I literally brought this very point up like 6 months ago and was treated like a malcontent, bad-faith actor and not, you know, someone stating an objective fact.
I would sort of like both version of the attraction to be different from each other, the carbon copies in every new park or new iteration is tiresome. Like give me a REASON to want to go to a different park.
The last part is "right" but the former not so much. Park the bulldozers and fix the perception the ride generates or doesn't as the case may be but no reason to replace when you can add.
I 100% agree. That's what I have said from the start. I've just given up on Disney coming to their senses. They aren't interested in adding capacity, so the least they can do is give the ride a proper build.
At least Tokyos work as intended.
I don’t mind carbon copies as I’ve only ever been to WDW, and if I do ever make it to another resort, it would be infrequent enough that there would be plenty new to do. (And I am confident that this rings true for the vast majority of Disney guests).I literally brought this very point up like 6 months ago and was treated like a malcontent, bad-faith actor and not, you know, someone stating an objective fact.
if frozen ever after is any inclination....lets hope not.....it was like they spent all the budget on the first scene/expanded track, and then on the second level its barren/empty at best. I hope that does not happen here with this, flat blank walls till you get to the next scene or hidden by curtains. My main problem with this project, theme being bad or good aside, is the fact they are removing a Magic Kingdom icon and one of the iconic mountain ranges and turning it into just a river. The park will be down to two mountains, no longer 3. Its like were going backwards. They dont want anything in these parks any longer that hold any kind of memories for people. Nothing is safe.
"you now float through a barren dark room until you get to the next show scene" - ah, you've ridden DL Pirates.
I believe with FEA, they were just shoehorning a quick overlay into an unpopular ride to capitalize on Frozen's popularity. With Splash, It's an extremely popular ride already. To replace it, It has to be as good or better. On top of that, first ride for a black princess. They can not mess this up.
They took 2 years to build it three years after the movie came out....
2 years is a quick overlay by Disney standards. 3 years after the movie came out, Frozen was still wildly popular.
Certainly not a knee-jerk to the success of the movie more like they got tired of people asking where's Elsa.
How can you replace something and make it better when its in glory it was already perfect and arguably one of the best all around attractions in Florida that had everything? They let the ride rot to make the comparisons look better and last i checked its the same ride just an overlay… you really going to find something more catchy that singing Zippie Doo Da? Had any insiders here a potential of using the PotC tech for this new ride?
Put the movie characters in the movie park? Movie characters like Snow White, Peter Pan, Ariel, Belle and the Beast, Pooh, and Cinderella? Boy, it’s a good thing they don’t have any rides or restaurants in the Magic Kingdom.
It would ruin the magic for me if I saw Simba in Animal Kingdom. Thank god we have a movie park to put the movies in!
