i completely agree! i've mentioned the same thing a long time ago.
the way i see it is that Disney has SUCH a creative team behind them, that the movie tie-ins (such as BLSRS) are 'we've run out of ideas' rides. but i do see Thrawn's point....Disney has these well known/loved characters, and it would be a shame to not see them in one of the parks SOMEWHERE...i just don't want to see ALL the characters. the aspect of Disney World that i love is that it takes you to many other times and places...not just DISNEY world. see what i'm saying?
but when it comes to the Studios parks (MGM, Universal, etc) then they HAVE to have movie tie-ins...which is perfectly fine to me....that's what they were designed to do; to take you INSIDE the movies, and in some cases, promote movies or tv shows.
in most movie tie-ins, Disney has done well with staying with the theme of the lands/parks...except in one case...how in the hell did they ever think they could tie-in Aladdin with Adventureland? and why? Aladdin is old news! and i know some people still really love the movie, which is fine....but why but it in Adventureland (used to be one of my most fave lands in MK) that land is so mixed up now! you have the jungle on your left hand side, Agrabah on your right hand side, and the Caribbean in front of you! it's just ridiculous! why couldn't they have extended behind Fantasyland or something?
to get a little off subject here...."(By the way, the Haunted Mansion movie storyine does not tie in with the attraction at all. Which is a good and bad thing. Eddie Murphy moves into a house, neglects his family, and the ghosts teach him how "family" is a very valuable thing to have. WHAT??? )"
WHAT?!?! that has got to be one of the worst plots i've ever heard! if they could not have made up a better plot than that, i wish they would just leave the ride's name out of it! boy...now i really dread to hear the story line they've come up with for Pirates!
