"Hey kid, be careful.... broken glassssss."Kids love digging for broken light bulbs.
They probably could, will they? Most likely not.
Most of these decisions are made by the WDW president.It makes me wonder how much of these decisions is decided on the "local" level. TDA vs TDO, or they may just be powerless and it's all just what Josh & Bobby what.
Yes I can confirm as well. Joe is backAlso see from the thread "Bruce Vaughn Returns to Disney as Co-Lead of Walt Disney Imagineering", which was prompted by @JustInTime and confirmed by @yensidtlaw1969
That’s my fear. They are going to basically end up with the same number of “attractions” as they did once before. They don’t seem to get we need to ADD more people eater things as well
Imo it would be easier for them to redo the dinosaur ride and make it a little more family friendly and without needing a chiropractor when it’s over. The loud dark rough scare factor is what hurts its appeal to some (I like it but I get why some don’t). A dinosaur section of the park belongs at AK way more than Indy and EncantoSomething to be said about quality though.
Encanto, whatever it is, would have to be a pretty big whiff to not be better than what it replaces.
Despite claims to the contrary, Dinosaur is not drawing the acclaim or GSATs or G+ bucks that Indy does in Anaheim or Tokyo. I’m not really a fan of Dinosaur, it just feels like such wasted potential. I doubt very many consider it in their top ten list of the resort. Its mistake is trying to out Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park. Likely an Eisner-ism. We didn’t need another dinosaurs are scary take. It’s not like the safari is pedaling a chase with murderous hippos, dinosaurs can have different appeals. Beyond that it’s dark, disorientating and lacks a musical score. It completely turns off a very core dinosaur demographic (little kids).

true... but Energy Adventure was a very long show/ride... most kids can't sit still that longThe sad thig is Energy Adventure was a good way for kids to see Dinos on a ride in an immersive environment with no height requirement. Anyone under 40 inches or someone not wanting mild thrills is seeing no Dinosaurs at WDW unless they pop in or have dining at T-rex Cafe.
I'm counting attractions as Disney themselves counts them as things to do on their own website. Last I checked, judging by what they consider an attraction (show, ride, walk-through, etc.), DL had them beat... Even if the Moana walk-through has tipped the scales since I last went through and counted it all up, I not sure how you get Orlando having a heck of a lot more, again, based on how Disney themselves counts them.Are you talking *attractions* or its subset: *rides*?
When it comes to rides, they're equal (give or take temporary closures or rethemes).
When it comes to attractions, WDW has a heck of a lot more.
But some people don't count shows, or zoos, or national pavilions, or films; they only care if the attraction moves them somehow.
At one point (not sure if they still are), DAK was counting the signs on the walkway as you approached Rafiki's Planet Watch as an "attraction."I'm counting attractions as Disney themselves counts them as things to do on their own website... and I'm not sure how you get Orlando having a heck of a lot more, again, based on how Disney themselves counts them.
Remember, Disneyland still has things like their band and their Golden Horseshoe review and streetmosphere (including in places like Frontierland) and other things of that nature that WDW long ago cut their own equivalents of, too.
I could see an omnimover being the preferred option for an Encanto ride even though it offers less flexibility. Something with high capacity, reliable and family friendly would be a welcome addition.There’s loads of problems with trackless:
- Warehouse like design with less intimate sets
- No elevation changes unless elevators are introduced (which cause several breakdowns)
- Issues with the LPS that cause a ton of downtime
Rise of the Resistance is proof that if you do anything slightly complex (or “Disney level norm”, if you will) you run into a ton of issues. It deterred Universal from using the system for the Potter MoM ride.
If Rohde is involved, you wouldn't have confidence that the IP integration would be treated better? Remember how cynical we all were about the Pandora addition?So he can oversee the wonderful park he created be turned into yet another movie IP playground under Iger?

I think we have a lot of people here who like to confuse their personal opinions and preferences with things like reality and the opinions of the masses.Dinosaur is definitely not what I would consider "unpopular". It is typically not a rope dropped attraction and often has a short wait for a couple hours in the morning. But midday it is often at 30-45+ minutes and longer during peak times. It's not like it does not attract any guests, by far.
Ultimately they will hit diminishing returns on capacity. The problem is in a park like DHS where it might take 6 rides to reach that level. DAK could get there with three rides.To me, this is where things get tricky. Adding more rides increases operating costs and it if doesn't drive more spending to offset that what is the point of doing it from business perspective? If the new rides do drive more attendance it won't solve the capacity problem. Almost a catch 22.
I'd have faith that we'd get the best version we could hope for but fitting a square peg into a round hole is still going to require either some serious shaving of the peg or cutting of the hole.I would have full faith in the project if he were brought in.
