Two Spirited Quickees...Imagination closing

[tirian]

MiceAge blames MM+? No way, I call all of this good news.

Cars repealed means a better chance of the better alternative: SW Land. Imagination to stay open for the foreseeable future is good news, the alternative isn't a new ride but another shuttered pavilion. And DAK's nightshow will come about one way or another anyway.


Alas! Pluperfect, CL had gotten the greenlight. Currently, the Cars are stopped in front of a red light. The traffic light may or may not turn green again.

The alternative was not a shuttered pavilion.

I agree that the other news is good news. Star Wars >>>>> than Cars.

It's not the size of the IP that matters, it's how you use it. If your going to wave your IP around you better have something to back it up, or else people will look for someone who knows how to use it.

Making the Pixar Place expansion exclusively Cars was a bad idea anyways. It needs a greater variety of stuff.

Right.

Nice to have you back here @articos.

Thanks. Been busy. Did I miss anything?

Oh...you mean like the Disney dropping the ball with J.K. Rowling before the Uni-tards swooped in?

 

[SirLink]

Right.

Nothing like a pint of Butterbeer with added whiskey won't fix ... but nothing out of usual apart from some inane speculation about a Frozen ride.

To get back on topic, Imagination clearly hasn't closed yet but the OP was correct: it was supposed to. Plus Cars Land had gotten the green light and DAK has been testing night show light FX for over 6 months. All are on hiatus right now.

MiceAge blames the MM+ debacle, and others claim this situation is more of a shell game. We'll see. Point is, nobody within WDI is talking out loud right now.

But they said their was to be an nighttime spectacular at DAK ... oh wait ... they didn't even give a time frame ... oooh boy.

So who is WDI trying to hide stuff from ... the competition ... nah not going to fall for that Disney.

Carsland has the green light??? How grandiose of a Carsland are we talking about?

But if the focus was Star Wars, even though I believe they can do good stuff still - see Cars Land - however that doesn't help the identity crisis that that particular park will still have.

The problem is, MGM needed both expansions, and the Cars redo of the backlot was, presumably, not too far from being ready to go.
The Star Wars land, assuming it's ever actually built, appears to be further out from being ready, and I'm afraid they may wait until one or two of the new sequels has shown what it will do at the box office before even deciding how much of the new land to dedicate to them (and possibly whether to build anything Star Wars at all).
Further, the backlot was in more desperate need of a re-theming than the area of the park rumored to be alloted for the Star Wars stuff (presumably it will encompass where Star Tours is now).

Yes. No one is debating it's necessary.

The issue is paying for it and not impacting the current mandated profit margins.

How on earth do you grope a car ? Don't answer that!

"Fixing the engine"

Don't answer that!

Oops...

 

[FigmentsFangirl]

Well, I guess this thread {at least the last two posts} actualoly shows us all that our imaginations are still working.

Now, I've heard of a car groping a tree {I see it on the news at times} or a car groping another car {look up Hummer runs over a car on youtube and you'll see what I mean}, but a human groping a car........ ew

You don't, Meet-n-Grope is the term on Spirit's AKA @WDW1974 threads for a meet and greet,

I personally feel it's more accurate. I'm always careful NOT to touch CM's just to give them a break, being a photographer I know where to position myself to appear to be touching but in reality not.

Meet-n-Grope

Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

The pavilion's re-imagining was indefinitely postponed along with the Studios plans.

I know I sound like a cop-out: this is another one of those things that should have happened and was later cancelled.

Was there actually a plan to reimagine the pavilion or was the design process itself halted?

See I know people (MiceAge) are blaming MM+ solely but could it be Shanghai costing more than predicted. Could it be the double whammy has ground everything in Flower Street to a halt...
