If this is the case, can it please just go into DHS?
Or just die altogether

I hope to bring Burger King or Wendy's to Disney Springs!
That one's been closed. There's one in the Village now though.
For Bubba Gump they'd need to get the rights from Paramount.
Edit: CORRECTION There's a different location near Time Square open! Huh! Look at that! Also a werewolf bar. Guess where I'll be this weekend?
AC as it used to be would not work as a restaurant. But I do agree that it could be changed sufficiently to operate as a dinner show multiple times per night and then maybe a late show without a meal but two drink minimum. Sure, the surprise on unsuspecting guests wandering in would not be there but there's enough material to make a fun show out of it. And it would be unique.
It never had a long wait. Replacing it made so much sense. We've got an awesome video that WDWMagic shot before it closed, so it lives forever. Classic Disney fans liked it for nostalgic reasons, but we've got better rides (Peter Pan, Small World, Dumbo) that we can keep around for nostalgia.I agree, I never understood the nostalgia for that ride, it wasn't even in good shape, basically a bunch of cutouts and black lights. That's the exact reason I would always skip FL.
Touché.The area has been a mess since they added Westside, so it really won't be all that different.
Point to 74. Again.That sounds like typical Disney Phase II talk ... and likely means they haven't hammered out any deal with officials, so they want to start construction and show what a mess they have and hope they'll get taxpayer funds. If they want it, then they should pay for it!
Mine Train will be a nice, fun little ride with great visuals just based on the scale of the ride. Regarding Avatar as an E, it will be an E based on two words: Jim. Cameron. See also: @DisneyGuyNYC's comment after yours, answering someone else. He's got it.I expect that i'll enjoy the Mine Train when it opens. But a "major" new addition to the Magic Kingdom it definitely is not. That would be something of the caliber of Splash Mountain or Big Thunder. Splash was really the last major addition to the park. I'd also readily argue that no single attraction added to WDW as a whole since Splash has been able to top it. There have been good major additions to WDW, but Splash was the last best single ride added to WDW IMHO.

I won't prod you for more specific info on the ride. But my main wonder is whether this so called ride is an E Ticket based on the Disney company's own current standards and definition of the ticketing system, or if it's an actual true E Ticket based on what was once considered worthy of E status and what fans like you and I think is worthy of that. I'm asking because the company's idea of what constitutes a ride being E has been dumbed down immensely over the last decade or two. It's vastly different than what once constituted such a ranking (and what we still see as E Tickets). I heard both Disney employees and lifestylers have attempted to claim both Mermaid and the Dwarf Coaster E Tickets (which they definitely are not regardless of how good or bad people think they are).
It is not a Soarin' clone, and I would not expect it to be.If I had to bet, I'd say it's the Soarin' clone, which would not make me happy (Avatar in general doesn't, but that's another story.) Soarin' is an E-ticket by their standards, so I would assume this would also qualify.
And though I do love Soarin', a screen with dust and hairs on it with little else does not constitute an immerse, E-ticket environment completely taking me to another place or time.
Touché.
It is not a Soarin' clone, and I would not expect it to be.
Maybe they just want to distinguish it from Disneyland's Downtown Disney. Though we had it first...For a company who considers itself the cornerstone of creativity, it's amazing how uncreative and uninspired it is.
It's especially a shame considering how good the name Downtown Disney is.

Well that's more news than we've had recently at least. And it's different than the most recent previous news as well. As I recall, the original rumors had an E Ticket "bike" coaster or something like that with a couple of smaller scale attractions (like a Soarin clone or whatever). Then the second wave of rumors indicated severe budget cuts, apparently the E ticket was scrapped and instead there was just going to be a Soarin type ride and some kind of boat ride. And now they've gone back to an "E ticket" again.

I always pictured him more as Frank Lupidas, but that's a different userMore like Ben Linus....![]()
That's not too far off of what the wait for a table at the Boca CF was last time I was there. I didn't wait for it though -- been there too many times to wait more than 20-30 min.Lots of people like familiar food. This is also the reason WDW has TWO Rainforest Cafes.
Cheesecake Factory would be a smart match for DTD. But there would permanently be a 3-hour wait for a table.
Nah...Linus for sure.I always pictured him more as Frank Lupidas, but that's a different user
Fail.Avatar is looking more and more like simply one E-Ticket attraction and a shop with land 'available' for 'future development' ... the latest news.
Fail.
I'm surprised Jim C. is ok with that....or is he?
