I loved the Skyway as a kid, but at its core was nothing but a traditional carnival/amusement park ride. The only thing that made it "disney" was the view, which undoubtedly was my favorite part.
However, I can only imagine the outcry from everyone here if Disney never had a Skyway ride and they announced tomorrow that they were adding an unthemed bucket ride to the park that required large gray metal poles through Tomorrowland and Fantasyland to hold it up. THe arguments about how cheap it was and how it was going to destroy MK's views would be interesting....
I'm just glad they are doing something with the left over skyway building. Is its removal/downsizing part of SM's refurb budget?

Pssst, it's a 74 theory so you should know it's not accurate. :lol:

Except that this has very much become the standard in the movie business. The drop off between opening weekend and the second weekend is significant and has been the norm for awhile now. Even The Dark Knight's second weekend (in which the film retained the Number One slot) was a little less than half of its opening weekend.

Wow, someone said Robinsons would be a good fit in Tomorrowland (and I still stand by said opinion. Heck, I keep armchair imagineering in my head a darkride taking the format of Horizons hosted by the Robinsons) and then it just escalates into a massive thread derail like this? What is this, imageboard-esque ADD?

Disney has already forgotten about the robinsons. You should to.
Throw it in the pile with Condorman, Brother Bear, Home on the Range, Island at the top of the world, The Watcher in the woods, and Treasure Planet.
No one is going to be talking about anything from this wretched decade once Disney's new slate (Tron, Princess & The Frog, Rapunzel, King of the Elves, Snow Queen, etc.) start coming out!

Except it's one of my favorite Disney movies. By that logic, you should forget all attractions past, because Disney's left those behind as well. And as I've argued, Robinsons and Bolt have helped build up to the potential grand slam that Princess and the Frog is gonna be, just as Great mouse Detective and Oliver and Company were how Disney ramped up to the success of Little Mermaid and the rest of the 90s.
Also, since when was Snow Queen put back into development? I thought that project died decades ago.
For god's sake, can this argument die for now and we can TRY getting somewhere close to back on topic?

LOL am I missing something here? GMD and O&C are both flops of Disney.... so how did they ramp up TLM's success? Is there so many flops before an amazing movie? I don't get it. :shrug:

They were both critical successes and they actually did pretty well at the box office, enough to keep the animation department from being scrapped all together (a thread coming from how craptacular Black Cauldron did). Plus, those two were pretty much when a lot of the artists that were behind Mermaid and the other 90s movies were really establishing themselves at Disney.
