D23 Expo Theme Park News and Announcements

I feel so sorry for the Imagineers having to stand in front of Avatar and Star Wars and say nothing just that yes Avatar may slightly exist and Star Wars may exist one day.

They would be better off to stop messing around doing exhibits about fake research trips and just build something that guests can actually ride.

I honestly dont think it will actually happen. The idea that its just a kneejerk in response to HP is pretty spot on and if you gaged the public's interest in that bit of pop culture, most people wouldnt have a clue as to what you meant.

From the photos I'm being texted, I missed a prime opportunity to photograph some seriously bad cosplay in its native environment. (If you followed my SW Weekends photos, you'd get what i mean)

Is that a model from Western River Expedition in that video? That hurts.

So far, the most exciting thing in this thread is that some people like Bern's as much as I do.

"We don't really have anything to show you, but check out these awesome teasers of stuff we're not sure if we're going to build yet!" Wow, if I was attending that show and actually expecting solid information on anything P&R related, I'd be more than upset.

In other news, I heard there was a fight in the merch store over a doll.

In specific news, I just got a photo of the disney springs model. The Parks Garage should take up all of lots J&K.

A Museum of the Weird comic. I posted the teaser image a few pages back.

Why would they not have the disney springs model that was on display during the announcement at d23?

 

[Funmeister]

Harry Potter 2.0? Transformers? or Wooden crates? YEAH FOR WOODEN CRATES! Be careful boarding you may get splinters. Maybe they plan to drag guests in crates behind the motorcade?

There was no announcement, They just have the model there.

The mention of the new Disney animations and shorts was my favorite of today so far. I can't wait for the release of the The Get A Horse Mickey Short.... knowing Walt voiced it. The wooden crates symbolizing a star wars attraction... whoever thinks that stuff up..... Maybe you can be shipped to one of your destinations in star tours.... Star Tours: The Cargo Experience.

Im fairly confident that picture above the DAK Map on the desk is a real piece of concept art for the land. You can see handrails for a queue and a boat in the waterway down below. The leaked plans had a boat ride if you remember.

oh ok at least its there

So if you call the 1-800 number that is posted next to the AK map, on the AVATAR setup it for a sends you to a free cruise telemarketing line from some low budget cruise line. LOL

Wasn't that the official slogan of this year's expo?

^^^ I had a blast at the '09 Expo. There weren't a lot of people there (when I arrived, there was no line and it was bare) and I got to see everything I wanted to see. STARK CONTRAST to the last one. People, EVERYWHERE, and I didn't get into a single panel.

I see you're dropping Iron Man hints all of the place.

Harry Potter 2.0? Transformers? or Wooden crates? YEAH FOR WOODEN CRATES! Be careful boarding you may get splinters. Maybe they plan to drag guests in crates behind the motorcade?

After many, many meetings, I decided to allow a slight expansion/modification of my original proposal - http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/...ions-thoughts-iv.870129/page-114#post-5641709 .

I supposed boxes made from more solid stuff isn't the end of the world.
