The Dawn of a New Era for Disneyland

I coulda sworn it was under the tracks... I thought I even saw a sign or a plaque or something, but I guess I was wrong.

The split of the different portals, or lands, comes at the hub and not under the train tracks. I would also agree that your interpretation of the lands is based on how they currently are and not how they were originally designed.

Any truth to the replacement of IASW?

Have too much Irish Coffee this morning?

Definitely. Just makes you wonder what could have been, and what direction the park would be headed now had Mr. Baxter been given more control.

I'm a fan of balance between the creatives and the accountants. I don't think either side having definitive say over the other is especially healthy in the long run.

I think I'm firmly in the minority here, but I think the overall amount of capital investment Iger has put into the parks in the last decade is pretty reasonable.

The cuts to labor bother me a lot more than the ones to WDI.

And veiled.

If it fits so well and harmoniously with the rest of the park, why do they have to hide it away?

I read it on Micechat. I highly doubt it. Moving IASW to tDL makes even less sense. Idk really

Yeah, I disagree. It is different than anything that has come before, but phrases like "throws it out the window" implies that the rest of Disneyland is ruined. It's complementary to Disneyland, harmonious.

I agree.

You might be interested in watching this presentation given by a couple of Imagineers who discuss how the organization's storytelling tactics have evolved since before the opening of Disneyland. I found this video fascinating.

No. Apparently there was a question on a recent survey asking about intentions to ride It's A Small World and first Jim Hill ran with it on his podcast and now Miceclickbait is running a story. From what I understand, they asked about several attractions and not just IASW. Nothing to see here, move along.

 

[Darkbeer1]

Ok, let's look at "iasw".

1. Large Hourly capacity.

2. Usually has a decent to long queue.

3. Cheap to Operate and maintain.

4. Not a large footprint.

Why get rid of it?

Now, being added to a survey. More than likely a benchmark, so TDA can see what gets higher and lower scores than small world.

Worth noting, that plaque wasn't put there until the '60s. But that plaque also isn't saying 'as soon as you walk under this, you're experiencing yesterday tomorrow fantasy all at the same time'. It's simply saying that within the realm you're about to experience, you're going to encounter those distinct elements: yesterday, tomorrow, fantasy. And I guess now Star Wars.

Those last three words are redundant if you've already listed the previous distinct elements.

And, a beloved fan favorite. An attraction Walt oversaw. And an iconic staple of Disneyland's sightlines. A beloved Holiday overlay. And an extra area to project the firework shows onto.

Yeah, it's not going anywhere.

They already changed it.

Them getting rid of IASW would be unforgivable and it would be enough for me to write Disneyland off. Not because it’s my favorite ride or even in my Top 20 but because of what the attraction represents and what removing it would represent.

EDIT: ok it’s probably in my Top 20 but all the way in the high teens.

If Shelly Valladolid has her way it would be “Here you leave today and enter the world of Yesterday, Tomorrow, Fantasy, Star Wars and more Star Wars.”

In the comment section she mentioned wishing that Disney would basically turn all of TL all the way to the motorboat Cruise into another Star Wars land based on the original trilogy. I threw up in my mouth.

Also is anyone editing these Micechat articles before they get posted? Not for grammar but for the content.

Oh my gosh. I just went and read that article. I can't tell if the authoress is just desperate for clicks in a post-Star Wars opening world, or if she has serious deficiencies in knowing how basic journalism standards work. I have to assume that it's a combination of those two things.

And I'm reminded why I stopped regularly visiting that website several years ago. It seems to be getting worse, if that article is any indication.

I'm amused by their lack of Miceage updates during what Dusty has called "the busiest time in Disneyland's history" and that "he's never had to cover so much material in such a short period of time".

You'd think in this period of expansion- a relatively new park president, a brand new land, a new land being built, and a new attraction coming- there's be credible and interesting rumors flowing.

This should be a new golden age for Micechat, instead they're giving ridiculous rumor updates and parroting news after it's been reported elsewhere- oftentimes literally getting their news from the Parks Blog.
