Doesn't the DuckTales reboot focus more on Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Mabel... I mean, Webby... than Scrooge anyway?

I feel the same way. They look to be two different experiences visually. I’d LOVE a DuckTales ride (it’s arguably one of my most wanted attractions), but not at the expense of another beloved dark ride.

Why can’t they just build it as a new ride? These types of dark rides are what I’ve been wanting out of Disney for twenty years.
Economical and charming.

All of toontown? Or that little corner?

That corner. I believe Mickey and the gang were to live in the suburbs of Duckberg. Imagine a Darkwing Duck ride.

I am surprised Ducktales never got a ride somewhere. It lends itself to a dark ride treatment so easily.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of my favorite movies of all time and somehow also the attraction we ride least in the entire park. It kind of died to me when they put Jessica in the trench coat. In fact, I have not been on it since they did that. Not that I rode it a ton before either due to its location, wait time and position on the priority list. If they were to close it I’d miss the queue more than anything. The attraction never really captured what I love about the movie. With all of that said I’m about 99% sure whatever replaces it would not be better. Including Ducktales 2.0.

So you were never really a fan of RRCTS? It's not amazing, and I wouldn't argue that it's super important or anything, but I would be a little sad if I ripped it out.
Jessica in a trenchcoat is stupid, but is far less of an intrusion on everything else than, say, Auction Scene 2.0 IMO.

I’d be a little sad too but it’s on a short list of things at DL that they could remove that wouldn’t have me outraged. The outrage instead would take place when I see what they replaced it with.

Jessica Rabbit wearing an idiotic trench coat is the perfect monument to today’s pandering, embarrassing Disney.

Yeah I can’t do it. It’s just too in your face. It was already low on the priority list. That killed it for me.

It's a far better ride than Mickey and Minnie's- I think it's location is what holds it back. I forget about Toontown half the time I'm at Disneyland.

That and the poor capacity. The queue is great but I won't wait any longer than 15 minutes for it as the line just moves painfully slow.

I didn’t really end up enjoying Roger Rabbit. It’s got a neat queue but it feels oddly charmless for such a charming IP to be modeled off. The spinning mechanic isn’t all that fun, and the scenery isn’t all that well crafted.
I walked away feeling it was the worst dark ride in the park.

You have to really crank the steering wheel, and then it spins like crazy. When my nephews were younger, they would fight over who got to ride with me. Because they knew, with my killer tennis arms, that I could crank that wheel and really get us spinning. And you can't just get it going and then relax, like the Teacups, you have to work at it constantly.
But when you know, you know.
Exactly. That was one of the first glaring examples post 2020 that the parks were suddenly being run by an HR Committee and several spineless (or... ahem) execs who are clearly idiots. It's been downhill since then, and shows no sign of correcting.
I am fine with or even support most of the sensitivity changes Disney has made, but the Roger Rabbit change feels different. It oddly feels out of line with the push for Recognizable IP above all else that ww associate with modern Disney Parks because I would argue that the image of Jessica Rabbit in the red dress is the part of Roger Rabbit that has most stuck in the public consciousness. Every Halloween I see many young women dressed up as Jessica even though most of them these days weren't alive when the film came out. So giving her a more prominent 'heroic' part in the attraction makes sense but taking her out of her iconic look, I would argue, does not.
Still love the ride though!
A Ducktales ride sounds great, but not at Roger's expense.

I don’t think putting Jessica Rabbit in a trench coat was really needed at all for the exact reason stated above: it is accepted iconography.
However, they absolutely should continue to address sensitivity issues in the parks. That doesn’t need to go away.
I just don’t think Jessica Rabbit was an actual sensitivity issue. It was anticipation of one that wasn’t there when there’s plenty of other stuff even in the nearby area at Disneyland that needs some addressing.
