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

[Tony the Tigger]

Or a knee jerk reaction looking for a quick fix and damn everything else.

Smart business would never had put Spaceship Earth on legs.

I'm sorry, what got damned? The misperception that Norway was accurately represented? The ability to feel better about oneself for liking Epcot because it is the "smart park?"

Fixing the lack of attractions and things to do. What the Brain Surgeons did was take a ride out of circulation for 2 years to put the ride back in that will have higher demand won't be able to cope.

It doesn't fix the root cause of there is not a lot to do and management has successfully removed most of the people eater attractions from that park.

This all goes back to the whole DHS makeover issue. Is that these big movie hits, need to find the right piece of property and having an actual vision or plan for when/where these franchises will debut at WDW and where/when there resting homes will be. Ala Snow White @ MK.

Why don't you just let Disney worry about that?

There's more to do in Epcot than most parks; just the quality isn't there so there's no need for re-rides. If Universe of Energy, Imagination, Innovations and the Seas were top drawer this park wouldn't have any issues imo.

Indeed. It's an easier park than DHS to fix because it has phenomenal infrastructure. It just needs worthwhile content inside the buildings. The park could largely be fixed with a series of refurbs.

I love @jt04

Am I the only one?

'Love' is a bit strong for me but I do appreciate his 'glass-half-full' takes.

Because if Disney had those issues are sorted, we wouldn't have Tomorrowland thematic issues for instance.

 

[Mike S]

How do you know what they took into account?

Because if it was taken into account someone would've said "Wait a minute.... This ride won't be able to handle the amount of guests that want to ride it very well will it?"

Or at least I would hope so.

It's just opinions of other fans. They have no bearing and carry no weight.

You say it's been damned, I say it's a smart move. The end.

Yeah, that's important for non- Disney employees to worry about.

And you don't know that. You don't know if they added more boats. You don't know if they added a little extra track somewhere. You don't know if they added different boats that hold more people.

Just chill out and see what happens when it opens. Can't do anything about it anyway.

Oh that dismissive attitude of troll ... OK pal

I see.

If Disney used half the energy you all are using to rage in this thread Star Wars land would be built in 10 minutes

Cop-out. Yawn.

How about them Brooklyn Dodgers? Are they bums or what?

Bingo. I'd also add that there's plenty of space to add more attractions easily (like putting attaching rides to existing pavilions) with minimal disruption in the parks. Fixing/updating Imagination and UoE and adding new rides to WoL or a few countries in Epcot would be pretty easy and relatively quick to do, it would only require a plan and some money.

The Nymets are my favourite squadron.

First, it's "Wart" not "Ward". They call him that because they want him to HOP TO IT LAD, like a frog or toad would. Second, the Sword in the Stone IS represented, because it's RIGHT there in front of the carousel. The Jungle Book has meet & greets, which not much, but hey. Brave Little Toaster was distributed by Disney, if I'm not mistaken, but not produced by Disney. The Black Cauldron, regarded by many as the worst Disney animated feature ever, will never ever EVER be in WDW again unless there is a massive shift in popular culture and mainstream tastes.

You know what I find odd? Black Cauldron, the film that faded away into obscurity, has nothing to offer. But yet, Song of the South, the film that Disney is forcing into obscurity, inspired one of the Magic Kingdom's best-loved rides. Don't get me wrong. I've seen Song of the South before (thanks to YouTube), and I thought it was a very good movie. But I wonder why would Disney keep a ride based around a film they're trying to force into obscurity around?
