make the ride a longer experience...

Didnt realize this was the "beyond Mexico pavilion " thread...I gotta go find the Magic Kingdom one

I am not a fan of doing all this work to Mexico to try and force Coco in with a ride it deserves when it also seems like a great fit to Magic Kingdom. It’s not an issue for other properties, why does this one need to be in EPCOT?

 

[Erdago]

I feel like my issue with putting Coco in Mexico is that in order for it to work logistically, you have to do a lot of reconstruction and redesign to both the pavilion and the surrounding areas well as a potential ride expansion… all in service of a likely haphazard retrofit. I really don’t see how any aspect of a Mexico expansion will make a better experience for anyone or anywhere (be it Disney, fans/audiences, Beyond Big Thunder expansion, Mexico pavilion, etc).
