Any clue of which park they’re leaning towards? I really think MK would be the better fit and I really hope Imagineers feel the same. Hollywood should be the IP specific land dumping ground, not the castle park.

I know this won't be popular, but I just don't think they pull this trigger. To me this is the perfect fit for a "5th" gate, if they ever decide to do it.
Making a park fully fantasy driven - with a villians area vs. "hero" fantasy area and maybe even throwing in the original thoughts for AK.
I just think to shove this into one corner of any current park as an aside, won't do this justice.

I hate to agree with the "They wont do anything" crowd. But whatever it is they do its 1 Too Late, 2 Will Take WAY TO LONG, 3 It wont be on the level of what came before. I mean look at Epcot, sorry that was a downgrade to me, Not worth the time or the money. Look at the New Hotels, Uhm Hello Cold Corporate Business Hotel!!! They forget or dont want to realize what the Original Hotels did. They had Whimsey, they had great Design, Allowed some escapism from the Outside World, They Felt Disney! (referring to Park Hotels not Aulani etc) I know the feeling part is subjective but I think people here get what I am saying. They just arent Disney.

That would be pretty obnoxious IMO. They already did that two years ago. If they're not ready to commit to something, then I'd prefer they say nothing.

Fair enough. I’m really hoping for MK because I think Zootopia and/or Cars lands would just not work at all for what that park is.

I think they know this is The Dream for a lot of fans and don't want to commit to a solid plan until they know exactly what they want to do. I'd rather this be a swing and a home run they spend a lot of time on rather than a haphazard rushed announcement.
I'll be irritated if it's another bluesky in terms of plans, but I'll be happy if they commit to a Villains land existing in Florida.
Dhs could use another family ride that isn’t trackless. Maybe an Omni over or a different kind of interactive one. I do think cars land could fit that mold, but I think that ship has sailed. I could go on and on about muppets again, but I’ll spare y’all. All I will say is my dream would be mupppets dark ride replacing Indy’s spot eventually.
I do like that they have this attitude, and i hope they share it with figment.

While I'd love a park to be named, I'd be completely ok if all we get at D23 concerning a Villains land is 1) Confirmation that it is happening and 2) More bluesky to prove they're still throwing ideas around and it's not just word service. We know that confirmation that they're going to do XYZ doesn't mean anything. See D23 with Poppins, Main Street Theatre, etc. At least with new concept art we'd see that they're invested in at least ideas of where they're thinking they want to go with the direction of the land.
My biggest problem with more of the Concept Art from Current Disney, is what we actually get after the presentation isnt close to the Concept. Disney was much better about this in the past (not meaning from Walt). They knew if they showed the Fans the Concept Art it better be what is going to happen.......

Instead of a full dark castle, they could have a castle ruins. That would be a lot shorter, they only have to build parts of it, and it could be a walk-through area.

Any new castle construction really should include built-in Dream Lights. Maybe used exclusively during the Halloween season, or maybe not.

8 or 9 depending on how things are going, the maintenance required each day turned out not to really be doable in the space they have currently, they were using the old maintenance bay from dueling dragons I believe. eltororyan has a youtube video on the update. I think the goal is to get it to 10 trains regularly so they can start offering express.
My personal opinion is I don't care when or how they do villains land. I get if they don't want to announce it right now because they need more time, I also personally feel it needs to go and Magic, and that Hollywood should get the lands themed around very specific franchises, not a multi franchised land like FS or Villains for example. I would be ok if they blue sky announce it in that "we don't know how its gonna look, but its going here in this area, and it will be something at this scale." In general I don't think blue sky is bad, but it's when the blue sky is stuff we're never getting in any sort of way that its an issue

Frozen and Rat are amazing? They're barely mediocre.
I am curious if villains land comes to fruition what villains will be used. I can see Disney staying away from Dr Facilier and Jafar to avoid any controversy with racial stereotypes, fantasyland already has the evil queen from show white and Captain Hook and I can’t see them repeating them if villains ends up being in MK
