But you brought up Universal. Everyone knows F&F is a terrible attraction without having to go to a Universal focused site to figure that out.
His opinion, your opinion, anyones opinion is what they post and people read. Its broken down to that individual post even. You can't say 'oh, go check him out on the tweets, he says other stuff there'. You can't expect people to do 'research' into other people just because they have an opinion.

Was the issue not that he apparently rags on Disney and praises Universal too much? I was providing an example of him praising Disney and ragging on Universal; nobody’s asking anyone to do research.

No, thats not what @Kman101 said. He said that @Disneyhead'71 acts as if he (disneyhead) is being attacked if someone (another poster) doesn't praise Uni. Nothing about disneyhead praising/bashing Uni himself.

I'd say the outrage over the direction change for Epcot has been far more vocal in these boards then for NFL. It seems the imagineers controlling this Epcot Redo have their Bluetooth headsets in their ears with Bob Iger talking about financial results playing and on the loudest setting . I would even bet that the Disney firewalls block all Parks and Resorts related fan sites like this one. Lastly, I bet there is a padlock on all archives related to the original designs, scripts and themes for Epcot Center 1982. (Yep, my Epcot Center fanboy anger just came out there a bit)

Not being around these boards at the time, what was the outrage and what was the change in Disney's course that it resulted in?

And the new Woody ride in Shanghai and Big Hero 6 ride coming to TDL!
On these forums it was mostly people calling a spade a spade, which was that FLE took 5 years to build a kiddie coaster, M&G and a restaurant and lacked substance. Of course, there were some who heralded it as the most immerisve, innovative and family friendly thing Disney ever created.

And neither view is being entirely realistic.

The originally announced plans had a Cinderella and Aurora meet and greet complex on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train site. They were clearly operation nightmares in the making and were already being reconsidered when announced, but people like to credit themselves and Staggs.

could have had a rollercoaster twice as grand with more show scenes.... theres drawings from Lee somewhere. I think it turned out nice but didn't add much capacity and cosT WAY MORE than it should have. most modern magic kingdom issues IMHO opinion have to do with addressing crowds and capacity or lack there of.

pretty sure pixie hollow was in original plans and seven dwarfs was put in for the boy crowd?

Pixie Hollow was in the Storybook Circus area and less discussed. Tom Staggs did push the boy angle and influence of his sons on the changes.

I was referring to the change from Aurora and Snow White houses (and possibly Pixie Hollow) to Mine Train. If Disney was already considering that change then I don't know why they would have announced something different. IMO they were clearly gauging the guest reaction and had a backup plan ready to go. Of course Mine Train could have been even better reportedly, but I'll still take it over the glorified meet and greets that would have taken up the same space. Belle is well done and connects nicely with BoG and the village, but we certainly didn't need two more similar experiences.
I certainly don't think it's the norm for Disney to react to fan feedback. If they did that, they would never get anything off the ground. GotG in Epcot is a perfect example of this. Personally I saw RnRC as the perfect place for GotG with it likely needing a retheme anyway (if Guardians HAD to go somewhere). But I've given in at this point (what choice do we really have) and I'm hoping they surprise us with this one.

Disney announces early. It’s just what they do. It’s not about testing the waters. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was ultimately co-financed between Magic Kingdom and Shanghai Disneyland. So while the coaster was on-and-off for Magic Kingdom it remained on for Shanghai Disneyland.
It was marketed like and expected to be the second coming. Expectations were too high and satisfaction wasn’t as high as was hoped. Management got burnt.

Thank you. Not attacking him, I just think he's better than turning it into a you-know-what-contest a lot of the times. He just acts personally attacked and I think he's better than that.

Fantasyland was also the unfortunate Disney follow-up to Hogsmeade, and Mine Train’s last minute addition pushed the land into phased openings.
When Mine Train finally opened, it really drove home that Disney wasn’t interested in rivaling Forbidden Journey or Gringotts (and with no major announcements until 2015, it didn’t look like they ever would be).
