Florida too…. Tomorrowland needs more attention than frontier right now.
At this point I’d argue Disneyland and Magic Kingdom should become partial museums - updates and refreshes are fine but moving towards a historical society could be a really good thing.
I'm sure there was an IP-based attraction that was a failure despite being IP-based. Stitch's Great Escape?
The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow was a colossal failure that we don’t talk about enough
Ah, yes. Proof that IP doesn't automatically equal successful attractions.
To be fair, Dynamic Attractions being overconfident in what they thought was viable played a part in their recent near bankruptcy and acquisition.
Well yeah, IP doesn’t guarantee popularity. But it’s sadly the priority now. The Cars ride could work amazing if it were wagons instead of race cars, but IP demands it. If this were a project from 30 years ago it wouldn’t have any IP at all.
What Florida's Tomorrowland needs isn't an aesthetic overhaul, but it just needs a new attraction or two and maybe an upgrade to Space Mountain, plus something else to make Tomorrowland Speedway more relevant.
We will see. Josh said cars is coming to “a reimagined section of Frontierland”
I mean ... WDW Tomorrowland is also an aesthetic mess. Several raygun gothic props still litter the space from the 90s redo, some partially stripped back or heavily altered structural elements were just painted white rather than properly repaired or rethemed, they stopped repaving the area halfway during the latest round of work, and there are about three or four different styles for the area that are at odds with one another. Three attractions are in desperate need of replacement, one attraction sits completely empty, and one attraction needs repairs ASAP.
Yes that’s the concern - I’m not against cars being part of the magic kingdom. I could even live with cars being “beyond big thunder” but this is supposedly replacing the very heart and soul of the western side of the park!
Eh… they are both such a mess it’s hard to pick a winner…. Or loser as the case may be.
Yea, it's completely irrelevant if an attraction is original or IP when it comes to what's going to be good or bad. Guardians doesn't make cosmic rewind good. Just like no IP didn't make body wars bad. Personally I just want a mix of both, that are placed with better thought than they've been doing in recent years.
Which replaced a ride based on a story set in rural Georgia, which isn't exactly the American frontier. By your logic, Frontierland died when Splash Mountain was built.
I think people were just assuming if OG Cars Land was added, the River was close to elimination or just taken out all together, thus leaving the Liberty Belle stationary. Heck, it still scares me there is a possibility of this happening, but there really is no reason for it to happen. They have plenty of space for both Cars and Villains.
Best way to fix MK’s Tomorrowland imo:
