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

[MagicHappens1971]

And I don’t think we’ve ever heard of it being the case for any Tokyo attraction in the past. BatB was being considered for Epcot while it was still being built in Tokyo.

The only exclusivity clauses we’ve heard involved the China parts and the government owning a substantial portion of those parks surely plays a big role in that.

I should’ve included that as well, I’ve never heard of a Tokyo attraction getting exclusivity.

Also, the Beauty and the Beast ride in Tokyo is not particularly good. I'd be up for a Beauty and the Beast dark ride, just not a straight-up clone of Tokyo's.

I think that would be a challenge with the restaurant. You basically would have duplicate rooms / castles. I think expanding on Tangled is more likely than BATB.

To be fair, Cars Land duplicates the entirety of route 66 within the ride, which wasn't an issue then. I'm sure there's a way Disney could make it work

To be honest, besides Rise and Guardians, which were meant as E-tickets in a park void of new ones for a decade, has anything at WDW been as good as that?

This is a myth. Unless it’s been mentioned on here, most attractions don’t have an exclusivity clause.

Probably cost or something or different Imagineering teams. What attractions from Tokyo would realistically have a chance of being cloned for America? Ride and go seek maybe?

I like Slinky Dog Dash.

If you could bring ONE ride from Tokyo to america, which one would it be?

Raging Spirits from DisneySea, that or JTTCOE. Nuff said.

The exclusivity is the price tag that Disney would never be willing to pay to make their own version of

I mean Disney already uses OLC to fund the R&D for these projects so it would still be cheaper for them to clone some of the Tokyo attractions lol

I honestly feel like if Disney were to clone one ride from Tokyo to WDW, monsters inc ride and go seek would be the play. INSTANT HIT imo. Id still like to see a ride like it come to wdw.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

Sinbad’s Storybook Voyage for the Morocco Pavilion

Sinbad is more Arabian. While Morocco has Arabic culture, it is different. Sinbad though is one of Disney’s best rides. Would love to see them build it in Adventureland.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

A clone of that would be GREAT for an anniversary year.

Today? Probably Splash Mountain. But if that doesn't count, easily Pooh's Hunny Hunt.

Whilst there is no official exclusivity clone, has any attraction that was originally designed for a Tokyo park been duplicated for another resort after Pinocchio in 1983? They have used the technology like trackless rides etc. but never cloned a Tokyo original attraction. They have added attractions from other resorts to the Tokyo parks though, like Raging Spirits being a clone of Paris' Indiana Jones rollercoaster or Indiana Jones Adventure from Disneyland

Would Pinocchio even count? It was built in tandem with the Tokyo version, and was earmarked for it's location at Disneyland in the late 70s. It's a similar case to the WDW and TDR Splash Mountains.

I thought I read somewhere that it was supposed to be a Tokyo exclusive but then Disney decided to build it for Disneyland's new Fantasyland. It was cloned for Paris as well

I like Slinky Dog Dash.

It is a fun family thrill coaster, but having ridden both, it is nowhere near Beauty and The Beast Tokyo for me. The queue alone for Beauty and the Beast.
