Aha! So I’m not nuts, See, you notice what I notice. Truth be told, my theory is the ‘initial’ plan was to transform the ride’s theme strictly to tie-in to the recent CG series aimed at preschoolers of Chip n Dale, hence the strange unnecessary rename also. (We ‘all’ know how that is with WDI now in strictly tieing things into recent IP rather than classic or fully original concepts these days) Another faction of Imagineers , was like, ‘nah, this is supposed to appeal to all ages & be a tribute to ‘all’ toons through the years. So they pushed to keep Rescue Rangers theming & succeeded despite pushback from another faction that was trying to be rid of it all (& truth be told, why shouldn’t they keep the RR theme? Not only are views of the original show probably high on Disney + but they just came out with a movie that did super well on top of that). This is why you have 2 clashing visions mixed together in an odd/inconsistent way… You’d think they’d just put Chip ‘n Dale in their Rescue Rangers outfits considering Gadget & Zipper’s appearances. (Oddly missing Monterey Jack too I ought to mention). But yeah, as I said before.. those confusing choices that stick out like a sore thumb (mainly the plans to make things tied into older properties that have longer/larger age appeal into newer ones aimed ‘strictly’ towards preschoolers) in a land that ‘should’ be focused on being a tribute to classic toons (that appeal to all ages as opposed to strictly kids) are thanks to the problematic faction of WDI/Disney corporate that doesn’t have long-lasting/timeless legacy in mind pushing against the faction that actually ‘does’ care and wants it to be as wide appealing & tasteful/thematically consistent as possible. Thanks
