Yeah, Sleeping Beauty would almost certainly work better as a ride. I only went with Cinderella since it's the Cinderella Castle.

As in they used to think out of the box or there was a planned Lion King dark ride?
Both!

Why would you want rides when you can spend that same amount of money on fake rocks?

So...it's just going to be a happy ride with no antagonist?

It’s an option. I don’t understand the lead up to the main drop without actual peril but I wasn’t asked.

How about an east coast version of the Pinocchio dark ride? Or an east coast Alice in Wonderland dark ride? Robin Hood? Nightmare Before Christmas? The Sword in the Stone? The Legend of Sleepy Hollow? Mary Poppins? Bedknobs and Broomsticks? Or put the Princess and the Frog ride THERE and leave Splash Mountain alone?

Was this more recent or further back?

Why there isn’t a nightmare before Christmas area at DHS is truly baffling.
I still say Moana would be better served with a volcano themed coaster in Adventureland. A volcano rising up behind POTC and JC would make for some great views from in the park and from across the Seven Seas lagoon.

I'd love to see the princess M&G returned to being a ride. That said....
I still think it was foolish not to put a copy of the Pinocchio ride in the circus area of MK - having another ride there would help draw people to that corner and it would fit in well with the theme (the outside would be an advertisement for Stromboli's show featuring Pinocchio). Would also work in Italy in Epcot.
Alice or Sword in the Stone (or both!) would be a great option for a ride in the UK pavilion.
Sleepy Hollow would be a great addition if they ever expanded Liberty Square - would need to probably fill in a bit of the River to build a path past HM, but they could easily add stuff to the north of that land.

A possible Lion King ride was under consideration around the time that FOTLK was moved to Africa and would have been in the same general area as the show. IIRC from insiders. It was never greenlit however.

I'd rather see Fire Mountain, but that's not happening unless you change the theme. Moana is better served as a boat ride or water coaster, IMO.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
It's just a 10 minute version of Frozen Ever After. Literally.
"Come to Elsa's Ice Palace for a celebration! See ya there!"
"Come to the bayou for Tiana's mardi gras celebration! See ya there!"
Same conceit as Festival of the Lion King.
And It's a Small World (NSFW language)...

"Our past is always inspiring our future. Our Imagineering team drew inspiration from Disney Legend Mary Blair for our transformation of Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom in honor of the upcoming 50th Anniversary celebration beginning October 1, 2021.
A couple weeks ago we shared a rendering of how this new décor will come to life. And for the first time - I’m excited to reveal this new @WaltDisneyImagineering illustration of Cinderella Castle in full 50th Anniversary regalia in the style of Mary Blair.
Her enchanting visual designs and use of color for the film Cinderella were our source of inspiration, which you can swipe to see courtesy of the @DisneyAnimation Research Library. We wanted to go back to the original story of this beautiful structure to create something entirely original for this grand celebration. Fanciful ribbons wrap in air around the castle turrets – inspired by the scene in the film where Cinderella is transformed in her stunning gown. And Mary’s designs provided us a beautiful palette of rich hues to choose from – deep blues, purples and shimmering golds mesh with a touch of EARidescence that will catch light and evolve through the day and into each evening.
Over the coming months we’re excited to share more of our progress as this stunning transformation happens before our eyes."
