Ok first of all I’m so annoyed I was going to make a joke about so can we start up a “Monsters Dood coaster rumour against 20 minutes post the show, or should I wait until tomorrow” when I thought the cars rumour was just endless recycling. It was facetious, didn’t actually expect them to pull that one out.
My minor gloating is that I had the cruise ships really nailed and as the president of the Carousel is NOT Coco club, I was vindicated on that one.
I’m not mad about cars. Inevitably my fear with these projects are they aren’t developed for the parks they occupy. WDW has an all too recent unfortunate history with this. Yes sometimes something like Ratatouille just kind of works out. As an ‘every parks fan’ I am just tickled how there was absolutely no clones in that whole presentation!
I think Coco and Moana for Magic Kingdom are dead. In so far as I really don’t think those are coming, it’s actually just way too much for Magic Kingdom. Especially since Villains land seems to be a 2029 project.
DCA, as mentioned, is just fire. No complaints there. I really would have liked a bit more substance to the 70th, but whatever. I am not surprised DLForward failed to feature as clearly Josh took the we are focusing on things that are solid only. I do feel bad for the coaster crew at DCA as I’m sure it was painful to watch both Spiderman and the Door Coaster, which I know they are pining for.
I’m still not sure what the temperature is here, but it seems not hugely one of disappointment?
The show was very good in person. Padded to high heavens. But extremely self aware. I told everyone Josh (unlike Chapek) is not stupid. He knows and references basically every forum complaint with a wink and a nod. Including the just tune in to the parks blog if you don’t want to see the musical numbers wink and nod.
Deadpool segment was hilarious. Talent was impressive. They really did ‘up’ the whole presentation into quite the spectacle. Not sure how much you all loved it from home per say, but it was delightful in person and they really used that mid floor stage so my seats were a lot better than they felt last night for the price.
