News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

[GhostHost1000]

So, Ratatouille (2 years old), Guardians ( 1 year old)and Moana are newer as is Tron...
Avatar is 6 years old
Star Wars land is 4 years old and needs no more marketing splash...
So really, for current projects, they have Moana as something "new"... and a re-landscaped central core... What a fantastic celebration WDW's 50th anniversary was! I don't even think they had free cupcakes...lol

do not underestimate the power of new popcorn buckets lol

I feel like Epcot is relatively fleshed out. DHS and Animal Kingdom though, that's a whole other story entirely. You'd think with Star Wars Land there'd at least be 3 or 4 attractions in there to take full advantage of the massive footprint the area has, but nah.

Are you counting “looking at rockwork” as an attraction? A good chunk of a park day is consumed by this.

Epcot needs to fill the buildings it has and reduce it's reliance on "festivals" to make it float. Build attractions not kiosk tasting booths

That is the thing, EPCOT has shuttered more attractions than it is opened in the las 20 years... Plus there were supposed to be attractions in some of the countries that were never built... Mexico's attraction is ridiculous and needs to be replaced, Germany, UK, and Japan's attractions were never built... If every country that literally has nothing but a shop and restaurant had an actual ride type attraction, they probably would have never had to start the festivals to bolster attendance...

I sincerely hope Epic, the HHN park in Vegas, and the family park in Texas is enough to scare Disney into taking advantage of all the space they have in Orlando and either expand AK/MGM or build an entirely new park.

I'll take the completion of HS & AK over a new park anyway. There's a lot more they could still do with those themes.

Me and my wife actually like the festivals. Flower and Garden is our favorite due to the wonderful mosiaculture.

We also really like the shops in UK and Japan. I wouldnt want to lose either of those.

You and many others keeping that park going rather than TDO investment. They forgot how good it was in the early years

There’s not gonna be a fifth gate. If they ever tried then maybe Iger would be handed his pink slip.

Also I will not tolerate slander against the Three Caballeros ride

I have a friend who really loves that ride and she rates it among her top 5 amongst all 4 parks. I think it's a cute ride and I really like the Eric Goldberg animation done for it.

Sometimes the simplest is the best. This ride and Living with the Land 2 of my faves.

I will agree with LWtL…I love gardening and I still love
“Edutainment” so yes, It’s one of my favs too.

Do we even want to know what a fifth gate would be like under Iger?

I'm really happy the wind vane is still there. I hope it stays that way.

This lady is what is wrong with Imagineering today. She came from Gensler Design who is know in the industry for making life less designs and cutting corners. Poly DVC Tower is a good example. She does not care about story, themeing or details cause she does not know how to do that. She is there to produce cheap stuff with no soul. My team and I shudder when we hear the name Gensler and try to convince ownership to fire them whenever possible on a project we work on. Have to flush out the top and bring back the OGs to make Imagineering sing again.
