This is perhaps subjective, but the fact Tiana is still set a century ago and all visible references to that period emerge once you pass under the railway tracks doesn't fundamentally alter the feel of the attractions around it. At the very least, the land remains visibly anchored in a rustic past and, cognitively, it is not that hard to process walking from the 19th to the early-20th century any more than it is to walk between geographical regions within a single land.
Again, if you look at the Disney Parks as a whole from that perspective, then not a lot would make any sense. Think about it.
Disney hires manufacturers to build ride systems for them. The slot car system used on Test Track and Radiator Springs Racers was developed by Disney.
The tone has shifted away from a period in time to a celebration of the wilderness, ode to the great outdoors.
Semantics. Thank you for the clarification!?
I could actually picture them doing that. I'll take Cars in Frontierland over that easily.
I agree, but it could be worse. At least it's not another Toy Story ride. Remember THOSE rumors?
Really? Non-IP attractions like Soarin', Test Track, Kilimanjaro Safaris, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Expedition Everest still get long lines, don't they?
Between this and the removal of the riverboat from Tiana's Bayou Adventure, riverboats must not be allowed in the Magic Kingdom anymore.
You joke, but a Country Bears dark ride would be really cool.
Buffalo Bill Cody died in 1919. Annie Oakley died in 1926. Wyatt Earp died in 1929. I’m a bit more forgiving of the 1920s in Frontierland as people who helped defined that era lived to see that world.
I can see constant E-stops for an outside ride like that because a squirrel ran across the track or a branch fell. Sounds like an ops nightmare tbh
I don'ta actually. It was blusky'd a LONG time ago. I agree it would be cool. Dare say a better fit.
and they get long lines cause they’re all great, but you have management that wants IP and customers who complain about certain IP not being in parks. That’s their mindset with new additions- all those are nearly 20+ years old at LEAST.
I’d be all for it, assuming they were driving either whimsical vehicles like in the scrapped Critter Country 500, or vintage cars like those rides you see in smaller parks where you drive old 1900s cars through wilderness.
They wanted that last-surprise announcement at the end. Here is another reason they should have announced it alongside Cars: even though Magic Mirror was talking to Josh, when he said the word "tommorow" and the phrase "a land is twisted and broken," I immediately thought it was an announcement about Tomorrowland. I think audience members did too, because the place erupted when that phrase was said. Though Villains was still a nice surprise, their choosing of words to announce it left us Anaheim fans disappointed again.
