I literally said you say that too much. You post it over and over again. Like you just did here ignoring my complaint of your postings' boorishness and spamminess.

They keep taking over back of house like they did for SGE and MMRR? How's the Bug's Life miniland doing?
The number of rides are comparable for all of DLR compared to all of the WDW resort. They're both adding and retheming in such a way so that they remain mostly tied with each other. Long ago, with all of its space, WDW could have pulled far ahead of DLR. But it *seems* that Disney doesn't want that to happen.
DLR's next additions will be with the Disney Forward plots. Apparently, DLR is finding it hard to do further expansion within the current boundaries. There's a limit to their spatial wizardry.
WDW's next additions will be beyond BTM, behind PotC , and in between Pandora and FotLK. That's new rides without retheming/rebuilding.
Country Bears is getting an IP overlay in the form of its new song set.
Treehouse is half and half. Part of it is still 'inspired' by the Swiss Family Robinson IP.
Identifying Dinosaur as an IP is indeed technically correct -- and being technically correct is the best kind of correct -- but its shelf life is expiring. And it was stuck with non-IP rides in its miniland.
Changing the show in the park's weenie isn't?
Or is its 'bigness' being graded on a curve colored by one's dislike for it?

I've been lurking the thread for a while now so I don't really feel the need to dignify this with a proper response.
Dinosaurs are such an easy sell too, like you'd think Disney would at the very least take advantage of "the blessing of space" WDW has and maybe add a small walking trail with animatronic dinosaurs or a new E-Ticket where Chester and Hester's currently is. I love the kitsch Dino-Rama brings to the area and I'm aware it's not for everyone, but it felt more like a temporary "band-aid" solution they just never bothered to fix/update.
I complain about the presence of IP in the parks a lot, but Ice Age would not only fit the area but enhance it and encompass a different group of prehistoric animals as well. There's at least two Ice Age attractions that currently exist in different parts around the world, but they're not nearly as polished as a WDI built attraction would be. I grew up on the Ice Age franchise and would love to see a well-thought out take on it in a theme park that's capable of building ambitious attractions.
The Ice Age franchise collapsed on itself.
While the first was loved and the second liked, after that, the reviews from critics and audience cratered for 3-5 (along with the Box Office). Disney attempted a D+ short for Ice Age, and that also was rated poorly. Disney hasn't returned to that well.
That being said, I would think an Ice Age attraction featuring the extinct mammals of the megafauna age could work. But it's competing against much more popular IP for space.
Howabout a mashup of Ice Age with Night at the Museum?

I'm sold. Though, how has the Night at the Museum franchise been doing? Besides the animated film that dropped with little to no fanfare, the last installment was released in 2015.
Film and animated series came and went with no big splash.
Maybe we can create a brand of the acquired third tier properties joining them together to create a new brand with synergy, like the Disney Princesses.
We'll use Ice Age and Night at the Museum and Robots and Percy Jackson and call it Disney Foxes(tm)!

Because you're on a train that clearly transcends the bounds of time and space it originates from. Why wouldn't you go through Dino times?
I don't really mind TBA because it's in Frontierland...my vapors come from much deeper reservoirs, such as the decision to make it a sequel, eliminate the villain, but the fact that it's in Frontierland doesn't help either. But that's a topic for another thread...or maybe not, since we're discouraged from talking about this anymore.
Fully agree on this. Born in '97, I saw and loved the first Ice Age, didn't like the second, and never saw any of the other ones. Disney would be wise to leave Ice Age in the past, so to speak.
I canNOT believe that Jurassic Park is the reason Disney is abandoning dinosaurs. It's just their darn obsession with using flavor-of-the-month (more like flavor-of-the-last-decade) IP. They had nothing good with dinosaurs, so it had to go. It's a dumb decision though, because an 8 yr old boy thinks dinosaurs are cool, and he doesn't care if they are owned by Universal or Disney. They're just cool. And now the superior dinosaur attraction is going away, and my nephews won't have gotten to experience it.

It gave us a lot of characters, but didn't flesh them all out well. Much like I felt when I saw Jumper years earlier, I left feeling like it was a good beginning. But I want more. I feel like a series could give us that.
Sadly, according to a number of people, they were so old and brittle that they just collapsed into nothing when they tried to remove them.
EDIT: Whoa! Hitting that I did want to show the recent posts did not load them all, leaving almost an entire page that I didn't know were there. C'est la vie. This was the last thing I was doing before sleep, so I'll just catch up in the morning.

I loved those figures so much, it's utterly devastating knowing they were unsalvageable.Sadly, according to a number of people, they were so old and brittle that they just collapsed into nothing when they tried to remove them.

Yeah, that's not particularly respectful. Especially because what I stated in my initial post accounted for matters of taste.
Wanna get specific? Or do you just wanna discount people baselessly?

I think it depends where you sit. Depending on how fast it pitches and rolls and where the centre of movement is, some seats will move more aggressively than others. ISTR the front-left seat is particularly jarring, it does a lot of dropping at an angle - but I can't remember now if this was Dinosaur or IJ! I think probably seats 2 and 3 in the middle row move least.

Excited to see the park at night in December…it’s been awhile for us.
Do they maintain Pandora’s glow for the few months of the year the park is open after sunset?

Yes. It is touched up quite often... an interesting place where they haven't cut back.

Well, that's certainly some kind of take, isn't it? Tell me you have no idea of who she is without telling me.

One would think they’d be able to be recreated using the Disneyland blueprints and skin molds, yes?

Where would one see dinosaurs along a train ride through the West??

I loved Fleabag. Didn’t care for her in Indy but I can’t think of a single actor whom I’ve enjoyed in every role. And, to be fair, she portrayed Helena Shaw as the character was written. Dial of Destiny had a ton of bad writing. Does that also make Harrison Ford an awful actor, now?
