To think they cut a dark ride for dining that's hardly ever open. Classic Pressler decisionmaking skills at work.
I don’t think clopins was ever actually slated for a dark ride, it has less space than most people realise, if there is going to be a ride there it’ll likely be like that weird alice ride that half outside from Disneyland, they aren’t fitting Shanghai pan in that spaceTo think they cut a dark ride for dining that's hardly ever open.

Challenge trails is best kept a Shanghai exclusive I think; Shanghai is the one park that feels both theme park and “park” and challenge trails fits in well with that, I don’t think it really suits the vibe of the American parksthey need to bring those rope course challenge trails from shanghai to USA
Still wish HKDL built Tim Delaney's concept of a POTC flume. Is there still room for it between adventureland and Grizzly?Tron is yesterdays news now (not to mention a low realistic ROI) but a POTC style attraction using a fluke system should be a no brainer. Stick Pan in Philharmagic plus the long anticipated Tomorrowland attraction and it'd work wonders
There’s still an expansion pad in the area.Still wish HKDL built Tim Delaney's concept of a POTC flume. Is there still room for it between adventureland and Grizzly?
Wasn't Geyser Mountain pitched for this side of the park too? Or was that exclusive to just DLP?There’s still an expansion pad in the area.
and give the park a much needed E-Ticket!geyser mountain would be sooo cool imo
Which to be fair that’s what quinjet is/wasand give the park a much needed E-Ticket!
But given that previous castle parks had dark rides on both sides of the castle, the precedent was there, and they could have easily (had they wanted to) built out the show building more to accommodate another dark ride.I don’t think clopins was ever actually slated for a dark ride, it has less space than most people realise, if there is going to be a ride there it’ll likely be like that weird alice ride that half outside from Disneyland, they aren’t fitting Shanghai pan in that space
Plus the park kinda did need the dining before explorers restaurant and now arendelle took the wind out of the original areas dining sails, definitely needs to go now
true but Pooh is already on clopins side and there isn’t a lot of space there, I agree that maybe concentrating a lot of the dining in fantasyland wasn’t the best idea but at its launch the park didn’t have Tahitian terrace or explorers so it was basically the two fantasyland restaurants, Main Street, comet cafe/starliner and Riverview, 5 restaurants for a budgeted 6 million makes sense to meBut given that previous castle parks had dark rides on both sides of the castle, the precedent was there, and they could have easily (had they wanted to) built out the show building more to accommodate another dark ride.
Judging by the tepid crowd levels the park has experienced for most of its existence, while I wasn't there, I'm not convinced that the park really ever *needed* dining on both sides of the Fantasyland courtyard. Certainly, if it ever did, I imagine the demand didn't last much beyond the first few months of the park's existence.
Well it certainly looks better than the Epcot version so farDisney has shared a first look at Frozen Ever After in World of Frozen.

To be fair other than the layout from what we have seen so far this doesn’t look anything like the patchwork ride at Epcot, this looks more like a true movie based dark ride like beauty and the beast at TokyoOk EPCOT Center time travelers... who on earth had Maelstrom on their bingo cards being cloned 2x in the future?
What a timeline we live in.

The new animatronics look nice.
