I don’t think they would not do I think they should. They don’t need coasters that intense at WDW.

Cosmic Rewind is IMHO about the perfect level of intensity they should aim for with this coaster.

You are right on the money. I've said in the past, Disney doesn't need a bunch of hyper coasters all over the place. Cosmic and Everest are as intense as you need. What makes a Disney coaster special, is not its intensity level. Its the emersion you get from riding it. That's why I say cosmic is fun, but it's nothing special overall. If a villain coaster can blend the thrill of cosmic with the attention to detail and theme of 7 Dwarfs and everest, they will have something special. No hyper coaster needed.

Yeah sorry but saying the villains of Disney’s animated film catalog don’t belong at the castle park that has significant ties to and is often viewed as the park for Walt Disney animation is actually an insane take.

No, the insane take is that a park dedicated to the life and legacy of Walt Disney would feature a land that celebrates evil and hideousness.

I was really going by the art which looks pretty crazy at the back and how it travels through that canyon at the front of the art. It just reminded me of Velocicoaster but maybe it would be closer to Taron at Phantasialand.

So in this Villians land, do they plan on including audio animatronics of Bob Iger, Bob Chapek, and Josh D’Amaro and any of the imagineers that came up with some of the plans for these new attractions? Maybe they should include the Walt Disney Animatronic being beat up by the Iger animatronic! That’s what many of these new changes feel like!

Remember that South Park scene with George Lucas and Steven Spielberg *doing things* to Indiana Jones?

This is really the biggest issue for Disney. Even they did build one coaster that was intense enough to interest big coaster enthusiasts, one just isn't enough. Most of them aren't going to go to ride just one attraction when there are numerous other parks that offer many, so it likely wouldn't be a massive draw for that demographic.

They're really too far behind to catch up to other parks for that demographic, unless they wanted to solely invest in monster coasters for several new attractions in multiple parks. But that wouldn't do much to help capacity for their core audience, while attracting more guests solely for those coasters, so it would potentially cause more problems than it would solve.

Their best bet if they really wanted that market would be to build a 5th gate that mainly revolved around big coasters, but I don't think that would be worth the investment for Disney.

Villains land won't be too much for children. It will be for children who LIKE thrills and scares. There are many kids that want thrills and don't want to feel treated like babies. The villains land would cater to them as well as teens and adults.

I agree, but I doubt it will be any more thrilling than Cosmic Rewind or scarier than Haunted Mansion.

Not to lend any credence to Tom, but the initial plans for BBTM were found to be far too costly to reach suitability.

They're still expanding in that general area, but I believe the 2-phase, "huge loop" proposal has been abandoned.

wow... so there are no plans currently to connect the expansion areas and still have the dead end?

Unless I’m misunderstanding your point, I believe the existence of the Cars area replacing the Rivers would also fix the dead end (since you’d be able to cross from Big Thunder to Haunted Mansion via the Cars land instead of walking around the Rivers. It’s a very inelegant solution, and one I’m not enthused about, but it should resolve the dead ends the Rivers create.

I don't expect it to be scary at all. More medieval than spooky.
