I didn't say me. I said my class, I was the one who explained it to everyone.

And yes seriously. We here know every detail of the attractions. But to someone who either has never been or doesn't go all the time, things are not as obvious. Also people miss a lot, especially if they only ride these attractions once. There is so much stimulation, and with Toads you fly by really quick so its easy to miss details.

I was worried about you there for a second. The rest of you class mates now concern me.

They shouldn't concern you, trust me most are doing just fine.

We live in a bubble here on these forums. We assume that how we experience the Parks is the same for everyone else. And that just is not the case.

You'd be surprised how many details people miss. You should sit there and actually watch people in the Parks one day, its fascinating. You notice little things that people overlook, pass by, or just plain take for granted. Sure the Parks are more popular than ever, but that doesn't mean everyone notices every little detail, no matter how many videos on Disneyland secrets you watch.

I remember one time I Just roamed around FL and would point up to the Evil Queen peeking out the window. I would say at least 75% never even knew that existed before I told them. And before you say they were too busy looking at their phones, these were all people who didn't have a phone out.

Point is, that most people are oblivious of the little details that happen at the Parks. Its no different for the attractions, guests miss all the little details all the time.

If they are registered voters and could not tell on a kid's ride they were in a section meant to look like hell, then your classmates scare me as hell. The worst part being- THEY JUST GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL

Except with Toad its not as overtly obvious compared to Spidey shooting web or punching a bad guy.

All true, but I think for little ones it’s more about the intensity and scariness of “bad guys” factor.
In terms of a family friendly Marvel attraction, Spidey is the obvious choice. Yes an exciting Spider-Man ride battling the Green Goblin would be a total kick, but for little ones it would have needed to be animated classic darkride style as that is less threatening/intense. All things being equal would I have preferred a Spider-Man attraction with thrills? Heck yes! But do I think this is a better choice considering the Marvel and Guardians rides? Yes.
Its really a kids ride that tweens and adults can actually have fun riding with them, which is sorely lacking at DCA.

No because the Justice League ride is actually very good so Six Flags can do good dark rides better than Disney at this point it seems lol

It is good!
I could be wrong but to me this ride looks like a family friendly sort of hybrid between Mania, Justice League and the Universal Spiderman attraction. They really are trying to control your line of sight with these ride vehicles so it’s obviously not just going to be about spinning from screen to screen.
But I will say I’m not a very good person to be judging this sort of attraction in terms of broad appeal. My family and I are pretty “easy” when it comes to FUN. We actually have a blast together on Midway and still do on Buzz. If this is an advanced/plussed version of those, we will love it!
However I would be seriously disappointed if this were the only attraction going into AC. But it’s not.
I do think if you’re visiting the parks alone, these rides wouldn’t be too much fun, but I don’t think you can design rides/attractions for major theme parks based upon that.

The Epcot model has reappeared in Odyssey as a preview Centre type thing.





I know there was some strong criticism of the quality of the WDI pavilion this year... This whole projection mapping thing makes it a bit retrospectively obvious they didn't actually have the whole key hook of the pavilion working properly at the time.
