As usual you once again missed the point so you could highlight your anger with Disney for not conforming to your idea of perfection. If you cannot understand the limits of scale that has to involve humans, that cannot be scaled, then there is no sense in continuing this conversation.
It's not discussing things that is mind boggling it is the type of discussions coupled with so many unrealistic, pie in the sky, expectations.
If it can't be scaled properly, and thus can't be convincingly themed... that seems like a pretty good reason not to build it.
If there are such limits then you should have no problem actually stating them. What makes it impossible to build everything at a consistent scale?
Or a very good reason for you not to go to it if you cannot muster up even a little childlike imagination. It's probably just not within your grasp.
Or maybe just wait until it exists in its entirety before you decide that it isn't going to be any good. It isn't a matter of imagining that it is good or bad, it is a matter of your capability to suspend disbelief. If you can't do that then I cannot begin to acknowledge just how many good things you have missed in a Disney Park.
Sorry, we are all allegedly mature, intelligent adults and if we cannot understand that certain aspects of reality are not something that can be manipulated then there is no sense in even going to a theme park. All we will find is fault.
Discussion is talking about things that we know. If you spend your life creating things, that haven't yet happened, recent history tells you what you get. I'm not sure how it will all end up, so I cannot comment on it because I don't know. I do know and understand that in the world of theme park, fantasy entertainment a very large portion of the enjoyment comes from within ourselves. You folks are not discussing fact you are expressing your love or, in this case, your hatred for something that doesn't exist. You don't know what the end result will be and whatever judgement that is being made is based on a two dimensional piece of artwork coupled with, what I consider, a very misshaped thought that any amount of money can alter reality. Some of the simplest ideas and presentations have been long admired classics. Ask yourself, had they decided today to build Small World and all you had to base it on was a piece of artwork, what opinion do you think you would have of it? What? Riding around in a boat with primitive, wannabe AA's, to a song (which you wouldn't know about yet) that is embedded in you mind forever? Really, damn Disney is too cheap to make a real attraction! If the, to my amazement, much loved, Toad ride were to be proposed today. Would the "discussion" about the story line or the concept of the idea or would it be "Day-glow" cardboard cutouts laid along side of a stock roadside carnival track where you end up dying and going to hell going to be anything other then what a stupid shortcut. Disney is cutting back again and the accountants are calling the shots on that one.
Echo Lake has Star Tours and Indy and I actually think MuppetVision is an E. But I would hardly argue DHS is acceptable right now. I don't actually think the park's problem by 2020 will be a shortage of E-tickets so much as a shortage of compelling A-D tickets. Maybe they can go the DAK route to fill the guest's day and start breeding squirrels.
