The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

The Villains concept was for California Screamin right? So sad this never came to fruition :/

I miss looking forward to what the future held for DCA. Now, it's just sad.

They should rename the park, “Mickey Mess.” The slogan can be, “We actually did all this on purpose.”

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Michael Eisner once said at the opening of DCA, "Mickey, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Bob Cheapek said, "Mickey, you're going to work a 12 hour shift and like it or we're going to accuse you of being a racist and destroy your life. As for you idiot tourists, hand that money over and good luck with those Boarding Groups!"

Any WDW-ers know if the abridged version of the old Tex Avery cartoon The Cat Who Hated People is still playing in the Sci-Fi Drive In? There's a gag in there that would make me surprised if they still played it.

I was about to post this here. Why take it away and then do this to me, Disney?

 

[D.Silentu]

That was my thought too. The announcement reminded me of a thought I had awhile ago, which I will repost here:

That notion hints at a road not taken. Disney is so IP obsessed, I wonder if they might have ended the Twilight Zone license and developed TOT as their own totally owned property. Suppose they had used the recent six month (EDIT: Guardians of the Galaxy) change over, with concurrent refurbishments in Orlando and Paris, to scrub all Twilight Zone references in favor of their own narrative and redo the preshow(and of course add varying drop profiles). With the proven ability to reprogram the ride, over time an eerie mythology could be developed. At one point wasn't there discussion of a TOT movie(nevermind the 90's groaner)? It seemed like there was a lot of associated merchandise for them to expand on. I can't help but wonder if this was a missed opportunity for them, or I simply miss the ride.

 

[Suspirian]

Wouldnt it be funny if we got like a sequel attraction based on this movie? A darkride where we zoom past the Tower of Terror in the distance.

 

[BasiltheBatLord]

They should have David Lynch direct the ToT movie.

 

[D.Silentu]

They should have David Lynch direct the ToT movie.

That would actually guarantee me seeing it! I suppose they did somehow convince Guy Ritchie to direct Aladdin, which seemed equally unlikely at the time.

 

[Suspirian]

They should have David Lynch direct the ToT movie.

Cant even fathom what that would end up looking like

 

[Rich T]

We ARE all aware that another ToT movie slready exists, right?

It's a TV movie... so nobody cares!

 

[Rich T]

It's a TV movie... so nobody cares!

But it’s got Steve Guttenberg in it!

And, actually, it’s not awful.

 

[lazyboy97o]

We should all care about all of Steve’s glorious works. Now I’m going to watch one true original trilogy, Police Academy.

When I was a kid, I had a huge crush on Steve Guttenberg lol I was so mad when I wasn’t allowed to watch Police Academy.

I too had a crush on him when I was a child. Nothing like my Tom Hanks crush though.
