This info is all rather vague. The thing I find most surprising is that Star Tours will remain indefinitely after Star Wars Land opens. How hokey and cheap.

And if WDI is serious about all the Ren Faire-esque detailing for the land and its CM's that Miceage talked about last year, how the heck do you square that with 1980's simulator ride operation using the exact same IP???

Some of that Koenig info seems all too vague and a tad inconsistent. But I guess we'll see.

Star Tours seems like a fairly easy way to get Marvel into Disneyland. I'm surprised that (apparently) isn't the plan considering that something like HKDL's Iron Man Experience is a reasonable fit for Tomorrowland and presumably an inexpensive overlay.

I absolutely could believe this report, it squares with TDA's recent history of totally inexplicable land management strategies. Sure, spend a lot of money demo-ing Toad, something that is beloved and takes up barely 7,000 square feet and uses every inch of it well by servicing more visitors in a day than that 43,000 square foot tent theatre beloved by nobody and which sits empty for 85% of the operating hours. It makes as much sense as destroying sections of two attractions and important service areas when there was an empty parking lot 800 feet to the west.

More than anything, it seems obvious that they don't care about theme park operations or optimizing land usage or master planning for the future of the resort or even about the theming their "theme park." They care about getting whatever brands they want in there in the loudest way possible, so that their garish additions can drown out the homespun charm.

You might be getting a tad bit ahead of yourself.

Clearly the only way to appease the diehard fans is for management to never ever dare think about changing a thing, maintain a continuous flow of heritage anniversary celebrations for DL and "classic" attractions, and keep the shops stocked with limited edition park related merchandise.
