Update Fantasyland?

[NemoRocks78]

Snow White's Scary Adventure and Peter Pan's Flight really could use the updates. Snow needs the most help though, so I would rather them update it first.

As for new dark rides....Sleeping Beauty and Marry Poppins. Two films that could really use a nice attraction.

I think the dark rides in FL could use a technology upgrade. FL could also use a few more of them, that area could really use some increased capacity.

Some movies that I think would make good dark rides:

1. The Little Mermaid
2. The Aristocats
3. Robinhood
4. The Rescuers (have the cars be upturned leaves with a dragonfly on the back)
5. Tarzan

With 20KLUTS now almost gone, I would really like to see the back of FL pushed back (the ride buildings would be where the back of the current lagoon is now...or further back) as this would add a great deal of space for strollers and whatnot in the middle....they could also move the teacups deeper in to FL, which would help the transition between FL and TL....but now I am drifting.

I agree that the current dark rides in Fantasyland should be updated with new technology. I do not want them to change the over all look and feel, just better ride systems, pain jobs and effects.

I would not like to see newer dark ride attractions added from recent Disney Films. Fantasyland is a great place for the classics. Newer ideas like Harry Potter and others should be kept away from this area.

Also, Fantasyland is growing increasingly popular and the sidewalks and pathways just can't handle the crowds, strollers and screaming kids. Although I love Fantasyland, I always try to avoid walking through if I don't have to. Especially between IASW and Peter Pan. I know that the buildings can't be pushed back but I think once that the 20K lagoon is paved over, they should move Dumbo there and the Carousel back a little from the rear of the Castle. That would make it a little more tolerable to get through there.

Just my opinions. Playing RCT for years really helps you see traffic patterns at theme parks!

Sleeping Beauty NEEDS a dark ride. I think Robin Hood and The Rescuers could both make great rides too... do The Rescuers have any representation at WDW at all? A Mary Poppins attraction would rock! I'd gladly take something with Pete's Dragon and Bedknobs & Broomsticks, too!

Why is Pooh in Fantasyland?? I believe most people would agree with me in saying that Pooh is not classic Disney or even Disney at all. Riding around wildly with a crazy toad was definitely fantasy! Pooh should not have an attraction in Fantasyland and It's A Small World really belongs in World Showcase.

Robin Hood? Forget the cartoon. Make a ride based off of Men in Tights. Disney was going to have a Mel Brookes ride where ToT sits right now.

It's A Small World really belongs in World Showcase.

Now that's extreme! :hammer: But I agree with everthing else!

The rides could definitely be updated while maintaining parts of the classic that make some people shy away from wanting to do it.

Robin Hood it definitely underrated and would deserve a ride but I would also enjoy a ride that was strictly a theme park ride like the Haunted Mansion and POTC were prior to the movies being made.

Mary Poppins seems like it would be all set up for a stage show. So many classic songs to try and fit into one ride.

Yes, Pan should be updated. It has'nt changed in 30 years. On the free Disney DVD Vacation planner thing the clip of pan is the same one from 1971. Snow white i just laugh at when i ride it. Its that outdated

 

[boobis]

i would like to see peter pan get updated the tin foil in the volcano for example is too old fashioned

i think if they replace one it should be replaced with junglebook dark ride.........
