The Frozen 'Initiative' ...
- Thread starter WDW1974
- Start date
Not at DCA.
You do know that I believe fanbois who blather on about ridiculous things like this should be sent to Gaza, right?
Talking DCA. And Frozen is huge in Anaheim (and globally). It's not just a O-Town phenomenon.
And while WDW is certainly a greater international tourist destination, you're falling into the fallacy that DLR is a locals park. DL/DCA are HUGE international destinations.

You aren't the only one. The property bubble in China is troubling to a lot of people around the world. Shanghai Disneyland and Disney's financial exposure because of it could be a drop in the bucket compared to what the bubble will do to the global economy when it pops.
And bubbles always pop. Even for Communists.
I bridged this thread to discuss what Disney was doing with Frozen globally. Most of my discussions are big picture stuff because WDW doesn't exist in a bubble (even if some of its visitors live in them). I wasn't going to start five different threads.
I do think the majority of confusion and forum angst on this site could be avoided on ANY thread if people just read the first 2-3 pages of any thread (maybe 4-5 if it is a long one) before joining in. People would know exactly what was being discussed.

Shh! Let 'em think that. It will keep them away from the "little locals-only park" and lower the traffic on Harbor Blvd.
And yeah, Frozen isn't nearly as big at Disneyland as it is in Orlando. That's why they are transforming Disney 365 into a Frozen exclusive makeover pavilion, shoehorning ice skating and sing-along shows into the Hollywoodland backlot in a panic, and why this is what you find at the end of Main Street USA every morning as the Frozen meet n' greet line begins to snake into Fantasyland.
Frozen Wait Time - 3 Hours (That can't be right, the Castle is so small! And why are people talking in foreign languages?!)
Forget about the tiny Castle and the foreigners, where the heck are all the ECV's?!?

I totally agree with this. The post you made was clearly about the global implications of the attraction(s), if you can call them that. It's easy for folks to assume we're discussing only WDW, but that is not what this thread was about, and was barely mentioned at all until you addressed it a few pages into the thread.
The only question I have, which you may or may not be able to answer, is are these cheaply put together, rushed "attractions" going to be placeholders until a fully developed and funded set of real attractions are designed and built, or is this currently the only plan to integrate Frozen into the global parks?

+1... well not opening but Jan 2016, no desire to go anywhere for an actual opening.
But my assumption that it would inevitably be delayed is panning out. Guess it's back to a May/June graduation trip. I assume that's a safe bet, can't see it being more than 6 months delayed no matter how dire the situation. If it is then no Shanghai Disney for me.

And what are all those trees doing in the hub?!?!?! They ruin the view of the castle!!!!!!!!!Shh! Let 'em think that. It will keep them away from the "little locals-only park" and lower the traffic on Harbor Blvd.

In fact we went to the Erie county fair outside of Buffalo, NY this year and they in fact did have an Anna & Elsa M&G. And let me tell you...they looked 1000x better (more like the characters) than any of the pictures I have seen of the "real" ones at MK.

Nice to hear about them going with bigger plans for Star Wars at DL, does this carry over to the park soon to be formerly known as DHS as well? About Marvel, I feel like they're being lazy with its implementation in the parks. An Iron Man ride in HKDL that's basically their version of Star Tours and now a rumored makeover of Paris's RnRC and a clone of that for DCA. Can they not come up with something better?

Funny thing, I got a comment in on the Disney Parks Blog this afternoon mentioning the new MiceAge Update rumors of Frozen coming to DCA's Hollywoodland for Christmas. http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...nsformations-coming-to-the-disneyland-resort/
Either they are playing along and have a decent sense of humor in TDA, or they are outsourcing the moderation of that blog.

Are we really in a huff about this again? Pretty easy to just avoid the thread if it bothers you that much. I'm a Disneyland local who comes here for both WDW and DL news and there are a billion threads that are pretty much specific to WDW. And quite honestly, if you come to a @WDW1974 thread you pretty much know that either right from the start or somewhere along the way, the topic will cover many different things. Many which have nothing to do with Disney or their theme parks. He addressed the rationale for posting it here, not sure why people continue to beat the dead horse.
Maybe it would make everyone happy if there was just a WDW1974 sub-forum where he could post whatever he wanted without offending the WDW only fanbois?

You are pretty much 100% misinterpreting what I am in a huff about. I'm not in a huff that we're so often hearing about parks other than WDW, but that we seem to be only hearing about those parks and nothing great about WDW. I'm not speaking for anyone else but me. I just wish to hear news about WDW once in a while...well good news that is, not just the this and that attraction are shutting down as of this and that date with no real info on anything at all replacing them other than speculation.

I think this is going to end up being on the catastrophic side of things. I know very little about this, but what little I do leads me to believe this kind of artificial economy building, on this scale, will end very bad.
