What wouldnt be built today?
- Thread starter ppete1975

I think its amazing and a Disney masterpiece, but for how long the show is and with peoples attention spans (and it can be a bit dry) I just don't see them spending that much money for a history lesson regardless of how amazingly done.
and a resort with surf machines, golf courses and water parks...

Why does the Shanghai castle look like gingerbread?

You don't think the Walt Disney Company wouldn't be interested in capitalizing on their highly-popular Star Wars and Marvel Comics properties? Especially with all of this undeveloped and dirt-cheap cattle-grazing swamp in the middle of Central Florida?

Not the current leadership, no. They don't want to run theme parks.

No, no, you misunderstand, Iger wanted to sell Walt Disney World because he loves it so much. That totally makes sense.

A lot of Debbie Downers in here, lol. Personally I’d go with Splash Mountain for the theming and Ellen’s Energy Adventure for the scope and size it took up.

The only one that comes to mind is the Enchanted Tiki Room. The Tiki craze was only relevant and popular in the 60s. Now it's a dated phenomenon attributed to the Tiki Room and when Greg Brady fell off his surf board.

There is no proof going the IP route increased business.

Perhaps not, but as they have added more IPs they have also raised prices and attendance is rising. I don't think anyone would tell the CEO his plan isn't working when they haven't been able to price people out.

A roller coaster inside a building? Sure, as long as it's IP related. A roller coaster themed on the -outside- so all can see it and it can be iconic??? No. Just put the warehouse sort of behind some trees and call it a day.

They would not build Carousel of Progress or anything like it today.
Very true. The reality is anti-zoo folks are just one of the many very loud but very small minorities in the world. Sadly in today's world too many young people have too much time on their hands and spend it chasing after movements they were brainwashed to believe in before they got all the facts... like the anti-hunting groups that go bonkers everytime some rich fool in America pays to go hunt an elephant or lion in Africa, never bothering to understand that those controlled hunts conducted by the government are the only means to raise money to protect all the other animals that would be hunted by poacher and killed without that money.

They wouldn't have built it when they did either if GE hadn't footed the bill.

The general idea predated the Fair as part of Edison Square. It was desired concept, not something built purely at the behest of GE.

Just to follow up a bit on this: I'm always disappointed when I see the back-side of Everest and you see it's just a warehouse (when you're driving on Western Way). It just shows how much Disney has changed over the years. Space Mountain? Looks like Space Mountain from every angle. Everest? Well, it works if you're in the park or parking lot. GotG? The old show building is cool, I guess (I wish they did more with it so it's not just a "repurposed" building) but there's a huge warehouse plopped down back there.

IMO nothing would be built today the bean counters would be buying up all the crap they have been and more, there would only be Disneyland
