A stand selling all you can drink Blue Glengoolie?

We will be selling a a Pins Cup in a Pimp Cup, yes. There will be a bar. And even our bar will have a bar.

I suggested to them we could reuse the body wars simulators for an instructional film on how to avoid catching VD from all the ladies on the job.

We've also pitched Tunt Tragedy: The Dangers of Sniffing Glue as Lana Kane's Spray and Pray shooting gallery. (Like buzz light year with hands). Pam will be taking over test track as her Yakuza driving school and Barry will be over at a rethemed Mission:Space about what it's like when you're trapped on a space station.

Here's the thing. I would love if the Universe of Energy was remodeled and updated, with either Bill Nye/Ellen or Neil deGrasse Tyson talking about the universe. I would also love it if Wonders of Life stopped being an empty shell for the Food and Wine Festival and had all-updated rides.

But that's wishful thinking. Compromise is when everyone is equally unhappy, right?

I think everyone here knows that Universe of Energy has been on death row for years, and the Wonders of Life is (ironically) a rotting corpse in Future World. A themed Mission: SPACE would be the best place for GotG. like Hyperspace Mountain. I don't really see the Wonders of Life or Universe of Energy buildings being re-used in whatever incarnation of those rides comes next.

No one else does. ;)

(J/k. I have a soft spot for this attraction, so that makes two fans annually.)

Third fan here... even if we just ride it every other trip..so like once a decade..Love the music, love the exterior of the pavillion, love the AC

I wonder if Disney intentionally lets the parks get really bad, so people will be thrilled by whatever they decide to throw into them.

Eisner and others recognized it would only become more and more impossible to stay ahead of the future. I thought it could be done but then Elon Musk, self driving cars (and farm machinery) smart phones and fracking happened.

Disney was way ahead of us all in seeing the trends.

Now THIS is Iger's WDC in a nutshell.
It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn eventually that this was all Iger's idea...gotta leverage those IPs, gotta leave HIS legacy (if comments he's made about Shanghai Disneyland are any indication)...he'll be gone before it opens anyway. Hopefully, his successor will have more regard for the parks and TWDC original legacy (in general), instead of continuing the trend.

Edit: I now see from the other Epcot thread that this is coming from Chapek (allegedly, I'd have know way of knowing if true one way or the other). It would make sense given that WDW1974 said that Chapek was none too pleased w/ the ToT leak.

Minimal effort, maximum profit.
Sounds like we need another Marvel IP to join in here.

Your posting history says otherwise.

No, I compared Uni keeping Marvel to Coke selling Pepsi products from Coke vending machines. Never thought Uni would do that. Yet here we are. Whatever makes them happy. And as long as those checks to Mickey don't bounce.

I want to see Terms of Enrampagement: 3D

Problem is the plans will already be in full swing construction, so Bob's successor, no matter how good or bad he is, will have no choice but to continue it and make the best of a bad scenario. A shame, really.
