Alrighty team! I've got the entire doc created and just about ready for posting.

I'd like to ask all of you, if you can, to look over your respective sections and let me know if there's anything missing/wrong. After this, I'm ready to post early if everyone else is ok with it!


Also, @JokersWild , should the final post be in this thread or the main thread? I'm thinking main thread but just want to double check!
Just starting two things I'd add/change
- Change Team Danny DiVito to Team Danny DeVito from Dumbo
- Either include a map (which I can make incredibly quickly) or at least something describing where each ride is located.

The map looks amazing! If you want, I can help you with the where are they now conclusion
Great I already wrote Dumbo, tell me which of the two remaining you want to write for and I'll write the one you don't choose.

What happened next?
Dumbo's Frightening Flight remained the same for the park's first 25 years other than the facade being changed to change the 70's-eque font on the ride's sign to more of a turn of the century Circus style and adding a statue of Timothy Q. Mouse holding the magic feather (a clone of the statue of Timothy seen on Dumbo's Flying Elephants at Disneyland). In 1997, the ride was heavily modified to tone down the scary elements (including removing the Ringmaster's antagonist role), giving Timothy Q. Mouse a physical presence in the ride for the first time, and a new finale based on the movie.

I’ll do 101 Dalmatians, if you don’t mind. 😁

The Wild Dalmatian Escape was a big hit, it’s chaotic nature filled guests with joy for nearly 50 years. However it wasn’t without hurdles, on October 22, 1997, Disney announced plans to replace the attraction with The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Fortunately, those plans felt through before the attraction closed due to management listening to the guests’ requests to keep the beloved ride in its place. The budget intended for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was instead allocated to bringing new life to The Wild Dalmatian Escape by updating the Animatronics and the ride technology. Nevertheless, the attraction ultimately closed in Summer 2019 to be repurposed into an attraction inspired by the upcoming movie based on the iconic villain from 101 Dalmatians: Cruella. Cruella’s Fashion Heist opened in October 1, 2021 for the The Walt Disney World Resort 50th Anniversary Celebration.​
