...yeah...always that carrot to dangle over the head of the Glendale Creative Campus...
But I don’t see it being built unless avatar sequels are a amass success - like solo - and they get a lot more foot in DAM

New ride ? Easy! It'll be an Omni Mover parading guests across a large swath of ATM's so they can have sufficient cash for new experiences!

That list does absolutely nothing for Disney parks. Not really at all.
But the deal wasn’t at all about parks...only about streaming.

But always...most assume disney wants to build new rides. Which is actually the opposite...they use new rides as a tool, a business tactic...not to let “art run wild”

Yeah, but facts, reasoning, and logic have no place here.
Now bring on FernGully 2: The Magical Rescue! The world's tallest and fastest giga coaster!
I'm guessing it'll fit in the park somewhere next to Spider-Man Land (which doesn't open until Universal hands over all the Marvel theme-park rights to Disney next spring).

I am uneasy about this if Disney starts putting in mega roller coasters instead of detailed family rides with a quality theme and story. Consider the studios already has tower of terror, aerosmith, the new Star War land being built which will have a thrill simulator ride, Star tours, and now a Fern gully roller coaster? I have no issue with thrill rides in particular, but see Magic Kingdom in how to balance them out with quality family rides suitable for all ages of riders. Could Disney do more with the Fern gully story than just a steel roller coaster that looks to have little theme to go with it?

Walt Disney’s also the guy who had to be coaxed into making the Matterhorn a roller coaster so that there’d be some return on investment on redecorating an ugly Skway beam. Space Mountain was only seriously considered due to the possibilities of what they could project on the walls. Mr. Toads Wild Ride and Casey Jr. were both seriously considered as roller coasters, as he wanted Disneyland to be a family park with nobody left behind on a bench waiting for their party to be back.
Disney is doubling down on 'family friendly.' You won't see big thrill coasters at WDW.

Well... darn.
And here I thought I had the makings of a good imagineer in the future.
I'd like to see" "DodgeBall - The Ride".....if you can dodge a wrench.......then...........
Imagine the ride system.
Or..possibly the Idiocracy Pavilion at EPCOT. Equipped with President Camacho and all.

Disney's focus on attractions right now is to build franchise and brand awareness. With that in mind, the only Fox properties that really fit in a theme park context are Avatar (already done), Planet of the Apes, Ice Age, Night at the Museum and Alien (which just got removed from DHS).

Though we are talking about the company that thinks that putting Guardians of the Galaxy in EPCOT and TRON in the Magic Kingdom makes sense... so you never know.
