D23 2024 Disneyland Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

[Disney Irish]

lol. I'm thinking Avatar was greenlit first. Then Coco being in the same park as Soarin perhaps saved it from being the Soarin/ screen ride pitched for DCA. No reason it couldn't have a been suspended ride though unless maybe capacity?

What was the last suspended ride Disney did? Possible that ride system isn't ideal anymore like it was back in the day.

Pan in Shanghai 2016 and it looks great.

There could, and likely will, be a thread dedicated to the Walt animatronic. At the risk of having to repeat myself when that’s inevitably created, I was looking at the artwork of the abbreviated set for Lincoln when the show goes rotational. I don’t mind the scenery going minimalist, but I will be disappointed if they can’t work in the finale where the setting sun forms an American flag in the sky. It was moving when I was a kid and still gets me all these years later.

So the same use as before, nothing new.

 

[Epcot81Fan]

With the addition of Pandora and Coco can we PLEASE change the name of the park?

It is getting beyond ridiculous.

Where is Coco going to go? Where is DCA’s other expansion pad?

 

[Jiggsawpuzzle35]

This will be at the expense of Rock n’ Rollercoaster.

There’s so much land there. Just use part of the massive parking lot.

They haven't used the ride system for anything new in terms of IP. Its the same use as previous Peter attractions.

They haven't announced it yet, but isn't there a spot behind the Incredicoaster for a dark ride?

oh no they haven't. Although the ride system for Shanghai is definitely enhanced.

On the shuttle back to the convention center from the showcase so I’m just gonna jot down my quick thoughts and add later. All in all it was a surprisingly decent time:

• I know the musical interludes weren’t as fun at home, but I think it being held in the Honda Center + the fact that seats to this panel were a separate ticketed event made the concert/panel hybrid really entertaining. The full orchestra was incredible in person, the Sherman Brothers tribute and Billy Crystal both got a standing ovation, and lots of surprising guest stars made my ticket feel worth it. (Certainly better to fill the time than blue sky!)
• The intro music medley was incredible. Chris Lennertz you damn genius.
• Also kudos to the Broadway luminaries that graced the stage, and god bless Eden Espinosa.
• Super happy with what DLR got this go around. Avatar looks gorgeous with the Shanghai Pirates system, Coco was an awesome surprise, and Avengers Campus really feels like it’s gonna be rounded out.
• The reaction to the Walt AA in the stadium was muted, kind of like in shock? Not necessarily in a bad way, but I know people are gonna be divided over this.
• Sad we lost Monstropolis to DHS but I’m glad it lives on!
• Cars in Frontierland is totally left-field; initial reaction is I hate it but we’ll see.
• Tropical Americas is genuinely so exciting to hear about. Can’t wait to see more at the Imagineering pavilion tomorrow.
• Wish we saw more info on Test Track.
• Villains Kingdom!

Agree they have improved upon it, but its the same ride system. And unless I'm mistaken it still has the same capacity issues at SDL as it does at other Castle Parks.

Aren’t the Pan attractions (which I love) uniquely difficult for handicapped individuals who can’t transfer? I could imagine Disney not wanting to build new ride systems that exclude a chunk of the population, especially in California.

I wish I knew exactly where that spot is. I don't see any space back there. Behind the TSMM building?

I believe they added at least one more row per vehicle.

 

[D.Silentu]

The advantage to having a Coco boat ride, rather than a flying one, is that it is a more relaxed paced ride system, ideal for musical attractions. I say they chose correctly in this case.

I believe it’s on the right side of TSMM. Entrance would roughly be around the band stand area.

I don't hate the cars land in mk....seems like it will be more off road centered with unique rides and not clones. I'm kinda into it
