HS

• Villains Land at animation courtyard
• Galaxy’s edge expansion

So with it being pretty much confirmed that Disney isn’t doing any livestreams this year does anyone know of any YouTubers that are planning on doing it?

God, I’m scared they’re not gonna deliver, and do more of the blue sky stuff. Idk how true the “cm steams only” thing is, but it doesn’t give me much hope. I mean Moana, TLK, TT3, and tropical americas would be fine, but i would hate another strining along of “we might do this” because in reality it’s because they are too scared to fully green light stuff

I’m beginning to think that even in the very best case scenario (lots of huge things have been green lit) we’re still not going to actually hear about the half of it at this D23. They’d want preserve something big for Destination D next year, and something for the Expo the year after that.

Even if they’ve “seen the light” and are going to pump billions into the parks over the next 10 years, that means they have 10 years of announcements to make. Why blow it all this weekend?

I predict detailed announcements about the obvious things coming (DL Avatar, Avengers E, Tropical Americas) and that’s about it. Maybe Beyond Big Thunder phase 1.

That’s it.

Unbuckle up.

That’s not why they did that

 

[Advisable Joseph]

Tough to Be a Bug becomes Zootopia PD.

I think it is very doubtful that they will focus on a police station. It looks like some sort of "We are all part of the Tree of Life" story.

 

[SpectreJordan]

I might be wrong but wasn’t it only the Destination D23, in Orlando, that normally live streams the parks panel? Not the full blown D23 expo?

A lot of SDCC panels, Marvel Studios particularly, are done similarly. I'm not sure why companies still do this, it's very outdated & it would be such easy marketing to livestream for thousands to watch.

I think the excuse I've seen is that companies claim it's to give the fans who show up a treat, which is BS IMO. The people who go there are treated by getting to see everything live & in person. I went to the Star Wars Celebration 40th anniversary panel & it was a dream come true; the fact that it was livestreamed did not affect my enjoyment of the panel at all.

That's not too shabby for DLR. Especially if they announce that the Avengers ride will be using the Cosmic Rewind ride system. I know that its supposed to be that Scoop like ride system but don't the OLC/ foreign parks usually have an exclusivity clause on these things?

I think you'll also hear some announcements for the 70th including Lincoln and the entertainment.

 

[trainplane3]

No. Brazil Pavilion was supposed to be announced at the 2017 D23 and was supposed take up one of the empty expansion plots in world showcase.

Three Cabs were very involved for Brazil. Train garden was the Brazil plot.

 

[TTA94]

So with it being pretty much confirmed that Disney isn’t doing any livestreams this year does anyone know of any YouTubers that are planning on doing it?

That’s what im wondering. More importantly a YouTuber who will stream it properly, good view and keep their mouth shut so we can enjoy and hear the stream lol.

I’m guessing it’s for movie and tv show panels. They dont want people filming trailers and stuff.

 

[TheDisneyParksfanC8]

Possibly in HS. A small group of people within the company have a vision for it.

At this point in its existence, I don't Simpsons is hot enough to warrant a fully fledged land at this point.

 

[OptimusPrime]

Yeah. One big one is the Marvel Animation preview panel that would be like that. They won’t want people leaking the X-Men 97 stuff or whatever

 

[Charlie The Chatbox Ghost]

Villains Land at animation courtyard

Is there a reason people are expecting Villains Land in HS instead of the originally proposed MK? I feel like they’d be stupid to not put a “dark fairytale” land in the plot directly next to both Fantasyland AND the Haunted Mansion. You don’t get better smooth transitions than that.

 

[BrianLo]

They’d want preserve something big for Destination D next year, and something for the Expo the year after that.

Last year was very atypical. I don’t think anything of substance has ever been announced at destination, other than last year. Typically they’ll flush some existing projects out, at best.

Even if they announce ‘all these things’, there’s plenty of detail to spice up Destination next year.

Ride, not ride system. It’s scoop, you’ll be sad if you expect otherwise

 

[mickEblu]

I'm not expecting it. It would be a nice surprise though.

No problem! The rate limiting step is going to be HKDL. Cosmic Rewind is way more expensive than what budget they have to work for. It’s a good sized budget but not that generous.

That makes sense. Alright I guess it's finally time to give it up haha. If a new E ticket coaster is coming to DLR it'll have to be on one of the DL Forward expansion plots. So is Hollywoodland still the location for Avatar last you heard?
