DHS What should they do with Animation Courtyard?

[JackCH]

There's a solid lineup of Marvel B heroes that will be overlooked by the other castle parks. These options plus Big Hero 6 could work.

A-
Dr. Strange and mystical heroes

B
Ghost Rider ?
Moon Knight
Shang-Chi ?
Blade

C
Young Avengers

Strange is the obvious one that could have a pretty cool ride attached to it. Shang-Chi could also work, but I don't think he is particularly popular at the moment.

My heart wants a Fantastic Four ride... desperately. But I guess Doom's Fearfall will be the best I'll get!

Rest assured: you’ll get your Jar-Jar Binks roller coaster one day.

And we will finally find out that jar jar binks is

Spoiler

a Sith Lord!

Has the lack of plans for AC been confirmed?

Most of this discussion came because @lentesta has said they are looking at a short-term plan and that the long-term plans he's heard aren't compelling.

I don’t see it. The video game was/is a best-seller and they’re currently making a new TV show. Anecdotally, Potter seems to be very popular among school-age children.

The new show is going to bomb and Rowling is one of the least popular people on the planet.

I never go in there anymore. Okay, I'll check out the new Little Mermaid next time I'm in HS. The rest is just a waste of space.

and to be honest - the updates to the show were really good, it looks great.

I'm not sure what planet you're on but it clearly isn't Earth.

In a way that doesn’t bode too well for the concept, all the “heavy hitters” of Disney-owned Fox animation really lend themselves better to restaurants or simulator rides than anything else. American Dad is the only one that I can think of a non-simulator idea for. You could have a Krusty themed coaster or flat ride but the park really doesn’t need another coaster.

• Futurama: Planet Express - Simulator ride, could parody (or reuse the bones of) Star Tours

What about a dark ride? Whalers on the Moon!

Remember the episode "Parasites Lost" where Fry get smart worms after ingesting a bad egg salad sandwich? The entire episode plays out like a twisted version of Epcot's Body Wars. That's be a fun one to revisit. lol

Switching back to a celebration of animation with exhibits of f upcoming movies, character greets, and a return of the animation learn to draw class would be a quick and enjoyable fix.

Oh dont forget the food merchandising that could be available: Slurm, popplers, space honey, jerked prunes, Caffeinated bacon, Admiral Crunch, Big Pink, Hermes' manwich, and the best for last Sugar frosted, sugar blasted Purpleberries with loquat flavored orange berries.

Don't forget the meet and greet with Gumbercules.

Politics! Politics!

I think Potter as a franchise may be on it's way out of public favor.

I hope it hurried up. The waits for all the HP attractions remain quite high. I hope Universal fans soon get the memo!

 

[BrianLo]

I’m a bit confused as I thought the long term plan was recently committed to. But that was actually this short-term plan you referencing @lentesta ?

Word around the Launch Bay is there's now a completed concept for Animation Courtyard. As in "we could release this to the public."

Not sure what ideas made it in or timeline. But they've settled on a direction.

Yeah, I need those lands bulldozed and turned into more Jurassic Park.
