They need to pull some rides from other parks that they have already done like Journey to the Center of the earth at Disney Sea or the matterhorn. this would keep costs down as they have the scematics to build it already. They do need some more rides that take up capacity and less like 7DMT.
This does not present the savings many assume (see TRON and Ratatouille). They cannot just reuse the existing design documentation.
I could care less about cost. Just spend the money like they do in the international parks.
I don’t understand what the big draw would be to an encanto/coco “land”. There is an empty space next to the Mexico pavilion in Epcot build something there…that makes more sense
Besides pandering to a major demographic and being two beloved IP? What makes any Disney IP a draw?
You just proved one of my points. It’s a setting for a “ride”, not a land with multiple attractions. Disney already overspends on things, every new thing doesn’t have to be in an overpriced land for itself
I agree. But a ride in of itself needs to support at least one restaurant and a shop or two, from the perspective of the bean counters.
While I generally agree that they're overly focused on creating new lands when there's a lot within existing lands that could be better utilized and expanded, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with a smaller land that supports a couple of rides, restaurants, and retail, especially if they can make it flow organically. Heck, that's what Liberty Square already is.
Tron, Guardians, and Splash redo isn’t.
I don’t think it helps the situation. It might help get big attractions approved but those are the things that induce demand in the parks. Overall though I think there are now more incentives to not develop than to develop.
With the space it needs to do it right, unlike the overlay at mexico that some wanted, that would never had enough room.
possibly, I just think what Disney needs right now is more/numerous attractions to SPREAD crowds out across parks and in parks rather than a new expensive land in the MK
They'd take about the same amount of time to build in Disney time, so why not have an entire land that would hold more people instead of just a ride or two?
Because a large expensive land with 1 ride < multiple rides in multiple locations/parks right now
Coco’s e ticket is presumed to be a magic theatre (FoP, Soarin) to that I’ll add a slow moving boat ride and resturant, volia land very similar to Pandora. As for Encanto I still add that it makes more sense in AK where Antonio could host a South American animal trail that would feature a butterfly house and jaguars as the secondary attraction to the E ticket in the house (trackless dark ride) and a restaurant. I don’t have a great idea for a secondary ride in MK. Again a resturant is easy to tie in as well.
I personally think attracting more crowds to the MK is the last thing on the list they should be focusing on when the other parks are in such need of more
