Rumor Moana E-Ticket Ride to Adventureland

I'd much rather they spend the money to retheme Astro Orbiter and replace its 94 aesthetic with something new, than retheme Aladdin to Moana

Adventure Boat Land!

I like Tomorrowland 94……
BRING IT BACK

Because it's ugly eye sore in the middle of the land and any capacity lost from it could easily be absorbed into Moana's and BBT.

Not convincing.

They did. 12 years ago.

No, they didn’t. That’s not what I’m referring to. That didn’t solve the problem Aladdin solves.

alladdin spinner is the ugliest part of MK and DSP/AW

Maybe to you, I love the views from riding it I'd say it has the best visual atmosphere while riding it vs contrast to Paris and Tokyo. It doesn't bother me only because I'm an Aladdin fan. It be great though if an Aladdin area be built even bigger more in the west edge side of MK.

Isn't the hourly for Carpets only like 400 guests? (on a good day)

A Zamperla Aero Combat is advertised as having a theoretical hourly capacity of 420 people from an instantaneous capacity of 24 people (12 vehicles holding 2 riders). The Magic Carpets have an instantaneous capacity of 64 peoples (16 vehicles holding 4 riders). It should easily be doing more than 400 people an hour.

Side note, the 16 arm spinner is a product Zamperla only makes for Disney.

Easily double that

Not according to this site. But then theoretical doesn't mean much. https://crooksinwdw.wordpress.com/2013/12/14/theoreticaloperational-hourly-ride-capacity-at-wdw/

The numbers on that site are incredibly inaccurate.

Ok.

Ah, so this means the Fire Island ride is cancelled?

Happy for WDI to hire me for any research purposes.

Fire Island (or whatever it was called) expansion plot. Expect an E-ticket level with POSSIBLE Shanghai pirates tech.

Don’t we know fairly definitively this is not Shanghai Pirates? Reminiscent of, sure. But it’s a different ride system entirely, hence the patents.

I’m under the impression the only place that might implement Shanghai’s tech is DCA’s Pandora.

That’s always been my impression. The Shanghai tech seems like it’s a bit much and unnecessary for a Moana attraction.

It’s more like Cosmic Rewind, which is a really odd comparison. But the spins are timed, the velocity is more gravity dependent. Like a traditional flume.

Shanghai programmatically times all velocity and turns. Which caused problems because it’s accelerating and decelerating against the current it is in. It’s more like Gringotts I guess.

I know it’s pedantic, but it will make for a different experience.

iirc it's like, the cousin to Shanghai pirates? Not the tech directly but with elements of it.

Remember that patent with the Moana boat? Yeah that. That's probably it. I can't read parents well and relatively unfamiliar with the Shanghai pirates tech outside of the general gist of it, so that's on me reading the patents a bit wrong haha.

Why remove the spinner? The park needs more rides, not less. The traffic flow is not an issue and neither is the “immersion.”

A major purpose of Disney parks - which separate them from amusement parks like Six Flags - is to transport people to other times and places. This is why so much attention is put into the level of detail, realism, blocking sightlines to the outside world, etc. Unlike Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, which are meant to reflect more abstract themes, Adventureland was designed to transport guests to a series of locales (which, in its original version, were beautifully blended into each other via "cross-fades"). Plopping an amusement park ride into the middle of it single-handedly destroys that.

I have always had trouble reading my parents too, always wound up with a spanking....

Thanks for bringing us your thoughts.

I’m glad this spot is likley getting filled. Such a shame fire mountain will never happen, looked like a cool idea. It’ll be a very cool ride, and is a guaranteed hit.
