DHS Makeover - What we know so far.....

[Rutt]

Would they really open TSL and Pandora the same year?

Im thinking TSL would euther be rushed for 2016 or done really well for 2018

Why not open two lands the same year? More reason for people to come and would help pull more people in to both parks so the resort as a whole is not too packed.

This is Disney though ... open one Year 20XX and open the second Year 20XX, allows them to spread CapEx of one project over another year, plus allows marketing to create two separate campaigns so people come back for two years back to back rather than come once and done.

So then TSL in early 2018? Pandora mid 2017?

So.....Why no Name Change Announcement????

Because they haven't come up with a decent one, yet?

And Frozen, an original Disney adaptation that was a world-wide phenomenon, gets shoehorned into a tiny ride at Epcot. And Toy Story gets a piddly mini-land for the Romper Room crowd.

I don't know that it's fair to refer to 11 acres as a "mini-land". And I kind of like the idea of keeping the Romper Room crowd focused on that part of the park and out of Star Wars Land, in a very "Stay off my lawn!" kind of way.

I'm expecting at that the fact they will have closed 8 attractions and replaced only 4 when all is said and done. That TSL is completed in 2019 and Star Wars completed 2021. With infrastructure projects starting in 2016 and completed by 2017.

But Toy Story is not going to take that long...and they are not going to want that park to be so empty for that long.

Hahahaha why do think they announced yet another yearly special event for DHS its going to be empty and void of stuff to do ... they'll want to get infrastructure out of the way first, they have to build a new costuming centre on property and new prop shop, parking garage and get those kinks worked out first, then demo, then build ...

Any word on if and/ or when they'll shutter Muppet-Vision? I want to prepare myself for the inevitable celebratory rant from a certain someone....

 

[LieutLaww]

As we have no clue where SW or Pixar are going to expand to atm no idea if that whole area is staying or going.

It wouldn't surprise me if the muppet show does well on its revival that Disney won't shoehorn yet another seasonal event into DHS...

2000's Disney- Oh, no. We'll never get DHS fixed now.

1970's Disney Exec- So certain are you. Always with you it cannot be done. Hear you nothing that I say?

2000's Disney- Master, expanding Fantasyland is one thing. This is totally different.

1970's Disney- No! No different! Only different in your mind. You must unlearn what you have learned.

2000's Disney- All right, I'll give it a try.

1970's Disney- No! Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

2000's Disney- I can't. It's too expensive!

1970's Disney- Budget size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my wealth, do you? Hm? Mmmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Fanbase. And a powerful ally it is. Expansion creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we... not this crude stock price. You must feel the Fanbase around you. Here, between you... me... the tree... the rockwork... everywhere! Yes, even between this budget and that concept art!

2000's Disney- You want the impossible.

1970's Disney- *sighs, raises hand, builds EPCOT Center in 3 years*

2000's Disney- I don't... I don't believe it.

1970's Disney- That is why you fail.

Sorry, couldn't resist (actually am excited for the Star Wars stuff).

Kudos!

Speaking of, does anyone know what the reception has been to the Disney Jr. bits? I caught two, one with Bobo and one with Pepe, and they were both very amusing.

SW could be way off. I'm trying to confirm which direction they (literally) chose.

As it stands it may not be going anywhere. I'm still trying to confirm what I heard this week.

It seems one answer generates two more questions still.

Which is why I used the quantifier "if". Touche'!

How is this NOT an actual expansion? Last I checked I couldn't go behind Toy Story Mania. Sure it's using Backlot tour space but still, to me that's expansion and I have no problem with Mickey Avenue going away.

Only mystery is Star Wars and it's location. Expanded behind the current ride? Built next to it on either side? If built next to, then no, that's not a true expansion.

I'm hopeful Cars Land gets announced in 2017. They still need a Rat ride or Monsters coaster on top of that though. IMO.

They're giving this park what it needs (or hopefully will) and people still aren't happy. I'm not 100% yet until I see other details and we get a dark ride (or three) but it's a great start. What's the *real* issue here?

 

[Chef Kronk]

Do any of you think we'll hear anything else about DHS today, or is that it? It's probably a long shot, but was just wondering.

 

[Kman101]

Studios is a five year plan. Aim for 19-20 for SW to be completed. One would assume TS 16-17.

Five years starting in 2015? 2019 should have been their goal for DHS and it's 30th. Makes sense to promote the new park name, lands, etc. for it's 30th.
