Yeah. Ride problems, building problems, EuroDisney problems and the loss of a sponsor.And Horizons, no? Disney didn’t want to pay for a refurb and neither did the sponsor, so bye Horizons and hello MS?
I’m currently not a passholder to either WDW or DL (which is a weird thing for me to say / type! Haha) - I have been in the past - I’m not a local though so visiting either required the same travel / lodging expenses as anyone else, even when I had a pass.Another question then, are you a season pass holder or someone who has the ability to travel dw or dl frequently? Because for the average guest, who spends 4k on Disney world - that is their only vacation for the year. And my best guess is, if you visit Disney infrequently then you probably won’t do the boat/island experience frequently if you already had done it once prior.
A bit off-topic, but parts of me wonder how different WDW/DL would look if Euro had been successful.Yeah. Ride problems, building problems, EuroDisney problems and the loss of a sponsor.
And before anyone says it... nothing to do with a sinkhole. It's crazy to think that a centrifuge that would have tons of concrete and tons of physical stress could be built on a sinkhole.
This art was originally for DL Paris. The perimeters represent nonsense at this point.
There shouldn't be any Paris elements. That there are, just goes to the idea that concept art isn't exactly what we'll get. Who knows the amount of fudging is in it?Weren’t there just a few Paris elements used in the art? I don’t think the art was designed for Paris as well. Big Thunder occupies the Tom Sawyer spot.
The walkways in the art seem quite deliberate/not Blue Sky to me.
You are really burning through good will here. We all know there is some reason behind the tone you take on these forums defending Disney's moves with the selective critical remark that you always underline to enhance your credibility.I've been on the Riverboat a few times. But never on TSI. I keep telling myself to go there, but when in the park, I never think about it with so much other stuff I want to do.
So, this October when I go, I'll go see what TSI is all about.
And maybe I'll get it. Maybe I'll drop to my knees sobbing and punching the ground with my fists, scream, "You Maniacs! You're blowing it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!"
Or... right after the trip back from TSI, I'll look back on it and shudder and mumble, "Ew. Dirty."

My last trip to MK was before tron opened (it was testing and doing previews) - i only had a 1 day ticket and yes, I rode the riverboat.
personally - I have no desire to ever ride the guardians tower again - and yet other guests want to ride it over and over again.
I also think the average guests enjoy seeing the steam boat - they always wave from the boardwalk and over by big thunder. Seems to bring them a smile!
It’s one of the only places in the country you can see and ride a steam powered paddle wheel.
So an observation…..
And perhaps food for thought :
We are losing a unique experience most Guests can only ever experience at a Disney Theme Park - a ride on a steam powered paddle boat ‘river Queen’ in an authentic recreation of another time period….
For a very commonplace experience every Guest experiences on their way to said theme Park and almost every day -
Riding in a car / SUV over various terrain in the present day.
Right on Disney.
Got it….
Idiots.

Yes.I saw a YouTube video of Disneyland and the canoe experience. The main cast member was cracking jokes about how once you do this you will never do it again. This kind of sums up tsi and the boat in a nutshell. You will ride the boat once. You will visit tsi once. You will paddle the canoes once. But realistically, will you do it again on a repeat visit?
I find it so depressing how many fans don't care about this because it is apparently all about the rides, which was never what Disney theme parks were supposed to be.In my opinion, this is the worst decision ever in the history of Disney Parks. It’s the most naturally beautiful part of the world’s most popular theme park — and it’s going to be destroyed.
I'm on record on these forums pointing out clunky things in HM such as the cardboard shadow of the pianist that jumps between two positions, the 13 o'clock, the rubber ghoul mask on a janky piston. And yet, I love riding the HM. I'm also on record for removing RoA for more capacity, although, my main pitch was to move IaSW (a much better version) to Epcot.You are really burning through good will here. We all know there is some reason behind the tone you take on these forums defending Disney's moves with the selective critical remark that you always underline to enhance your credibility.
This makes me think that if they took out Haunted Mansion you'd start making jokes about how clunky all the figures looked.
There is a difference between riverboats and steam powered paddle wheels.If you live in the Midwest by a river city then these steam boats are pretty accessible still.
I'm not your enemy. I'm just saying that justifying this by suggesting those who are upset are being histrionic and that Tom Sawyer Island is gross may not be the way to go.I'm on record on these forums pointing out clunky things in HM such as the cardboard shadow of the pianist that jumps between two positions, the 13 o'clock, the rubber ghoul mask on a janky piston.

But, nice try trying to pigeonhole a personality type for me because my opinions don't match yours.
Or trying to psychoanalyze me because I don't fall into the category of unquestioning love of all things Disney or raging hate.
So go ahead and throw that good will into the fire. I don't care. Let it burn.
Oh, one more thing... "We all know..." LOL You got a secret club in which you talk about me? It's flattering.

That said, this seems to be what a lot of Disney fans think naturally beautiful means

Gotcha, had no idea, they all look the same to me.There is a difference between riverboats and steam powered paddle wheels.
Some you are referring to might be steam - Louisville and New Orleans both have them, but many are just decorative.
The riverboat experience you can still enjoy on the seven seas lagoon until they fill that in for a DVC tower cause it’s wasted space haha.
That was just me saying I have no strong feelings either way.I'm not your enemy. I'm just saying that justifying this by suggesting those who are upset are being histrionic and that Tom Sawyer Island is gross may not be the way to go.
I don't have strong feelings about TSI. I also won't call it "ew", though.That was just me saying I have no strong feelings either way.
If you have strong feelings about TSI, then I'm sorry for your disappointment.
