Kathleen Kennedy? Or the CEO of 20th Century Fox that just left? Both are ties to George Lucas.Nope one hint this person has ties to a really huge director more successful than the king of the world

And both have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they can stand the test of time. That's a safer bet than Avatar.After DHS Carsland? Indy will be a twentyfive year old ride, and Star Wars a forty year old movie.
it wouldnt surprise me at all if disney does indeed bail on avatar that it eventually ends up in universal in some form...some folks never learnIf Universal really wanted to show up Disney they could fast track their own Avatar land while Disney is dragging their feet, only using Nickelodeon's Avatar instead of Cameron's. Universal seems to have a good relationship with Nickelodeon and, while I've grown to actually like the idea of Cameron's Avatar at DAK, I think Nickelodeon's Avatar is a more natural and easier fit for a theme park land.
Good!!Nope
She could be the boss at Disney after Iger and that could affect future WDW projects so it ties in with the thread
Yes I competly understand that but I wouldnt mind Star Wars landWell, if she is the successor, I hope to GOD she appreciates and understands the strength and appeal of Disney-created and adapted properties, and won't go looking to outside sources for rides and attractions at the parks. Enough of that crap already. Maybe she'll even bring back Dreamfinder.
to me you cant havent both ways..either you like non Disney properties or not...personally im good with it as long as its Disney qualityYes I competly understand that but I wouldnt mind Star Wars land![]()

i will say this...to me you cant havent both ways..either you like non Disney properties or not...personally im good with it as long as its Disney quality
I like some of this but...I love the scifi theater the way it is..its so much fun everytime! And I don't think pixie hollow fits into animal kingdom at all....animal kingdom to me is one giant beautifully themed park(minus dinorama) but adding that would look tacky to me...idkSo I'm not an insider but I have a good bit of park knowledge and am a former cast member. It seems like what should be simple decisions are being made too complicated.
AK- Why bring in Avatar, why not stick with Disney Characters. Wouldn't Pixie Hollow be a perfect fit in AK. Just down size the Tree to not compete with the Tree of Life. Specially since it got scrubbed from MK. Huge meet and greet with all fairies, and 2-3 smaller rides. Maybe even a fly along with Tink ride similar to Soaring, but with much stronger theming.
DHS- Obviously it needs work. Carland would cause my family to add a day to our Trip, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I would never go all the way to Cali to see it, when I live on the East Coast. I think CARS LAND at DHS is a must. As for the monsters inc rollercoaster idea. I get that they don't want too many over 48" rides, but what about a suspended coaster in which you are in a suspended closed bottom and sides cart that holds 4. Think Peter Pan meets the Barnstormer. Not too fast, but fast enough to entertain adults while still thrilling kids. Remember the old monster sound stage... it was fun. Why not re-theme it Star Wars and show how the special effects are done. How about re-theme the Sci-Fi Drive in Star Wars where you sit in pod racers, the bones are there just re-theme.
Well, that is my rant.

Animal Kingdom is all about nature and preserving it... that's what fairies are all about, they change the seasons, they create rain, snow, water, and they care for animals. However, I do understand why you might not agree. But then again... how does a mythical Yeti tie in, how does a planet other than earth in a story from the future tie in either. What would be nice to see at AK would be some new animals or aquariums (but not as aweful as The Seas has become, when I was a kid The Seas was sparkling and beautiful, full of life. Now it is dingy and green) . Frank, I agree some Jungle Book Tie in's would be great, but imagineering seems to be focused on the newer films and not the "classics". Could you imagine "Bambie" little fawns and deer, how cute.
Just found this on another site, what a great idea. a canoe type Omnimover would be great for Pocahontas ride
AK is a hard fit for a lot of stuff. What about conservation station, it pretty boring. Couldn't they do more there?
I don't think Avatar has any place at any WDW park. Sorry... I know a lot of you are hardcore Avatar fans and might not agree.
I love the Sci-Fi Drive In (other than the food, which is seriously lacking). But if they are looking to add more Star Wars theming it would be an easy change of theme. My thought behind the change was that it would give them the most bang for the buck in re-themeing, not necessarily that I think it needs to be done.
I think looking only at ownership, which so many fans seem to do these days, makes the issue ridiculous for either side. What I think matters is the typology of content. Is the content, be it created by Disney or not, "Disneyesque?" Is it something that people would naturally associate with the ideas of Disney? Even Disney owns content that they do not associate with the Disney brand.to me you cant havent both ways..either you like non Disney properties or not...personally im good with it as long as its Disney quality
