It’s like “Zootpoia” is challenging me to a duel! It’s staring deeply into my soul.I have grown rather fond of it and hope it's left uncorrected!It could be Steve's way of registering a British objection to the film's US title (it was released as Zootropolis over in the UK).
In.
Sorry, the joke was no backwards as a typo in response to if it will be fixed. I failed.
Good joke!
Theme parks, much like movies (or books, music, etc) were/are largely designed by professionals who understand the intricacies of making a compelling product in a way that regular guests like myself are not expected to know or care about. Animal Kingdom has the fewest rides of any major theme park in the United States, yet it has the third-highest attendance… that is a product of a strong design that goes beyond “Animal! Ride! New!”
While I agree that Dinoland's days are numbered, I bet if Avatar: The Way of Water does well at the box office Disney may prioritize a Pandora expansion over Moana/Zootopia in Animal Kingdom.
At the risk of continuing to beat a dead horse, what percentage of parkgoers do you think could explain the cohesive theme of Animal Kingdom? Or have even thought about it? I think to Joe Average, it's somewhere between a glorified zoo and a Disney park about animals.
I hope they aren't relying on a net 0 ride gain to get people to stay there that much longer.
Disney doesn’t make decisions that quickly and Moana will already have entered construction before they make any such decision. Zootopia is further off so its status could certainly change.
They're not supposed to have to. It's not something you think about, it's something you feel. Adventureland *feels* different than Tomorrowland, even if Hawaiian parrots don't really have anything to do with the Florida Citrus Growers.
Then why don't people go to the far cheaper amusement parks and zoos that are easier to access?
Looks like a flume ride with drop and I don’t think that tech would work for such a ride type.
everything i learned in life, i learned from a queue!
There’s definitely some truth to this. The subconscious is programmed to recognize patterns, so it picks up when multiple elements conform to a unified theme, creating a sense of satisfaction for the guest even if they aren’t fully aware it’s happening.
I was wondering that from the concept art, as they make it seem as if the boats can move in different directions, rather than being bound to a track. But (a) as @doctornick mentioned, I don’t know if they are able to make that tech work with drops, and (b) it’s always dangerous to try to glean things from concept art, especially when it’s explicitly presented as “blue sky”
After more thought and explanation about the Moana portion, I’m actually somewhat excited for that portion if all we are losing is the spinner and Chester and Hesters, then I can really get on board if they do it correctly (you saying they are having small animal exhibits is a big start imo). However, the Zootopia portion replacing Dinosaur, Restaurantosaurus, and Boneyard I still can’t get on board with. Hope they change their minds on that one.
