Agreed. Perhaps short term it will be great for the resort, but I'm worried that over time, the land won't be able to adapt to remain relevant for future audiences.
Exactly.
I just want another Pirates or Mansion. But that’s not going to happen anytime soon, or ever at this point. All that land and it’s all going to Star Wars.
It’s sickening.

I was hoping you would see this!
I forgot to mention in the other thread that it’s seems as normal and okay for the original thread creators to bump their own threads. Here’s an example.

That's the dream, isn't it. Or even another Big Thunder or Space. Just a good, original ride that endures for decades.
Let's see if Battle Escape has a segment that becomes as iconic as the stretching room. Or something as surreal and immersive as the caverns in pirates.

Maybe this isn’t real. Tomorrow we’ll all wake up and go out for Big Thunder Barbecue, pet some goats, and do some arts and crafts in the festival arena while a train chugs by. And then we’ll sit at Hungry Bear restaurant on a rainy day and look down the river and lose ourselves in the view of the big, endless wall of trees. *sigh*

I want rides that have original music instead of movie scores *sob*
The petting zoo was one of my favorite attractions. Big Thunder Ranch in general was a gem of an area, quite charming and completely fitting of the park.
I miss this!!!!
Throw this entire project in the garbage.
Not only for just two attractions, but for ONE WHOLE FRANCHISE.
I’ll take anything, at this point. I’m desperate. If it means another Journey Into Imagination, fine.

I’ve mentioned this before, but I really do think the land—with its non-movie-specific rockwork and layout—is designed in such a way that it actually *could* be rethemed, keeping the ride systems and infrastructure, into something along the lines of Discovery Bay...in the unlikely event that Disney actually does manage to make the whole world lose interest in SW. They’ve already killed my interest in the current mess of a trilogy they’re wrapping up, but I’m still looking foreward to SWGE. I think they’ve been wise to go sci-fi generic with the overall look. The land seems adaptable to just about any future scenario regarding SW’s popularity.

I don't know about that, but Indiana Jones the ride always gave me that sense of vague non-specific re-themeability you're describing. Even in paraphernalia promoting the ride before I experienced it in real life, it never screamed Indiana Jones. They might have thrown in a guy in the suit or a big rolling ball, but it's extremely loose in its theme so that it could easily ditch the licensing.

That's why it's one of the best themed attractions ever. It's not a book report. It's just a ride that captures the feeling of the Indiana Jones IP.

There are no Nazis or anyone for Indy to fight or shoot with his gun. All he does is hold back a door with the Aurora Borealis behind it. It feels more like an Aladdin ride through the cave with Jafar as a snake.

I really don't understand why they didn't keep the Thunder ranch area or at least an eatery. They have this huge piece of land that they filled in with dirt between the fantasyland entrance to this new land and the existing backstage road. Why not use tht area for a nicely themed frontier themed bar-b-que eatery. They could have even made a mine themed eatery inside a cave and still have the dirt and landscape barrier placed over the structure. Another building like the Fantasmic storage building would have been easy to fit in that area and it would have backed up against a service road already.
There seems to be plenty of room,
The red could have been the sitting area and the orange a kitchen and storage area. The green is the existing service road. for a park that is slowly loosing places for expansion I would think that WDI and TDA would look at projects and see where they can utulize areas for storage and/or guest areas. They have proved to us that they can do a great job in overlapping projects like the Fantasmic building which is hidden under a lush garden area and great rockwork.
Plenty of room too for the small goat petting area.
