News Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

Depends. Which patents in particular?

The hang glider looking one just really made me think of the abandoned coaster from beastly kingdom. Not saying it is that, rather could see them incorporate that or a different new system for villains

That’s rude…

Why was it unsettling? They are not real and could not even fire a blank.

It just struck me as odd that in this day and age there are guns trained sniper style at riders in a theme park. Yes I guess they have been there all along and maybe if I knew that it would make it less weird. But in 2024, with all the insanity of the news, it was a weird discovery. I am not saying it shook me to my core or even that I was distraught by it. It is just an observation.

Went and explored the entirety of Tom Sawyer’s island on my WDW trip last week. I had never been the fort on the very back of the island. Had no clue there was a jail, AAs, escape tunnels, and other sights. The boats were packed with people getting one last look. One bizarre discovery were the guns you could fire from the fort that point right at Big Thunder Mountain riders. Yes, obviously it is all fake but it was unsettling to realize all this time riding Big Thunder we were being shot at. Who knew?!?!

I guess if you’ve never been to Fort Langholm you wouldn’t have known.

But what exactly was unsettling about finding out that kids have been aiming at the Big Thunder riders for decades?

It is just kind of odd, I guess. Maybe surprising is a better word.

Either way, to get back on track, I wonder if we will receive more concept art in 2025 for villains or if we have to wait until the next D23.

Kids are playing uber violent games online, all the time with graphic violent rendering.... and no one will say a thing about it...but an old Western fort that has guns is somehow a huge problem...Yes by this minute's filter it seems odd....but odder still is feeling surprised at this old fort and not being outraged at the constant barrage of super violent content kids are subjected to on a daily basis...and that includes everyone's beloved Super Heroes... the guns used to have a pneumatic pop when you pulled the trigger too...but that was when they were shooting at nothing...and before a little girl got her finger stuck in the trigger and was injured...I think all the triggers were removed or disabled after that...

I feel like everyone is reading too much into someone being surprised that the guns shoot at the ride… Like I am surprised too considering that it’s 2024 and Disney has been trying to distance themselves from anything that could be problematic, too scary/violent etc, and this one little thing has managed to slip through the cracks.

You can be surprised at the fort and also outraged at kids violent content, I don’t think they are mutually exclusive.
