We are talking about someone whose first instinct was to jettison the whole lot of them because he didn’t see them as a core business. Big visible changes is the easy way to having a visible legacy, especially as you start fancying yourself as a creative since the people who design theme parks have never demanded the sort of recognition demanded by filmmakers.
Even worse....No one remembers that movie, and that is an excuse for bare bones theming. Expect almost no animatronics and mostly static features
There's just too many thrill rides now everything is so big the lines get so long! It's like you can't just find a relaxing ride anymore everything is a coaster or a next gen thingamabob or a gigantic footprint with 3 figures and 30 screens, but it moves fast and makes flashy lights so you think there's more to it. add that to the hyper complicated irritating reservation systems and lightning lanes and you got the theme park equivalent of a sensory overload during a bad acid trip. Meanwhile Universal is giving us smooth organic shrooms
I think this post sums up EXACTLY what the problem with disney parks is and WHY they are losing attendance.
I don’t blame the customer though… if anything more guests care about the parks now, than at anytime in the past.
And All I keep hearing from people I show the old rides to is "OMG I wanna ride that so bad!!?? Why did they get rid of that? I really missed out!! this is the reaction everytime I show it to someone too young or just that didn't go back then
Oh and speaking of that..... quoting myself here, but I think that the Gen X people that run Disney now are not sure how sophisticated and knowledgeable younger people have become thanks to immediate access to information.
Completely nonsensical leap in logic, but 'kay.
What I mean by that is, While yes the rockwork is impressive, we already have thunder mountain. So that's not adding anything new. So what is the expirience? Is it just a bunch of shacks with cheap looking metal roofs and an entirely outdoor track? I mean I've seen the cars section of Disney studio adventure whateverland and it was basically just that. The toy story land there was so minimal I literally felt like the little disney specific tugging on the loop thing with the seatbelt felt out of place because I forgot that I wasn't at six flags for a moment.
Absolutely perfect and well thought out!
I can't blame Disney here. The masses want the E's. People today aren't planning trips to Disney to ride the new clam shell.
I cant blame Disney for creating more E ticket rides but (in my opinion) I blame Disney for not doing true expansions on new, undeveloped land, as WDW has the blessing of size.
Look at the concept art. It’s rock work (the one thing Disney seems eager to build) and one scene with two AAs. We’ll likely get a bunch of static figures as well.
You have no idea where it will be like that. Also the concept art does show the cars going in and out of places so it seems like there will be some indoor show scenes.
I’m fairly certain you circled the load/unload and a tunnel. If this was going to be an AA extravaganza, the art would show that. The material shown at this stage is a best-case scenario that will be cost-cut significantly - remember the very impressive Guardians of the Galaxy preshow art shown much later in the process?
No one knows what it will really look like when its open, including Disney.
