Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

[BrerFoxesBayouAdventure]

I would take that rumor with a grain of salt. It's hard to imagine them doing something like that when Space Mountain hasn't even closed yet. Besides, there is NO controversy over there about the ride. Disney can't actually force OLC to change it.

I brought this up in another TDR thread but what could Disney do to force them to change it?

TDR thread but what could Disney do to force them to change it?

Nothing.

OLC enjoys near absolute control over their parks, period.

((The threshold for Disney to intervene or supersede OLC operations is high like only if OLC sullied or debased the Disney image or name—-which obviously won’t happen))

Disney still has profound influence on their decision making

The Rapunzel figure in the tower is an AA and not a static figure as previously thought. Little details like these really make the land feel more alive.

In what way?

OLC has complete say over pricing, operating hours, attraction menus, resort expansion(or contraction), HR/personnel, safety, maintenance schedules, special events, new character and attraction creation, organizational charts…..thus, more or less everything.

That's great; really adds so much.

First look at the Peter Pan and Tinkerbell attractions.

I didn't know the Peter Pan ride was a 3D screen attraction -- that's pretty disappointing.

It's basically the same tech as Spider-Man. I am hoping it achieves a good mix of physical and screens, but the initial pictures don't really give me high expectations.

I really wonder what OLC is going to do in the future, these leaks I'm sure must be devastating for them. I guess they had no choice but to officially show stuff before more damage is done.

Spoiler: Ride spoilers

The Rapunzel ride looks absolutely fantastic with those screen shots, but obviously no way to tell until actual footage is out as to how much they have shown. As for Peter Pan, as much as I don't like screen rides, I'm still intrigued as to what it is like to ride it. Riding and looking at a video simply aren't very comparable to me, because part of experiencing these attractions are the movement and audio experiences to me.

Damage to what exactly?

……to the Fantasy Springs glorious reveal on D-Day I suppose

 

[Bayou]

Yeah it's a shame that years of imagineers work is being spoiled.

It's a response to Soarin' being so popular there. I hope it was done tastefully. The ride system isn't the same tech as Spiderman, and is unique to this ride.

It’s a bit more complicated than that.

the pics from peter pan dont look that amazing imo...it looks like the ride vehicles are made so you cant look to your sides, just straight ahead.....

That would make sense if it's designed for you to mainly see what's happening on a screen in front of you (especially a 3D screen with glasses)

That's why it seems pretty disappointing.
