News Main Street Cinema Chapeked - UPDATE!!

[planodisney]

Yah this sucks.
They should have been able to both maintain this classic attraction AND stop it from being used as a campground.

Michael Eisner is a great man

Doesn't mean there aren't a lot of fans that bash him constantly, especially his later years at TWDC.

 

[Disney Irish]

It’s difficult to care about the parks in a vacuum.

Yep I agree, however most in the fandom do. They don't look at the larger company, only the parks. They see the parks as a silo away from the rest of the company.

Some of us in the fandom, myself included, look at the company as a whole.

The next step is to have t-shirt and hat racks in rides like Mr. Toad.

You grab what you can as the car whips around, and then at the exit there's a CM waiting to take your credit card.

Full honestly I’ve never once stepped foot inside of the cinema so I have no right to be angry but I’m not a fan of this or anything.

Better hope you get your size, no exchanges....

And I'm betting at least half if not more of guests that attend daily don't even know its there. I hate to say it but merch stands tend to attract guests more than a walk-thru theater. So its now seen as a flex space.

Just be thankful its not used as a preview location.

It has six screens inside so they should show all six Star Wars movies simultaneously.

Yes, Episodes 7, 8, 9, Solo, Rogue One and the Holiday Special.

Yes, Episodes 7, 8, 9, Solo, Rogue One and the Holiday Special.

Is the Holiday Special hosted by Jar Jar Binks? That's the only thing I'd watch.

 

[Don Bluth]

"Time it is...for you to look past a pile of old cartoons."

"The sacred classic shorts!"

"Ooh, watched them, have you? Seat-fillers, they were not."

It's so dense. There's so much going on.

Chapek thinks we’re mindless idiots yet expects us to watch cartoons and swype our credit cards at the same time? Holy heck

Isn't that Disney fandom in a nutshell?

 

[TP2000]

On a more cheerful note -

Love the title of this thread.
So incredibly appropriate.

I know, isn't it?! We have a new verb; "Chapeked". We weren't that clever with Paul Pressler, we would just shout PRESSLER! at things.

I hope Bob Chapek knows how honored he should be that his smarmy business style has created a new verb out of his name to be used as an insult.

Has there ever been anyone in charge of the Disney theme parks that fans didn't weirdly obsess over and bash?

I don't remember Tom Staggs causing much alarm. He was sort of harmless and fun and kept announcing big-budget new projects and cut the ribbons on stuff like Cars Land, Buena Vista Street, etc.

People thought Staggs was handsome, so they ignored his history and give him a pass for doing all of the same stuff that continues to be done.

 

[Curious Constance]

I want the record to clearly state that ***I***never thought Staggs was handsome.

Was that how he got a pass? I just thought it was because Cars Land and Buena Vista Street were fabulous.

The record has been documented as such, sweetie.

Projects approved by Jay, but it seems Disney fans often give credit to whomever is standing around on the media day.
