Tiana’s source material is an animated film, as is Cars. The Cars proposal isn’t Toon Lagoon where it literally all looks like a cartoon. They seem to be using real trees and water. The landscape will mesh really well
That was the original argument — that even if you’re a purist on Frontierland and that it must have a time component, the land already stretches over decades and Cars would be an extension not inconsistent with the largest gap in the land today (1840s to 1920s = 1920s to 2000s)
I don't think anthropomorphic car-people and stylized car part mountains and features will be a really good mesh with the realism they were attempting with Big Thunder... nor will any of that mesh with any part of the riverfront area that currently exists now... Again, a human based world...based on human history as a background, to a nonsensical Automobile inhabited world of car parts masquerading as nature doesn't seem at all like a fit...except there are trees and rocks... Just a bad and strange move all around... If only there were a theme park based on films, all types, where this sort of shift would make perfect sense......
The issue is that certain things can coexist without clear anachronism to a modern viewer whereas others cannot. Transportation is one of those things that frequently cannot. Most people have an innate sense that, say, chariots generally didn’t coexist with Conestoga wagons, or that horse-drawn carriages generally didn’t coexist with modern automobiles. You can get away with hitching posts, steamboats, and wagons overlapping a bit with the earliest cars, but most people realize something is afoot when you throw modern ATVs into that mix.
I was answering no you the question at the end of your post. The rest was mostly just sharing facts about federal land. Many people think federal land = NPS, but NPS only manages a small percent of federal land.
You are talking in tongues and making an argument that you want to make.
Well now, they did close Primeval Whirl, and it was never a big hit while it was open. Yet it is a ride that has done well in other locations.
Marketing is the science of convincing people to buy products that they don’t want or need.
I wonder if “fans” realize this is a discussion board where we discuss positives and negative of the past, present, and future.
Disney parks have never been kids parks. It’s pretty telling that your view is that you can look past the aspects that take away from them.
Really not sure where this idea came from that you can’t recognize the flaws in things you enjoy.I wonder if “fans” realize this is a discussion board where we discuss positives and negative of the past, present, and future.
Now I did question if I had outgrown Disney and just became jaded when I didn’t like any Disney fireworks shows, then I saw Wondrous Journeys and realized that no, the current Florida shows just totally suck haha (exaggeration of course
That’s not how themed areas work - if you establish a land as 1840s-1920’s that doesn’t mean you can double the time span.
Exactly - I love Apple products but don’t get me started on taking headphone jacks off iPhones….
And you seem to want to dismiss any negative point made cause it’s “ a magic kingdom for kids” - if that’s all you think Disney world is, then you have a totally different view than many of us.
I don't know if you can call it a popularity drop. It's a lot less crowded because now there's two. So they've doubled capacity and that helped a lot. Last summer it was still a decent wait during prime hours.
I never said transformers was my favorite ride? I am a big fan of the Pinocchio ride though but not sure where that comes into play haha.
What do you think is the closest comparison during the Walt era?
I’ve heard ROA is going to last through summer - but trees will be down with exposed construction by then.
