Guardians Tower announcement Saturday in SD ...

If you manage to make a boat ride with waterfalls and three-headed trolls and vikings suck (quite the feat!), while the anonymous earlobe-intacts make your work rock with a simple princess overlay, then maybe others should be in charge of revisiting your work rather than the other way round.

While I agree that Maelstrom sucked and that FEA (in a vacuum) looks stellar, I wouldn't snuff off DAK entirely.

Funny. I don't hear any boos. The response from the audience sounded so fake that it sounded like Disney planted cheering people to drown out any objectors. Maybe. I don't know.

That might had been from Marvel fans who aren't that familiar or that attached with the Disney Parks. I think the booing might have started after this video was recorded.

Yeah. Maybe you're right. What Marvel Comic Con visitor visits the Disneyland Resort?

No.... I very much meant MARVELous.

I liked this for the good effort with photoshop not for the content of the picture. Yikes. It looks even worse than I imagined it would in that setting. I'll say again, thank God this isn't happening in FL. I'll take an invasion of the energy pavilion any day over this.

 

[GoofGoof]

Why not ? You think you wont see any of the Star wars stuff from the old school Hollywood section ?

Mountains are one thing. That just doesn't fit in at all.

Well said.

OMG

I saw your post before you deleted it.

With the 43 new Star Wars movies, the 23 Star Wars spin offs, the 12 stand alones, and the 9 TV series coming.

And a partridge in a pear treeeeee!

I might be way off base here, but would Disney bother designing something completely new to fit into Energy Adventure, when they've already been through the hassle of the retheme of the DCA ToT? It's already done. It would be counter productive to design something completely new for a different space, when they have the exact same ToT in DHS.

I hope they do design something new. I'd rather loose Energy Adventure than ToT.

Construction timing. They can't close ToT in DHS until at the earliest 2019 or 2020 when SW Land opens. If they want to they can break ground by next year at Energy in EPCOT and have the ride open by 2020 or even sooner. They get GoTG at WDW faster adding it to EPCOT and they save the money it would cost to refurb Energy.

Is WDW's version still being upgrade with the bar/lounge? The more enhancements that gets the safer I feel it will remain unchanged. Well, unchanged as far as the subject matter is concerned.

Nope no bar anymore

The four year old trolleys are safe, they aren't going away. Their pass by the Tower is less than 10% of their route. They already pass by a half dozen other lands and structures that have nothing to do with 1930's Hollywood.

My point was that Tower of Terror at DCA can't really be seen and does little to intrude on most themed areas of DCA, it was just that short street build-up visual where it worked nicely with the trolleys. Now that short stretch of streetscape will look more funky Steampunk with the trolleys than 1939 Vintage. It'll be weird but work in DCA, but would be horrible in DHS where Tower visually anchors a much bigger park area.

And the Horse Drawn Streetcars of Walt's Main Street USA don't just pass by a medieval castle, they also pass within yards of an all-plastic house commercial for Monsanto, a towering and fake looking Swiss mountain, an Oregon Trail log fort with Indian teepees out front, and a Polynesian-African Cultural Appropriation Mish-Mash Marquee with elephant tusks and flaming torches and an animatronic barker bird in a straw hat trying to convince you to buy an extra cost ticket to see a show, Presented By United Airlines DC-8 Jet Mainliners.

The horse drawn streetcars traveling around Walt Disney's Central Plaza of 1955-1966 had nothing on 30 yards of Red Car Trolley track passing in front of Mission: BREAKOUT in 2017.

I love your pics. I do want you to win this arguement. Badly. I love the street cars of DCA. I will keep my fingers crossed that you are correct.
