And suddenly everything becomes so clear.

Disney-MGM Studios was never cool.

Disney-MGM Studios was a great park. Like much of WDW, a lack of investment led to DHS not living up to its earlier potential. Sunset Blvd, in particular, is widely considered one of the best things that WDI has done.

It's cool that you don't like it, but it also isn't a bunch of warehouses, which is the question that I was responding to.

"No one in this thread is overreacting."

[quoted posts of overreactions]

"Those don't count because they're knee jerk and 'grind my gears' posts." (Whatever that means.)

Sure, no one's overreacting if you handwave away posts of actual overreactions.

I conceded that to you, with humor, but I guess it didn't translate. Yea, people vent, like friends venting about their spouses and families at work etc. So what if people do that here? Who is to say that all of these overreactions you mention aren't humorous, cathartic banter among fans? Why should they be stomped out of the discussion? Done discussing this.

I give you points for having a good attitude and a sense of humor.

Chicken Little was my favorite movie. They need to make a second one now!!!

I made a chicken little themed birthday cake for my nephew the year the movie came out.
The cakes where all cut to look like crop circles and themed and then made the alien creatures and several other elements to create and elaborate themed cake.
That's when I had time to make and sell cakes for any occasion

He loved that movie

Can you convince me that a Hollywood land could be cool? Because all I can think of are large, ugly soundstages.

I'm drawing something up will share. think it'll be more effective than just rambling.

Just make it more like the area surrounding Tower of Terror at MGM. One of the weirdest differences between the two was that the MGM version looked more like it was in the Hollywood Hills than the one actually located in Southern California. Maybe they cheaped or maybe they figured people had already seen that sort of thing in California. Either way, both versions were charming in their own ways as a result.

Umm... Hey Disney, how about one of these pubs for Pixar Pier!

Luckily the mayor will be gone next year. Hopefully someone who will be willing to work better with Disney and encourage growth for the resort will replace him. @TP2000 time to start thinking about a campaign slogan.

Oh, heck no!

That's not my campaign slogan, that's my reply to your suggestion I run for elected office.

Both the "Victorian" theming and the Pixar Pier ideas are both band aids for the weakest land at DLR. I just prefer the Pixar theming.

Neither is "theming."

But the land already had brands and characters slapped on it. That's not dumbing down, that's doing the exact same thing. The lipstick is already on the pig, they are just changing the shade. If they improve upon the Screamin queue and put something where Maliboomer was, then it is an improvement. The land is ugly and empty. If the land is less ugly and less empty, it's an improvement. Plus, Pixar is located in California. Nothing wrong with California being represented with a Disney twist.

Improving aesthetics does not automatically mean improving the themed experience.

Isn't Paradise Pier where they have the Captain America ride?

It was to work with the force perspective and make it seem more "in the distance". It works so well because it catches the eye and makes the guest want to walk towards it and see what's going on. The tree growth in front plays on the "abandoned" storyline as guest wonder how a building in such despair be functioning.

Yes and it's brilliant. DCA's was flat with no landscaping, whereas MGM's has hills and looks like it really is in Hollywood. DCA's wasn't even imposing, it looked dinky. Still, it was charming.

I don't feel compelled to run to WDW for the first time to see GMR or Energy before they close but I would feel compelled to rush over there if I heard the original TOT was closing.

The Great Movie Ride is totally worth it.
