Not I.I disagree I would much rather have WRE than pirates.
Sounds like today...a bad econ, FLE, MI...:lol:Baxter and Davis proposed a joint WRE (the ride, not the full Thunder Mesa) AND BTM. Walker turned it down due to the economy, PotC being very similar and Tomorrowland phase 2 coming online.
DLP has a lot of the concept for it in their BTMRR, though. Island and all.I have heard that Davis refused to work with Baxter and held a life long grudge with him over this?
Also didn't POTC kill WRE coming to DLP, and TDL?

It stopped it initially. It was the first straw on the camel's back. :lol:PotC only delayed WRE, which was then brought back to light after PotC was built.... so how did the Pirates kill it?
Not I.
Pirates IS Disney. Even back then.... I don'f know if the Western Genre could ever be that popular.
It defintely could have. Doesn't matter what it is as long as it's quality.
And WRE probably would have been better than the castrated Pirates WDW got.

I agree, it would have been awesome.
I'm fine with Pirates, though.

You like dumbed-down versions of E-Ticket attractions?
You support mediocrity?!!?!?!?!
The concept.
And the fact that they opted for that.
Chill out, gentlemen.
Little quick for the jugular tonight, are we?
Thought you meant execution....
Sorry.:wave:
:lol: I can be a tad touchy...it's fine, mr. A tad touchy. :lookaroun :d

POTC put it on hold but really did kill it along with BTMR. If they never built POCT WRE would have been built. Also there was a lot of talk of bringing WRE to DLP and TDL as well. But guess what killed that? POCT, both parks wanted POCT instead.
Right. Kinda proving my point...Pirates is more "Disney" and thus more renown. Who knows... WRE could have gone the way of Horizons.
WRE if built would be just as big today imo.
ANother interesting note is Tony Baxter tried to make it up to Marc Davis for years. When they closed America Sings Baxter saved the AA's and put them in Splash Mountain.
