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

[DocMcHulk]

@marni1971 is this real life???

Or, Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide

No escape from reality

Well played, all of you!

WDW1974 has mentioned that there are still active plans to bring Marvel stuff (whatever they are allowed in Florida) to DHS at some point. Don't know if that is on the table or any timeframe, perhaps other insiders might confirm.

I'd imagine that it's only a matter of time until ToT gets the same Guardians treatment as California.

 

[marni1971]

That is why they should fast track the rumored rat and coco. At least they will be in proximity from the rumored gondola.

I said Rat is being fasttracked weeks ago.

I'd imagine they would try to make a unique Guardians rather than a retheme of an existing attraction because it's the only popular Marvel IP they can use.

If they must put it anywhere put it where Stitches' Great Escape is, Spare Energy and Tower.

Disney loves to clone rides to save money.

I actually agree, along with the UK ride and anything else that can absorb people, but that's in Epcot. DHS will need more. The fact is, people are going to be there for Star Wars. They need more rides to absorb those people.

I agree I get how Rat will take to 2020 since construction hasn't started, but for the UK if it really is a smaller project there's no reason that shouldn't be open by 2019 or 2020.

I thought Rat was 2018-19 and Mickey was 2020? Do I have that wrong?

 

[marni1971]

Right now Mickey is second half of 2019, Rat first half of 2020.

U.K. Is still fluid but is currently looking more like something that would take until 2021 before opening.

Many insiders say this will not be happening. To which innumerable people say, "Whew!!!". After seeing the abomination in CA, ruining Florida's ToT would likely push many, many guests to simply stop visiting. Seriously.

I would wait to see how it does in California before I totally conclude it's safe.

To me fasttracked means opening sooner than three years from now but I guess that is their version of "fasttracked" LOL. Wonder when it would have opened had it not been "fasttracked"

Not many enough for WDW to notice, just like not many enough at Anaheim to notice.

"Fast-tracked" means opening faster than Pandora.

Yes that's perfect! I actually enjoy Energy and Tower, unlike the other ride...

This is true. However, they wouldn't be making enough extra money or publicity to justify retheming tower. It would be like retheming Splash.

I guess I should have said super-fasttracked. They might need that capacity sometime in 2019.

Is Robin Hood an option for U.K.?
