Walt was unpredictable, to say the least. We really don't know how he would have evolved the parks over time. Epcot would have been different, that's for sure.

There is no point citing Walt outside of the context of Disneyland. Walt had one park and had long moved on when the Florida project came into being. It was a board mandate to add a Magic Kingdom/Disneyland. I hate ‘What would Walt do’... because he didn’t want to do 90% of things people and Disney credit towards him. He was loonnng dead. Including the entirety of modern WDW. Especially people’s beloved original Epcot Center, which completely craps all over what Walt had planned.

Even the Haunted Mansion was built with a sole context towards the needs and wants of New Orleans Square. Walt didn’t have ‘a vision’ of Florida’s Mansion.

It’s time we actually cite the what ____ would have wanted towards the original design leads of every park that isn’t Disneyland.

Interesting. For the longest time I remember Micechat reporting that Battle Escape was going to be the bigger building.

I had seen another article that broke down permits and costs of each thing. And Battle Escape was certainly bigger. Unsure where that user got those stats?

Found it:

Attraction #2: $55.7 million
The city permits describe a 115,000-square-foot amusement building. It houses “Attraction #2.” The exterior of the two-story building would include a tower and antennas. The attraction interior would feature at least 20 scenes, with several “A/B scenes” suggesting multiple storylines. Scene 3 calls for a prefabricated “hero engine.”
The plans also call for the installation of a $4.4 million “iconic theme prop” in front of the attraction.
All those factors suggest that “Attraction #2” could be the Millennium Falcon flight simulator ride, codenamed “Big Bird.”

Attraction #1: $77.9 million
The city permits describe a 165,000-square-foot amusement building housing “Attraction #1.” The two-story attraction interior would feature at least 18 scenes. Exterior scenic elements would feature towers and antenna arrays.
The plans also call for a prefabricated “Escape Pod” prop vehicle.
All those factors suggest that “Attraction #1” could be the Battle Escape dark ride, codenamed “Alcatraz.”
The Battle Escape dark ride will put riders in the middle of a battle in a “race against time” to aid the Resistance.

Nice find. Yeah I think that user has them switched. I find it odd that a simulator attraction building would be larger than one where we re moving around large, elaborate sets.

No, I don't think they are switch because more people will go to the MF than the Battle Escape. They have to put 4 MF ride bays in the MF building. They need alot of square feet to put the 4 MF ride bays in. For the Battle Escape, I think the ride is going to be like Alice ride.

Why did you laugh at the end of this reply? It makes me want to not go on this forum anymore.

Oh sorry. It was to just express that I didn’t notice you had mixed up the attractions, nothing meant in a harmful or malicious way. Just trying to show the light hearted nature of the post.

But yes. You did switch them. MF is a smaller building as seen via aerial footage.
