That would actually be amazing.
In the 90s it felt like a new disney animated feature was an EVENT now just another in the cycle of churned out films.

That was one of two clones dropped into the parks in the throes of panic.They just added a massive new ride and expansion to the France pavillion. I'm sure theyll add more rides in due time
I think their point was that it was selected for cloning out of the recognition that there was a desperate lack of attractions coming online.it was a clone, but that doesnt mean it wasnt a huge addition that cost 10s if not 100s of millions of dollars. I think its a great addition to an otherwise lame (no rides) corner of the park. Not every ride is gonna be a one off exclusive, they build clones of tons of rides and they have been since the very beginning of Disney Parks.
Wasn't there some renewed push to bring an attraction to Japan in the last 5 years or so?Imagine if they added an actual ride to a theme park.
Japan has always been the no-brainer but that’s not happened either.
Disney thought enough of Inside Out’s legs to add an inside out ride to DCA 4 years after the movie’s release.Pixar has ONE memorable non-sequel film since 2010 and it's Coco. Brave, Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur, Onward, Soul, Luca, and Turning Red have all already been forgotten.
On the WDAS side, Wreck-It Ralph belongs in the parks. Moana belongs in the parks. Encanto belongs in the parks. Raya, Zootopia, and Big Hero have faded from relevance.
That is speculation - Ratatouille was in contest for the France Pavilion alongside Tokyo's Beauty and the Beast attraction. While I personally feel Beauty is the more impressive attraction, I also think Rat is definitely the better fit for the Pavilion. But they definitely weren't, like, waiting for a check to clear to approve Ratatouille. Disney has the money it needs to do what it wants, and then some.i see your point, but I dont think the france expansion was an act of desperation, I think it was something that they planned on doing probably since they built it in paris, but they didnt have the money until they announced it in 2017
but this is just speculation, regardless Im happy with how much Disney has been adding to the parks in the last and upcoming couple of years. It seems like we are in a period of growth never seen before, esp if you count the parks outside the USA. Epcot has/is being massively overhauled with GotG, Rat expansion, new communicore, JoW, SPace 220, Festival Pavilion, Harmonious, and center spine area. MK has gotten Tron coaster, DHS has gotten Star Wars Land and TSL, AK has gone the longest without anything major, Pandora was 2016/17ish. in CA we got Avengers Campus, and new TT with MMRR. Thats a lot of cool stuff imo.
Then in Paris their version of the studios park is doubling in size in the next couple years with massive additions, CHina has Zootopia land and Frozen Land, and japan has Fantasy Springs and new Space Mountain coming.
I do recall (I think) hearing of that - though not from anywhere I could vouch for personally I don’t think.Wasn't there some renewed push to bring an attraction to Japan in the last 5 years or so?
Curious to know what that could have been, or if there's any chance it might still happen . . .
No, you’re telling yourself something you want to believe. Disney doesn’t plan that far out ahead, had no issue with funding and was acting out of desperation. They need “quick” capacity at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT.i see your point, but I dont think the france expansion was an act of desperation, I think it was something that they planned on doing probably since they built it in paris, but they didnt have the money until they announced it in 2017
Find the money?i see your point, but I dont think the france expansion was an act of desperation, I think it was something that they planned on doing probably since they built it in paris, but they didnt have the money until they announced it in 2017

They also wanted to shove it into the Imagination pavilion, but Pete Docter rejected the idea because he didn't want his characters to replace Figment.Disney thought enough of Inside Out’s legs to add an inside out ride to DCA 4 years after the movie’s release.
That attraction is little more than a dressed-up fairground flat ride. Don't get me wrong, any of the parks at Disney World could use more rides like this, but it hardly represents a substantial investment or feat of Imagineering. They could just as easily re-theme it to their next movie.Disney thought enough of Inside Out’s legs to add an inside out ride to DCA 4 years after the movie’s release.
Emotional Whirlwind, which was itself a re-theme of an existing ride, somehow cost more than most parks pay for a brand new ride of the same type. Re-theming would somehow not be easy for Disney.That attraction is little more than a dressed-up fairground flat ride.

Yeah, but they still reskinned it to this movie and not a different one.That attraction is little more than a dressed-up fairground flat ride.

It might seem like they're doing things, but really it doesn't even start to scratch the surface of what is needed. Rat will net Epcot one new attraction. Same thing with tron in magic kingdom. The studios only gained one as well. technically zero if you count things like sounds dangerous and idol that are gone. And if you want to count Avatar, animal kingdom gained only one as well. So with four parks, we get four new attractions at best. For the amount the parks have grown in demand, they've done very little to meet that demand. They had WAY too many years of stagnation to make whats going on now impressive in my opinion.It seems like we are in a period of growth never seen before, esp if you count the parks outside the USA.
