Actually that’s 100% the type of garbage WDW would have pulled ten years ago. Hong Kong this, Hong Kong that. Let’s literally get into the attraction at Epcot and the video starts with our flight taking off from Hong Kong Disneyland. No one will notice, pretty explosions and such.

It’s a million times worse than Soarin’ over California. The attraction bleeds HKDL.

I think people have finally caught onto the drive that the Marvel team is very very avoidant of clones and the rides very much take place in our pseudo-real world. I know the guardians ‘hey look it’s Disneyland’ gets the feathers bristled, but the guardians aren’t summoned from their DCA meet and greet to join the fray.

It’s stupidly kitschy to the point I really dig it, but it’s soooooooooo not meant to be cloned without a complete video and queue redo.

All moot because they are not cloning the marvel attractions. IMHO that’s the greatest feature of the Marvel push: many many non-clones worldwide are coming. SW:GE is fantastic, but I wish Florida was more unique.

Yep, this is why I like the Marvel additions, they are not clones and every experience is unique. For all the complaining about clone this and clone that, this should be considered a good thing.

To be fair, Soarin' at WDW was promoted as "a gift" from Disneyland to commemorate the park's 50th anniversary when the attraction opened but that reasoning falls apart very fast.

I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment, but without knowing any details yet, we don't know if the rides will be wholly unique, or whether the parks may share ride systems and perhaps show buildings that are the same except for theming, like Dinosaur vs. Indy. I hope not, but it would be a way for them to keep development costs and time scale down while still offering "unique" experiences.

Well one thing we know for sure is that DLR vs WDW are going to have completely different attractions. We can say this because the characters that can be used in WDW are limited for now. So it should be more than just theme that is different.

Now the only question is if the GotG coaster at WDW is going to use the same coaster system as the Avengers one here at DCA. But the Spider-Man attraction is going to be wholly different than anything at WDW.

We do know Iron Man Experience, Mission Breakout, Antman’s Buzz overlay, Iron Man’s Rocking Roller coaster overlay, Guardian’s of the Energy Pavilion and Spider-Man for DCA are all unique from one another... which in and of itself is already more than we would have ever expected.

Now the E-ticket Avengers ride between HKDL, presumably WDSP and what was originally billed as a Captain America ride in DCA could all end up being the same thing. But that takes us to 7 unique attractions at a baseline. 8 once we get a Blackpanther something... that movie crossed the magic threshold synergy number.

Definitely not something Disney would do without making an active decision. Universal can’t even ditch an overlay of a kiddy coaster as part of their Harry Potter clones.

But what if they are basing the HKDL ride on Battle Escape? How would that affect DL and WDW?

I think WDSP/HKDL will be different than DCA’s for that reason. WDSP can’t do Epcot’s Guardians knockoff with being too similar to Rocking Roller Coaster, nor can it do Battle escape with that ride apparently going right next door.

DCA’s could very much be Guardian’s of Epcot Ride system though. The layout wouldn’t fit and obviously it needs to be Avengers. Hong Kong being a Battle escape type ride makes sense for that park. I think that was the rumor there.

I’d personally hazard all three of those attractions are unique from one another, but we don’t actually know enough unlike the other six upcoming ones.

Like half of those are reskins of an existing ride. Uni can keep the kiddy coaster because the big boy coaster was the much bigger problem that’s now being remedied :)

Thanks. That's very reassuring.

I was not talking about Orlando. I was talking about Osaka and Hollywood. Flying Unicorn wasn’t a clone in Orlando.

It made perfect sense to reuse the ride in Orlando. It made little sense to clone the overlay.

I don't know about that... Over at MK they are building a new in-door coaster directly next door to the only other in-door coaster in the park!
