"Mystic Manor" destined for Animal Kingdom?

[Phicinfan]

What happened to all the folks that are usually out of joint because someone opened a 12 year old thread? I'm just asking, I don't and never have had have a problem with it, but the silence is deafening.

Cause this has legs. We know PW is being removed, and we have one solid insider stating there are plans for that area, that at one time included an "E" ticket experience, but that plan may have been lowered already. So that is why I assume no one is having issues here

If you want a unique ride system... what's left?

Two systems that WDW does not have are a ferris wheel and a kuka arm ride.

For repetitive systems:

• WDW has six omnimovers (Buzz, HM, Mermaid, SSE, Nemo, Midway).
• Will soon have 9 coasters (Cosmic, TRON, Goofy, Space, 7D, BTM, SDD, EE, RnRC), and if PW stuck around, it would have been 10 coasters.
• Has 7 slow moving boat rides (OK, two have a minor dip -- IaSW, Gran Fiesta, LwtL, NRJ, PotC, FEA, JC).
• Has 7 spinners: Teacups, Carousel, Dumbo, Astro, Carpets, Alien SS, Triceratops
• As far as SCREENZ! go, only has 4 simulators: Soarin', ST, MF:SR, FoP.
• And just 3 LPS: RotR, MMRR, Rat.

So... I wouldn't say LPSs are being overused, even if they add one more in a park that has none.

I would also note that it seems WDW can never get enough "family coasters," as they are constantly the most popular rides.

The Rumored Black Box attraction at DHS was also LPS, correct?

I just want a Lion King dark ride. If busbar saves money to pay for AAs, that’s fine by me. And to be clear, I actually really like MMRR. Maybe three new trackless rides within less than 2 years is too much for me. Of course, if they started building a new one next year, it wouldn’t open until 2025. Maybe it wouldn’t feel like overkill by then.

Right now, I want a new trick from Disney. Happy we are getting 2 coasters next year.

You think both are on track for next year? Do you think either one will be open by late April? (Asking for a friend)

I know it goes along with boat rides, but I'd love to see Shanghai Pirates tech in Orlando...

There's not a single IP character in Mystic Manor, so this will not happen.

Unless they have plans for Mystic Manor entertainment tie-ins. Would make for a good movie...

 

[aliceismad]

They could have a ride system kinda like Spider-Man/Transformers. I guess the Dinosaur system is similar but Uni does more with their including integration of motion with the scenes better.

I wouldn’t mind seeing them duplicate the Test Track ride system by bringing in JTTCOTE to WDW.

I could see someone at WDW wanting to use the Spiderman technology, even if they can't use that franchise. Of course, I've not heard Spiderman getting many rave reviews.

Yes and yes.

The ride technology is still great. You can argue the screens have aged, which (staying on topic), is a potential problem for all of the screen-based attractions.

The screens on the brand new Spiderman ride that opened in DCA this summer? Or just screens in general? I know people are disappointed that TSM has aged and Buzz is poorly maintained, but they're both fun rides and interactive.

I would love see a play on the trackless system that allows for multiple different sequences/rooms within the same ride. The trackless systems lets you not be limited to a linear ride. Having experiences where riders get different rides would be great. It would also allow for changes/updates to certain rooms while not taking down the entire room.

Just to be clear, I’m talking about Spider-Man from Uni not the lame ride in DCA

Just FYI:

The UO IoA Spider-Man ride (The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man) is a kuka arm plus 3D screens in a fully set practical environment and is constantly praised as one of the best theme park rides ever.

The brand new DCA Spider-Man ride (WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure) is similar to Midway Mania, but instead of a gun, you flick your wrists like Spider-Man to shoot webbing at 3D targets. It gets mixed reviews.

I don't think anyone would bemoan "another dark boat ride" if it's the super plussed version of Shanghai Pirates!

 

[MisterPenguin]

Yes.

Just change a few set pieces, add new projections, reroute the LPS vehicles, and presto change-o, you have a brand new ride!!

And we all know that Disney would never let a new ride that has the ability to be updated sit for years and years without that update.

I think it's because it's been mentioned a few times in recent Disney Dish podcasts as being rumored to come to AK. So, while it's an old rumor, the recent removal of PW and the refreshed rumors as to MM coming make this newly relevant?

My bad, thought the reference was to UIOA Spiderman.

No…move on

this one is more silly than normal

Since I heard it on the DD, I was curious if it was ever mentioned, did a search for it and resurrected the thread.

Oh duh. I kinda forgot it existed.

The kukas are Forbidden Journey, no?
