A Roger Rabbit sequel won't be the same without Richard Williams.

Eric Goldberg will do his best to animation for Roger Rabbit sequel.
Orlando getting the half of the plans shelved over the last 5 years brought back to life as a new announcement would be just perfect.

None of those were great - if I recall?
But there are very easy/obvious things that could be down
Redo imagination. Buildout expansion or two in showcase….redo dinoland…connect Hollywood boulevard though animation courtyard and improve some dead weight there…
Maybe time to get Tomorrowland back up to snuff?
None of this is Mensa stuff

Let me be clear, this is not an endorsement beyond me finding it to be comedic. Bleak, but comedic.
Announcing a major new attraction and/or replacement for a removed/crippled attraction in all 4 of the parks before EU opens seems like a slam dunk but I would sooner wait for more realistic things to happen, like single-payer healthcare in America.

Door Coaster, RSR, that Avengers coaster, the Quinjet, the theater, Mary Poppins, Tronway...so many opportunities.

Ahhh…I had almost forgotten about the legendary door coaster
They were wrong to make it only toy story land in Florida. Much better potential/diversion value for all of Pixar to show up

Still needs more 2D animators though.

Well, there is Bruce W. Smith (does the Proud Family original and Proud Family Louder and Prouder), and other animation studios like Warner Bros. Animation, etc....

Well first of all, wide margin is excessive. I've ridden hagrid's in the last two weeks twice and it's not even the best ride at Islands of Adventure by a 'wide margin.' And I definitely think IoA is the best park in Orlando albeit again not by a 'wide margin,' that's midly emotionally driven language derived from a place of bias. It's one of the best for sure, but it has flaws like all the others do. I like the ride so much I don't over readily point them out, and it's new so we aren't too hard on it yet (especially because we Disney fans are a bit biased, seeing Universal as doing what Disney needs to do and viewing them in turn with rose tinted glasses...). But it has marked flaws.
Forbidden Journey still might be better. Maybe not. Splash Mountain and Kilimanjaro Safaris at MK and DAK are certainly on par and when on point are nearly flawless imo. VelociCoaster as an rc is also not to be trifled with.

Thank you.
Anyone who says Hulk is fooling themselves. It's okay to be a coaster person but understand you're being biased and weighing coasters as a ride system with unfair weight compared to other attractions. Hulk is fun but that's about where it stops, with two better launch coasters in that park alone. From someone who's been to Cedar Point more times than he can count.

I like forbidden journey…not as much.
The two older marvel rides are still strong

I rode VelociCoaster and Steel Vengeance at CP both for the first time about a month apart in 2021. I thought VelociCoaster was better. As did 2/3 of the people with me. For what it's worth.

…so what your saying is…
1. We need to wake martin up and get his ninja force skills working…
2. If your point is a “pattern”…you would be very lucky to get more than a new cupcake cart rolled out before 2030

Not unreasonable
I bet primeval whirl is “nothing to see here” for quite some time - however.
The Bob’s have no problems just taking stuff away and acting as if it’s good for everyone
That’s a lot of digging. I’m impressed!

…And I bet your head wouldn’t fit through a standard sized door right now with your name shining so brightly in lights?
(I’m kidding…of course)
This post reinforces why you should never believe the Clickbait site for accurate news. And Jim Hill still gets things right once in a while.
I keep saying this to everyone - Keep your expectations low. The Era of Bob demands it.
