@Disnerd2003 Is there any one park in particular that you feel needs the most love?

 

[FigmentFan82]

Loving this thread! Regardless of how things shake out it’s fun to hear and speculate

condition of WS.

Is this in reference to all of the construction going on or something else?

 

[Disnerd2003]

Just the crowd levels and infrastructure if World Showcase. It's very different than it used to be.

 

[Epcot_Imagineer]

Some of us spent years building credibility. Congratulations on your meteoric rise.

Yeah, I'm with you on this... I'm really going to need some sort of input from @wdwmagic on the reasoning between the delete and undo because my eyes are about to roll out of my head on some of these posts.

@Disnerd2003 I’m a big fan of Moana. Is Journey of Water the only thing planned with that IP at the moment, or are there any other ideas up at the moment for it?

one of my favorite memories was siting on the curb in the general Norway area, back in early 02 i believe it was and watching that parade.

This is the nostalgia that I like to bring to meetings and pitches. Unfortunately here in management theres only a few of us like this.

if Spectro goes to Epcot, will Figment host this show too ala Jiminy Cricket?- Spectro isnt going to epcot.

I find this so, SO interesting. Does someone thing a Spectro Sequel might fill the void left by a Fantasmic! Refurb, perhaps? I still think Spectro would do well in Epcot, considering the character gardens that will be built there. Replace the SpectroMen with Dreamfinder and Figment and I feel like the concept would be complete.

Some have been tossed up but none have stuck. Expect changes to Journey of Water's concept.

More of an emphasis on the IP or less? I loved how there seemed to be an edutainment angle in Journey of Water's concept but if they remove a lot of that it'll be very disappointing to me.

I know exactly who the OP is. It's so obvious if you think about it-he's the bus driver on the POFQ to MK route! Just put the pieces of the puzzle together, trust me...

 

[MisterPenguin]

No. We call it the "Cheap Chapek Plan". Bring in money by slowly rolling things out.

Interesting. Besides SWL, what other lands has Chapek slowly rolled things out on?

Whether all this is true or not, I guess we’ll see, but there’s one thing that really doesn’t make sense to me. Why take the time to create some backstory for deniability, then turn around and say you did it, why you did it, and exactly how you did it. If you don’t care if people believe you, just say you have ties to executives at TDO and let fly with the news. That a lot of effort for something completely unnecessary.

Found your employee ID photo...

Maybe because of all the people hounding him for “credibility”
Why not ask him a question and see if he has some info for you?

 

[MisterPenguin]

Either ask questions or don’t . Plenty of other threads to read if you’re bored

It's a discussion board. Discussing a self-proclaimed insider's credibility is completely germane. If you don't like it, then *you* don't read.

Then don’t read. Please stop hating on the guy. Unless you’re a PR person trying to attack his credibility.

Are you on Universal's payroll defending him so that there are embarrassing Disney leaks?

You see how that nonsense of claiming people's intentions are because they're hired by someone is counterproductive? It's just a form of ad hominem.

Just so you know, everything this alleged insider has said is mostly a rehash of what our insiders have said plus speculation that won't come to fruition for over a year. Let him give us a few insider leaks about stuff coming out soon that no one else knows about.

 

[Disorbust]

Whats amazing about this thread is a what a "bag of cats" we are lol. Some of the things people have requested, be brought back or added I haven't even thought of in ten years. It does give some perspective that they will never be able to please everyone.

ALTHOUGH I think we all would be happier if the prices match the value of the parks.

A boat ride would have been nice. Similar to River Journey in Pandora but longer... Remake of The Land perhaps?

 

[FigmentFan82]

If the info is what’s been talked about and the thread still exists, then ask questions on topic. That’s pretty easy to do
