Guardians Tower announcement Saturday in SD ...

[Variable]

They didn't expect the Comic-Con crowd to react negatively.

Comic Con wants movies. They're not the typical Disney going crowd - I'd wager most of them prefer Uni style parks, grittier bathroom humor, and so forth. The typical comic-con 'princess' carries a gun or knife or sword, likely has a ripped dress, leather, and or fishnet stockings on.

She's uh, to quote another wonderful song "A freak, one you don't take home to mother"

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

We made this a while back for Florida. It worked!

I can't believe this website is still up.

Thanks a lot! Now I get to remember that Ive been upset about that for 18 years at this point. The DLR one just isn't the same.

Beauty in its truest form.

And something tells me you aren't very familiar with common decency. Just because somebody is of different opinion, does not mean he is uninformed or in need of patronising insult.

The same can be said about people
Talking about how a man looks, in this case the loss of common decency of respect.
A man is doing his job and people are talking about his choice of ear decor

   It’s because the change Disney is aggressively pursuing for its parks goes against the last 60 years of what Disney theme parks have been.

   This isn’t just fanboy whining, this is the acknowledgement of a significant shift in how Disney views its parks and designs for them.

As an annual passholder, DVC member, and Tables in Wonderland card holder, we are committed to our three upcoming vacations, in September, December, and May because of sunken costs. However, we intend to limit our Walt Disney World vacations to once a year. These tweets accurately capture our sentiments. We are highly dissatisfied with with the direction of Disney's domestic parks.

We are already exploring either Hilton Head Island or Vero Beach for our 2017 use year.

Kinda off topic, but Hilton Head is a really nice resort. I would highly recommend it. Very relaxing and peaceful, but still with plenty of things to do and see. It had that feel of old school Disney quality and attention to detail that is sometimes missing from WDW resorts these days.

I've never been to Vero Beach but I heard that's nice too.

I'm trying to figure out how this awful idea is going to work with this "Breakout" theme since this ride only goes up and down with the same start/stop point. At least at DHS you could find the Gaurdians in the 5th dimension area break them out and take them down the other shaft with you. Unless the Guardians already broke out and use your elevator car to escape.

Any guest not there right now is a future guest.
Only a very small minority of those future guests knows what was vs what is.

Exactly people still call the Huanted mansion. The Huanted house and TOT the Huanted hotel with the drop. The day this thing done it will be packed. It will be just like Frozen, everybody on the site was upset but then it opened and it had 5hour wait time and co tongues to draw huge crowds. Only a select few will remember the trolls and oil rigs from maelstrom

I'm pretty sure nobody calls it the Huanted House or the Haunted Hotel.

You'd be surprised....

Honey, guests can't get names right to save their lives. Half of them call DHS Universal Studios. They think MK is called Disney World, and thousands every day refer to HM as "the haunted house." They love the Autotopia, meet Barbie instead of Aurora and take pictures in front of Snow White's Castle.

I'm almost afraid to ask this, but do we know if the plan was dropped because cooler heads prevailed and realized it made no sense thematically, or did they just not want to pay for the overlay?

Can't say I think Guardians going to Epcot is any better, especially at the expense of the dinosaur diorama and amazing ride system of UoE. Epcot really is on its way to being the next Studios, eh? Confused and without any kind of defining identity.

Won't the moving theater ride system kind of live on through GMR?

This post made me remember what happened on my ride on ToT today. You guys know the screen at the end of the drop sequence? It wasn't working and it was pitch black until the lights came on in the unload room.

You know what? It added a whole new level of creepiness to the ending of the ride. It kind of worked.

Do people actually think it's going to look like that?
That art has so much saturated color in it to make it look dramatic. The new skin will
Probably be less visible during the day and blend in more at a distance. If anything it will look somewhat to the art at night minus the bright orange and yellow glow

Maybe? Idk. When frozen Ever After was announced I do recall some great debate about its merits online. While not the majority there was a significant population who said they were fine with this school of thought was that Maelstrom had lived its life. There was another significant population that was just neutral on the change. I will agree that at least online the majority seemed against the change. But that doesn't change the fact that there was a significant population arguing that the change was okay. I don't see that same significant population for the Tower of Terror. Meaning it seems pretty one-sided on social media and on this website that this is not wanted. But then again Disney is supposed to have a theme park heritage of giving us what we want before we know we want it? Who knows maybe this will turn out great? But the record, I'm trying to be level-headed here not neutral. I'm against this idea.

No, anyone with the slightest understanding of concept art should know that the final product will, by no means, emit an orange glow from a magnificent steampunk structure.

Any regular guest should expect this:

Meh, soon it'll be a Gaurdians ride anyway.

And people asking where the Harry Potter Land is at at Walt Disney World.
