Tiana has had snippet of presence in Tokyo Disney Parks since Fantasmic at Tokyo DisneySea and now has a presence in Fantasy Springs, it may not be big or a meet and greet but PATF franchise is there.

Conscerning Splash Heres what I say, There might be a sweetheart Deal Between Disney and OLC, that OLC cant refuse.

Disney can’t even get around to properly monetizing Imagination, but they are going to bribe OLC...

Disney's free crash crunch is ending. By the end of this fiscal year, the same one in which the first two quarters had a free cash crunch, Disney will have $8B in free cash.

I’m well aware. But this is a big spend overseas for optics in the North America market? One that Disney doesn’t even financially benefit from. It just doesn’t make sense.

I’d liken it to the prevalence of rumors surrounding Comcast making a sweetheart trade for Marvel rights. It’s nonsense that keeps rattling around and we are seeing its reappearance (this isn’t a new ‘rumor’) because both OLC and Tiana are top of mind.

This doesn’t mean Disney can’t do things that don’t make sense, nor that I’m remotely a Splash defender. I’m certain they pushed hard for Tiana or a change of their choice two years ago. I doubt they offered to pay for it. I just need one credible person who isn’t a CM to give this better weight.

State side Disney doesn't spend that much on an attraction. 🙂

These are bathrooms...

The grass may be greener here and there, but it is some shade of green on both sides.

Personally, I'd take Pandora and Galaxy's Edge over Fantasy Springs, but yes, Disney fans, like Veruca Salt, want the world- the whole world- and they want it now.

I'm trying to get more of a feel for both Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey and Peter Pan here.

Anna and Elsa's Frozen journey appears to rely on actual track switches and is using something a little less "complex" than the Shanghai Pirates tech, is that correct?

As for Peter Pan, do the vehicles have pitch and yaw? It appears trackless, but at first glance I was thinking it was something closer to Spiderman at IOA than say Ratatouille.

Yes, it uses track switches not the Shanghai tech.

The Peter Pan ride vehicles are not trackless and they are very, very similar to the Spider-Man vehicles. They do have pitch and yaw.

I apologize that you interpreted my sentiment that way. My commentary is not vitriol directed at you in the least. I don’t even think you are the source on that rumour, didn’t it come from twitter?

I’m trying to discuss the practicalities of two arms lengths publicly traded companies going off script and exchanging money. To change an attraction one does not technically own for social reasons, from not the market the owner itself operates in. The owner of which has been opposed to changes. Hush money can’t just materialize, without Wall Street knowing.

If you don’t know, that’s ok. But this is a big thing to claim, without logistics, that I think people are overlooking. I’m trying to stop a probable false rumour in its tracks unless something more substantial is presented.

The simplest explanation is not that after three years they finally convinced them. It’s that an old (and rejected by other insiders) rumour has resurfaced. Simply because both topics are currently top of mind opening in June.

Those are some gorgeous bathrooms. I'm genuinely convinced that had Fantasy Springs been built in WDW, some people would magically find ways to complain about it.

I don't see a point to this ride. What was the animating idea behind the attraction? What does it do that the nearly 70 years old "Peter Pan's Flight" doesn't do better already? Most of the scenes seem to be the same except in the new one the screen-based characters talk and talk and talk and talk. They talk - a lot. For no reason, it seems.

I'm actually pretty impressed with the Tinker Bell ride. Knows it's audience, has a core idea (four seasons of woodland sprites) and goes for really good execution. Like all the rides I'm seeing of Fantasy Springs, it's too short, and had it been two to three minutes longer, I'd call it the undisputed winner.

I know we often lament that the only Tangled presence in the US are the WDW bathrooms... but those are by far my favorite bathrooms on property! And the theming on things like that is part of what sets Disney apart.
