Will there ever be a day when Walt Disney World ventures back into the traditional Dark Ride attraction?
Why does Disneyland continue to build traditional Dark Rides if they continue to fail?
At Disney World, it started with the death of WOM and continued with Horizons, killing 1/2 of Imagination, and changing Toad to Pooh and Wings to Buzz instead of just adding new attractions. The newest traditional Dark Ride built at WDW is Imagination in 1983. There are NONE at the DHS. There are NONE at AK.
If memory serves me, 3 of the 4 MK dark rides have always been fastpass attractions since the system began, and Pooh and Pan continue to be of the busiest of fastpass attractions at the park. It's not as if demand isn't there???
Meanwhile, while the freeze continues in Florida, DL has scrapped a show attraction in CBJ and added an entirely new Dark Ride in Pooh. They also added the Monsters Inc. to replace Superstar Limo, and Buzz most recently. That's 3 new dark rides to a park that already hosts Pinoc, Snow White, Pan, Roger, Alice, and Toad. The pickle comes in when New attractions like Monsters and Pooh remain near walk-ons even on the weekends and are deemed failures at the parks.
Although demand for such attractions at WDW is there and absent at DL, one could only believe, as tradition dictates, that the next US based Disney Dark ride will surely land on the West Coast.
Will this ever change?
Does anybody care? Well at DL they don't.
