I think Josh was referring to what was announced tonight for AC with that statement

Difference is there is tons of footage of the real Walt, and even though many of us weren’t alive when he was, for adults, our Gen X childhoods included watching all the reruns of the Disneyland tv shows on the Disney Channel. It’s hard to replicate humans and human movement, which is why realistic humans in animation, even Pixar, the facial mapping, de-aging, etc is so hard to do. Your eyes (and ears) know something’s not right, even if people can’t articulate why.

Which three are you looking at? I think we must be talking about different things. I didn’t mean unique ride systems. I meant they didn’t lift Tron or Ratatouille or Rise or MMRR etc etc.
We aren’t getting Radiator Springs. They even changed Hong Kong’s
Cheers m’dears

There are zero clones.
A full slate of completely unique attractions when it would’ve been very easy to do otherwise.
RSR from DCA could’ve been cloned to MK.
Avengers E from DCA could’ve been cloned to HKDL, DAW, SDL, but instead we’re getting a spider-man tower (not even Guardians), and a Spider-Man coaster.
Lion King for DAK (when it happens) is supposedly not a flume, so it’ll be unique then too.

On that note, I'm curious how a Marvel-themed ToT is going to look on the edge of Tomorrowland competing with the castle for attention.

Should compete far less than Big Thunder or Matterhorn at Disneyland.
Very excited for this project. HKDL needed a very solid E-ticket and this will likely be the best ride in the park (or at least challenge Mystic).

Yes! Coco and Encanto are the most exciting for me by far. Avatar looks cool but will be 10 years away probably haha

A scene with the glowing orange flowers with Coco playing the Guitar may easily be the scene I want more than anything else.

Also not sure why they’d need to get rid of the riverboat and Tom Sawyer for Cars. There’s a huge plot to the North of Big Thunder for Villains and a smaller plot behind Big Thunder for Cars.

At the moment, a 5th park isn’t what WDW needs. The existing four need capacity.

I feel bad for Paris. At this point in time, they now have the worst Avengers Campus.

I forgot about Encanto, but that did also look good to me and is exactly the sort of attraction DAK needs. In general, the Tropical Americas stuff was on the positive side of the ledger for me, but I guess I felt we already knew about it and I wasn't among those who felt the IPs were inherently inappropriate for DAK.
Riding through the world of Coco should be particularly nice, though!
Stop acting like you know for sure what Disney is planning. You don’t know, it’s just your opinion. I have Disney employee friends, some who work pretty closely with infrastructure and design, who were really looking forward to tonight’s presentation and announcements, so that they could find out for sure about future plans. If they don’t know, you don’t know.

That whole park is a mess and they're spending a fortune for it to still be a mess.
If this new Lion King land is based on the live action version of the film, they have really lost their minds. Almost as crazy as putting an Alice In Wonderland attraction into Fantasyland based on the live action version.

Interesting. I would assume they would save something for Brazil D23.

I do know…because I know the business numbers behind it.
It’s been discussed on these types of places for 20 years…and it always ends in the same conclusion. No need to bog this down reenacting it again

Well there’s a clone to replace a clone with a clone of the original clone in dak
The Ironman thing is an exact copy of an old Epcot install
And if they’re not doing RSR in Orlando…they’re doing a mocked up version of it with another system…it would seem?
You don’t know. I know for a fact that there have been at least three balloon tests done since 1999, with one being done within the last three years. And who cares how many times it’s been discussed on this board? What does that accomplish? Disney will do what Disney decides to do, without consulting this board. The theme park playing field is always adapting and reacting in Central Florida. Who knows what the future holds for Disney. Certainly not any of us.

Going to put down my thoughts in no particular order:
This presentation was excruciating to watch with the stalling and show tunes. But onto the substance...
Villians Land feels like the main thing people are going to be talking about for the next couple of years. It's awesome to see, and very glad it's going in MK (where it belongs, imo) but the anticipation is going to be high for this since it's been a classic "fanfic dream land" for decades. And I'm not confident that the current team at Disney can match high expectations.
Cars in MK was the biggest disappointment for me and I'm pretty sure is an additional step in wiping Fronteirland of its original theme.
Tropical Americas seems like a net win for DAK. Although it's a shame to lose Dinsoaur, this should ultimately be a much better land than Dino-Rama. They could have provided a bit more justification on how this fits the theme of animals, but hopefully there is more to be seen there.
Monstropolis definitely wins most unexpected. I thought that was finally dead and buried (but where is it going?)
DCA is getting a lot of much needed love, however it comes at the cost of reversing the thematic gains made with DCA 2.0. Puzzling how they continue to chip away at that after spending so much time and money and having done an all around good job with that (also, where the heck is the Coco boat ride going?)
I don't hate the Walt AA per se, but it just strikes me as bizarre and unnecessary. But it at least puts a nail in the coffin of that rumor that the company was moving away from Walt.
