News Disney Not Renewing Great Movie Ride Sponsorship Deal with TCM ; Attraction to Close

[marni1971]

It's not like Joe really has a say in the matter. He's in charge of all things Marvel stateside..

Perhaps not for much longer.

Perhaps not for much longer.

Leaving the company after Pandora?

Leaving the company after Pandora?

Moving to areas less Marvel. Maybe.

Oh...

Joe Rohde is losing his creative credibility by being in charge of turning Tower of Terror into the giant oil refinery monstrosity in Anaheim.

Or... the rabid fans of a drop-ride in Anaheim aren't that large a segment of the population of the U.S. and this has little to zero impact on his life.

It's not like he's getting tipped every time someone rides an attraction he helped design. Or that he won't be loudly lionized in the theme park biz as Pandora opens.

So, this karma revenge fantasy is not likely to ever happen.

I appreciate him more for his involvement with DAK to be honest.

 

[brb1006]

I'm glad some of you know him so well personally to decide what he is and isn't a fan of. (Edit: and no, I don't believe he's a fan at all of the Mission Breakout overlay, but he's paid to do a job and I'm sure he wants to keep said job). And let's not forget he's aware of these boards.

Wait he's aware?

 

[MotherOfBirds]

I feel like Rhode is in more of a Musker & Clements situation, and this is his Hercules. I can't lose respect for the guy, given his situation and his batting average.

 

[Kman101]

Wait he's aware?

Supposedly a lot of people are quite aware of these boards.

 

[Rodan75]

There definitely should have been a third ride in addition to Toy Story Mania. A Woody ride was rumored in the beginning and could have gone in the area that was taken away, the Woody Roundup area. Shame. And shame they cut what they did already.

I would be all in if they had added a CBJ style Woody's Round-up show. That would have been awesome.

They are.

I know everything cannot be an E-ticket, but every land should have one....and an E-ticket can be a family attraction...
yes the park does need balance... they also need capacity... building only two attractions, and one of them a spinner ride does not balance a park that is already woefully low in attractions. Family attractions don't have to be Spinners...they could actually create new and exciting things... "Family Resort"? What does that even mean?... Why would adding better attractions make it no longer a "Family Resort"? I was not suggesting a strip show or adult theater...lol

Well the land will have one E ticket one B ticket and one D ticket pretty solid land if you ask me

He could go to Universal Creative in protest. It would probably be better for his reputation.

Disney to some degree still allows him to do the sort of stuff that clearly peaks his interest, namely Disney's Animal Kingdom. Universal only does the sort of stuff you are saying he should leave over.

It's how they find out what's happening in the company.

Then you are easily pleased and are their target market audience. The net gain for the "new land" is actually just the two rides since Toy Story Mania has been there for years...And that my friends is why Disney doesn't bother to aim higher... To some, it's already "Pretty Solid".

Another worry is TSMM is considered an E.

Without getting into the whole ticket argument again.

Would this possibly be in relation to any Magic Kingdom 50th anniversary plans?

I would love to see Joe in charge of a Frontierland expansion

It's a fun attraction, but it's an empty warehouse and screens. Even I, with a glass half full of pixie dust, can't stomach calling it an E. No doubt it draws crowds, though, even before half the park was shuttered.

They have wild parties with champagne and caviar, wild women and loud music.

(Probably not)

But It is a ludicrous amount of money even including clearing and prepping the land.

Does it include the costs for exorcising Walt's, Roy's and the old dead imagineer ghosts from the land?

 

[Cesar R M]

They are.

Does this means that if I ever meet Joe Rhode.. and I ask him about "That marny from the forums". Will he say "Oh yes, I know him"?
