I've largely lost it.I have no desire to take my family back to what WDW has become.
I doubt I'll go back until my son's have children of their own and my wife and I go with them.

It's not about Cars coming to the park. I'm all for it. I feel even if only a handful of people used TSI or Rivers, it was something that kept people out of other lines. Not everything needs to be an E ticket.This is an area of the park that no one cares about except a few online die hards. Disneys job is to make money. That’s it. Nothing else. This will make them more money than the existing, dead land that no one cares about. Again, no one cared about this part of the park until yesterday, now all of the sudden it’s the greatest thing in world history and should always be saved regardless of the fact that that the real customers dont care about it.
that is patently false. People do care about it. Disney has land... They can build this attraction in any of the other parks that need the capacity WAY more then the Magic Kingdom does...They can also expand the footprint of the park and build this where it does NOT completely change the atmosphere and iconic layout of the flagship Disney Castle Park. THere is no going back once this is done...
I feel this way of thinking about the parks antithetical to what made Disney parks different from their competitors. Based on reading the numbers this way, you could justify all sorts of weird things like sticking a roller coaster in the middle of World Showcase lagoon because the Friendships don't rate as highly on guest surveys as Cosmic Rewind.
For years, they've been producing glossy books and documentaries explaining how much thought went into colours, sightlines, transitions, research, etc. to suggest that it was this kind of attention to detail that actually made people happier in Disney parks than those of their competitors.
I find it so strange to just say to hell with all that, surveys show people prefer rides. I even don't understand being that enthused about the possibilities it opens up for the future. With this kind of management and Imagineering, we'll have the Incredibles building a training camp at the foot of Big Thunder.
Yes, while I think the ride itself looks like fun and the thematic elements will look good as they inevitably do.beyond all the million and two reasons there are for not making this irreversible misstep with the park, they also said they are leaving Radiator Springs behind and heading west to new locations... Sounds a lot like the Star Wars Land... A new unrecognizable location that was never in a film and a place no one cares about... This really is a terrible idea... So the internal waterway of the park will be gone forever... This really is the worst idea ever....Cars doesn't even belong in the Magic Kingdom....It should be built in DHS where it would fit nicely...
I wonder if the AA characters will be completely off-model like Tiana is... Like Mater will now be a Chevy Bronco instead of a tow truck and will own and operate an oil refinery and scrap metal yard...Yes, while I think the ride itself looks like fun and the thematic elements will look good as they inevitably do.
This reminds me of Tiana's.
A story that takes place outside of the story.
I love the way Cars Land in California looks - even though I've never been there because of what it recreates from the film.
My sons's would have gone bananas if that land existed when they were little boys.
Looks like they'll at least include an AA McQueen and Mater to remind people what this is based on.
Mater will be all new Electric Mater!I wonder if the AA characters will be completely off-model like Tiana is... Like Mater will now be a Chevy Bronco instead of a tow truck and will own and M
It was a Danny Trejo meet and greet. Trejo is secretly a huge Disney guy.The bear wasn't on the island. I'm not sure what you're referring to with a machete.
I like it. We're not going back.Mater will be all new Electric Mater!
Who needs that hydrocarbon spewing bucket of rust anyway!
Old things have no charm!
Progress!
This is absolutely a reality that many of us need to face. It just means that the very, very unique Disney parks that we came to love dearly will be a distant memory. We're already seeing that happen; it's just happening faster and at a bigger scale.The park has to evolve to be relevant 20-30 years from now. This is part of it. Kids and families barely have a desire to go on these rides now. But 20 years from now Cars/Jeep ride could be a park icon that draws people to the park. Aside from a few diehards the same cannot be said about TSI and the Liberty Belle.
And while I wish this area could remain as a walkway to new lands Beyond BTM the reality is it already takes a while to walk from the hub to BTM, they need something to give Villians Land more connectivity to the rest of the park.
You clearly miss the theme and heart of the movie.I like it. We're not going back.
It could be converted pretty easily into a snack spot/gift shop though, and a pretty cool thing to walk around on, even if it's stationary.Turning the Liberty Belle into a restaurant isn’t some simple undertaking. At a minimum you need a kitchen facility somewhere and a way to quickly move food over and keep it hot and protected. Even then, you’d only be able to have service on decks that can be directly accessed by ramp. If you have dining on the upper level then it needs to be accessible, so you have to add an elevator which is a significant change.
