News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

It almost seems like the imagineers were given a list of required songs from corporate and told ‘make these work.’ There are dozens of Disney songs which have a rustic, country feel and would’ve been no-brainers, but instead we’re stuck with pop songs awkwardly shoehorned. Some songs were very well done, but most of them feel like the imagineers were told to do their best with songs that clearly don’t represent the bears.
Yes, it's very obvious they were told to make these songs work because they don't fit well. I'd like to make my own playlist of more obscure Disney songs. I liked someone's idea of "Little Patch of Heaven" for the sunbonnets though. That'd sound great in 3 part harmony and so much better than them being backup singers.

Maybe those in charge prefer having the more familiar tunes. For me, it's a turn-off because it turns the show into a sing along and there's already too many of those in the parks. Also, if they had a better playlist, I wish they'd reconsider making the show longer. It's hot in Florida, give us more of a break. Would it be so terrible if the show was 15 minutes? I miss the Bear Band Serenade.

Yes. They designed a park with an entrance/exit hub land Mickey Avenue. An IP influence take and the first castle hub park without a Main Street. 2016. So we have our answer. The company in this tomeframehas not bee the company thst would perhaps in the future they could go back to in house creations of that level, but that time is not now nor the last decad le and a half.
Is the land completely themed atound Mickey? Or is it like main street and only in the title?

I honestly dont know. Educate me.

A much shorter, and more simplistic, Main Street/Buena Vista Street combo (in architecture) with the Toontown color scheme. Also features a few Toontown-style buildings like a version of Goofy's House, and a version of Carthay Circle.
Some shocking differences include the fact that nearly all buildings are facades only, the lack of a true Town Square, and the fact that it's just over 220 feet, compared to the US parks' 800' Main Streets. In addition, it has a modified version of Disneyland's train station, but you can't actually access it as the park has no railroad.

Themed around Disney and animated IP. To the point where about every building has to have a character from a toon or movie on it.

It is the most recent hub land built from the company for a theme park, and is themed with Intellectual Properties. Less than half the real estate of other hub lands, and it is filled to the brim with IP.

So when this is brought up:
I disagree. I think Disney would make a non specific IP based entrance hub to a new park again.

We have already had this answer in their most recent largest theme park investment.

So timeless. So Disney.

I think it's quite out of context (and the actual hub of the park is Gardens of Imagination). We have to remember that it's a different market and culture that we only see from the outside. We don't really know what that audience is looking for. There’s also the fact that Disney doesn't fully own the park; we don’t know what agreements were made, but I’m sure the IP was an important factor. If Mickey Avenue had been built in the USA, I would totally agree with the criticism.

So.. its a main street. 🤷 Its a lackluster one but its not like walking through pure toontown. Still just a hub.

Ah I stand corrected then. Well. Case in point on your end then.

I’m not aware of that - and I try to keep up with all things trains! Haha

I think that poster is confusing it with the similar railway law operations that Japan has. The work around was to make it an attraction more than transportation.

That being said, there are always work arounds and it was more budgetary to leave them out.

A rollercoaster is merely a thrilling train, just typically gravity powered in portions it coasts.
