All I want guys is predictements on IJA that's all,just predictements. That's not to hard to give is it??? + I'm trying to be completly nice about this. I started this topic because I wanted your guesses and predictions on IJA. Now let me cut to the chase, Lynx,SirGoofy,KaliSplash,Tomm4004,dxer07002,etc. All of your guys predictions and then wel'll just wait and see what happens. As for me I'm going to say I think it'll come because an E-Ticket attraction for IJA is 100% worth the money to build next to LMA. I'm not trying to be a complete moron either,I really would like to see it come for most of you that have'nt been on it at DL. My point is also you can make the EMV vehicle a whole lot newer and futuristic then DL's one + the storyline should change/the theming + track layout will have to be totally different from DINOSAUR since everyone thinks it's so similar.
If an Indy base attraction comes the percentage that the attraction will be a clone of the IJA in DL is higher than it being original. When will it happen, I don't know and to be honest, I don't think the upper management knows either. The reason being is because; I don't think they have even made a decision yet. Disney just dumped a bunch of capital into the parks, they want to sit back and analyze what is the best course to go next. Indy may be an option, it may not.
Having said that, clones are the easiest, lamest, pathetic and most cost effective way out of making something new and original. Even if I have never been on IJA, and was never planning on going to Disneyland, I still would not want the attraction. Just knowing that the attraction is 10 years old and there are other ways to tell an Indy story makes it undesirable. I know that most people that want it to come only because don't plan on going to DL, however, I guarantee you that these same people would be disappointed after they rode it a few time and thought how much better it would have been if they got an attraction that was more state-of-the-art. The only time I think cloning is a good idea is when you in the situation DLP is in. WDW does not have financial, or attendence problems. WDW does not need to clone.
Or let me put it this way, would you be happy to put CTX as the next thrill attraction in MGM. A lot of people don’t think CTX is a great attraction; it is a fun attraction one worth riding, but nothing that blows your mind. Now Indy is the same exact thing right down to the layout, only a different theme.
Jay, the point that I am trying to make along with everyone else is not if or when IJA is coming, but whither an IJA clone is the best idea, rather then an original Indy attraction. You are stuck on page 3 and we are on page 392, come and join us.
