I think P and F Ride at this point is pretty much out from what I'm reading. Thankfully. To me that'd be just as good as leaving it empty because A: I don't watch the show so I wouldn't ride it and B: more importantly it wont last more than 10 years then they probably will be stuck with an empty building they messed up with kooky signage and loudness that flows like a stone in a river. Or the ride will slowly get less of a line as the Phineas generation grows up and moves on, and the next generation of kids wonder why there isn't a Wacky Marky Mole Man and Stacy ride or whatever the next craze will be. I wonder how many people here under the age of 17 know who darkwing duck is? Song of the South has staying power because it's a cult classic, It has music that people remember well, Its a forbidden fruit, and lastly Zip A Dee Doo Dah sorta became the "It's A Small World" song of the early 90s. (just watch disneyland fun and see their goofy as hey version of it!). Gadget stays because it really doesnt derive much from the show its just a rollercoaster and no one really cares if kiddie coasters are themed they just put extremely young kids on them to get them into coasters and because like me they want to see if they are too terrified or nauseous. (and the kind of kids that may eventually wonder why disney doesnt have a super x-treme 90 loop stand up flying hanging coaster thats over 500 feet tall).
However that all becomes a moot point when I realize that even if it was a show I watched It would still be a bad idea in my mind. Even a tron ride is bad in my mind. Imho you should't theme a pavillion on one show, its extremely limiting. If the land became a Lion King Pavilion we wouldn't have Soarin'. Energy is a Ellen Degenerous pavillion and look what happened! People keep saying its so 90s! The Nemo pavillion is dreadful. (Imo about seas is they should at this point demolish the omnimover entirely and create a new next gen attraction like when they first thought up Soarin', since obviously they have no idea what to do with it so they just stuck those 2-D plasma screens there, a gimmick that existed in a certain form when rides like If you had wings were made) and They put tron like stuff in TT and EVERYONE IS COMPLAINING (except me cuz I realize its not torn and it feels more epcoty).
So if you look at everyone's least favorite epcot attractions it's those that feature some pop culture thing in them to rake in customers. Majority of people don't like seas, People constantly complain about ellen, People complain about HISTA and EO, More people every day seem to appear who didn't like the mexican pavillion upgrade (talk about rushed!) And then there's Imagination! Yes! Imagination itself ties into the world of disney's 90s inventor movies! and brings in a celebrity as well! So it appears to me that making another tie in ride shouldn't be much different unless they totally break the bank on it and make it so immersive your body itself feels like its turning cartoon! Not to mention find a way to make it fit into the theme unlike nemo, of the future world, without it just having some vague excuse connection, (cough nemo again) to the old pavillion. Oh and they may want to entirely demolish the building and totally rebuild it costing tons more cash. Oh and don't forget they need to make it draw non-fans of the show by putting something unique in there and not just having you roll past some stupid plasma screens and cheap AAs because people keep complaining about Fantasyland Darkrides not being updated and saying they can just watch the movies.
or they could just dust off some old scenery put in a few enhancements and bring back the dreamfinder and get hoards of nostalgic visitors and kids who look at the old ride on youtube and wish they rode it flocking over.
The choice seems more clear to me that way. Regardless of how popular the tie in is, people won't like it if it doesn't impress them. And people are hard to impress these days.
My question to everyone is though, WHERE DID THE IDEA COME FROM THAT THE RIDE IS GOING TO CHANGE TO PANDF? was it extrapolation from the moving of the world showcase thing? Other than here I don't really see anyone talking about it being more than a vague rumor. What I seriously think in my mind is that they actually have no idea what they're gonna do with the ride and their all tossing random ideas out and this one proposal happened to leak online. But hey, thats the internet for ya! I'll admit I can't shut my mouth lol. and everyone has their opinions. Because of all this discussion it blows up in scale and then people start to believe it.
Also I can't help but feel the urge to believe that someone up there is reading these forums and looking to see which idea is more popular. I wonder if subconsciously at least anyone else feels like this? However foolish it is lol. Nah im just silly
