Disney Says Two New Experiences are under development;

[bdearl41]

I dont really think it would be a parade. FL is too congested for the parade to go through it. I believe the parade keeps the same route through frontierland and main street. My best guess would be a show, possibly around the castle walls. I really hope they do more interactive stuff like the Sword and the Stone show.

I'm sure some new meet and greet with a new characters... damn meet and greets!

 

[ddbowdoin]

Incredibles: 600 million $ WW box-office.
Avengers: 1.5 billion $ WW box-office (without counting the individual franchises, worth more billions).

Lion King: 700 million $ WW box-office.
Avatar: 2.5 billion $ box-office (and sequels are coming).

Bob Iger is a businessman. Based on the numbers, he makes the right choices. It's as if Universal fans were angry that the Orlando Resort didn't build new rides on Universal or original movies, but had to buy the rights for a WB franchise. Look, no offense here, I would also dream of new "Disney" attractions, however, I already think there are too many, all new projects are based on Disney/Pixar... I'm much more excited by original storylines, such as BTM, Soarin, Everest, Spaceship Earth etc.

numbers don't lie... agreed, but that doesn't reflect the actual quality of the product in question.

The Avengers, which I saw, sucked...

Well you are always able to give your own opinion. That is the first time I have heard a negative comment about the Avengers though. IMO it was a great movie. Cant wait for the sequel

Avengers was amazing.

Unless they are referring to Scuttle's Scavenger Hunt and Storytime with Belle (in which case they are making it sound like there's something more than has already been disclosed when there really isn't), I think these "experiences" may turn out to be just what we generally like about Disney as compared to other theme parks -- details.

Perhaps we are talking about a new kind of character experience -- a Villains unhappy hour, or a "parade" of Disney characters in which kids can join in (ever see the "Pooh Parade" at Crystal Palace?), or maybe something involving the meet and greet characters doing a little skit/play. Or perhaps a "Be Our Guest" song and dance routine outside the restaurant or a little show in the Tavern where they sing Gaston's song or even a rendition of Belle that takes place all around the new BatB area.

In any event, I won't try to guess, and I certainly can't imagine that these experiences will be anything major -- probably things that only a small percentage of guests know to look for. But that's what we (or at least I) like about Disney -- that there are often such little things to look for.

Wait....what?!?!

 

[Vader2112]

Seriously. Take a minute and think about that ... and then go book your next three stays on-site because Lou Mongello told you there are no hotels off of Disney property, just a post-apocolyptic wasteland.

Have you visited a great deal of the Orlando area? I wish it was as nice or safe as a post apocolyptic wasteland.

Wait....what?!?!

Poor, poor writing... the mark of a bad script is when a writer/director just write their way out of an illogical situation/conundrum.

Example - in one scene the Hulk is wild, unable to speak, unable to control himself... then 10 minutes later, he's able to turn on command, speak, control his power, and assist the other avengers. That is poor writing at it's best, lets completely change a characters traits to conveniently fit our script.

At the end of the day it's a super hero movie, but when movies start shattering box office figures and surpassing real films it really bothers me, hence when I think a particular style of film deserves true criticism despite it's low brow nature.

Whoa whoa whoa.... What?!?!?

NOW, this was a super hero movie... exponentially better than the Avengers

 

[SirLink]

Wait....what?!?!

@Lee he is talking about this film:

As a long time original fan, the reboot with Ralph Fiennes wasn't good.

Can I assume you hated all the Transformers movies and Avatar as well? (BECAUSE: Those were way worse)

To your point, yes box office is an inconsistent if not poor indicator of quality.

oh yes, double check BOTH of those... a little less on the Avatar. Still a poor movie but better than TRANS.

 

[TalkingHead]

The Avengers, which I saw, sucked...

That's overstating it.

It was a 3-star movie for me.

I thought it was too long, for one thing.

And the final showdown...so by-the-numbers. Yawn.

Sir! We do not speak ill of Whedon!
(The color of my coat is showing...)

Wow. You think so? I found the DKR script to he much more problematic than Avengers. Nolan slipped badly.

 

[tomman710]

GOOD ... I liked The Avengers, actually thought the writing was not the worst problem ... but I can not argue your issues with plot holes. But wanted to check consistency of your statements (i.e. Avengers sucked but Transformers was awesome!)

BACK TO TOPIC: I know this is wildly improbable because there isn't a venue for it but I think the new Fantasyland could use a really cool stage show, something akin to Beauty and the Beast at DHS ... in fact a Sleeping Beauty show would be cool, with neat effects and good music.

I guess that could be considered poor writing, but there is a backstory. Hulk figured out how to control his ability to turn into the green guy between the events of The Incredible Hulk and The Avengers. But when they were on the Helicarrier, he fell 20-30 feet onto a metal grate, which caused him to uncontrollably change into the monster. Later when they were in NYC, he could controllably change.

So there's that story, in case you didn't know. It would've helped if it was explained more in the movie though.

yes, the way in which it is presented is incredibly convenient.. and lacks any form of explanation, whereas they went overkill on some of the other characters
