DHS, you mean the park with a land called Pixar Place that has the least amount of Pixar attractions of any Disney park in the world? That park? No, it doesn't fit there.

Are we really arguing over the Pixar Place that is going to become backstage when TSL opens? Rat wouldn't fit in there (I'm talking physically not thematically).

I wasn't sure when you said there would be no DIS shares without theme park guests.

Sorry, I shouldn't have been snarky though. I guess I just assumed you were; I do know the theme parks are just a part of the overall Disney name/brand, was just going off of the poster and what they were saying. No harm?

It still applies as all aspects of their business involve selling to potential customers. If they stop buying, Disney stops existing and stockholders (the smart ones) abandon ship with profit.

Yes it does. I will absolutely applaud them for finally doing things at WDW but let's not also forget that it's been long overdue and past time. They're more or less being forced into all of this, no?

Except a few that fit better elsewhere like Nemo and Bug's Life.

Bug's Life I'll give you, but Nemo? Right now it's shoehorned into Epcot as a Fantasyland style ride that's remarkably out of place. Then over at DAK it's in no man's land/Dinoland USA.

Even then, I'd like to see Pixar attractions in the other parks relocated or just close and be reimagined for DHS. It's not happening, but it's what I'd like to see.

Eh, I don't know that Nemo is "out of place" so to speak, though I know why it's seen that way (it's shoehorned, yes, in the fact that it's an IP used as a quick fix). Would I prefer an original attraction without Nemo? Of course I would. But my bigger issue is that it's a book report/"Where's Nemo" type of attraction. They could have done better using Nemo. It could have worked. Characters aren't always a bad thing, IMO. It's how they use them that's the ultimate problem. (But I also don't think they "need" them, but they do and a good amount of people want characters; there should be a better balance/better use of them).

I'd have preferred they put Nemo in a pavilion at Animal Kingdom (if we're putting Nemo only there or Epcot) with Crush's Coaster (or a slow-moving dark ride) and the theater show, like they did with Mermaid in Tokyo DisneySea. Turtle Talk with Crush feels more out of place to me.

The fact is we're stuck with characters in Epcot. I'm just trying to look for better ways they could be used and implemented. I'd naturally prefer it to be pure but it is what it is at this point. It's why I've grudgingly accepted Rat, it's the lesser 'problem' between it and B&TB going into France.

But I'm also a fan of the Pixar Place idea. It's something I've wanted too. Similar to what Paris did with Rat/Crush/Cars(though not that attraction, LOL)/Toy Story. An area dedicated to these rides with unique homes for them. Like Fantasyland. (But I'm also with you in that I want Small World and Carousel of Progress in Epcot).

I don't mind 'bug' in the Tree of Life, I get it, but I'd also prefer something unique and original in that case. It's the attraction in your park icon. It should be something that ties the park together.

It's kind of ironic how AK, Epcot and DHS (for now; ugh) have their park icons featuring rides/attractions that tie the park together (mostly) but the MK has a restaurant, yet the other castles have an actual attraction inside. Yeah it's cool to eat in the castle but I'd prefer a walkthrough at least. Anyway ... rambling

Not in DinoLand but the Nemo show does work for the park as a whole.

I didn't say it worked at Epcot.

As long as we get another ride in WS I don't care which theme they go with. But after watching videos online of Rat, the ride doesn't look too groundbreaking or something I'm dying to get over here in the states, it looks OK, but bottom line is we need more rides of any kind at EPCOT.

Videos do not do Remy justice.

It immerses you incredibly well, and the animation is brilliant.

Nemo is out of place in Epcot. The ride exists in the world of Finding Nemo and does nothing to bring guests into reality other than project cartoons in a fish tank. Elsewhere in the pavilion the characters are used a bit better, but Nemo going into Future World was really the sign that they Iger and Co don't understand EPCOT.
