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

[Thanks phoenicians]

Well...2016 is more than half over, No meaningful construction has commenced on SWL or TSL, just some preliminary demo The GMR replacement has not even been verified or announced yet, and it has previously been stated that SWL at DHS will not open untl after the Disneyland version debuts... Add to that, an overlay for an existing ride too just shy of two years, and I have no idea how they will possibly have ANY of these projects up and running by 2019...except for maybe Avatarland at DAK...

I'm just going by a timeline I saw confirmed in another thread however it does seem like they're way behind on everything especially TSL at the moment.

Techincally yes, but I was referring to things that were closed for the NFL expansion. Those closed years before then

Ariel's Grotto is a wash

Ariel's Grotto is a wash

Ya beat me to it, I was wondering if I was the only one remembering her original grotto.

Let's see....Fantasyland lost:
Skyway To Tomorrowland
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea
Snow White's Scary Adventures

With FLE we gained:
Voyage Of The Little Mermaid
7 Dwarfs Mine Coaster
An additional Dumbo
So in my eyes, we are about even... Yes there are a few more shops and a new restaurant and quick serve... but all in all, with the biggest expansion in the park's history, we are essentially at the same attraction count as we were in 1979

There is also Enchanted Tales with Belle.

There is also Enchanted Tales with Belle.

No one here really cares for that. Be honest.

EXACTLY...

EXACTLY...

And probably not for the Mermaid either. But we are talking plain attraction count (not whether it's good or interesting - separate issue).

I do....lol

 

[Bocabear]

I do....lol

oh You're the one...lol

I see no problem with including Belle in the attraction list. It's not for everyone, but there are some cool effects and the target audience loves it. As a parent, I wish more meet and greets were done well like this. There's nothing worse than waiting a half hour and then having the character, photographer, and handler rush you through. You blink and it's over sometimes.

Would've loved the Sleeping Beauty attraction. :/

 

[Daveeeeed]

Would of been nice to have 20K Leagues Under The Sea get Updated.

 

[danlb_2000]

Never, huh?

There is a rumor that Shark Reef will be closing.

 

[Daveeeeed]

Which of the dozens of recent bad decisions is this reaction to, or is it just generally to all of them?

 

[Matt_Black]

There is a rumor that Shark Reef will be closing.

Yes, rumor. It's been rumored for a while. Hasn't happened yet, so doesn't count.

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

Would of been nice to have 20K Leagues Under The Sea get Updated.

New movie coming out

 

[WDWdream97]

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.

Would this new country happen to be one that is hosting the Olympic Games?

 

[rnese]

There's enough room to build a new attraction on the land that is just The Little Mermaid Queue!
Seriously, there's never a wait and I swear the walk from the sign to actually loading into the clam is 3/4 of a mile. And I'm NOT exaggerating!
Well, maybe a little. Ok, like 5/8 of a mile!
