News Cars-Themed Expansion at Magic Kingdom

[Animaniac93-98]

Any chance this gets cancelled before construction starts?

If the IP mandate had to be followed, why not Coco? Why not Moana? Those would’ve at least made sense thematically.

Tropical Americas gave me hope that the IP mandate could be blended with the Disney of old.

But this? Who is making these decisions??

bruce seems to be calling a lot of the shots.

We could always leak a novel coronavirus from a remote lab and shut the world down to stop this from happening.

I’m very pleased they went this route over the alternative for phase 1.

This is going to be a hit, trust me!

If you’re at liberty to say, what was the alternative? Coco and Villains sounded amazing to me.

Hopefully this isn't the Beyond Big Thunder idea. I hate the Cars IP and will be livid if we miss out on a villains land in favor of CARS.

It shouldn’t impact Villains.

Someday historians will ask “When did the concept of Disney theme parks end?”

When this was uttered by the Chairman:

"The American West has always been about keeping your eyes on the horizon … believing in yourself, carving your own path, and striving toward success. That goes for miners in the mountains, bears from the country, a princess from the bayou … or a racecar from the big city," Josh told the crowd.

It frustrates me just how vague they are..

Mentions 2 attractions, but only showcases 1? Doesn’t show land concept art, nor show a idea of how it will connect to frontier?

Nor any dates of course..

 

[solidyne]

Wait, a "reimagined section of Frontierland"??? So this is not going in behind BTM? Reimagined means bulldozed.... TSI?

it is. No Villains and Coco is going to DCA.

 

[AdventureHasAName]

This is extremely disappointing.

On the one hand, a new attraction is better than no attraction (I guess…?).

I'd rather have no attraction.

 

[SteamboatJoe]

Cars Land at WDW should've focused more thematically on the east coast places that we saw in Cars 3 to pay homage to the southeast being the birthplace of NASCAR and the Daytona 500. Just make a completely new land, separate from Frontierland.

i'm very cautious about this; i love Cars so i guess i'm more welcoming to it, but i'm just kinda sick and tired of shoving IP EVERYWHERE in the park. everything and every announcement just feels samey, y'know? like i'm sure it will be an okay land, but just kinda... cheapens the park. something NEW once in a while, please. i want off the Synergy Machine!!!

 

[2600loop]

Whats the kids ride the just glossed over it

They glossed over just about everything tonight I think I know less now than before lol

I think this is worse than the blue sky what if nonsense from the last D23

 

[Brian]

It's worse than I thought. They've already started moving Cars into Frontierland a few days ago.

Harry Potter land changed Disney’s philosophy on the parks and it’s never looked back..

They want to be Universal just as much as Universal showed Disney how IP makes revenue vs creating new fictional stories.

I’m sorry, bear with me. But when I visited Disneyland in 2009 there was no longer the Pack Mules, Stagecoach, Conestoga Wagons, the Rainbow Caverns Minetrain, the Indian Village, or Big Thunder Ranch in Frontierland. So our original home of all Disney parks was not original. I am like most who want to walk in the original park, but I have never walked in an original Disney park and I am almost 60. I think those who want to keep everything original…I get it….but there has not been an original park since 1956. It has always changed. i hate to say it but WDW had massive changes in the 80’s. Since then many more. Kongaloosh. Each generation is unique and expects something different. That’s all

I'm so happy about the villain land announcement that I have decided to retract my previous anger towards this cars ride. Go ahead Lightning McQueen, you can take over Frontierland.
