Bring over one attraction from Disneyland (and where you would put it)

[Heppenheimer]

I think they could basically clone the Matterhorn ride system and track layout, but place it in the Japan pavilion, so that we could finally have the Mt. Fuji coaster that had been rumored a long time ago.

That would be a cool idea, but I would prefer a more updated, smoother track. The Matterhorn is more than a little jerky.

Another idea could be to put in the German pavilion and call it "Zugspitze", or put it in Italy and call it by its Italian name "Cervino", since the real mountain sits on the Italian-Swiss border.

I mean.... thunder mountain is nowhere near a terrible ride at WDW, I ride it every time I go. But you know..... Disneyland... wanna trade?

Yes!! id be totally into that.

Just to be different - Alice in Wonderland ride for MK

But also, Indy for HS or AK, Radiator Springs for HS, and Mr. Toad for MK

So all steel tube coasters are the same? Thats not even close to being correct.

That's not at all what I said. The Incredicoaster and the R&RC are similar ride systems. Yes, there are many differences, just like Indy in DL and Dinosaur in DAK are different rides, but with basically the same ride system. It wouldn't make much sense to have Dinosaur right next to Indy. And it wouldn't make sense to have the Incredicoaster right next to the R&RC.

1) Indy and Dinosaur and identical tracks.
2) I didn't say to put them next to each other.

I asked how they were similar. The only way they are similar is that they are launched coasters. The actual tracks are completely different.

 

[DoleWhipDrea]

Indiana Jones is the easy response, but only for DHS. I wouldn’t want it to replace Dinosaur...that attraction just needs a really good refurbishment. Wish it was still Countdown to Extinction.

But honestly, what I really wish MK would get is Disneyland’s version of Pirates of the Caribbean. MK’s lacks the magic and charm of the original with the cut scenes and rush job.

 

[danyoung56]

Yet another case of agree to disagree. I think they're exactly the same type of coaster, and as such don't belong in the same park with each other. You don't feel the same way, as is your right.

 

[BigDlover]

I agree that Indiana Jones is the obvious answer. If space allowed, I'd like to see it in Adventureland, but the fact that you can't dig very deep in Florida probably limits the possibilities there.

Hollywood Studios would be my second choice. The Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular has probably outlived its novelty, so put it right there, if possible.

Keep it out of Animal Kingdom, though! I know that Disney cares much less about thematic unity than previously, but unless the storyline of the attraction is significantly changed to involve more animals, it really doesn't fit there.

Not to mention it's the Dinosaur ride with a different overlay lol

 

[BigDlover]

I love the Incredicoaster, but it's too similar to RnR to put it in DHS. I'd put Indy there instead.

It's a completely different ride and overall experience. It's outside, the theme is different, the music is different, it has the scents, and it uses an IP that WDW doesn't have an attraction for.

 

[BigDlover]

I would bring over Radiator Springs Racers and enlarge the Studios again. It' such a fantastic design and ride.

Am I the only one that wasn't super impressed with RS Racers? I only rode it once and it was adorable and the scenery was cool but wasn't it basically Test Track with a different theme?

 

[BigDlover]

Indiana Jones in Adventureland is my first choice. Others I would love are Radiator Springs Racers which I would place in the Studios where the stunt show is now, and Roger Rabbit either in Fantasyland (needs more dark rides) or on Sunset Blvd in the Studios.
I know lots of people don't like "cloning" attractions, but most people only ever visit one resort so will never have a chance to experience certain attractions. There are things in the French and Asian parks that I would love to see but probably never will.

I love Roger Rabbit! It's such an unexpectedly fun time lol. It's unique.

I loooove Alice!! Such a cute ride! I wish our Fantasyland had more of the traditional dark rides. DL's has so many!

Or

I would bring over the Matterhorn for an Epcot World Showcase location.

Radiator Springs by all means. Knock down the parking garage in Pixar and put it there. I'd make a special trip just to see that.

They really are completely different tracks though and completely different experiences. They were built by different companies and have different track lengths, heights, acceleration speeds, and inversions.

Most theme parks have multiple large roller coasters and people love it. No one would be upset if DHS added another coaster lol. People would be extremely excited, especially bc thrill seekers wish WDW had more large coasters.

Same system, completely different story and experience. Test Track is nothing more then a ride in a car through an area of blue lights. There is no more boring a ride then TT. RS has scenery and large vehicle animatronics and a story along with a race. No comparison at all.

Yeah, that's what I figured. I appreciate the differences and obviously RS wins with the scenery and props but that wasn't enough to make me fall in love with it. I used to love Test Track (version 1) but with the addition of so many great attractions at WDW, and the 2.0 makeover, it's not a favorite anymore. The actual ride (which is the same as RS) is not that exciting anymore. Adding a different story and visuals doesn't change that for me.

I enjoyed a lot more DL/DCA attractions than RS. It had been hyped up so much (I didn't know at the time it was the same system/track) and I was a bit let down to basically get on Test Track again.

Test Track stinks. It is and always was so bland. It’s not even a Must Do for our family.

Radiator Springs has so much going for it and is so well done. I’d argue that while TT is more thrilling bc it does go faster, the story, setting, and characters of RSR are amazing.

It's OK. We don't have to agree on this. I've just always felt the experience was very similar. Just like I enjoyed it more as California Screamin, and it sounds like maybe you didn't. That's fine too.

An updated version of Indiana Jones Adventure, placed in The Magic Kingdom's Adventureland.

IJA is one of the crown jewels of Imagineering. Even before Galaxy's Edge, I always thought of Disneyland Park superior to The Magic Kingdom (despite loving both), largely because IJA is so immersive, spectacular, and still feels cutting edge.
