Complainers.. take a break.

Sychophants....take a time out.

I have to say - I think the D23 presentation really fell flat. They need some actual screenwriters to create some drama and tension. Build up to things with better pacing before big reveals. They spend 10 minutes on a random dance number and then make an off-hand announcement about something new. Like a kid shuffling their feet and staring down at their shoes. I don't get it. It almost seems like they are afraid to announce things (which is probably true).

And what is with the lack of details? We got 0 details. Even for attractions they announced. They didn't announce the ride systems or anything. I get saving something for later, but there are enough things coming that they could give us something.

because they know what they're doing (forcing so many IPs in places they don't belong/match) is incredibly tacky and transparent

Peter Quill visited EPCOT as a child? I don't know, the people working at the Imagineering Department are of in La la land.

La La Land overlay was pitched to replace GRM. Chappie thought it was "dour" and had "too much Emma Stone."

Too early to talk coaster model/type? Indoor or outdoor?

Persistent rumor had been a new coaster system entirely. A flying/seated hybrid of sorts. Big if true.

That's the only criterion? Attract crowds? Maybe change it to a professional wrestling venue.

Well, WDW has been having a really, really hard time drawing crowds. It was empty most days. They really have no choice but to bulldoze every AA attraction and add screens, or else the company will go bankrupt.

No. I've known and loved EPCOT from when it was a building site. It was perfect. The non-EPCOT lovers should've build their own imbecile superhero princess park someplace else and left our heaven alone.

At least they are attempting to tie it into Epcot better than Breakout is at CA.

I'll wait to pass judgement until the attraction is actually open. I think the Peter Quill childhood visit can be a way to tie into Epcot's golden years. We'll see.

What I do know - I'll be at WDW in 2 weeks and riding UoE was not in my plans due to complete lack of interest.

Well done... please point me to the thread where people want to talk about what is happening instead of what isn't. Thanks in advance.

Breakout is the cornerstone of a new Marvel Land at DCA, so it's not like they're just letting it sit like that forever.

Where am I going to go now for 45 minutes of AC??

Seriously, UoE was pretty much dead years ago, so I'm glad they are finally going to do something with it. I'm hoping they make Epcot fabulous and an area DH and I will enjoy just sitting and chilling in the evening.

I loved EPCOT. I would have loved an "imbecile superhero princess park" too.

I don't love shoving one into the other.

Well, you'll have plenty of time in the air-conditioned queue for the first few years after this opens.

Get over yourself. This isn't about you. Embrace change. Why don't all you complainers go start a, "we hate anything Disney does" thread so those of us that want to talk about the progress and change happening at WDW can do so without the clutter of nonsensical crap that won't change the outcome that you want. The time for speculation and personal wishes has passed. These changes ARE happening. You don't have to like them, but complaining about them does not change the reality of what IS coming. Wasn't it great when hamburgers were 10cents back in the day?

 

[SoManyWasps]

I wasn't talking about the movie.

I know. I was doing irony. My bad.

 

[HMF]

My thoughts, absolutely not ideal and another blow to Epcot but could be worse and I see they came to the same conclusion I did to re theme the area around space exploration. Now I just hope that some day the ip tie in is pulled and a true Epcot worthy attraction will be made using the same infrastructure.

Haha! That's the truth!

We might, or we'll wait until lines die down after a year or so and then ride it. Haven't been on Frozen yet- we'll check the wait time in Aug, when we go.

This is a discussion forum... Some of us can be as disappointed at the damage we feel is being done to Epcot and what made it unique as much as you're allowed to feel the opposite.

I wish the dinosaur animatronics could have been saved in some way...

I am no insider but there is a potential way to save them. A certain land about Dino's that is currently as interesting as a roadside carnival. Whether they do it or not is another question.

Discussion is one thing, but complaints from the same posters, over and over, gets a little tiresome. At some point, you'd think one would just accept that their vision of WDW isn't ever going to happen. Disney announced so much today and all some posters can do is find something to complain about. It's really really, sad.
