This potential project came up in yesterday's press conference thread. Amid specualtion before the event, Lee had mentioned something else may or may not be announced. As we all know, nothing "extra" was announced. I feel though this potential attraction deserves its own thread. Lee alluded that this may be a fanboy earth shatterer, not sure it if it would be positive or negative one though. There are a couple things we can presume from Lee's statement though. Project Z would be in MK and it would not be in Tomorrowland or Fantasyland. This really leaves Frontierland or Adventureland. I would personally think Frontierland for one because there was was smoke over the summer on a rumored expansion. Two, Lee hinted this would be a bombshell, and SeaCastle predicted WRE. I doubt we would see the true WRE but maybe a newly developed version? Another thing I am not too sure about is Raven's comments. She had mentioned changes changes to an attraction near the Tiki Room, not sure if her and Lee's project's are the same. Juan had also said that he saw many things when he had his viewing FLE 2.0 months ago; perhaps this is one of those things? With yesterday's, finally worthy, FLE 2.0, perhaps we have some more, even bigger and better, things happening the Magic Kingdom. Thoughts on Project Z?

Ps. Let's not turn this thread into a begging Lee for info thread. He had always been good on his info and he was most assuredly tell when he knows something concrete.

If I'm not mistaken, when asked, Lee said the project would not be in Frontierland, thus throwing my WRE thesis out the window.

Also, just because concept art exists or a project is proposed does not mean that it is happening. Only a small percentage of plans ever wind up being constructed. Raven mentioned that he saw concept art for an active project, though the "Project Z" is greenlit already

Remember, we are in a bunch of, dozens, maybe hundreds, tops, that knew about that--or cared to obsess over it.

OK, so even if it's thousands. It's a small number, compared to the mainstream media and visitors to WDW.

So--it's not Disney's fault that we managed to find out about this before they said it! Hey--what they announced was great, not a letdown!

I'm just sayin'. Yeah, Juan and Raven and Lee got me all het up with their talk of something else. But when it didn't happen I can't say I'm disappointed--just that I'm looking forward to more hints, and more announcements in the future.

I agree Atomic, the announcements weren't really a letdown. I should re-phrase and should just say expected. I am thrilled with FLE and can't wait to see it.

It's just now that this last wave of rumors have finally been confirmed, my fanboi mentality can't wait for the next rumour to start.

So, I guess we have to see what projects are being planned for Shanghai and then try to shoehorn them into MK.

Well, all fanboys want something major in each park. So, it it's not MK than it could be ANYTHING.

Beastly Kingdom
Epcot Re-vamp
DHS additions...

it's endless.

My thoughts on Project Z:

--Indy Forbidden Eye clone, or all new Indiana Jones ride/area/land--this would be the fanboy dream that I think Lee was talking about.

--A sit down dining/show experience. This could be either,

a) a Pirates restaurant
b) an Adventurer's club inspired restaurant

I'm leaning towards dining/entertainment experience. Why?

I think that interactive dining is going to be a new wave of entertainment at WDW, starting with Beauty and the Beast. Like them or not, the Rainforest Cafe/T. Rex Cafe model is HUGELY profitable. I think Disney is going to co-opt some of that style of dining for it's new experiences.
Think solidly themed environment--that has changing, interactive elements, and perhaps character shows--either face characters, costumes, or Animatronics.

We are seeing these experiences happening on the new cruise ship as well.

So--you combine dining with entertainment--and add merchandise that goes with it, and you have a one, two, three punch.

Why do I say "Adventurer's club inspired?" For a couple reasons. Timeless theme that can go with whatever they add to Adventureland, BUT, and this is a big BUT . . . no Alcohol in the Magic Kingdom.

Either way--you can bet they're trying to come up with a response to ButterBeer, be it Pirate Punch or an alcohol free Kungaloosh-something.

I'm just musing here! Just getting the ball rolling.

I read on another site that Pirates of the Carribean was getting a restaurant...maybe this is the news!?

Well the issue is that I saw a LOT, but the timelines aren't there. So something I saw maybe a year, 5, or 10 years aways. (Heck it could even be scrapped by then).
Now that the new FLE is announced, there's only a couple more things happening at WDW that I know about, but I know more at other Disney parks around the globe.

Sorry for being slightly off topic but do you know if anything is happening soon to DLP? :wave:

Project Z... the zombification of MK? :eek:

My guess?

Adventureland overhal into a Pirates land.

-Removal of Swiss Robinson (fanboy earth sharterer)
-JC redo
-Removal of Aladin (to place as the other new Dumbo)
-New restaurant

Matches what Raven, Lee, and others have said so far. And depending on how detail it is, I think I'm for it....

They are using two new spinners for Dumbo.

I wouldn't mind seeing Aladdin removed completely, that area has felt cluttered ever since it was put in place. Why not just move the Jungle Cruise to Animal Kingdom and build a flying carpet ride for Aladdin in its place? That would solve two problems right there!

Wait, I'm confused about the phrase "earth shatterer." I would think this means fanboys would love this new project. That's the connotation, right? Or does it mean that fanboys will hate it?

I'm taking it as that it means a long time attraction is being removed.
