Ooooooooooooh no.
I’m referring to the screw up job they did redesigning Future WorldWorld Showcase Lagoon does seem like it has huge potential for new Lands...
@lentesta , now you are just starting trouble on the boards...... It is fun though.That means Hall of Presidents goes away too. And that's also okay.
I've had a harebrained idea that they need to at least discuss the possibility of a north entrance/exit through the villains expansion. Bus plaza + some kind of super-preferred parking.Oh, god - the park ops transportation and logistics are going to spawn a hundred research papers. It really will be a challenge.
Also, Cars isn't about cars. The cars are the characters but like... Steamboat Willie isn't a film about mice, it's a film about a sailor. The cars are the "actors" in whatever genre of story they want to tell, including a Western.Not really. Two different concepts entirely. The "draw" of the Speedway is driving you own car - being in control and all that.
I think the Speedway is bad and should be replaced, but it doesn't become redundant by this.
liberty square is gonna be fine, I mean wdwmagic himself was hinting at a muppets HOP replacement
The ten people who visit the island?I know this can be thrown around a lot, but this is going to be the breaking point for a lot of people…
I had some hope that the pendulum might be swinging in the other direction on this. The American Adventure came out of its refurb unmolested. And the Spaceship Earth refurb, which was motivated by a lot of the reasoning you alluded to (have you seen the ride-through?), was abandoned.
This willI have no attachment to ROA or TSI (although I enjoy the scenery). However, Disney is showing they will do anything they can to not increase capacity. They just keep replacing it. Attendance may be down right now, but as we've seen in recent years, they need the additional capacity for crowd management.
But why not just Villains land and skip the cars of whatever else they were planning?Not that it's going to make people feel any better, but this was one of the costlier options pitched, and makes a broad attempt to fit the area better than most others.
Now that word is out and the dust is settling, a little more information is slipping through.
Once their original BBTM plans were scrapped, Coco's massive showbuilding precluded it from being relocated. Cars won, the ROA's fate was sealed.
Villains - despite being a disparate collection of ideas even to this date - was by far the favorite to win over the singular BBTM expansion plot. The art as shown is suggestive of theme and style but not related to a practical model. Yet.
I've had a harebrained idea that they need to at least discuss the possibility of a north entrance/exit through the villains expansion. Bus plaza + some kind of super-preferred parking.
I think this will have been the argument internally, and is ultimately difficult to overlook.The water is beautiful and I love walking this at night during fireworks, but it's mostly unused and the park needs capacity.
Because it’s close to impossible get a huge volume of people back to the villains land. They’d have to take out a huge portion of ROA and TSI anyway.But why not just Villains land and skip the cars of whatever else they were planning?
Oh no doubt, Hall of Presidents sucks. It already feels like a worse version of AA, and it never really belonged in Magic Kingdom.I think the things keeping American Adventure from a substantial update are:
Looking at Hall of Presidents, I mean, where does it go from here? What could Disney possibly do to it to make it an actual draw with guests while maintaining anything like its current narrative?
- It's huge, so updates would be super-expensive. And I'm not sure they're convinced there's an ROI.
- No matter what you change, half the country would be upset.
Or put another way: would you trade Hall of Presidents as it is, for a Muppets version of American history?
