You'll never expand if you only re-theme.

Expansion is bad. That might reduce crowding.

Two weeks later and Lasseter’s Lair still hasn’t had its neon lighting installed. Good work team!

Whoever wrote that was snorting way too much pixie dust. The title alone was enough to give me a laugh.

Also, "special effects" on the Incredicoaster? Hahahaha no. Giant static figures and babies on poles are not "special effects". Goodness.

To be fair, static mannequins can be extremely charming when done right.

I think they put the Jack Jacks on a stick because it fits in with the theme of the movie...

lol

The impaled baby heads look hideous!!!

I paid $10 for 3 chicken legs and coleslaw. It was not worth it at all. The chicken was dry and didn't have a lot of flavor.

It's like Disney is S L O W L Y ripping off the bandaid over the coarse of 1-2 years and the more of the wound that is exposed, the more you know you've got a problem that is going to require lots of medical attention.

Brilliant

With Incredibles 2 now the highest grossing animated feature of all time, do we look at the Incredicoaster in the same vein as the Maelstrom to Frozen redo at Epcot? I sure do.

An absolute missed opportunity to build a quality attraction from the ground up that would promote the franchise in a logical manner instead of forcing it in where it doesn't belong.

Disney doesn't like dark rides anymore. They're too expensive to air condition.

I seem to recall that 2 of the 4 rides recently opened are dark rides (Pandora) and the next 5 under construction are as well (both SWLs, Rat, Tron, and GofG. But if you ignore those, I guess you have a point.

What’s even worse is Disney’s willingness to take an already lazy retheme of an attraction that existed in only one park worldwide and duplicate it elsewhere in the world. Frozen Ever After is being duplicated in Asia.. so they’re actually building the Maelstrom track/ride system in another park and using it as a Frozen attraction. And there are rumors of Rock N Roller Coaster at DHS getting an identical Incredicoaster retheme as Screamin did. Truly unbelievable

Only RoL, Rat, and Alcatraz are dark rides. The others are simulators or coasters, which aren’t what people are referring to when they talk about dark rides.

I've heard the new Frozen attractions will differ from the Norway version.

While the HKDL and WDS Frozen rides will be similar to FEA, they are not building the Maelstrom ride system anywhere else. The new Pirates ride system is easier to duplicate and far more versatile while offering higher capacity.

They have said they are cloning the Maelstrom ride system and the scenes are going to be almost identical

if it was broken during shipment or install im sure they dint just have replacement hanging around. Im sure neon takes a while to create and replace

Who said that?

I wouldn't think it was true. The Frozen ride was slapped together using an existing 80s EPCOT Center boat ride for some reason. More than likely the loose thematic connection and some Disney exec riding it and wondering why there's a weird boat ride with trolls and a polar bear that isn't themed to Frozen and selling dolls instead of charming weird Norwegian trinkets in the gift shop. Frozen doesn't even have a boat scene as I recall. It seems highly unlikely they'd clone it.

No, because this is still being focused on box office, and not story, which is the same faulty thinking that leads to Frozen Ever After and the Incredicoaster.
