See this is where I think TDO may get itself in trouble. I have no problems believing that doing as you suggest here is perceived as the lazy way out to folks at TDA and Disney executives. It would be incredibly counter-productive as it would cannibalize guests who might otherwise go to DL. This is why I just do not believe it was ever seriously considered by TDO. Surely, they have to know the suggestion would go right in the shredder and just make the decision makers question the judgement of anyone who had such a plan. IMO.

Just to make sure we are on the same page, we are just quoting what one of the readers of our site shared with us. We do not have any insider knowledge regarding these rumors, so we don't know if all this will happen for a certainty. Of course, these sound like very interesting rumors, so we were more than happy to share them. That's all.

Right, so let's not go to crazy with believing these rumors or assuming they are correct. They are basically as meaningful as a post on this message board. That makes them good discussion fodder, but not necessarily gospel.
Personally, I'm skeptical of the information as much of it doesn't make sense to me (same Cars Land but with different ride instead of RSR, building in DAK but specifically axing the nighttime show and parade). Most of the stuff if pretty much verbatim quoted off of this and other rumor sites -- which might mean that the person has a "source" validating those rumors or it might mean that the person is just piecing together a bunch of rumors, adding a twist and passing it off as novel information.
Still, it's fun to talk about stuff. We'll just have to wait until D23 to know more concrete plans (which still can change, of course). Maybe we need a countdown clock to D23.

The first post makes no sense. He says he deleted because Disney is investigating but yet he has a pic of himself and his crew next to his name and anyone from Disney can just browse his post history to put the pieces together.

There is definitely nothing out of left field here. These rumors look like they could very well have been ripped from the pages of WDW Magic.
I'm sure what will actually get announced at D23 will change seventeen times between now and then.

I wonder if the cloning issue with RSR is more about weather than anything else. To have the flagship attraction be closed for hours each day with rain does not seem like it will be a cost savings. Perhaps the change is installing it indoors using the same technology but changing the story.

The "not-RSR" rumor is intriguing. I have nothing against RSR, it's an excellent attraction and I look forward to going on it again in a few months. I would just prefer something new. Considering the budget of RSR (reportedly north of $300 million) it's not unreasonable that a "value engineered" Cars Land still includes a $200 million E-Ticket.

But that's how the average guest is going to see it though.
300 million for 1 ride is rediculous
i wonder how much spider man cost when it debuted?
in my opinion of course

Disney files patents all the time without there necessarily being a [stateside] attraction in active development. Planes would first need to be a hit and likely also receive Pixar's blessing on more overt connections to Cars.

While I agree that $300 million for a ride is ridiculous, RSR was $350 million - and that seems to be the going rate these days for a great E ticket.

Have you seen Disney's movie up for 2015? They're spending like $2 billion of movies alone that year! Eisner treated theme park attractions the same way as movies. If Disney still had that attitude about theme park attractions, they would be spending $2 billion on theme park attractions for 2015!
