News D23 Expo Japan 2018

[Rteetz]

Nope. The last I read, It is supposed to be open in Late April of this year.

April 26th. The quick service opened last week.

"As we build upon its core mission of optimism and hope to inspire the world, the real will become fantastic and the fantastic will become real—in whole new ways at Epcot" - Bob Chapek

Oh neat that must be something original and fitting into Epcot-
Wait Guardians?
What the-


Yep, that sentence made me have a stroke.

 

[DisneyKid239]

Ok here is something that wasn’t on the d23 page, so something somewhat new

 

[SweetDuffy101]

Well.......That was something.......just new info and Concept arts from Disney....as for Tokyo Parks for new areas, guess will have to wait For OLC to announce it in April or May.

 

[brb1006]

Everytime I see that Ren & Stimpy-style tv-based ride getting promoted by Chapek - and I think of it coming at the expense of those beautifully-detailed GMR show-sets - a little bile wells up.

The only meat is the re-theme of the Paris Rock n Rollercoaster.

Disney never fails to disappoint when these "get ready for a big announcement" things happen.

Except for Tokyo

I really didn't pay attention to the D23 expos until the one this past July. Is there only one each year or one overseas and one in Anaheim?

 

[Stripes]

"They're just [urinating] on us without even giving us the courtesy of calling it rain."

 

[SweetDuffy101]

Honestly.

I don’t understand why not give more details about the BatB and Soarin projects

They did a sneak peak at the D23 VIP Lounge yesterday with imagineers the storyline through the queu, and Big hero 6. Queue area as well.

 

[brb1006]

Yikes is that it? Do they know people who go to the Tokyo Resorts would love to get updates on you know...tokyo projects.

They are already hyping up the 35th Anniversary right now that's for sure.

 

[brb1006]

This very well may be the worst piece of concept art Disney has ever released:

Elastigirl is akwardly depicted as a costumed character, while Dash and Violet are literally photoshopped images of the Disney Infinity Figures. I'm not even joking:

I don't even know what's going on with Mr. Incredible, Frozone, and Dash.

Remember when Disney actually put effort with concept art? At least Tokyo still takes it more seriously.

D23, the event where so many have their hopes of new and exciting information dashed on a bi-annual basis.

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

I just want more Epcot info.

You got this statement.

The “Guardians of the Galaxy”-inspired coaster is part of our ongoing work to transform Epcot into a place that’s more family, more relevant, more timeless and more Disney. “

 

[Magic Feather]

Unless a friend was wrong, which is always a possibility, an announcement was cut. Nothing enormous, but it would have given slightly more of a payoff. Steve had good reason to temporarily make the new thread block.

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

Well we did receive some New info on Guardians Coaster in Epcot, it'll be the longest enclosed coaster in the world.

And confirmed that the Star Wars hotel will be connected to Star Wars Galaxy edge.

You got a statement of EPCOT’s future too.

The “Guardians of the Galaxy”-inspired coaster is part of our ongoing work to transform Epcot into a place that’s more family, more relevant, more timeless and more Disney. “

Pretty please!!

Remember kids, there’s a difference between decoration and theming.

Also, stop raping PoMo buildings. Michael Graves had more creativity in his fingernails than the Bobses and Cathy Powell have in their entire bodies.

= Me every time I see/read a Bob Chapek quote. Does he actually believe the BS he shovels?

They said the GotG overlay of ToT at DLR was a hide sucess

 

[Animaniac93-98]

I still can't believe Pixar Pier is a thing that's happening in real life. Every time they release more details and concept art it just looks worse.
