They are nothing we have not seen before though. The Lumiere, 7DMT and the Ursula AA's are just as impressive as anything in FEA, yet people choose to be blown away by Elsa and Olaf because it is a new ride, or they did not like Maelstrom, or their child gets bored in Epcot, etc, etc. It is the, "anything is better nothing" mentality.
I think every ride after it's a small world is lame because that ride used animatronics and every animatronic after that is tired.
The big difference is that I can articulate reasons for my assessment relating to model, posture, build quality and even animation. That's a wide swath of the metrics on which a figure would be judged.LOL. Ok. But it still doesn't make you calling them lousy any more true
They're not as impressive as what has been seen before, they are worse.
I was not saying they were lousy. Peoples pants wetting reaction to them is hilarious though. Let me be clear, I do not think the ride is completely horrible, but I have yet to hear a solid defense of how it is in any way a quality attraction. And the "my kids cant wait to ride it" or "Maelstrom was horrible" logic is not a reflection of quality. (not saying either of you has said that, just many other)
But, but....Olaf moves on a horizontal AND vertical axis.....it is the most amazing feat of Imagineering ever!!! /sarcasm
Being able to actually say something means I've given it though and would be interested in other points. You accuse me of having to be right but you are saying nothing more than "Because I said so," as though that makes them not-lousy. I am also not the one who brought the subject back up. If you're not interested in the subject then why say anything?
I'm with you on this one. But I'll sure miss not having that B&TB attraction!
Which thread is this in? Just want to pop in and catch up, thanks
I think that if Epcot ended up with a B&tB ride in France, the World Showcase would essentially be 'Princessland'. Sure, the Mexico pavilion doesn't have princesses in it, but 2/3 rides in the WS would. Ratatouille makes a bit more sense in terms of theming (but I hope the ride looks better than the one in Paris).
I agree completely...Princess rides are a completely wrong note for EPCOT. Ratatouille...Even Mulan is acceptable, but no Snow White or Belle or Cinderella or Little Mermaid... Keep those firmly planted in the Magic Kingdom.Which thread is this in? Just want to pop in and catch up, thanks

The only reason I would be okay with Snow White in Germany is if it echoes the original Grimm story (so sort of like Snow White's Scary Adventures). I'd prefer the river cruise, but that doesn't look like it's happening any time soon.

The problem is, it will only have 2 attractions, which will essentially be replacing LMA and the Backlot Tour. So no net-gain as far as number of attractions, and we still don't know what kind of capacity the 2 attractions will have as of yet. So, unfortunately, things almost need to look spectacular because people are going to be standing in long lines looking at it all.
