Escape a burning town via a massive drop! That was part of the original plan. There’s no reason not to build WRE. If you review Marc Davis’ designs, very few of the jokes were racially insensitive, and they could easily be swapped today. The caricatures would’ve been on the same level as POTC, and would’ve been consistently applied to all humans anyway. WRE would actually make sense here.
But it’s not “Disney”!
I hope so, otherwise it's just Princess and the alligator. And that just doesn't have the same ring to it. Lol
So if it takes place after the film, you’d have...
People were upset that the center attraction of the new land was an elaborate meet and greet house. Also the company bought Marvel and Star Wars and has achieved greater balance.
I don’t disagree. It is what it is though like a sunk cost at this point. I’d still rather see something really well done vs cheap and lazy or just a closed attraction.
I have never heard any Disney fan complain about Snow White or Alice or Cinderella in Fantasyland? Classic, female lead movie IP attractions are not an issue in themselves, but a widely loved classic staple of Fantasylands.
Why yes, better a good PatF ride than a bad one. But even better yet would have been the best possible ride for this location.
I think that’s off topic for this thread. The attraction itself if done right can still be really, really good. The ride system won’t change so the length of the ride won’t change either I would assume. That’s a lot of time and space to tell a really good story. I like that it’s not going to be a story book type ride that just rehashes the story of the source movie. They can be creative and tell a story thats original. It’s a blank slate. Those types of rides have the most potential and also the highest risks. Here’s the hoping they hit a home run.
Yes I feel the same way!
Agree with this. After looking at the maps it would be a rather large New Orleans Square area If they went all the way down to PoTC. I do think they could just start with the area right next to Splash and have that be the transition back to New Orleans Square. They could ramp up to a Pedestrian train bridge for the transition. Then the Splash show building would be a fake facade looking like a New Orleans style town and the backstage building on the other side of the street could be used for a restaurant or theater for a show. Then have the street end in the queue for Splash. They could also build a transition by the queue back to Frontierland and the train station too.
A New Orleans-focused mine train would have to be a submarine ride.
