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

[Heppenheimer]

I'm not going to DCA under any circumstances and Disneyland being the mecca for Disney would draw people even if it were nothing but wind up clocks. Carsland should be available to everyone, not just to those living on the big fault line, just like Small World, Pirates, Haunted Mansion and so many others that are shared with just about every Disney park. It is that impressive and the ability to experience it should not dependent on where one happens to live.

People can travel, you know....

 

[Goofyernmost]

So by that logic, every impressive attraction needs to be cloned?

How observant of you! Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. What is the deal with anti-cloning. All the revenue goes into the same final pot. I didn't say build in in Universal. However, it is more that every original, extremely impressive and worthwhile attraction should be shared (cloned it that word makes you feel better) We are not talking about babies or sheep here.

I actually think RSR should stay a Disneyland exclusive, otherwise why would you even go to DCA? (Coming from someone who only went to DCA once and it was before Carsland opened)

Uh, because its Disneyland? The far superior resort?

Is there anyone else that thinks the Indy ride at Disneyland was overhyped, and liked Dinosaur more instead? It just seemed like it got through its course too quickly. The theming in the que was fantastic though.

That being said, it would be the best attraction to clone, and for it to be placed in the MK. This would balance the park immensely. I think having Radiator Springs and Toy Story Land in the same park (HS) would be redundant, and it doesn’t fit anywhere else. California surprisingly has few rides that would meaningfully improve the Florida parks.

Runner up is The Matterhorn. This would complement Guardians pretty well. Since the other 3 rides in WS are family dark or boat rides, this would also fill WS’s need for a thrill ride in its lineup.

 

[Goofyernmost]

That's exactly why they built it there. To get people to go... Plus we do already have TT which is vastly different thematically but the same type of ride system.

We also have HM, Mermaid, Buzz, SSE, Seas, Toy Story Mania, People Mover on omnimover tracks. Then we have Jungle Cruise, Pirates, Mexico, Frozen, Na'vi River if that floats your boat. Not to leave out Big Thunder, 7 Dwarf Mine train, Barnstormer, soon to be Guardians, RnRC, Slinky Dog Dash, Everest all of which look suspiciously like roller coasters to me. We are soon to have the "rat ride" which is already in DL Paris, close to the same mileage away as California and Florida, but far easier to get too from from California to Paris. However, if you take customers away from Disneyland to see the RAT in Florida then Disneyland will lose revenue. It really is overall totals, not individually.

My point is that no two attractions regardless of their method of transportation are the same thing. If you cut down attractions based on presentation criteria we would be down to three or four rides total plus whatever is still original and only one use of a system. A significantly larger number of people will see go to Disney if it is available on both coasts. With it only on one, then a huge number will not pay to see it at all. People that would travel from the east coast to Disneyland would have done so anyway. No one spends that kind of cash to see one thing in either direction.

Not all can afford to or want too. And yes, I did notice that unique ability. I have been all over this country, Europe and Asia, however, I wouldn't travel just to see one ride in a theme park, that would be foolish and the reason why there are two identical Star Wars lands, one on each coast. Coincidence? I think not!

I thought that the Indy ride in Disneyland was a better, more detailed attraction, but by the time I walked underground all the way to Mexico to see it I was to tired to enjoy it much. Especially since I walked it almost to the ride before we had to be evacuated out because a fire alarm went off and had to traverse it again to actually ride it. I swear that was the longest distanced queue in any Disney park. Mermaid runs a close second.

There's a lot more to see and do in California other than Radiator Springs Racers, and I daresay most visitors to the state probably travel there for more reasons than a single ride at one amusement park.

I think that is what I said. The idea that having one single ride in any park will cause people to spend thousands of dollars to see one attraction is just not realistic. So like I said, those that would go across country would not be doing so just to see one thing, they would have more on the agenda and the priority would be the other things and, while I'm there, would be the one that draws them to see that single attraction.

I know it is the same ride system, but I'm not convinced that it is the same track layout.

Correct. Totally different layout.

 

[Goofyernmost]

Your loss.

Not a loss, I have been there. Just saying I would never have gone there for one attraction. It was the sum of the parts that drew me there and the history. However, as much as I would like to ride it, I cannot justify the trip just for that. When all is said and done it is really just a ride in a theme park.

I love that queue. It's almost like a mini-walkthrough attraction. Of course, I've waited far too many hours in that queue. I've only been to Disneyland every few years throughout my life, but somehow I managed to hit newly opened Indy, Star Tours, and Rocket Rods. Let me say that over those hours, I appreciated the details in the long queue.

Yes, it was amusing for sure, like exploring caves with Indy himself, but, at one point in time I felt that I was never going to get to the end of it and that was a day with no stops just a straight walk through. I know I would have turned around and left if there had been a real line there.

Would love to move DL’s SM over to MK and get rid of MK’s version! That track is SO ROUGH plus I like the side-by-side seating that DL’s version has

INDIANA JONES at Studios where the stunt show is.

DL's SM is a joy. My DH hates the Matterhorn because it is too rough on him (of course he is also 6'4"). I'm sure WDW's SM isn't too far behind for him.

 

[couchpotatooo]

I love the Indiana Jones ride and wish they had it WDW or Radiator Springs Racers.

 

[Texas84]

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.

I was going to say Toad but you changed my mind.

 

[Raineman]

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.

You're right. I guess I should have said that they could have a modern steel coaster Mt Fuji attraction. WDW already has an old, rough, rickety Matterhorn track clone with Space Mountain, they don't need 2 of them.

I love the idea of cool rides for Epcot, but isn't Everest essentially a modern Matterhorn in AK (I mean, when it was fully yeti-fied)?
