To be honest it is kind of fun when people have differing opinions and try to argue for their stances, that is as long as no one is insulting.Oh, simmer down. It's all in good fun.

Pretty much if you start it in the right place and the ride doesn't stop.I've heard of people listening to the old narration on their phones. Will most of it still line up with the attraction as it is now?
Multiple different coasters were proposed for WS in the 80's though. Mt. Fuji and a Matterhorn clone. Then there was that stupid Timeracers idea, too.Epcot didn't need one. That's what made Epcot, well EPCOT Center anyway. It was unique. It was its own park.
That's why they had the MK.
One coaster at Epcot is unlikely to attract the demographic who go to Uni, Busch or Seaworld for their coasters.
Good call.Multiple different coasters were proposed for WS in the 80's though. Mt. Fuji and a Matterhorn clone. Then there was that stupid Timeracers idea, too.
Coasters in Epcot isn't a foreign idea. It's just that it's been almost 35 years without one, so it's not something we expect from the park. However, had Mt. Fuji or Matterhorn happened in the 80's, would we be having this conversation about how coasters "don't belong" in Epcot?
No, but the sad thing for me is that with this, they will have converted each of the three original Future World East pavilions into thrill rides. We had three long rides which managed to teach everyone in an entertaining way and they will have been replaced by three thrill rides that largely have no educational value. At least the first Test Track was ostensibly an auto-testing facility that tried to teach us something. The current one has fun visuals at points but I can't make sense out of what is actually supposed to be happening.Multiple different coasters were proposed for WS in the 80's though. Mt.

If WDW got a BH6 ride we would finally be able to say we got a clone from Tokyo...Agreed.
I would love for something great and edutaintment-al to be done at WOL. Even if they used an IP - say BH6 - They could easily use that to tie back into the original WOL theme. I guarantee they wouldn't though if something BH6 actually did happen. Would probably just be one ride with no real educational value.
I don't know what that is, but it looks like something I don't want. Replace the Baymax M&G with that or something lolIf WDW got a BH6 ride we would finally be able to say we got a clone from Tokyo...
It's the same ride as Mater's and Buzz, which is why that's what we would get.I don't know what that is, but it looks like something I don't want. Replace the Baymax M&G with that or something lol
Huh, interesting.It's the same ride as Mater's and Buzz, which is why that's what we would get.
Nice and cheap.
N.E.R.D. 'Not Even Remotely Dorky'
The condition is unacceptable 100% agree, but that's where this conversation even started. Most people (as in the general public not on these boards) that have been on it, most consider it to be a meh ride. It doesn't suck, it's a decent ride including the dinosaur part, but it just doesn't have that feeling of greatness, and the only reason I will ever re ride it is for the dinosaur part. It is its saving grace. Any future version will suffer the same issue. Most people don't want to watch a 30 minute show over and over and over no matter how good it is, and the only reason it even has people going on it is because Epcot has so little to do ride wise. I can spend all day in world showcase, but if want to ride a great ride I have three options.
Looks like a neat ride, but I have to ask: when did Baymax clone himself?If WDW got a BH6 ride we would finally be able to say we got a clone from Tokyo...
it looks incredibly lame and cheap...and really does that even make sense? Baymax carting you around on a whip style ride? Tow-mater is cute and makes some sense but this would be just stupid...there are so many better things they could do with this ip... Please NO to this attraction...Looks like a neat ride, but I have to ask: when did Baymax clone himself?

In Tokyo it's also just a minuscule part of a larger expansion plan compared to, say, the 11 acre TSL.Big Hero 6/Baymax has so much more potential for a theme park ride as well. It would actually be a great option for a concept for Epcot if an IP must be used -- if it were executed properly. There's clearly potential there for an immersive ride but also opportunities to be educational and inspiring about robotics and future medical innovations.
Regardless, the Baymax whip ride is going into Tokyo and there is no evidence it is coming to WDW.
Oil Shale... the rock that burns. How else are kids today going to learn about that!?
In school? That's what schools are for.
Bah schools... my point was that I never learned stuff like that when I was in elementary school.
