"Never underestimate Disney's desire to immediately throw their classic attractions under the bus and replace it with IP if they make a movie that performs better than expected" is a lesson I really ought to have learned by now, yet I'm still surprised to hear things like this each time they happen.
Found these on Twitter:
There were even Stitch Mountain pins made and sold at the time with the concept art on it.
Is it just me or does that concept are look fair better than anything Disney puts out now? Someone actually drew something!
I need to grab this pin some time, I love Space Mountain and Stitch is my favorite Disney character. When I was younger I started a lanyard with only Stitch pins, and it's one of my 2 lanyards I have left from when I was young. Thank you very much for sharing this information, hopefully it isn't too expensive / difficult to find. Will do more research after work!
What the— Not an IP in sight?! Wasted merch potential! Large Mountain Thunder—or whatever it’s called—Is not a magical enchanted dream wish at all! Get Bob on the phone; we’re turning this outdated relic into Woody’s Roundup Railroad: Stinky Pete’s Revenge!
I like that name. Stinky Pete's Revenge!
I've never noticed it at Disneyland but I can confirm that for my entire adult life, there's a been noticeable difference at the air conditioning at WDW 1) between places that directly generate revenue (shops, restaurants) and those that don't (attractions), and 2) between WDW and the other Florida parks.
Maybe I wasn’t paying close enough attention. I do remember walking into CoP, thinking there would be AC blasting, and nope. It wasn’t hot, but it wasn’t cool either. Just barely room temperature.
Wet bulb or dry bulb?
