RoA is on the chopping block again?

Martin, would you say that the proposal is on par with Maelstrom to Frozen? Also thanks for the info, let’s hope that this time they don’t back out!
There's always some spitballing concerning it. I encourage it.
I don't understand the need to make this overlay complex. (expensive) Why does Disney?

I sometimes wonder if such large budgets have prevented creative solutions and innovation. There's definitely good and bad to both sides.

Agreed with you on this. The budgets seem to be a bit out of control and then they seem to chip away ... it's a bad pattern they've found themselves in but they seem to like that pattern ...
Still I always hope they do it right and we get something great. But I also know they've let me down many many times before lol.

I don't know why people are getting so concerned about the budget of an attraction that hasn't been approved and we don't know anything about. All Marni said was that the proposal was not as simple as it first seemed. Now people seem to be getting annoyed that we might be getting more than just a basic overlay!

Maybe because it isn't needed? (and those funds could be used elsewhere)
With this attraction in particular, part of it's charm is in it's approach to design. It's simplistic. A Coco overlay, by definition should be the overlaying of that IP onto the bones of the attraction; a style already established.At what point does doing that make the attraction's budget expensive?
If Disney is looking at this as a complete gutting and replace my question would be "Why?"

I'm not sure Marni ever mentioned budgets at all, so I'm not sure why people are getting so preemptively outraged about it being so expensive. There also seems to be a good chance nothing will be spent on this!
Beyond that, I don't know why in principle Disney could never use that space for an attraction that might be more elaborate or technologically advanced than what's there right now. From a nostalgia standpoint I would miss the old sets. Beyond that, though, this is the first time I've heard a full-throated defence of cheap overlays.
My reply is directly above your post. It's just not needed in my opinion.
So that it won't become outdated?
Look at the upgrade in visual FX from Maelstrom to FEA. So, sure, they can just dress up all the dolls for a Día de los Muertos festival and have new animation for the screens in place.
OR... they can do projection mapping, top tier AAs, Haunted Mansion mirror type FX where you see yourself as a skeleton, etc...
The second way is much more expensive, but will create a ride that'll be there for the next 30 years without going stale (much like the Haunted Mansion).
If they went the cheap way, you know this forum would crucify WDW for cheaping out and calling it a Barbie playset retheme.
A ride being "outdated" has little to do with expense.

For what it's worth it, @marni1971 seemed to imply that if it actually happens, it won't be just a simple overlay, and Coco is a perfect fit for the Mexico Pavillon!
There’s several plans for the pavilion of varying sizes. At this time all are paused.For what it's worth it, @marni1971 seemed to imply that if it actually happens, it won't be just a simple overlay, and Coco is a perfect fit for the Mexico Pavillon!
