- In the Parks
- No
The fact that nothing that was announced was a clone of a previous ride or a "we're building two" situation was refreshing. All new attractions across the board...

My first reactions
- I am most excited for Villians land, this is something people have wanted for a long time and it's a good fit for MK.
- Night time parade is also a big win, long over due.
- I am on board for Encanto and Indy in MK, although it is sad to loose Dinos from the park. I am glad Indy isn't going to be a clone of Disneyland. I am a little disappointed that they seem to be stretching things to fit the AK theme.
- Monsters is a great idea but we really depend on what we loose for it. If it's Animation Courtyard it's a big win, if it's Muppets/Star Tours it's a big loss.
- Cars is the one I have the hardest time getting behind. The concept of the ride seems fun but it's really a stretch to fit this into Frontierland. Could be even worse if we have to lose something for it.

So a mine car roller coaster and a dark castle or such indoor ride. Maybe it’s like Mystic Manor?

It seems likely to me we will lose Rivers of America & Tom Sawyer Island to make way for Cars, but I really hope I'm wrong on that.
Also do not find the Monsters Inc to be a fair trade for losing Muppets and Star Tours so hopefully it's the Animation Courtyard.
With how much unused and empty space they have, I am getting tired of the constant trades, instead of just creating new areas. Villains Land at least will be entirely new (I think), but they could have done the same with Tropical Americas; there's plenty of unused room in AK.

The cars ride in MK is just throwing me for a loop. It makes zero sense to fit it in there. Considering the amount of land needed for Villains and such. I also don't get how it would fit into theme with Tina's ride in that area.
I guess if you re theme Big Thunder as well, but.. I kinda don't think that is on the table. I'm not convinced they will rip out all of fronterland and make it a "national parks" land.
New parade, yes okay.. 7 years to late but okay.
Villian's seemed way to "blue sky" last min thrown in there. (due to Univseral's park down the road.)
I really hope it's a show stopper, the potential to explore all the villains is huge. But design / exception / show writing / creative choices (ahem, "lets make you big...".) just scares the HELL OUT OF ME RIGHT NOW.
They will dumb this idea down way to much and muck it up.
Let's hope they really do reach into the vaults and pull the classics out for this land, instead of ignoring them.
Everything else about the presentation.. Was well.. HORRIBLE.
The pacing, the random bands / songs.
The power points that felt like they were stuck on a "loading" screen while the idea downloaded.
I dunno who the show director was, but god way to drag it out and get folks to leave half way thru.
If you don't have enough to fill the time, then just cut the show to proper length.. don't try to use random filler.
It DOES NOT work for award shows, it didn't work here.
Let me say that again "THIS IS NOT AN AWARDS SHOW"
Time slot putting it at midnight on the east cost HORRIBLE idea too.
Now all that said, 4 cruise line ships. 4!
That's got to be the most shocking thing for me to hear.
Forget DVC, Cruise is the new golden goose.

Not a lot was said. So let’s focus on what wasn’t addressed.
Capacity.
I’m generally of the mind that they wanted to share positive news. They have no obligation to share or disclose that which may be negative. So, the fact we’re all wondering where many of these attractions are going is worrying.
Did I generally like some of what we heard? Sure. But what is the future for
Grizzly River Run
Star Tours DHS
Muppetvision
Tom Sawyer Island
Riverboat
Hollywoodland DCA (no big loss)
The language used was very intentional. In many cases these new attractions were referenced as an expansion. In terms of Cars/Fronteirland, they said something in the terms of a reimagining, not an expansion or “beyond” Big Thunder.

This was meant for the people there. Doesn't matter how late is was on the East Coast .
Exactly! I think the presentation was great. It was a live presentation not designed to be streamed. So of course the songs and structure didn’t work for those watching an unapproved live stream from far away.

And I still enjoyed that live stream lol
I think replacing Dinoland USA with Tropical Americas is the right move but Dinosaur with Indy to be the wrong one. Were out not for the mandate, an SEA - backed story for an Amazonian excursion would feel a better fit. C'est la vie.

I absolutely think killing rockinroller coaster is on the table here…one of the complaints about mgm is “not kid friendly enough”…
Well that would be a step in their eyes.
Which leaves lame simulators and trackless as the “adult” rides?

Are they? At least for WDW's announcements, there's a lot of reshuffling of existing land. There's substantial concern that the Cars/Villains areas are going to be at the expense of the Riverboat and TSI. Monsters Inc is also an unknown as to where it's going. Rumors are either the Animation Courtyard (according to some people here and Tom Corless) or replacing Muppets and Star Tours (according to Brayden who has proven to be a fairly accurate source as of late). Test Track 3.0 is a reskin of 2.0.. Zootopia replaces ITTBAB. Indy is a reskin of Dinosaur, Encanto/Tropical Americas is a replacement for C&H's and the Boneyard. I'm admittedly one of the people who doesn't have much against the C&H replacement, but it's not an "expansion" either.
