Yawwwnnnn. Insiders constantly teasing stuff but rarely spilling the beans. Wrong more than they are right and/ or Disney changes the plans last second. And then when Disney does announce plans it’s a mixed bag or it’s something awful like the ROA getting replaced by a Cars ride. Suckling on the rumor mill teat for news that will most likely disappoint the majority of us. Then hanging onto every detail and little bits of news during construction for an end result that will also likely disappoint the majority of us. Gross cycle. Maybe this used to be fun when Disney was good at what they did?

Why should the insiders even bother to post anything anymore? Many dismiss anything unless it comes from the Mouse.

It wasn't an insider it was just someone guessing if Pooh could close since Steve said "three attractions" would be closing or something like that and someone assumed it was Pooh. Sorry I should've been more clear about that.

I don't even have a good reason for think it's Pooh, it's more of a 'gut feeling' it'd be going soon? Once again, don't even have a good reason and it's more of a dark horse pick for me and would be frankly horrified if it DID leave.

Unless Pooh got a better ride. I'd like that.


The three 'controversial' attraction closures has me scratching my head and trying to figure out what can fit the bar of controversial and 'would make waves' outside of flagships like Tower of Terror, classics like Tiki Room and fandom favorites like Imagination.

HoP in this case just feels... Too obvious?

I would bet money that Pooh pushes merchandise. (Says the mom who had to buy loveys for my babies first trip to Disney at this ride)

Oh Pooh is a HUGE merch pusher, he's actively dethroned Pokémon in terms of revenue for franchises! I just think he's in a spot where he can easily be yoinked out? I don't really see Disney use Pooh anymore these days, but he still pushes merchandise.

Iger does love his merch, but the last time I went I was pressed to even find a plush Pooh...

What else would they wanna rethemd that’d be popular? Buzz? RNRC? Something else?

I noticed they rotate them. When my 6 year old was 1.5 it was plush Piglet year and when my 3 year old was 1.5 it was Roo. Roo is adorable, but Disney merch is limited and inconsistent anyway!

I like it. Moana’s rainforest mountain thunder. With an exploding capibara. She is escaping atomic fallout from the testing in the Pacific 1950s. While looking for a magical bed and singing fish for a luau.

As for the three rides… think high capacity, low demand, and doesn’t move the LL needle.

They are targeting anything and everything that does not sell LL. More capacity works against their business model. It is now scarcity and popularity.

COP and HOP definitely fit that bill.
