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

[ToTBellHop]

I know @marni1971 mentioned some discussions are on-going as to a better fit, but I am still hearing GOTG is gong to EPCOT and Mickey to GMR or GMR area. . . That being said, I also just heard a new country for EPCOT may be getting closer to reality but that is not the first time I was told that piece of news. Maybe Russia will sign on if Trump moves into 1600 Pennsylvania?

Could Snowden work at the Journey into Crimea River Adventure Starring Vlad and Friends?

Let's face it, our irascible friend Donald Duck is the real center of the Disney universe. If anyone should get a ride at the new DHS, it should be Donald!

 

[Matt_Black]

In my heart, I agree with you, but Donald is well represented already, with starring roles in Philharmagic and the Three Caballeros boat ride.

Echo Lake would be perfect for a little superhero area with GotG, BH6, and the Incredibles. How big is the ranch expansion plot?
.

Echo Lake is fine as it is. Just needs some theatre attractions to make use of the theatre.

There may be plans for BH6 elsewhere. Even if they have missed the boat.

How have they missed the boat? An animated series is coming in 2017-2018.

I'm thinking Innoventions could see BH6, it would make sense in a showcasing technology aspect.

But there's lots of potential for a superhero area in DHS, even without the top tier Marvel stuff. Hopefully we see something like that with a new GotG ride

Heck, you could grab several superheroes that have fallen into the Public Domain and do that, if you really wanted to.

how about this one?

360 degree environment that reacts to you.

That type of technology would had been perfect for a future Journey Into Imagination section for Image Works 2.0 upstairs if possible. At least the water and interactive floor elements.

 

[marni1971]

Couldn't they build a ride (new Mickey Mouse ride) where the SW Launch Bay is located?

No reason why not. The whole Animation complex will go sooner or later.

 

[marni1971]

It really sounds like they are a bit conflicted and perplexed on exactly which plan/route/choices to take with all of this?

There seems to be conflict, yes. Though I'd possibly bet things happen as I've already said.

 

[marni1971]

Is there a chance that this happens?.

I'd say a very slim one.

 

[marni1971]

@marni1971 is there any chance that after all of this mess clears up we could keep the GMR and expand elsewhere, or has that logic ship sailed?

I'd be surprised. Sadly.

 

[DinoInstitute]

I'd say a very slim one.

Is there any chance about a non-overlay GotG ride?

 

[marni1971]

That being said, I also just heard a new country for EPCOT may be getting closer to reality but that is not the first time I was told that piece of news.

That is a possibility too.

As for the rest, there is discussion but I'd say GMR and Energy will still take the knife. Sadly.

 

[marni1971]

Is there any chance about a non-overlay GotG ride?

I don't think so at the moment. Sadly.

I heard that too...

As it stands there is a thought that Guardians would be more suited here than at Epcot. Which may be true for the park, but not the location.

Yes it's a movie attraction. Yes it's futuristic. But DHS needs all the help it can get, and GMR should be the all encompassing marquee attraction for the park. Which is why it needs to stay as an updated and refreshed GMR. Mickey is a perfect fit for the Art Deco of Sunset, on the Ranch expansion plot. GMR again needs to be the parks anchor. And Guardians could easily fit into a phase 3 elsewhere in DHS in a purpose built building to fit it's environment. It's not an Epcot IP.

But that's the most expensive option. Even if it might be the best.

Man, you're making too much sense.....

Imagine what Disney would have been if Walt had that approach. Even the more practical and cautious Roy knew there were times when the creative and risking taking brother needed to win...and his job was to help him.

A ride or more of a theater show? I understand you probably can't say

Just curious but could you name the superheroes?
