Nice for you to mention it, but Star Wars Galaxy Edge isn’t opened yet so they aren’t to do this out of sequence. Star Tours is a well established attraction that isn’t going to be replaced just because of Marvel. So why should Disney protect Twilight Zone?

Tower of Terror was more established than Star Tours II

Star Tours is more established than Tower of Terror regardless of the upgrade to Star Wars II. Star Tours was always sold as an upgradeable attraction with regard to Star Wars content.

If you’re basing attraction decisions solely on IP, you’re doing it wrong.

Excuse me. Suggesting a Guardians of the Galaxy replacement for Star Tours is the definition of thinking only about IP.

I’m sorry. I just don’t see how any fan of themed entertainment can like MB more than TOT. Meaning most of us on these boards, who understand what makes attractions great. I can’t see how just liking an IP can make up for all the other flaws.

I can appreciate that, but I have to weigh my indifference to DCA’s bargain basement version of Tower of Terror with the better version at DHS. Since we cannot have the better one, the different one should be the compromise. And we’re getting a whole new better land to go with it. Thus theming is considered.

Didn’t stop a few ”experts” from proclaiming it a “winner” and the most entertaining thing at DLR. You would think some of those first reviews were written by Disney PR people.

Quite a few who absolutely hated the idea of the revamp and changed their tune once they rode it. I wouldn't put them as being pro-Disney hacks.

But, go ahead and float a conspiracy theory that Disney controls reviewers. If you believe that, take a look at the reviews for A Wrinkle in Time.

That argument really doesn’t make sense to me. So if My favorite burger chain served an inferior burger to their locations in Florida, why would I want them to turn my location into a taco stand?

Avengers: Infinity War just opened with the biggest weekend box office of all time. It passed Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It also grossed the biggest global box office opening ever, a week before it even opens in China.

And yet Disney's theme park division still has yet to do anything except a quick re-skin of a 15 year old ride, and a gaggle of cheap meet n' greets in front of plywood backdrops.

The ability of Disney theme parks to completely drop the ball on the Marvel craze of the 2010's is stunning in its ineptness. :eek:

And Ant-Man and Wasp is only three months away.

Well, they would keep serving it again and again and again. It doesn’t get better. Plus, the situation changes and the public likes tacos better. Why wouldn’t they give the public what they want? Serving the inferior burger no longer served it’s original purpose and sales are actually decreasing. And they really want the make this new Mexican village to go with this new taco stand. New constituency too. Why not attract this whole new audience that want tacos and see the Mexican village instead of this crummy burger in the cut rate Hollywood Blvd that no one originally wanted.

The inferior burger is still better than the taco, though.

To you.

It is possible for people to be Disney fans and like Mission Breakout, Pooh in Critter Country, Pixar Pier, Alien popcorn buckets and any assortment of things at the parks others might be turned off by. There isn’t some magic force that makes all Disneyland fans have the exact same tastes and preferences. We are not a single monolith that agrees and likes the same things about Disney parks.

We're talking burgers and tacos here, Hans. Stick with the program, please.

Right, but there’s an objective set of criteria that was used to create the parks in the first place. That is the reason Disneyland exists as it does. The type of thinking that resulted in MB would never have created or even attempted to build Disneyland.
