Never mind, I just saw the other thread discussing my question.
How many people have actually seen "Wind in the Willows"? How many kids could tell you Cyril's relationship to J. Thaddeus?
And yet some were willing to strap themselves to a Mr. Toad's Wild Ride vehicle to save that attraction from destruction.
A good ride is a good ride, regardless of the character's popularity (just as a popular character like Stictch does not guarantee a good attraction.)
That would be my question to. I am fine with it if it is, but a little surprised. :shrug:why would they build a coaster from a movie that is so new. did it do that well in the theater?
it was mentioned recently that there would be an effort to create rides around the time that a film the ride is based on is actually being produced, not years later. It doesn't really matter what a ride is based on anyway--a good ride is a good ride and will have long lines. I am a little concerned about the ride system (and its capacity), but I'm sure the imagineers can think of something. I'm pretty sure the idea would be to have a ride operating around the time that DVDs hit the shelves.That would be my question to. I am fine with it if it is, but a little surprised. :shrug:
I did read that on here I think... Smart marketing too with the DVD, I didn't think of that. I am glad to see The Studios getting some love, looks like there are going to be alot of changes to look forward to.it was mentioned recently that there would be an effort to create rides around the time that a film the ride is based on is actually being produced, not years later.

I second that....I'd rather have Ratawhatever coaster than ANOTHER Finding Nemo attraction inspired by a Disney Presentation of the Pixar Animation Studio's Film, Finding Nemo.
The ride capacity should be around 900-1000 per hour. Not sure how this compares to other D ticket dark ride capacity (Buzz, PPF) Anyone know? The movie has already made $350 million and still has many places it has not been released. Don't misunderestimate the rat. Finally I believe the ride system fits better with Ratatouille than Crush. And Crush seems very popular over in DLP. So, it all adds up that this would be a very popular ride IMHO of course.
i don't wanna see another pixar ride:fork:
As much as I liked Ratatouille, if they build this, its going to date itself fast.
I would guess that it's certainly possible that Disney has done some testing of the waters in the approach you suggest above, but I would be careful about believing they put all that much weight into what they find.
The issue is that the users of these forums aren't really the target audience that Disney would try to please. Most posters on forums such as this are die-hard Disney nuts who tend to be MUCH more critical of the attractions and rides put in place. Many of the posters here are Cast Members, and thus won't really be brining in any revenue to Disney anyway as they aren't spending much money on gate admission or souvineers and such.
The average family that goes to WDW is the target market and many of them would be thrilled with an attraction that most of us on this board might be very dissapointed in...
Understand what I'm trying to say...?
