I must say that I'm not surprised. I'm sure there are lots of readers of this thread scratching their head trying to figure out what's going on. The resident haters have come out with a vengence. A new attraction is about to open so they can't let this opportunity get past them. The first thread with first hand knowledge of the ride and details and they jump right in... not looking forward to a new attraction, but bashing it as their norm. Of course, their attempt is so ludicrous, it's laughable. A new attraction with new technology in a park that needs updates and changes and it's met with some messed up logic for complaints. Watching them to explain why an attraction where the guest is playing along with movie characters from a popular movie in the movie studios park doesn't fit the theme is pure entertainment. Of course, the rationalization that ToT or RnRC fits better is hilarious!
Hahahahaha
Ok, first off, your tone is just hilarious. I know your goal was to sound all elitist, but you really just made yourself sound like every other "internet tough guy" out there, and I can't help but apply those same stereotypes to you.
I think what you need to realize, is that there aren't really any "haters" on here. We all give credit to imagineering where credit is due. Haunted Mansion refurb? Awesome. Expedition Everest? Great. Pirates Refurb? Decent.
We're also smart enough to know that Imagineering isn't perfect, and just accepting every decision made without questioning it is pure fanboyism. I don't think anyone in this thread said the ride won't be fun. I'm sure its a lot of fun. We're just pointing out that it really doesn't fit, and its quite obvious that it was just, yes, "shoehorned" into the park. Disney has been doing that a lot lately - take Soarin' for example - does it really suprise you? I mean, really, are you
actually denying this?
We also all understand the reasoning behind this decision. Yes, it all makes sense, from a
business standpoint. From the quality and artistic originality standpoint that WDI is
supposed to stand for, not so much.
Oh, and "new technology?" This is pretty much Nintendo Wii: The Ride, AKA Buzz v 2.0 (AGAIN, I'm not saying it won't be fun, but this is by no means anything revolutionary.)
While I'm quoting this,
please give me a reason why ToT and RnRc
do not fit better than TSM!
Of course, once you get past their poor attempts of reasoning, it's not hard to get at the crux of the issue. They complain because they think it builds their cred...
Thats pretty funny, because its obvious this is exactly what
you're trying to do with this post.
I guess it's not very PC to find it so funny since it's a sign of such low self-esteem. Their attempts to belittle and tear down the professionals to make themselves look better should probably be seen as a lack of self-worth and in need of our pity. Really, we shouldn't laugh at them. :lookaroun
This is a discussion forum. Like DisneyAnole said, if we didn't have disagreements on Disney's decisions, there would be no discussion here. However, you took it to the next level and made it into personal attacks. You're right - I have low self-esteem because I don't worship everything WDI does. WDI
totally thought this would be the best possible attraction for DHS! No, it wasn't about money and time restraints at all!
Now lets all go ride it with rose-tinted glasses and then rave about how its so much better than anything Universal has ever done because
WDI made it!
Of course, I'm sure when the attraction opens and the lines are crazy long with lots of happy guests we'll see a retraction. Nah, that will never happen. It will be rationalized that just the dumb guests are happy and standing in lines. :brick:
Um, hello? If you know ANYTHING about theme parks, you'll know that ANY new ride, especially one that gets any sort of advertising, ESPECIALLY one at a Disney park, will have long lines when it opens, regardless of how good it actually is. It could be a tram ride past a compost heap, and there'd still be a long line for it because its NEW! So YES, the fact that the general public will line up for it regardless is a perfectly acceptable rationalization.
