Are they letting people in the queue before previews???

I have heard this rumor as well. I have also heard that OLC was finally starting to relent and come to the table to discuss what this change would look like. Idk how they don’t walk away after seeing this today. OLC has all the ammo they need now to hold their ground for a long time between the attraction and reaction idk how OLC moves forward with any changes.Rumors say that Burbank and it's DEI is pressuring Tokyo HARD to take this thing. For some reason, Burbank REALLY wan'ts "Splash Mountain" 100% cancelled.
I suspect that they don't want this new attraction to be forced to live in the shadow of a working (and popular) "Splash Mountain" in Tokyo. The comparrisons between the two will never stop and it will go on for decades. This is debate is bad for Orlando and Anaheim.
This video probably saved Tokyo. It demonstrates that Imagineering stateside his lost all it's focus and can't be trusted to replace TDLs #1 ride.I have heard this rumor as well.

I think Louis hears the frogs in the log (that's why he's half in it). And so, to get to the frog band, Odie shrinks us down to recruit them for the party.Can someone explain this “shrinking part” for me. So the story is to find musicians for the party and they find all these critters to be part of the band and Tiana wants you to find more so she has Mama Odie shrink you to go into some log thing and find two frogs (all I saw) and then apparently that was enough so she makes you big again and has you go down a waterfall to get their quicker. Am I missing anything?
That friend of yours who claimed this would be great? I'm now even more suspicious of his claims that the Disneyland version will retain all the America Sings animatronics. None of their Magic Kingdom counterparts survived the retheme we got.However, I was still willing to give it a chance to try and was somewhat of a "soft defender" of the ride early on as I had heard some positive things about it that intrigued me. This does not live up to the moderate expectations I had.
I'm sure there's gonna be people claiming this is better than Splash Mountain because it's INCLUSIVE and NOT RACIST.I think this will be well-received by the general public. If you throw them a bone of their favorite songs from whatever IP you've shoved in where it doesn't belong, they'll be bopping along the whole way and sing its praises to Research at the end.
I'm so tempted to make a salt mine joke.so take my opinion with a grain of salt
Yeah, it's the animatronics in the Little Mermaid ride that look cheap.And Mermaid doesn’t have cheap looking sets either.
I saved all my hatred for Bob Iger, for what it's worth.I really hate the way these two women have been vilified by those critical of the retheme.
The vultures being replaced by a screen with that hideous CGI Mama Odie on it is, quite possibly, the most appalling thing I've seen all day.
Yeah, where the heck ARE the spoonbills?Where are the spoonbills or other critters??

Even if Disney agreed to do the complete renovation for free, what incentive would OLC have to have a super-popular attraction shut down for a year while it was being re-constructed? And Disney would never agree to doing it for free.Rumors say that Burbank and it's DEI is pressuring Tokyo HARD to take this thing. For some reason, Burbank REALLY wan'ts "Splash Mountain" 100% cancelled.

No, they had previews for WDI today.Are they letting people in the queue before previews???
Everything wrong with current storytelling in the Parks in one image.The graphics team strikes again . . .

I think assignments can work as well. Convert Splash to a Tiana attraction is doable enough where many were positive about the idea beforehand. Even with the mandate that they want to avoid Facilier and make it a sequel could still yield positive results.Is it possible that WDI can only function one way?
As in they need to come up with the concepts/ride systems and then pitch them?
What I’m getting at is if they are given something existing and told “we need to change this to X…”. They’re done. It doesn’t work well
Please tell me all the big deal nonsense they made out of the research into Louisiana salt mines wasn't so they could hang a sign on the wall of the queue that said "salt mines" and have that explain why the Splash Mountain queue is unchanged in areas.
As I said earlier, I’m not of the opinion that good storytelling is beyond the capabilities of today’s Imagineers. I’m trying to keep my criticisms specific.Everything wrong with current storytelling in the Parks in one image.
Imagineering taking a well deserved victory lap.Are they letting people in the queue before previews???
Only Joe can answer that question with his years of experience, glad he is consulting with the company againPlease tell me all the big deal nonsense they made out of the research into Lousiana salt mines wasn't so they could hang a sign on the wall of the queue that said "salt mines" and have that explain why the Splash Mountain queue is unchanged in areas.
