Voyage of the Little Mermaid is done, won't reopen with the parks.

That’s pretty much what we have in Florida. California has some of the individual charm left on Main Street.

As per usual. The architecture on Main St at MK is still a draw, though.

Agreed. Aribas Brothers is nice too with the glass blowing and sculpting.

I don’t have those numbers handy but newer attractions are a bad comparison because costs have spiraled out of control since 2006 (meaning return on invest has become worse). The previous $100 million attraction was the Roller Coaster Themed to India or Whatever and more recently Pixar Pier cost more than that.

2006? But Mermaid opened in 2011

Have you tried Six Flags?

Cedar Point yes. Universal has the Hulk with some theming to it. Would love to see something like that at Disney

Try the Herschend parks... Dollywood and Silver dollar city.

I do agree, and perhaps Disney can build an intense coaster on steroids that is fully themed. I’m thinking a revised Fire Mountain

I have a strong, um feeling, all shows will be dark.

Whether Mermaid is temporary or permanent IDK. Anyone that is planning to visit WDW for shows, parades and characters should reevaluate those plans. I don’t think the news will be good

Mt Everest is in Nepal and Tebet, I mean China. There is no way the Forbidden Mountain is not in Nepal (Disney aint touching Tibet with a 20 ft pole.)

India or Whatever.

 

[UNCgolf]

They're referencing a quote from Bob Iger. He was promoting the use of IP in the parks and said they would no longer be building "some nondescript coaster somewhere, that maybe is India or whatever".

Little Mermaid queue in WDW is amazing though. It has to be up there as one of my favorites! The ride itself...meh, it’s ok.

I agree the queue is awesome!

I agree the queue is awesome!

Have you been there on 11/18 at noon?

Wow that is awesome! I just googled it.

Only redeeming feature of this monstrosity imo. Wish the money would have been spent to make it greater than small world but sadly it is much less and small world isn't all that as far as I am concerned.
