DHS CARS LAND

[Disneyhead'71]

Honestly? I'm kind of glad they went with the Circus idea instead of Pixie Hollow. It just seems to me that you can do a bit more with the concept.

Too bad they didn't.

 

[WDW1974]

Not really.
Disney World guests are usually not local and usually are only able to make it down to the park once in a couple years.
Understandably, they get very bummed out when a ride is closed during their visit, which is why Disney World does everything it can to minimize attraction downtime.

None of the other major Orlando theme parks close attractions for seasonal overlays either.

It is a BS excuse.

By that rationale, Disney shouldn't have things like the Food and Wine Festival because of the way they change the park ....certainly no Ozzy and Sharon Lightacular either. BS through and through.

 

[WDW1974]

Huh. I never heard that. I do remember that there was plans for a smaller Circus area and part of that space to be used as a "Pixie Hollow" for Tinkerbell and friends that included a flat ride. Also, I think there was some plans for a Wonderland or a Neverland area.

All true ... But the mine train was included in an early plan for the project and taken out for more meet-greet-and-gropes.

 

[WDW1974]

Something is still "off" with Cars Land and OLC ... must remember to contact Spirit while not tired.

I am here right now and I am very tired.

Just having SHIELD on as background noise is putting me to sleep.

Thought this would interest folks around here because... we've all seen people wear some appalling things at the parks.

 

[Californian Elitist]

I heard that surveys were done on this subject a few years back. When Guests were told about these overlays, a very big chunk of them said they would NOT be interested in seeing these changes, and that they would not plan a vacation to WDW just for these overlays. I am just reporting what I heard.

Yeah, and I've heard they don't do them simply because they're cheap (TDO). I bet it's both.

Doesn't wild arctic? It used to be a major attraction, its barely even that now.

Yeah, but they don't have to shut down Test Track for four weeks to pull out the Food and Wine carts.

Contacted you

Yes, I believe it has a Polar Express overlay during Christmas time.

It does, and for those who haven't seen it, it a great overlay..

Cars Land is out for DHS (it's also out for Tokyo).

Some type of Pixar Place expansion -- which might include a Cars ride -- is still being considered but not approved and may not happen.

 

[Dfan48]

and I would like to remind you guys that Marvel are not allowed In Disney parks in Orlando and in Japan.so we could really see Pixar Starwars or Live adaptations of movies such as Alice or OZ

Bummer. Well, thank you for updating me.

The same could be said for just about every project at WDW...except the vitally important Disney Springs and Polynesian Village Villas.

The problem is not lack of viable properties to exploit.

Amazing how things change over the course of a year.

Cars Land is still wildly popular, but now will apparently remain an Anaheim exclusive for the rest of this decade. Or perhaps forever?

Whatever they have planned for DHS better be really, really good. Like Cars Land good. According to the Miceage update on Tuesday, Disneyland is getting a bunch of Star Wars stuff in Tomorrowland now, including an E Ticket Speeder Bike thing. And that will be cloned for DHS? But then what else does DHS get beyond the Tomorrowland clones from Disneyland? DHS needs something only DHS has to get people flooding the park, and the Great Movie Ride and American Idol ain't it.

 

[Bairstow]

If you don't like the rumors, wait a month.
They'll change.

 

[BaconPancakes]

Are they still planning to close down American Idol soon? *prays*
