Kinda random with the topic, but, the main problem with Disney parks right now is the constant influx of temporary attractions:Star Wars Launch Bay,the cabanas in tomorrowland, the stage in tomorrowland.
Their management makes no sense; they want profit, but they won't spend more to yield more on what guests want. In Almost ALL cases, guests want NEW rides and attractions.
The part that I don't understand is that WDW has practically gotten NO NEW attraction during Iger's leadership. In my opinion, the last good NEW attraction they got was Toy Story Mania back in 2008. Almost everything else was a clone or retheme. When we as guests start paying $100 for admission, we expect good quality attractions and offerings. And let's face it, the big amount of temporary looking attractions makes Disney more of an amusement park, rather than a theme park, which is why Disney holds a special place in my heart, and so does for everyone else on the forums.
What Disney should do with The Great Movie Ride is keep it as is, but repair/refurbish broken effects (what happened to all the wind in the fantasia scene?). A Great Mickey Ride (not the title) should head to animation courtyard and replace Star Wars Launch Bay (how many Star Wars things do they need?! "Rants").
A theme park is not just concrete shaped like a castle; it has a special purpose or mission associated for the park. Magic Kingdom starts off as a normal day through life (Main Street USA) but when you look ahead, you know there's a huge castle in front. Magic kingdom literally transports you to each of the realms and environments of fantasy; tomorrowland, fantasyland, etc.
But each of the other parks have their own themed purpose also.
Hollywood Studios was a real, working movie studio, with each attraction as its various counterparts on the set.
Personally, since there is no more filming at the park, the new theme is that the park is essentially a set, where each guest is a starring role for the park. To make this effective, they need various simulated film production aspects: a sound production studio, a GIANT picture Camera sponsored by Snapchat, and of course, the sets themselves!(toy story land, Star Wars land, The Hollywood Tower Hotel, etc.)
Even Snapchat replacing Kodak as primary sponsor is Better than adding nothing in the long term.
