Oh I know. It was just a joke. But you have tò be careful of what you say if yòur in the public.

Is a comedian supposed to work just empty rooms now?

That's what it's coming too..........sadly

It's expendable. It's a way to have Dumbo there.

And let's not forget it was a cheap quick fix to plug the Pixie Hollow gap.

Expendable as in DinoRama which could come down quickly, or as in Pooh's Playful Spot which was put up in the knowledge that it was not long for this world?

You're nuts if u think that's a racist tweet...

 

[Cesar R M]

that turned out well enough.

huuuu..what?

 

[Cesar R M]

What, being a commercial for foreign tourism?

Which country again? cant wait to book for arandelle... oh wait you cant!

A person can disagree about whatever they want.

World showcase attractions can definitely be about a country's culture. El Rio de Tiempo had representation of fantastic ancient cultural figures. If it was the other way around and a movie was created which was based on El Rio, would that attraction suddenly not fit!?

Absurd. The only 2 problems with Frozen are 1) It's a Hans Christian Andersen tale and so should be in Denmark, not Norway. 2) It would be a BETTER fit in MK (and possibly a bigger attraction). That doesn't mean it doesn't fit EPCOT.

I still wonder why the hell they didn't just rename the area to "Scandinavian" and add more countries from the area. Adding Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland to Norway etc..

 

[Cesar R M]

They can and will. Its a sign of ubber loyalty.

inb4 someone uses this excuse again...

 

[Cesar R M]

I can't nail it yet. One version I'd say yes it did. Even had a secondary theatre attraction. The one I believe is leading removed the theatre for an extended Transformers-esq queue.

great.. so its another copy and knee jerk reaction to Universal Studios(aka, the rumors say its going to be transformers meets The Mummy?) type ride?

Avatar
Star Wars
Toys Story land
Frozen
Now Guardians..
all seem to be some sort knee jerk urgent reactions towards something and not very good planned attractions.

let me guess, the "call out" and "check your privilege" brigade is at it again?

@BrerJon already answered and I agree. If you are talking now - definitely Tokyo. 2017/2018 Paris will have finished its refurbs and will be celebrating the 25th, so might be worth delaying Tokyo for the 2020 Fantasyland revamp to come online at that point in time.

Again, all depends on if you are talking about planning a trip for two years in the future and a few years after that, or feasibly are hoping to do both within the next few years.

Of course, if the scenario was only doing one - Tokyo, a million times over. Well before Shanghai, Hong Kong or Paris.

I am planning my next three years of vacations. Hubby andI HAVE PASSPORTS AND WILL TRAVEL. I have indulged him in his love of National parks for two years and put 11,000 miles on my car as a result but now we put those passports to work. We take two vacations per year and both are two weeks so I am excited he has no destination in mind.

@marni1971 Someone over at OU mentioned that they've heard of the Coaster, but not the GotG IP being attached to it. Is that something that you've heard at all or does it seem pretty set?

Sorry in advance for another cranky post from me, I feel like I'm struggling wadding through these threads.

This meme is becoming more tired than the argument (Google says the tenth time you've posted it this year).

I think it needs to be let out to pasture...

 

[marni1971]

The dinosaur vignettes featured in Primeval World/UOE are strikingly similar to the dinosaur segment of Fantasia..

I know. Similar.

It's something I've thought about from what I know (I may have even started the rumour) but have no official word of.

By logical extension that would imply the sycophants excuse should meet a similar fate.

Have I created a monster?

I have mixed feelings about GOTG at Epcot (I'd prefer DHS) but I've always thought the planet of Xandar in the movie would look really cool for Epcot's Future World

good luck getting that built =)

 

[matt9112]

I do wonder tho about the Mission: Space Refurb if it could go ala Star Tours with different Missions rather than just Mars..

really would be such a good change....its biggest weakness IMO is the re-ridability or lack there of. granted a general modernization of que would be welcome too its showing its age.

I agree. In part, this generational oversensitivity stems from people mistaking their internet profiles for a broadcast venue....some things, like dirty jokes, are better said in the intimacy of like-minded friends. I love the cycle of people whispering a dirty joke to the world, sensitive people becoming sensitive, and then the comedian throws his hands in the air exclaiming "it's a joke people!"......I mean, what did you really expect?

The problem is that reaction has become automatic, so there is practically nothing you can say in public now without stirring some sort of outrage. At the same time, that outrage is still only a vocal minority. There is nothing remotely "dirty" about Ellen's inoffensive joke (am I allowed to take offense at how dumb it is?), and a handful of idiots on Twitter does not a controversy make. Headlines report "she's coming under fire"....meanwhile who's actually upset, like twelve people? The media should embrace sanity by not reporting on this trash to begin with. It's the desperation to create "news" that I find most disgraceful. That's the "conversation"....pathological navel-gazing over inanity.

 

[matt9112]

No, this forum only supports negativity.

i think its more of a recent track record of literately everything built at WDW gets the budget axe....you see the new rides...i see the new rides as @Lee showed us they could have been. There is no excuse for such a large powerful company to routinely cut down projects. it also proves that they are okay with lowering the standards that they themselves created in the first place. in my line of work i dont change the quality of work i provide based on what my customer may want or be a better deal i do the right thing at the X level of service every time.

edit: couple that with the fact that many of those project scale downs are direct results of mismanagement elsewhere.
