too late!
And Universal did away with their original theme as well, and to add insult to injury stuck a big obviously fake house in the middle of the entrance and gave us a half-a**ed story and queue. I will be the first to admit that this isn't the greatest idea but when all Universal gets is praise when, in reality, they did something pretty similar recently, I have to question the legitimacy of people's complaints...
Universal does a lot of stuff at 85%... Things like Minion Mayhem and Transformers are among those. Diagon Alley is not.And Universal did away with their original theme as well, and to add insult to injury stuck a big obviously fake house in the middle of the entrance and gave us a half-a**ed story and queue.

Minion Mayhem in Hollywood is a different story though.Universal does a lot of stuff at 85%... Things like Minion Mayhem and Transformers are among those. Diagon Alley is not.
It's strange too because historically that park has been a disjointed mess.Minion Mayhem in Hollywood is a different story though.

Same for their Springfield.
It's being reversed so entrance is the exit, the exit is the entrance, and the theater is the preshow.But, I don't see how the old Norway film will fit in- have they said what will be in the theater area, at the end of the ride?
Thanks.It's being reversed so entrance is the exit, the exit is the entrance, and the theater is the preshow.

No reversing of the ride direction. Load and Unload will just take place where Unload was previously.Reversed? Huh. So maybe, in the Frozen ride, guests go DOWN the tunnel instead of UP the tunnel as they did in Maelstrom?

Didn't mean to imply that the ride direction was being reversed, my bad.No reversing of the ride direction. Load and Unload will just take place where Unload was previously.

Remember when the rumor was Phineas and Ferb were going to be the theme of a ride where Imagination was. Some were all for it. Now the show is over the popularity of Phineas and Ferb has passed. I believe Frozen will not ever be "forgotten" but I hope that it is viewed as a "Disney Classic" many years from now to justify this ride.Children like adults are more fickle than ever before, what's popular one minute is forgotten the next.
Loom bands anyone?

Makes you wonder why Disney didn't go ahead with the Phineas and Ferb Imagination thing.
I last went to Disney in 2012, and I saw A LOT of Perry merchandise.
I'm not saying there isn't still interest in the show, characters, etc. what I'm saying is exactly what your graphic shows. Immense popularity late 2011 into 2012. 3 years later the popularity dropped dramatically. Give it five more years and the aging of current children and check your graph again. All this boils down to not warranting a ride. The IP needs to have achieved classic status or project to have the staying power to become a classic. Even mega shortterm success does not indicate it will become classic.And yet...
