Is this what we have to look forward to from Tom Staggs?

[jhastings74]

:lol: Technically it got moved before I could include it so I left it out.

Here is my take on Staggs...

He will be the next President of the TWDC. Once Iger took over Eisner's job... there was a void left for President.

I think this move was for him to be more well rounded to be slotted into the position in the future..

I like Stagg's........ Better then Rasulo..... he has also endured quite a number of years with the company as well.

 

[Mouse Detective]

Staggs is rumored to have spent more time at Disneyland in his first six months on the job than Rasulo spent in six years.

Well he needs to spend a few weeks in Walt Disney World and really see what's going on.

Considering the guy changed up the FLE to include another ride rather than a land of meet and greets, I think people need to step off the ledge. I doubt he had much input on the campaign anyway.

 

[trr1]

yeah I think he was just the shield that had to annouce it

 

[HMF]

Rasulo was much worse.

Um, What did I miss....

what new ride is being added to the FLE?

what new ride is being added to the FLE?

Several very credible sources have informed us about a month ago that Cinderella and Aurora are heading to SWSA where they will take their M&G positions and Snow White will be getting her dark ride eliminated in place of a new D/possible E ticket Seven Dwarfs Mine Coaster.

:sohappy:

Dwarf Mine Coaster

Who suggested it might be an E-ticket?

 

[GLaDOS]

Who suggested it might be an E-ticket?

No one.

 

[Tigger1988]

Who suggested it might be an E-ticket?

No one, in fact every reliable source on the board has stressed that it wouldn't be an E-ticket.

 

[RSoxNo1]

Yeah, unless something substantial has changed, the Mine Car ride will not be an E-Ticket.

 

[DisneyWall-E]

I guess this is a little on topic. What is the chances that TWDC woud groom John Lasseter to take over the head job?

 

[DisneyParksFan1]

Give Staggs some time. You may actually thank him when FLE is complete.

Agreed.

Actually, if you ever cared to ask any of these insiders you talk about, nobody knows anything about the ride to judge whether it's an A ticket or E ticket. The combination of the space being quite large enouh to handle an E-ticket and the mysteriousness of the concept art means you can't quite rule anything out.

They would need a "Roy" figure to handle the financial side.

Its so hilarious because people were all like "OMG Staggs is going to turn everything around!!111one." Ha...:brick:

This is actually what the company needs. It worked great with Walt (always in the clouds) and Roy (feet planted firmly on the ground) and again with Frank Wells (imagination) and Eisner (money .. lost control when Frank passed away).

John and ???.

I believe Lee directly stated it would be a D-ticket. The land is about the same size as the Fantasyland east showbuilding (about the size of the Haunted Mansion showbuilding), which contains two dark rides, a food and beverage location, and a couple of merchandise locations. If this was a coaster-type ride, the ride vehicle would be moving significantly faster, meaning a shorter ride. I think it's too early to make further assumptions until additional information is released, but I'm fairly confident that a the new ride is not on the scale of an e-ticket.
