I mentioned this earlier in the thread and may be in the minority here, but I find that land appealing more in spite of all the references to cars than because of them. I would actually find it more visually appealing if it was a romantic recreation of Route 66 with the same architecture, neon lighting, and landscape without shoe-horning in car parts to everything.Would you not call Radiator Spring beautiful? They are all designed to look like the back end of cars.
I’m sure the average guest is not paying attention to any of those Jungle Cruise changes.Combine this with losing Splash and it’s damn near. Not to mention the idiotic woke decisions to change jungle cruise and get rid of the red head scene. Fans have reached a boiling point. I get it. Thank god I stopped going 6 years ago. Saved a lot of money.
True but the average guest sure as hell hasn’t seen Song of the South either.I’m sure the average guest is not paying attention to any of those Jungle Cruise changes.
Splash Mountain I will definitely agree with you on as that could have been saved.
It's reported they are keeping the original show too...Well they are also getting rid of Great Moments with Mr Lincoln and replacing it with a Walt Disney show at Disneyland so they are erasing American history from the parks. Nothing is sacred to these IP hounds
The root issue isn’t replacement. It’s a complete ignoring of context. This project is not actually responding the fundamental design and organization of Liberty Square and Frontierland. It’s a McMansion being plopped into an old neighborhood.
If they actually had talent left at WDI we’d actually probably be okay with it for the most part. We all know WDI is a joke now.Way too many of y’all want magic kingdom to stay a museum.
Let the imagineers cook. It could turn out bad or it could turn out really good, but there is way too much serious attachment over certain sections of the theme park.
Walt Disney never built the theme park in hopes that everything would remain the same and be preserved for 100 plus years.
He equally wanted Disney land to show case his own ips, but also to create a park that would continue to build off imagination.
PROBLEMATICTo paraphrase Harold Ramis in Stripes: they're not ignoring it, they're abandoning it.
There's no clear path forward with new attractions based on the original concepts of Frontierland and Liberty Square. They're problematic eras in American history.
Beyond that, the current attractions are not popular, generate no Lightning Lane or merchandise revenue, and provide relatively litle useful capacity.
Given the mandate to put IP everywhere and drive LL revenue, the creative and business cases seem like they're pretty clear.
Got links?His grandchild have been very vocally opposing it as have former imagineers. They were being very disingenious that they “got permission from the family” when only 1 of Roy’s family was ok with it
The Iger Company continues to think the average guest is a drooling moron who will happily lap up whatever they toss out.

And that’s why we’ve seen such stunning failures for Disney parks.
It’s visible from Frontierland, Liberty Square and anyone approaching from Fantasyland or the Hub.But TSI is in the back corner of MK. It's not in the center of the park. It's not going to be seen by a lot of visitors. The castle is the center.
It’s part of the parody of the skit they were doing on the video, having those items while saying the stuff they were sayingI have to be honest, that GIF made me chuckle when you juxtapose what he's saying with the fact he's sitting surrounded by hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of product.

This is somewhat dismissive considering a big part of the appeal of the original Disneyland was the nostalgic look back it offered to parents and grandparents of that era. Maybe thats an argument for why some of these things should be replaced as time does march on, but the appeal of nostalgia should not be completely ignored (nor, similarly, overdone).Aside from nostalgia warriors....
lol at people getting mad because they think this is "woke"
