MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

[Animaniac93-98]

I was catching up on this thread this morning, and whoever said (paraphrasing) the lack of areas like what’s being lost at MK coupled with the overuse of headliner attractions is exactly what makes DHS problematic was bang on.

MK has attractions and areas that most days of the year don’t require planning or waiting to enjoy, Epcot & AK both have large areas of the park that are not attraction focused that can be enjoyed without planning and/or waiting, DHS is really lacking in both parts of the park that encourage walking and taking in the environment and attractions that don’t require planning/waiting. I am concerned what the end result is going to be of them (albeit slowly) converting ‘under utilized’ areas of the parks into E tickets.

That was me.

As much as I like ToT better than any ride at EPCOT, DHS doesn't have anything like Voices of Liberty, the Seas aquariums, the galleries in Japan, Mexico and Norway, Germany's rail garden, Journey of Water, or other attractive spaces to leisurely explore on your own. It could also really use a higher capacity boat ride like LwtL or Gran Fiesta Tour.

World Showcase only has 3/4 rides, but think about how many hours and evenings people spend there.

Other than green army men- they don’t have any live entertainment left. They used to have multiple casts of Citizens (AM & PM), public works, mulch, juggling bellhops, etc.

“The Disney Difference”

But we're not talking about the parks as purely consumers. We're talking about the parks as part of how they are designed, operated, and will function as a business in the future as well.

If you only want to focus on being a consumer - yes, none of this is within your field of view.. just the results of it. If you are talking about park design and operations -- very much part of the discussion.

I have no issue with that type of discussion, and it should be included as a reason why Disney wants to make this change and why it would make sense from Disney's perspective. But it seems that there is a mindset by some members here, who are not employed by Disney or have any professional affiliation with Disney and no stake in any of the design & operational decisions made by Disney, that they want this change to happen, almost as if their own experiences in the park would be enhanced by ripping out TSI/ROA and slapping Cars Land on top of it instead of building it on an empty plot of land that would not include removing any current attraction/area/land. That is a very puzzling thing to me.

Too late, that is where Moana is going.

I know you are joking.

In reality that would be terrible!!!

Having said that, if it happed I would not be surprised in todays Disney.
