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

[lazyboy97o]

very true, but making absurd moves like stuffing the tequila bar inside Mexico into a space that cant handle it, has done nothing but create havoc. I still question how they get away with that with fire code.

Because the fire codes are a series of different parameters that are incorporated into the design.

It's funny for 5 year olds , and if they planned it, it could indeed hold the crowds... they would need to move the queue and attraction entrance outside of the Pyramid.... When EPCOT opened there were throngs of people through those pavilions.... Crowds at EPCOT is not necessarily a new thing.

Thanks to Martin's video (I hope its ok to screen cap it here, credit goes to http://www.martinsvids.net/?s=mexico) Unless they rip out 2 of the stores and push the queue all the way out through the front... there really isn't a good way to get the queue to exit through the left side of the pyramid. There also needs to be an exit/ exit path to the ride.

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

There's not much room to put it outside the building either, really. There's just the space between the pavilion and the Odyssey, which is only about 60 feet wide and would require additional work to block backstage views too.

There's more room on the other side between Mexico and Norway, but moving load/unload over there could potentially require blowing up the whole attraction and starting from scratch.

I just don't think it's especially feasible for them to put a popular attraction there without completely gutting the existing pavilion and eliminating most of what makes it special. I believe Martin indicated this as well -- I'm pretty sure he said the reason Coco didn't end up going into the Mexico pavilion is that they couldn't work out a way to make it work logistically (at least without tremendous expense and damage to what's currently there).

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...

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!
