RnRC New Theme Discussion

[Amidala]

honestly I'm scared to see what the new theme is. Disney seems to be importing the rides with specific IP's and Hollywood Studios is turning into where " you'll be inside the movies"... I can imagine this ride sadly being an disney ip with a land based around it

I know you're not too enthusiastic about this (and I get that) but ironically, this sounds like the most concise & accurate explanation of what DHS's theme will be post-SWL. Makes "Disney's Hollwood/Movie/Film Adventure" make a little more sense when you put it this way.

As for Dr. Strange...I'm probably too biased to weigh in. I'm a Marvel comics fan and enjoy most of the MCU well enough, but the MCU adaptations of Dr. Strange and GOTG do nothing for me...the idea of having them in WDW (or really any Marvel properties) is hard for me to wrap my mind around. That being said, Dr. Strange did do meet-and-greets at DHS, so I guess there's precedent for it.

Big Bang is a terrible idea for an attraction.. I’m happy they’re not doing that

I dunno, the history of the universe and life on Earth could be a great attraction for Epcot. Perfect compliment to Spaceship Earth and Mission Space.

Blue paint does not necessarily mean there are any changes happening to the ride.

OR, it means AVATAR expansion.

Interestingly enough, all of the large square Soundstage number signs on the gravity building have finally come down after painting has nearly been completed, leaving large unpainted square areas.

but why?

Obviously they are fixing some of the sightline issues for the upcoming projects. Most of the show buildings on property are painted either "Go Away Green" (Dinosaur, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Small World) or this color blue (Soarin'). One would imagine the other show buildings that are within sightline will similarly be repainted. There's a few exceptions to these colors based on surrounding areas.

RnR and ToT are in no need of any changes - both are hugely popular and successful. For me the time and money would be far better spent elsewhere.

I can't like this post enough. It may be in the running for best post ever.

I'd say Rock 'n' Rollercoaster is an intergal attraction because it adds to the stardom and glamour aspect of DHS, which resonates powerfully with guests. Most kids and even adults have this inner desire to be famous. It's a natural part of us.

This was so successful after DHS and Universal were built that it began to infiltrate the other parks, and it eventually became too much and too cheap. In fact it's kind of similar to the situation today, where movie world stuff is infiltrating the other parks, and it'll eventually become too much and too cheap. There are already signs.

But everything is good in the right place in the right amount.
