The best location for Runaway Railroad is just next to your marked area. Instead of removing the Studio theatre and the Disney village parking building, it makes more sense to remove the Disney Channel Building (which houses stitch live, the show for children and offices). Removing that big building and the backstage buildings for the night shows on the tower of terror offers enough room for building Runaway Railroad. It fits perfectly in the theme of World Premiere Plaza and we would lose the most ugly part of the park.

Sadly it wouldn’t fit. Not in its current form. If it did, there would also be the issue of a looming show building impossible to hide (and only enough depth for a mural or similar as opposed to something dimensional)

I’m all for not having offices on-park (looking at you DHS as well) but I’d rather something more, well, fitting, went here.

The buildings in California and Orlando have different shapes, they would need to rearrange some things of course, but in terms of surface available there's enough room. The side of the building facing Avengers Campus could be themed with bricks 🧱 matching the campus style, and the facade facing World Premier as a big theatre. I measured and made a plan some time ago, I'll try to find it.

I found my old sketch. For me this would be the perfect location for Runaway Railroad with an available surface of over 8500 sq meters. Of course I respect other opinions too, just sharing my thoughts.

Wondered how long it would take to get here as his prediction based on a very old rumour seemed to spread like wildfire, with it changing from guess, to rumour to happening every time someone found the info. It's very unlikely

I agree, just thought it's worth bringing up. I just hope DLP main park gets something

Any thoughts on this (solar panel park)?
Or am I late to the party ?

Mainly wondering: could this be just a temporary use of the land — until they eventually move those solar panels to a potential 3rd park's parking lot and/or need to free up the space for actual hotel expansion?

on another note Tom at is reporting a new Star Wars ride / miniland replacing autopia

Since they already freed up expansion space by reorganizing the backstage area behind the Discoveryland railway (former Pizza Planet), I don't even get why they would need to replace Autopia for a Star Wars miniland.

But apart from that particular prediction, what's the current consensus for next week's D23 parks panel?
  • Space Mountain overhaul (end 2027 – 2029) — pretty likely.
  • A brand-new Disneyland Park attraction (2030/31) would be the right move, but I'm not expecting it.
  • Likely: Lion King sneak peeks, Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings preview & opening window, maybe 1-2 show/parade announcements for the 35th anniversary next year.
  • For DAW, the only "joker" news could be the DCA Avengers ride coming here too. Doubt the 3rd lakeside land gets announced — more likely smaller Frozen additions or just the Frozen Christmas overlay preview.
Curious if we'll hear anything on Disney Village or a new hotel too, though that may be less exciting for the mostly US-based/international D23 crowd.

With all the recent management changes — TWDC CEO down to local DLP President — my hope is still that plans for DLP's future after the LK get revisited, hopefully with an ambitious next phase for both parks. At least the current financial results showed a major boost in attendance at DLP due to Frozen. This could either encourage them to keep investing, or confirm that their mini-land approach with just one ride is still paying off.

What does everyone think will actually happen?

DLP at D23 is always weird to predict as it never normally gets a ton of attention, apart from last time with the Lion King announcement. A part of me is thinking multiple Space Mountain refurbs (WDW, HKDL and DLP) bunched together, update on Lion King, 35th anniversary parade for Disneyland Parc, and if they do talk about the resort outside of the parks, either a refurb for Newport Bay or the new Lake Hotel
