One step closer...

Now they just need to retheme RnRC for a whole spooky area at DHS.

Rockin’ Roller Coaster starring Alice Cooper

Dr. Strange is vaguely horror-adjacent in some ways. Doing a RNRC replacement styled as Dr. Strange: Mirrorverse of Madness or whatever with a lot of space-folding mirror dimension projections could be a good way to make decent use of the existing layout while taking into account the limited space for setpieces.

Actually sounds pretty cool!

So like…. a Villain Land?

Nope different vibe.

And they are not going to do it now. It’s a simple fact. There are almost 0 recent examples of Disney doing this. If they’re kicking something out to better utilize the space they are not spending the money to move it.

They did in AK with the Lion King show when Pandora took the old spot

Im surprised they didn't put this into Epcot

I'm surprised they didn't put it in "Villainsland"

Lion King is a people eater, extremely popular and I'm sure get high GSR scores, and honestly works better in Africa than it did in Camp Minnie-Mickey. I definitely think it's around 1% at best that Disney actually moves something instead of completely replacing it. In this particular case, Lion King was the exception, not the rule.

World Celebration would've been a better fit

Because Disney gonna Disney? They frequently remain fuzzy on the dates until things are very close to opening, and considering they often go with astronomical seasons instead of meteorological ones, it could easily open as late as December.

It's not opening this year.

Say that again?

Hopefully this one can be more geared for an older audience. I know it’s Disney, but mermaids and Anna Elsa sing alongs clearly target a certain age demographic.

Hollywood studios used to have alot more mature content shows, so hopefully this is at the very least somewhat sorta geared towards adults.

Mermaid isn’t?

Hey now! Those of us at the late night comedy warehouse all took an oath not to say anything!!!!!!

 

[J4546]

Nice announcement from nowhere, I dig it

 

[fgmnt]

This is the biggest that I’m aware of that has been pending for a long time.

I think the third announcement that's not that big would be a new Disney Jr show, but can't remember if Wondrous China exists but is still not released. Feel like if the film is made, no better time to throw it in there than 2025.

 

[Chef idea Mickey`=]

They have in the past.

They have?

Yes, not a crazy common occurrence but it has happened. Festival of Lion King is the most recent. Carousel of Progress moved twice, from Worlds Fair to Disneyland and then from Disneyland to MK.

Specific to 3D shows Captain EO left and came back but without all in theatre effects. So the idea of moving muppets to another 3d theatre would certainly be on the table.
