I know this idea has repeated here over and over again ever since the first film released, but it really does feel like an incredible missed opportunity to not just put an Inside Out show in the Cranium Command theatre. Much of the infrastructure to support it was already there. I feel like the only reason it didn't happen was because there would have had to be more work done to make the dome presentable first.
I think if it’s an animated movie with heart and good enough promotion, it will be a hit.
Uh, There is basically a mandate from on high that says that EVERYTHING has to be tied to a movie or they won't greenlight it.
Um, They will be singing IP-branded songs.
@HMF beat me to it, but the only saving grace for the Country Bears was the literal infusion of IP based songs. If the show didn't have the ability to pivot like this it would probably be on the chopping block. IMO the only attractions that are "safe" are those that are truly "iconic" or an IP in their own right, Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Pirates & Space Mountain. I would include ToT but that IP doesn't belong to Disney since it's branded as Twilight Zone, but Disney could pivot and keep the attraction very similar with a slight refresh based on the ScarJo ToT film. And the majority of DAK, but we could be at a turning point for that, although the decision to bring Rhode back tells otherwise.
I think Figment has become an IP in its own right, which explains why it hasn’t been rethemed to something else, like most other IP-less rides that aren’t super popular.
Plus Figment moves a ton of merch. It’s viewed as an IP internally, and if Indy can get a ride even with a bomb, I see no reason why Figment couldn’t as well.
The HTH has been started to be used on its own without the connections, so I can see that staying, but with the Twilight Zone elements removed(which to be fair only are really present in the preshow), no matter how it does.
This statement has been applicable since 2002.
Just slapping dreamfinder onto the current ride would be extremely cheap. The pavilion needs more than a simple rebrand. At least reinstall the missing 40% of the track.
Seemed like a tangent, though probably the most realistic scenario as it would cost the least amount of money, just shoot some footage of dreamfinder and reanimate figment and call it a day.
Totally agree
