new rumors for disney hollywood studio's

[RSoxNo1]

Are you kidding? Kids LOVE Nightmare Before Christas especially the generation of children who were growing up in the late 80s/early 90s and it still has a HUGE following to this day. NBC merchandise is a big seller for disney and thats why every year at Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland they retheme Haunted Mansion to NBC and why they re-release NBC in disney digital 3D. An attraction based on NBC is LONG overdue and will be extremly popular with Generation Y (Echo-Boomer) guests.

Those kids from the 80s and 90s are no longer "kids". I'm not saying that a NBC ride would be a bad addition to the parks, what I am saying is that at this time, DHS, is probably in need of more of a fantasy land style ride, or at least something with that level of age appeal.

Well, I'm in the group unimpressed with NBC. That said, I would rather have a dark ride based on the movie in the Studios than an overlay at the Haunted Mansion. I might even try it

Just for clarification....

What exactly is the age level of Fantasyland attractions?
Are you referring to the dark rides or maybe just to Dumbo?

 

[RSoxNo1]

I would say that the fantasyland attractions are geared towards 11 or under. I believe that's Disney's "Child" demographic.

But I still enjoy the FL dark rides. :wave:

Yes, just because you enjoy them, doesn't mean you're the target audience. The rides typically appeal to children more than they do adults, that's all I'm saying. For that reason, if NBC was added as a Children's ride, I think it would miss the mark.

I seriously doubt that it would even be marketed as a "children's ride." It would most likely be in either a Haunted Mansion (young teen and up) or Spiderman vein (teen and up).

My gosh... could you imagine a NBC attraction based on Spiderman technology?

If they added an NBC ride, it woudn't be marketed strictly to children. I guess that's why I thought it would fit in so well at DHS. It would be more of a family style ride that is targeting a number of different markets. If it were a dark ride style attraction, kids could go on it, and the subject matter appeals to both teens and adults as well.

I am not so sure it would totally be terrifying children. Possibly some, but look at the Haunted Mansion. That is a perfect example of a spooky theme that appeals to kids, teens, and adults.

In the end, its just about making a good attraction, whatever the film it may be based on. If its good, people will ride it and enjoy it.

That has the potential to be quite remarkable.

"Books," hardly warrant attractions. Franchises do. Suess Landing probably wouldn't have been built if the shear number of books and nostalgia surrounding them hadn't been as strong. Potter wouldn't have been made an attraction if the movies had flopped. Middle-Earth HASN'T been built because, outside the movies, there is little commercial appeal.

What about mainstreet? and tom sawyers Island? these are both from books.

 

[evenflow]

NBX is very popular and they sell merch from the movies. I think it woul dbe a great idea to have a ride.

Wait, mainstreet is based on a book? I thought it was simply archetypical Americana???

 

[bosoxrock3410]

did anyone notice across from toy story mania theres the gift shop then it says studio cafe then a meet and greet. any clue what theme the cafe is?

Yeah this main street book inspiration doesn't ring the bell to me. Some have always claimed some buildings having been inspired by the Polyanna movie. I think Disney had his very own idea of how main street should look like.

 

[Swoosh]

^Mainstreet was inspired by Marceline, Missouri, one of Walt's boyhood homes.

Except Pollyanna was released 5 years after Disneyland opened and none of the WDW buildings look anything like Harrington. WDW's Main Street reminds me more of the film version of Hello, Dolly! than anything else. despite it being released just 2 years before WDW opened.

Both Swoosh and CMU are correct about Main Street's influences.

My English teacher told me that there was inspiration pulled from the book "Mainstreet" by Sinclair Lewis.

I know that Main street, usa was mainly inspired by Walt's nostalgia for where he grew up, and the turn of the century. Thats pretty common knowledge.

I have never read this book, but thats what he said.

Is your English teacher a Boat Captain on the side by any chance? :lol:
I kid, I kid. I know the book and I don't think there is any truth to that. My understanding is that elements were taken from Marceline, MO (as swoosh said) and some other places.

 

[PeoplemoverTTA]

The attraction could survive without a patched together Rod Serling nudging you along.

That is definitely true...check out Tokyo's ToT, which I think is amazing (and uses the mirror effect more successfully, IMO, than DCAs), and is not based on "The Twilight Zone."
