I live nowhere near a savanna, and we have people here who love all sorts of exotic animals. Some, like my daughter, even make art of them.The problem I have with the IP on the carousel is that some of the animals (Timon from the Lion King, Eyore from Winnie the Pooh) have nothing to do with Tropical Americas.

Uh, aren't most of the carousels tied to an IP? They're generally either themed to the host castle (Cinderella, Prince Charming) or King Arthur to tie into the Sword in the Stone, which is usually nearby. I think Shanghai's is Fantasia. Some rely less on the source IP and more on the surrounding architecture as an imagined ride that might occupy a fair in the same fantasy world, but they generally do have a touch of Disney IP so that they're more than just a carousel.As a sidebar, I do think it's pretty funny that modern Disney can't even build a carousel without cramming IP into it.
Well “we’all” have our own opinions - it’s not wishy-washy, we all have different views.Y’all need to more straight forward with your opinions on ips, because y’all can’t say well I love fantasy land ips because they are classic - but hate the new ips because I can’t relate to them like I did when I was a kid.
Well said, but you are trying to have a rationale conversation with people who have no interest in doing so.The irony of hating ip based attractions when Disney land was built in order to promote walts companies featured films.
The castles are based off ips, should we get rid of them too?

There is way too much wishy washy on this subject and it’s somewhat irritating. I don’t care if Disney shoves an ip in every attraction because:
1) it’s there company and they can do what they want. Yes they need to cater the park to their fans, but this board is a sub section of a sub section with some of the most hard core Disney fans there are on the planet.
2) ips make attractions more enjoyable. Yes, it should connect into the theming done in the right way…but if jungle cruise was themed to a lion king tie in, I can guarantee you that the que would be stretching past out adventure land.
This train guy is the worst.
Hey thereMy point is I wouldnt be surprised if this guy was a paid shill or someone with an axe to grind. Regardless he isn’t transparent and he hates everything Disney.
I’d hate to tell you what happened to the people who painted “Mister Mouse” in Harambe…If this is a land based in reality - the local wood carvers would be arrested and fined for using Disney IP without authorization.
Would be a fun backstory!![]()
Is your daughter only allowed to draw fictional animals currently owned by The Walt Disney Company?
Why of course — all the better to monetize her scribblings.Is your daughter only allowed to draw fictional animals currently owned by The Walt Disney Company?
Sword in the Stone didn’t hit theaters until 1963, well after King Arthur Carrousel opened, and doesn’t feature Lancelot (Le Carrousel du Lancelot).Uh, aren't most of the carousels tied to an IP?

Do you mean Silver Dollar City? Cause they are a great example of what a theme park can be - and you can still see portions of the Osbourne Lights there!This is the pettiness we have gotten to. If y’all want attractions that aren’t based off ips, then come to the Midwest. We have a bunch of parks with theming that consists of chain link fences and stuff glued together from Michaels and hobby and lobby with attractions with no ips because they can’t afford the licensing.

What didn’t you like about Holiday World!?!? It’s not a big budget park but goodness how could you not love it. One of the owners was personally greeting and welcoming guests when I visited!holiday world
That’s quite the non sequitur you’ve got there.This is the pettiness we have gotten to. If y’all want attractions that aren’t based off ips, then come to the Midwest.

Do you think that Disney can only do theming well when it's based on an IP, and therefore that parks that do not use IP can never have good theming?That’s actually an exception.
Talking more about six flags, ceded fair, any of the kings island/kings dominion parks, holiday world etc.
A lot of Midwest parks don’t have ips a because they just don’t have the money to afford licensing.
Also the theming, they are better of when they don’t try, because when they do it looks like a 3rd grade art project.
That’s the biggest issue I had when I returned from my trips to Disney world, it made my home theme park look like a rats nest when it came to theming. It definitely spoils you.

I am sure my view is going to be quite niche on here but when I think of which of the three rides in Tropical America's is the "most DAK" then I think it's going to be the carousel...The problem I have with the IP on the carousel is that some of the animals (Timon from the Lion King, Eyore from Winnie the Pooh) have nothing to do with Tropical Americas.
