So much time, effort and money spent to try to dress up a cheap, tiny recycled kiddie spinner. All surface flash and no substance: It's like a tribute to DCA 1.0. The best part is the sign: It looks like Joy is trying her best to make lemonade out of lemons, while Sadness is just depressed about being part of such a lame project.
Now, that's a perfect fit for that corner of Pixar Pier! Of course, however, the Parachute drop idea makes sense, would be a crowd-pleaser and costs more money than recycling Flik's Flyers, so of course Disney didn't do this. We'd probably end up with two tower rides, as Disney's too cheap to replace the awful Jumpin' Jellyfish, but that's better than having three dangle-and-fly-in-a-circle rides right next to each other like we have now...Bring back the Maliboomer! or even better a parachute drop like Knott's use to have. Theme it to the green army men from TS if you must.
This but forty stories tall!!
Now, don't get me wrong, I love all the GOOD things in Disneyland (mostly created by previous generations of Imagineers) and enjoy the good parts of DCA as a sort of "bonus" add-on to a parkhopper day. When Disney's done something right, no other park can touch them as far as family-friendly quality adventure rides. Universal's catching up. But, yeah, when Busch Gardens, Dollywood and Holiday World seem to understand the basics of good park design and Disney can't get the most elementary things right (and spends waaaaaay more in the process).... something's wonky in Mouse Town.
but Rich! how else could the famed Disney Imagineers build a theme park without a month-long research trip to the white sands of Cancun?
Nope. Wrong. It is what Batuu should have been if they were going to create a new location. It honors everything that is Indy. We get to go on an advenure while Indy is having his own. We see Indy. Your comparison would only work if there was a Shia MUTT WILLIAMS AA instead of Indy while still calling it the Indiana Jones Adventure and not using John Williams score. Nice try but try harder. You are better than this.
nostalgia is one heck of a blinder, eh?
Now if only MC had an Ignore feature years we'd all still be over there. Imagine how peaceful those threads would have been if we had ignore....
My posts are quality.
It would have been better than their point system where random people can ban you for disagreeing with them.
Is that what you call it, when you pay $40 a pop for take a lunch and get preferred viewing for a parade. Then you end up with a $40 KFC meal, no place to actually eat it, and the preferred viewing section was put up just before the parade, but then all the Johnny come latelys then just ignore the special roped off space and try to crowd in on you. Then you have to get a CM, because they didn't even pay for the upgrade.
