I think it's a problem with all of the theme parks in central Florida, Disney or otherwise. Yes, there are nice environments, but it's a lot of bigger attractions spread out without many experiences to discover in between.

Understandable.
I had more of an Emerald City on a mountain top in mind.LOL we already have a mountain!

Oh you're thinking about Oz. Maybe it could happen.

Because vague, loose connections make for an immersive environment?

If we are going to go on vague loose connections then the Matterhorn should be yeti free no? At least if we are going for a strictly correct environment considering how the story of the yeti originates in Nepal region and no where near the Pennine alps. Dude you try me on at least every forum I have a reason for whatever I say.

The mythology has spread, just as the Sasquatch mythology has spread. Just looking to tie in other properties only continues to lower the standing of themed entertainment as its own creative medium. As to trying you, I have no idea what you're talking about.

The mythology spread within the media not culture if we are going by your standards it makes for poor and loose theming then you could justify the same for the snow queen argument she lives in giant ice structures children know her she dwells in caverns of ice her mythology is spreading, the yeti itself was a tie in order to spice the ride up.

Well, the Matterhorn also has a basketball court, and we all know that myth originated in the U.S. So much for authenticity.

That's partially true. It's a half court, with a hoop.

The first level of MK is underground, all the tunnels and CM who work there use the first level. There is also a garbage disposal system there too. It uses a vacuum system like the one at the bank drive thru. Only bigger scale. Walt wanted a way for CM to stay in their respective lands, so as not to ruin the effects.

Snow White was not torn down FOR the meet and greet but was torn down due to the same situation over and over which I will explain here.
1. Little kid sees Snow White and wants to go on it thinking it will be a nice, happy ride.
2. Little kid gets creeped out by dark and scared by witch.
3. Little kid exits ride crying and rest of the day ruined for the poor little kid...
Snow White was basically a crying kid factory. Why did it take so long for them to take it out? Nobody knows. The meet and greet was just a space filler because the location where Snow White was is a prime location and disney can't just let it go to waste.

My kid never cried on it. I never cried on it (that I recall). My sister as a kid never cried on it. I've never witnessed hundreds of children exiting the ride crying (though I have seen some a little spooked, but not crying and out of control, just adorably spooked, just like you'll see getting off the Haunted Mansion ride.
Nice thoughts, but I just don't think that's why Disney decided to gut the ride and put in a Meet and Greet.

If this is the case, why does Disneyland still have Snow White's Scary Adventures, Pinocchio and Toad? All three have kids kicking and screaming coming off.

Not just Anaheim, but also Tokyo and Paris? Why are kids going to Orlando so fragile?

Yes, I forgot about the parks overseas, them as well. The excuse doesn't make a lick of sense.
Aren't kids afraid of Mansion? How come that still stands?
