Guardians Tower announcement Saturday in SD ...

[Matt_Black]

When there is land, there is no need. There aren't many above one story around me either, but we're not talking about some big Walmart distribution center here either.

There are multi story museums, warehouses, in big cities. Huge places. Don't get too caught in the word 'warehouse'

But if we don't get latch onto semantics, how can we possibly justify our indignant, self-righteous outrage over a theme park ride?!?

Like SWE, it's much cheaper than actually taking the long term initiative to give these properties a real home in a third gate.

I know, but the comment I was replying to talked about just fixing up the ToT and how that was seemingly the more expensive option. There is obviously way more coming to DCA.

Unlike most here... I am not championing a third gate... yet. There is too much they need to address between Disneyland and especially DCA before spending all their time and energy on a third park. That's WDW's problem. Too many half-baked parks.

Looks cool to me, it's a warehouse in space, don't think that it matters that its vertical or not, sounds like a cool concept.

Can we seriously try to get a negative hashtag trending?

Bob Iger's Legacy: The parks are no different than the shelves of a Disney Store

So incredibly depressing, but so incredibly true.

I more caught up in the fact that they are destroying ToT at DCA.
But, I admittedly have not been to DLR or DCA. So I'm not sentimental about. Just feel bad for the folks there that are.

He understands the game. Staying in it means he has a platform to minimize these types of "improvements" to his park.

He hasn't minimized squat. Not that I've seen.

Is it too much of a stretch to consider that the guy likes it?

If it weren't taking over ToT, would you all be so doubtful of his sincerity??

 

[zooey]

What are sight lines like for this? Can't ToT be seen from pretty much every land? Who wants to see an ugly industrial monstrosity from Buena vista street, or walking in from grizzly peak? Yuck what a mess. Destroys the Trolley stop too. They've just run out of creativity, man.

But it's very clearly not in space...

 

[JohnD]

It's happening, oh my gosh, it's happening.
I'm at Disneyland right now and I am extremely tempted to park hop over to DCA and see if anything's going on.

Coming back anytime soon? Get on that ride quick!

 

[rnese]

Let's hope they realize that wouldn't make sense in Orlando. Leave the Hollywood Tower Hotel alone!

Lets be thankful that TDO fought this from happening at our Tower, I know theres the issue of Epcot still, but at least the beautiful interiors and surroundings of tower of terror at DHS appear safe from this mess.

 

[Variable]

The title is a modern WDI classic: both wordy, overly punctuated, and yet bland! "Guardians of the Galaxy -- Mission: BREAKOUT!"

Puts the WED dudes to shame.

Its a mess to abbreviate. Maybe that's a subplot

Crossing fingers (wingtips?) for Howard the Duck to quack his way into the ride somehow.

TDO has more room to operate. Epcot or wherever, they have more room of new building, and more, shall we say, marginal attractions that could be disappeared and replaced with something like this.

Oh, but it is! Marketing has already started changing out the signs and maps to Disney California Space Adventure.

 

[SirNim]

Who here thinks this scene from this classic Disney film would have made a better reskin (even fitting thematically with its location in DCA's Hollywood Land) for the drop-ride structure soon-to-formerly-be-known-as-the-TZTOT?

 

[CDavid]

They are bulldozing future world to build guardians of the galaxy world!!!

Yesss!!!

.

NOT funny. Not at all.

Remember the guy who was on the original Epcot team is still in charge of Epcot. The architecture will still fit FW.

But the theme of the attraction won't. Might just as appropriately put the thing in Frontierland.

Technically, EVERYTHING is in space.
