Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin - Classic or Not

[Br0ckford]

If You Had Wings was a classic.

But looking long-term, I don't see an attraction based on Wall-E being built NOW. It might get cheers if it were announced at D23, but is it going to be a long-term success? That's iffy in my book. Certainly not as beloved as the character of Buzz Lightyear, even despite the awful new movie.

I dunno, Wall•E seems very loved. He’s universally considered most player’s favorite Villager in Dreamlight Valley. Check out their reddit, and you’ll see nonstop posts about him. I also noticed that I heard “Put on Your Sunday Clothes” many times while I was on Mainstreet two weekends ago, I’ve never heard it in the parks before. Plus they just updated EPCOT’s parking lot to include him and Eve. Personally I think Wall•E is a better fit for EPCOT as opposed to Tomorrowland, but I’d gladly take an attraction anywhere for it.

They should have moved Buzz to DHS’s Toy Story Land because there’s so little to do over there.

Also at DHS, build that Woody’s Roundup animatronic show that was once rumored to replace CBJ.

Get rid of it is the answer in my opinion. At the very least, it should be rethemed and update the tech.

i feel toy story and even cars waning in popularity compared to where they were 10 years ago.

Considering I usually end up with a higher score than my sister when we ride together and she proceeds to call me a cheater, it’s a classic in my book.

It’s the only non-spinner ride that’s been at every Disney castle park. It’s a classic known throughout the world. Space Mountain can’t say the same!

Cars Land is extremely loved at DCA.

Cars Land is extremely loved at DCA.

The land, yes. But it doesn't feel like the toy aisles are overflowing with Cars merchandise the way they were a decade ago.

Ok?
I wasn't disputing that, just noting that anecdotally it seems like there's not as much Lightning McQueen and friends merch as there used to be.

It's not a classic, but it's fun for everyone. Just let it be.

MK needs each and every attraction it has and more.

I guess it depends on who you are. I visited WDW when If You Had Wings was in that location. Didn't ride Delta Dreamflight in 1992 when I was there. To me its just a replacement for something I remember riding and enjoying as a kid.

So no... not a "classic"

There was a time in my life when I went on that ride when it was called, “If You Had Wings”. I remember the theming and the music. Good times.

Can anything tied to an IP be considered a classic?

Can anything tied to an IP be considered a classic?

Was Splash? Is the castle? Was Great Movie Ride? Those were and are all tied to at least one IP - Song Of The South, Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty, and a bunch of movies, respectively

There are some, including Peter pans flight. But it is kind of funny that the vast majority of what's considered classic/iconic, is non IP based. Yet, they want no part of original rides anymore. Gotta sell them plushies!

 

[TheCoasterNerd]

Yes s.i.r. that's what I'm talking about!

Because there isn't anything new out?

Because there isn't anything new out?

So you're saying that Cars isn't in fact evergreen if there isn't new product being pumped out constantly, and therefore Cars IS in fact less popular than before?

I'm glad we agree.
