Thank you, Gilbert! BTW, loved you in the new Sharknado!

Here's the new poster....

If I remember correctly the ride system will be trackless correct? I hate to say this but how big is the building for Toad at DL? That would be the logical area to put it unless they plan on building a brand new building.

Way too big for the Toad building.
Same for Riger Rabbit.

Toad is safe (from this anyway)

That makes me happy I'd love to have some of the originals in DL remain...while TGMR is fun, it's exciting to possibly get a new ride...on both coasts...

So you think it's something they would build while they are building out Frozen area?

I can't help but think there might be reasons that a Mickey Mouse ride has not been done. It's one of those things that every two-bit Armchair Imagineering comes up with.

Not a ride, but I believe the Mickey Mouse Revue was at least a D ticket.

Steps to not freaking out due to discussion board rumors:
1. Believe it when it happens. This is not to say that well connected insiders have incorrect info, it just means that plans often change.
2. Wait to see what the new attraction is. And I don't mean wait until it's announced or we see some concept art; I mean wait until you ride it.
3. Be upset or happy.
4. Freak out or rejoice accordingly.
(Important note: Changing the order of the aforementioned steps is not permitted and is nonsensical.)

1. Freak out or rejoice accordingly.
2. Wait for Disney to announce it officially.
3. Freak out or rejoice accordingly.
4. Wait for the first concept art
5. Freak out or rejoice accordingly.
6. Wait to see the first on ride video
7. Freak out or rejoice accordingly.
8. Wait until you ride it.
9. Freak out or rejoice accordingly.
10. Wait for Disney to announce it's closing.
11. Freak out or rejoice accordingly.

Which is part of the reason I used the word 'ride' and not 'attraction.'

Then they should have closed that ridiculous SW memorabilia exhibit aka Animation Building, and put this attraction right there! This is one of those moments where I wish I was a fly on the wall when this was discussed and agreed upon.

No doubt this could fit perfectly into the old Animation courtyard. It's not like Launch Bay should remain once SWL opens, leaving yet another area of the park needing to be addressed. No reason to displace GMR when it is badly needed in the attraction lineup right now.

How nice that this building has a flat floor to accommodate a ride system we have long wanted in FL. And the kiddies who can't ride the trackless SWL ride can go on this.

Why wouldn't they be able to ride trackless SWL ride, is it supposed to be intense/have a higher height limit?

 

[KingOfEpicocity]

It would be awesome to have it start in 1930s Hollywood. With the beginning of Mickey Mouse. That would actually fit into Hollywood Blvd. but it'll most likely not have anything to do with anything. Hope at least they use the new Mickey design. Love those new shorts.

I am guessing the star wars trackless ride will be more intense and have a lot of thrills. If it didn't people would be disappointed. With that the height requirement is probably higher than too.

I'm curious if there's any good way to repurpose the best GMR animatronics into a quiet little walk through attraction off to the side of Hollywood Blvd. Make it even MORE of a wax museum type of thing!

 

[clemmo]

So both rides will have more of a thrill element? I personally can't tolerate some rides due to motion sickness so hopefully at least one won't be too bad.

 

[britain]

Well, thinking over it now, the only AA worth saving is the witch. Sigh...

 

[MagicHappens1971]

I think I missed something. A Mickey Mouse themed attraction is planned to be coming to DHS?

I am sure some others could better answer this but I believe its been said one of the rides will be more thrilling than the other.

Yes in GMR.

 

[MagicHappens1971]

Yes in GMR.

Thank you. I was offline for most of yesterday and woke up this morning to over 40 notifications and I thought I read most of them but I guess I missed that part. It's gonna be trackless?

Dude, just read this thread. It's only 21 pages in a day.
