What should they're next move be?? Expansions, refurbs, etc.

Would love to hear your thoughts..

While I could have voted for more important things, I chose Dinoland because it should be embarrassing to Disney. I just don't care for that area at all because it just looks so cheap and like a last minute thought.

How many times are people going to bring this up? That was the intention.

In essence, yes, this is true. But the overall concept just comes across as them being cheap and throwing in "filler" to make the park have more than two attractions.

I voted for Pixar Place. I've written off AK, and will just wait to see if Avatar comes along some day. After FLE, I think MK is actually fine for a while. Sure, they could re-open a pavilion in Epcot, but at least that park fills an entire day of touring.

DHS, however, needs some love. It's time to dust off the 50 Blue Sky projects and put the pencil to the paper.

It needs to be something where vacation goers significantly modify their vacation plans to allow for additional time at WDW.

Currently, MK and Epcot are full day parks and DHS/AK can be regarded as half day parks. I know some people will disagree with me on DHS, but it really depends on the ages of your kids.

Turning either DHS or AK into a full day park should be Disney's focus after FLE. I know I may get skewered for saying this...but I think after FLE, TDO should shy away from any more work at MK or Epcot, until DHS and/or AK is fixed. That'll counter Potter more than anything else....because people will be forced to chose between staying at WDW or fleeing to Uni for a few days.

My choice is lucasland. I've long felt Avatarland was ill-conceived, doesn't have an endearing characterization or mythology and it was *never* going to have the draw factor that WWOHP was going to have. Would it have looked cool? sure...that's about it though.

You need draws at DHS and AK that make kids march into their parents bedroom and go "Mommy and Daddy, I *wanna* go here!" (either that or Dad's marching into the parents bedroom and saying to the wife "I *wanna* go here). Avatar was never going to do that.


A Star Wars themed land at DHS could do it. Well thought out expansions with proper E-tickets at AK could do that.

I can not vote on polls like this..... see none of the above.

Disney is not interested in spending millions on their parks, sorry nothing big will happen.

Disney fans are like, Apple fans they do not need to do anything, they know the people will be back.

Lucusland, Just because I'm a Star Wars nerd...

And see, I think as far as things to see, AK is superior to DHS and maybe even Epcot. I hate to say it, but as I've said many times before, Future World is just a mess and a parody of what it once was.

It really comes down to how one feels their dollar is best spent. I, personally, like Epcot and DHS because those parks have rides and attractions - they entertain me, while ALSO providing aesthetics, which help justify the additional cost of a Disney ticket.

When I go to AK, I feel ripped off. Yes, it's a beautiful park and they spent 100x more on the atmosphere than they did in any other park....but it offers little entertainment value for me....and that's the majority of why I pay to go do the Disney parks.

So, as with all things, "superior" is a relative term. If you're all about atmosphere, AK wins (or World Showcase). If you prefer the highest ratio of rides to park occupants, MK wins.

At this point, to address the original topic again, I would much rather they spend money in the first 3 parks - specifically 3, then 2 - and bring them BACK up to par...then focus on making #4 a real park.

If I was a member of TDO and had to decide where to put the money in for an update, I would choose Epcot's Future World.

Universe of Energy has sooo much potential for a great overhaul. I do enjoy the humor and commentary. It gives the attraction a flavor all it's own. However, the film is outdated featuring a jeopardy trapped in the early 90's and a younger Ellen DeGeneres that we haven't seen since then. Kids nowadays don't even know who Bill Nye the Science Guy is anymore. There are great Theatrical moments such as the reveal of the Primeval World, and the interactive Preshow. After the primeval world however, there's not much left to look forward to. You're left so wowed by such an immersive moment then given a dull drawn-out lesson (I know Epcot's about learning but this finale is just unacceptable) EEA is an attraction with fantastic moments. All it needs is a good refilming, a new script, maybe some updates on the dinosaurs, and a solid finale.
Not much to say about the Wonders of Life pavillion that hasnt already been said. Its a festering wound that either needs to be destroyed altogether or redesigned. Regardless, it's empty state is just getting uglier.
Also give the Imagination pavilion some LOVE! It's imagination. There's so much you can do there! But fix imageworks...then imagineer an overhaul!

They need to work on DHS, more than just pixar place.

Scrap F! and design a show that is just for DHS, with a multi-purpose amphitheater.

Redo the all stars theater into an enclosed theater.

New E-ticket ride by ToT.

 

[Susan Savia]

I voted for adding a new country (or two) to World Showcase.

 

[pumpkin7]
