Rumor Country Bear Jamboree to be Replaced by Toy Story Show?

[matt9112]

This would be an acceptable alternative.

one that would never occur. no return on investment. this is TWDC stop acting like theres some kind of good moral compass here. theres one thing. cash.

Please explain to me how Toy Story would fit in Frontier land.
Even if you stretched to say it would be a "Woody's round up" that still doesn't quite fit the area of the land. I just don't buy it. Sorry

Somehow cut-out critters from a fake 1950s TV show in a movie (in which it plays a minor, backstory roll) equate to a romanticized 1880s frontier town.

How does a western themed variety hour not fit within a western themed land? I can’t think of a better fit. It’s not Toy Story. It’s Woody’s Roundup.

or we could just not?

As much as The Country Bears are part of WDW history, it's not a museum. I agree with that. We've got an attraction here that is largely just an air-conditioned nap for many people. I don't think Walt or even his brother would cling to something this long. Carousel of Progress I completely get, it was Walt's vision realized. Carousel and It's a Small World are untouchable. Everything else should be modernized. When audio-anamatronics debuted, the bears were a technical and artistic marvel. A lot has changed and kids and their parents have changed. It's time to move on.

I get and agree with overall point, but MK is already bursting at the seams and this ride won't charge admission. If they want to move merchandise, just put more Woody's Round Up garb in one of the existing Frontierland stores.

Rex and Trixie's Dinorama

I'm actually shocked this hasn't been tested yet.

Why is everything old "terrifying" these days?

Because it reminds us of the inescapable maw of death??

Replace, not add, a unique original Frontier Land attraction with primary color toys, genius
Maybe update Bears and make toys as targets in Shootin’ Arcade is a better idea
Wondering when the re-theming of the Liberty Square Riverboat with Buzz Lightyear will be announced

Updating the shooting arcade instead was the first thought I had as well. And that thing actually does charge a fee to use.

Woody makes or used to make appearances in FL. Not saying it makes sense (or a good thing), but it's a thing.
Please enjoy my poor humor from 2016...

Spoiler: Woody

Tiana already staked claim to the river boat.

That would make sense. Basically a physical midway mania without the line... hopefully without the line.

The Diamond Horseshoe show idea someone mentioned is also a viable, cheaper option.

This would be AWESOME if a quality job is done. The key word being quality. It’s time for Magic Kingdom to move on. This attraction is a historical relic and Magic Kingdom is not a museum. Plus lets be honest this isn’t exactly a sought after attraction.

As cringey as the idea of a Toy Story Show sounds, the average guest couldn't care less about the Country Bear Jamboree...

 

[GhostlyGoofy]

What if they just update the bears to their Hayley Joel Osment movie look??

 

[marni1971]

If true, this would be a travesty. Everyone has their youngest memories at the parks, the ones that make you a kid again. This was the attraction that i have the earliest memories of. @marni1971 please please say it ain’t so!!!!

Nothing I know of. I know of a proposed content update for the 50th but that’s all.

Man...it really seems like Disney is feeding him some bogus rumors to discredit his site in the run up to D23, that way it is impossible to tell what has legs and what doesn't. That or they are trying to find leaks?

Interesting. I know that site has a reputation for inaccuracy, but things seem more disconnected than usual.

Now THAT would be terrifying.

If Disney really wants to create a Toy Story marionette show, why not they use the empty stage at the Diamond Horseshoe? It will be cheaper to implement the new show there and it will encourage more people to eat there! It will make money!
