News New Theater to be built at the Magic Kingdom - now cancelled?

[marni1971]

So when should we expect to hear about the theater's replacement?

You may hear of the cancellation before the replacement.

It’s starts next week but who really knows when we will find out

Whoops, I was thinking it was a lot later. That's embarrassing.

They should demo the entire parking area make a new land using WIR, Incredibles, etc. Using themes of retro, superheros, arcades, etc. Something Powers? Power-Uptown? Or something as simple as Metroville. I'd rather those IPs go in a dedicated land vs a continued bastardizing of Tomorrowland.

I figured they would maybe give a hint about the replacement in the cancellation announcement in order to distract from the cancellation.

I really don’t know if they have a replacement far enough advanced to announce. If this were real world news it would be a developing story.

You're assuming there is a replacement in place.

I did. It seems I gave them too much credit.

Well if they build it in DS, instead of getting to see the shows with park admission, you would have to pay potentially $100 or more for the show! 2,000 seats, they could easily rake in a million a weekend from admission alone. I just hope to God they build another attraction that's at least a d ticket to replace this theater at MK.

Disney Springs would have a different budget separate from the parks.

It closed in October

Oh wow! So, is it just empty now?

I bet if they did that, the Doctor Phillips center would probably rethink their “Walt Disney Theater” name.
They’d be in direct competition.

For sure, but I mean Seattle has two touring houses that host full seasons, I’m sure Orlando probably could.

This whole thing begs the question of why did they even bother removing Tomorrowlands Galaxy Palace Theater. I realize Upper Management couldn't be expected to park to far away but honestly they could have reworked it by enclosing it add some seating and add a show that didn't suck!

There’s definitely plenty of shows touring

It's not just upper management, that parking lot is used by maintenances vehicles, service trucks, VIP tours, mid-level managers who are over there for a meeting, etc. There's a massive lack of back of house space at Magic Kingdom, compared to the other parks, so that's one of the times support needs trumped guest needs.

In your opinion, was it worth giving up the theater project to get the replacement?

Assuming you can't get both.

I present the solution for having no replacement ready: release more info on the TRONorrowland Speedway, with a short blurb about the theatre being "rethought to allow for even more magic in the kingdom."

...because, like me, you are really worried with the seemingly lack of direction/story consistency that Kathy Kennedy is "leading"...

They definitely do not have that JK type at the helm... That has always been my concern.

I miss a day on the site and miss this news. What happened to cancel the theater?

Nothing has been confirmed 100%

That’s interesting being that it was officially announced. You’d think they will at,east try to have something to supposably take it place when it does come out official.
