Disney's Empty Theme Park Promises
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 апр 2024
- Disney’s been on a rollercoaster lately, announcing grand theme park projects only to quietly cancel them months or even years later. Over the last ten years, we’ve counted over a dozen projects suffering this fate.

Honestly when it comes to Disney my attitude is "I'll believe it when I see it."
True
Sad but true
So true, and it makes it basically impossible for them to adequately respond to Epic Universe. They cried wolf too many times that it feels like no matter what they announce it will fall flat.
And even when we see it we'll be let down!
That's so funny that's exactly what my girlfriend and I say
Disney doesn't announce things to keep fans happy, they announce things to trick investors to raise the stock prices.
That's NOT true!
@@annien.1727it’s probably at least half true
It’s completely true. If you even halfway keep track of the quarterly stock earnings meetings, you’ll see they make ridiculous statements that never happen right before the meetings. They do this to spike the stock price so they can “honestly” say the stock is on an upswing during the call. For whatever reason the institutional investors never seem to question it. It’s part of the reason why Nelson Peltz was trying to gain board seats.
@@aggiemullins 🙄Oh, please!
Disney just stop announcing anything at all. Take a note from Universal.
It seems like this video should have been shown to Mr. Iger during his AI question time during the share holders meeting.
COGSWORTH: Well, there's the usual things...barstools, E-tickets...promises you don't intend to keep...
All of that's going to change once I get a job at Disney. Things are going to be completely different than they are now.
Barstools will be fixed, and E-ticket prices will be more affordable. Empty promises and woke agendas will be no more.
Disney will make all their promises into a reality, I'll make sure that they will!
@@annien.1727what
I would be okay with a South American land but I don't understand the need to jam so much IP into it. Asia and Africa have very little IP in it so South America should be the same.
It feels disingenuous compared to the other lands.
The company has popular IP that KIDS love why wouldn’t they jam it in everywhere? Lol universal isn’t making epic universe with a bunch of lands about nothing it’s all IP but the center part lol
@the_traveling_texan Bad faith whataboutism. Universal parks have always been heavily reliant on IP since day one.
@@the_traveling_texanat least should make sense putting casa madrigal in animal kingdom would be weird also indiana jones never cared much for animals he was very afraid of Snakes and that is about it
@@the_traveling_texan Why? cause in the past certain countries have said they'll stop the sponsorship if certain things they don't like go in there. That means more money for Disney to find themselves and bad PR too.
I still want to know what the /point/ of Galactic Star Cruiser was. A niche, hyper-expensive 'experience' that doesn't absorb crowds from the Parks OR really draw new people to begin with? Was that it?
It makes me think of the $200K Swarovski crystal Cinderella Castles you'll see one of in a few Magic Kingdom gift shops, except like. The actual size of Cinderella Castle.
Probably didn't help when a bunch of imaginers quit a few years ago. I don't think Disney takes any of their competition very seriously, but Epic Universe is looking amazing. I know my next trip to Florida will be for Universal and Disney will be the side park.
Disney WILL take its competition more seriously once I get to work there! I have a LOT of good attractions planned that'll put Epic Universe to shame!
Your next trip to Florida will definitely be for Disney once I've fixed things there for the better.
Disney will NEVER be the side park for long.
Soon, Disney will be the top theme park in all of Florida again, and Universal will fall into second place!
First time I ever sw the teacup art; thats wild
Looks stupid
right? I'm actually glad they didn't build it.
They need to bring back the Mary Poppins ride and refurbish Spaceship Earth
...and probably put in that multi level, up in the sky desert party structure. That would at least make people feel like they got something new and exciting.
The Mary Poppins attraction in the UK Pavilion was going to be your generic teacup ride. I'm glad they cancelled that project.
@@HannahsHH Me too. I was expecting something amazing and next level. That it turned out to be indoor teacups was a disappointment. I'm glad that one was cancelled.
We don't need Mary Poppins in the UK Pavilion. Not every IP needs representation and Epcot shouldn't have IPs.
No we don't need Mary Poppins. We need less IPs
In terms of recent lost announcements, the overhaul to Spaceship Earth is the biggest. It’s the centerpiece attraction for the whole identity of the park, and it’s been neglected and fallen into disarray.
A bar top on legs-I had never heard that before, but I wish they kept it. It did look cool.
They need Imagineers running things again.
More attractions and less rooms.
To my knowledge there is no other themepark behaves like Disney. Announcing stuff only to cancel it feels a bit insulting. It implies that the average Disney themepark fan is satisfied from mere announcements.
The worst part is that it seems that Disney is punching below its weightclass. Disney themeparks are the most attended and one of the most expensive parks worldwide. Furthermore they have one the most loyal fanbase ever. But Disney seems to be neglecting their parks and sees their customer as walking wallets.
Disney parks were THE place when I was growing up, but I wouldn't want to visit now. It feels like the whole company has been going downhill for over a decade now. To me it seems like the corporation is starting to crash in on itself.
I will never recover from that D23 panel.
me either the horror the scary black ariel moment the horror it will haunt me forever
Once I get to work at Disney, all of that's going to change. D23 will never suffer from that kind of mishap anymore. I'll make sure that it won't!
@@leongay3190??????
Best of luck reaching your suscriber goal - I always enjoy your videos! 😁
They just need to stop announcing project 5 years before they open. Universal has it right, even when all the details have leaked they don't officially announce projects until at least a year before opening .
This means the excitement is fresh, whereas when Disney announces a ride the hype has died and mostly turned into people moaning their old outdated ride is going (ala mission break out, or tianas adventure)
I completely agree with this. Wait until they are absolutely sure it is happening and already under construction before announcing it.
I recently heard the Play pavilion mentioned on the monorail as it circles EPCOT. Maybe they just haven’t updated it yet!
I think universal has watched disneys problems and essentially learned what not to do. For me with how expensive it is to go to Disney and see nothing but under construction for years it turns people off from wanting to go.
Looking forward to the opening of Epic Universe.
Universal has a tendency of hiring former imagineers that were laid off. Islands of Adventure was mostly designed by imagineers laid off by the failure of EuroDisney and Epic Universe got a big boost in the design process when it hired those that were laid off from Covid.
@@Emplordxiii and the people that Disney hires to replace those laid off usually have experience in designing chain hotels and it's really beginning to show in the parks. Very dire.
@@etjulien Not for long. You'll be looking forward to the opening of The Villains' Lair or the reopening of Splash Mountain once I've fixed things at Disney.
And I'm NOT joking. I'm going to make sure that they happen. Those new attractions will put Epic Universe to shame!
@MakBot Not for long, they're NOT. I'm going to work at Disney and make some positive changes there.
Instead of building hotels, we'll be building new attractions and rides. It won't be long before Universal falls into second behind Disney.
There biggest loss is their TRUST....
@Reviewtyme, Tron took longer to build than Tokyo DisneySeas did. Not a debate, a Fact
I am not sure if the timeline is completely accurate, but in the time it took to Disney to announce a build a ride, Universal almost built and completed an entirely new gate, and to make it an even fairer apples to apples comparison, both projects had to deal with Covid closures/related delays.
I wish they would’ve built the really cool festival center with the three different levels and then the rooftop garden that would’ve been cooler than what they put there now which looks awful. Also wish they would’ve built the Mary Poppins section, still hoping they do eventually, I heard the idea got shelved for now, every time they have D23 they always tease us with all this concept art and telling us they could do this, but they should really be saying we are gonna do this like we are going to build this
Spaceship Earth needs the refurb, but I can understand the delay, with so much at the front of the park being worked on, they needed something there to welcome guests beyond building work and closed signs.
"Attraction future", that's a line that'll ring a bell for Disneyland Paris fans. There is this 1992 park map of Euro Disneyland by Sam MC Kim and Stev Cargile. On it we've got the following "future attractions"...
- The Little Mermaid attraction
- Beauty and the Beast attraction
- Discovery Mountain complex
- Indiana Jones temple complex
Of these four only two only partially became reality...
- Discovery Mountain: only the rollercoaster Space Mountain and the Nautilus walkthrough happened, Journey to Centre of the Earth and the Nautilus restaurant did not
- Indiana Jones temple: the dark ride did not happen nor the envisioned rollercoaster, but a initially temporary smaller rollercoaster was build called Temple of Peril (sibling of Tokyo's Raging Spirits), which currently is on its last legs.
Disney is full of empty promises and broken dreams, I hope things look up but Disney has no job openings. 😕
I know I feel discouraged. Hungry and malnourished. In my house with no furnace, unfurnished.
Maybe if you unfurled furry furnishings with a flourish you'd feel further from the fully forlorn future.
Sorry
Not for long, they're NOT! Disney will be full of fulfilled promises and unbroken dreams again once I get to work there! I'm NOT going to stand by and allow this to happen any further!
I'm going to get a job at Disney and improve things there! Even if there's aren't any job openings, I'll find a way to get hired! I'll do whatever it takes to make Disney better again!
I'd say over 30 years of broken promises style announce them early plans is definitely a significant factor in just how bad Disney's rep is with some people right now. There are other factors that are even more significant for some of us too though... Bottom of the barrel rep these days and it is all 100% due to Disney doing it to themselves.
I’ve been watching your videos for a while but never in a million years would I have guessed this is what you look like 😅
I would argue it's not just a "Chapek thing" to raise prices and price gouge... plenty of that going on before and after his 11 months as CEO lol. That said Disney is just lying so much it's impossible to believe anything they say till it's out. Even if they don't cancel a project, it is usually down graded like the recent Toon Town renovations.
The announcements for these undelivered promises came at those upcharge D23 conventions where Disney nickels and dimes fans who go crazy and cheer for these empty promises. Just once, I’d love for Iger’s mic to accidentally be left on so the cheering crowd can hear him scoff “These fans will pay anything hear us lie about what we’re bringing to the parks!”
I'm shocked that Paris is getting a "Frozen Land" before a non galaxy's edge, non sequel related good old fashioned Star Wars land...
Because it's far cheaper.
The Paris park will never get anything unique - just clones to save on cash
4:33 Can we take a moment to mourn how awful that paint job turned out? 😭
It’s over for Disney America, universal is the Top of food chain now in America.
Disney has a painfully slow learning curve when it comes to making promises it can’t keep. “Flowers, chocolates, promises you don’t intend to keep….” Disney, Cogsworth’s words were meant to be a joke, not a business model!!
I hate that all new projects are linked to IPs as well as their success. Since IPs are Disney's only move towards new attractions now its really sad seeing things that probably would have been successful in the parks independent of the properties pull. Build a good ride and people will like it.
Have you ever visited the uk for the theme parks?
Dom has visited Thorpe Park, but that’s it. We want to do Alton, Thorpe, Chessington and others on a future trip.
I hope you guys make it there, love your videos @ReviewTyme
Honestly, the perceived need for IP in every conceivable inch of the parks may be part of the issue; so much concern about which IPs appeal to which demographics, which do well at the box office versus which do well streaming, whether or not to hold off on an idea until the next new movie comes out, etc...try letting the Imagineers come up with something original and just let it fly, because this whole schtick of "we can TOTALLY replicate Potter, you guys, for real this time!" is getting incredibly old.
Which is why Disney can survive on its name and doesn't need IPs. It's not like not having IPs will drive people away. The most successful Disney attractions ever were IP-free.
They WILL. I'm sure that the Imagineers will come up with something far better than a Potter replica. Better yet, once I get to work at Disney, I'll give them fresh, new ideas for new attractions and rides.
In time, Disney will become better than it was before.
They sort of did with CarsLand. It's that same sense of wonder of feeling of "I know this place from a fictional work and now I'm actually here and it's completely awesome and I am fully in the world of the story." Galaxy's Edge was a total failure in that respect.
Disney: Maybe we'll do it...maybe not.
Universal: We will do it!
🙄Disney WILL do it! I'm going to make sure that they DO!!! Universal will be biting its dust before long!
@@annien.1727 🫡 Good Luck
@@therealventures Thank you! I'll do my best!
Disney has to crash entirely. Only with a completley new management can it have a any hope. at this point its dead.
i used to go multiple times a year. i wont ever go again. theyve turned their backs on the fanbase.
they chose this route. doing everything possible to ruin all that was good about the brand.
its only going to get worse
For me it’s simple. They shouldn’t announce anything before construction has even started. People lose their interest if they have to wait several years for something new.
Mustache on point! 👨🏻
Thank you!
Which DreamWorks broken promises for Charles and boss baby for universal
Honestly, taking away free FastPasses was the straw that broke the camels back for me.
Now, I am not going back to Disney World ever again.
You WILL be going back to Disney World again once I've changed things for the better there! Mark my words, I'm going to make some vast improvements at Disney once I get to work there!
I'll even bring back free FastPasses!
This is neither deception nor a joke. In time, with my help and hard work, Disney will be WAY different than it is now! You'll see.
You should lower the background music so i can actually hear you talk
Disney IP fatigue, Disney movie/animation sequel fatigue, Disney fatigue….
It feels like the whole corporation is crashing in on itself.
@@daffers2345 and fatigue had lost meaning
stop saying fatigue that word have no meaning anymore
🙄Oh, stop that! ENOUGH with the "fatigue" stuff!
@daffers2345 It WON'T! Once I get to work at Disney, things are going to be WAY different than they are now. Disney will be greatly improved and will rise back up to the top again! I'll work hard to make that happen!
Muppets studio
I hate the continuation of the tiger era
I’ve comes to learn that an attraction is only going to actually happen at Disney if vertical construction starts and gets too far along for them to turn back
Can’t spell disaster without DIS 😂
Hey!😡 Disney WON'T be a disaster for long! Things at Disney are going to change, and they're going to change for the better!
Once I step in to work at Disney, I'm going to turn things around and make many improvements. Prices will be more affordable, construction will be short and quick, and empty promises will be no more. I'll make sure of that!
As a former DL CM and Lead, it’s disappointing from what I saw on a surface level. Even with all the broken promises with additions to the resort, nothing was as sad as the way the company changed post-pandemic. I really enjoyed my job but I left due to terrible management and lack of care for their attractions, especially the ones I worked at (Monorail had a lot of behind the scenes issues and Autopia just needs a complete overhaul).
Moana can stay at animal Kingdom cuz it's mostly about nature anyway. But Encanto should be at Epcot😊 if it's going to be anywhere just try to keep the IPS where they already are taking Indiana Jones out of Hollywood studios and putting it somewhere else completely makes no sense
A revised version of Ratatouille?? You mean a 99.9% clone of an already dated ride?
We were being generous.
They even kept the original audio 😂
@@therealventures none of this would have mattered if they had plussed with AA's and a few extra effects. But nope.
@itswhatitis277 yeah its not worth the wait in line to ride. And especially now for me, at least, the ride was ruined for me because of the incident that took place a while back with the dude "having fun" the entire ride length.
Luminous isn't that great either,better fireworks than Harmonious but the soundtrack and story are awful.Illuminations was so perfect on every level,especially that soundtrack,that was the most epic musical score of any Disney show,the Luminous one felt like a joke when I first saw the show,especially when they start talking about everyone dying,solution,bring some ear plugs and enjoy the fireworks,Illuminations was also better with that section where world showcase turned to daylight
AAAHHH A VOICE TO A FACE
Epcot got a copy of Paris's 2014 Ratatouille, not a revised version.
Disney has done so much to turn off and frustrate its fanbase. It’s really sad considering how they have been the premier gold standard for theme parks for decades…and how loyal their fans are…and lately it seems to be “we’re considering this….” Or “maybe you’ll like this thing we might do…” instead of any actual solid plans.
That, and the plans they do have have been mediocre or just solid at best. No real home runs….at least not for the US or Paris parks.
Well, Hong Kong approved the expansion money from HK government years ago. Let see what would happen on autopia land eventually.
Oh, all these broken EPCOT promises hurt. They finally commit to the capital expenditure to the long-neglected EPCOT Center (my favorite destination on this, our planet Earth), and they budget reduce and muck up the whole thing. I very much remember saying to myself, “I guess this is how the Disney Decade must’ve felt,” numerous times over the past couple years.
Hey Reviewtyme, I personally think one of their biggest mistakes, which is connected to their overarching current era of mistakes and failures cramming IP into everything without really delivering on any real classic rides, is with Future World in Epcot. Their insistence to remove any and all of the educational attractions is a very sad missed opportunity to turn a family vacation into something of real value. They absolutely needed to renovate and upgrade all over that area, but they really should’ve just doubled down on the attractions being educational and futuristic. Down with the Finding Nemo pavilion!!!
Is no Poppins teacup ride really a disappointment? Not here. Play was lame too. Disney dodging bullets if you ask me.
Okay let me give you the grand gesture of what Bob iger's ego did it bought 20th Century Fox movie Library and other things from them for about 71.3 billion dollars
With them pushing garbage D tier movies like Encanto for a land...and that combined with the low budget Tiana's Rainforest Cafe Adventure...I do not hold out much hope of anything they do anymore...We didn't renew our Magic Keys last year and are not even going this year to Disneyland until 2025 when Haunted Mansion proper...reopens...
thats why when people come up with things saying rumors has it for theme parks im like yeah sure. they took forever with some of the stuff i dont see them doing a butt tons of things to WDW and when it does happen its going to change what was already in the plans. as much as i love Disney lately they just haven't kept promises what is coming anymore. and its sad really.
This year’s D23 seems like the make it or break it year for Disney considering Universal is shoveling dirt every day for its park next year.
Lost touch. Hopefully it’ll be a laughing stock let them eat cake sort of moment.
There's too many to count, but one big promise was droids walking around Star Wars Land and it feeling like a living, breathing world... not to mention they oversold what the Cantina ended up being.
We now have those droids, sort of, but they're still only 3 of them and they must be escorted around so... I dunno. Better late than never, but also oversold on what we ended up getting.
Announcements as Research is exactly what Disney is doing. Because they've discovered that far too many of its projects aren't exciting people. For every Cosmic Rewind, there's a Ratatouille AND a Soaring Over the World. For every Mission Breakout, there's a WEB Slingers AND an Emotional Whirlwind. For every Radiator Springs Racers, there's a Luigi's Flying Tires and then a Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters. Not that everything is bad, but Runaway Railway isn't exactly setting the world on fire and there's gotta be excitement about new things if you want people in your park.
Part of the problem is that people are just getting tired of all the retheming. Mission Breakout is great, but it's not a new ride. Frozen Ever After is not a new ride. Even new rides that share the same ride system - Ratatouille, Runaway Railway, Rise of the Resistance and Rollickin' Roadsters (so many R's!) - all start feeling like the same ride with different paint.
That's why all these announcements with nebulous concept art. Because most of what's coming up with is NOT new and people are hating these attractions in advance. Tiana's Bayou Adventure is the zenith of this but it's not the only case. Moana in AK got the hate mostly because it was obviously an IP that didn't work with the park, but also because it was clearly a rethemed TriceratopSpin and what looked like an underthemed Splash Mountain (in reality, it was an underthemed Shanghai Pirates). Zootopia was hated for taking over a ride system nobody felt fit with the franchise. The DCA Avengers ride was originally going to be Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and when people hated that, it looks like now it's going to be... the Indiana Jones ride system! Imagineering used to create great rides that worked with their theme. Now all they're allowed to do is force themes onto already existing ride systems.
The biggest problem here is Disney concept art is selling IPs and not the rides. Moana, Zootopia and the Avengers are beloved IPs, but Disney is so averse to spending actual money, they'd rather pull these IPs out of consideration than give people the high-quality (expensive) rides they want. That's why I think Encanto keeps getting moved about. Nobody has figured out what it's going to be, so it hasn't gotten the hate, so it's so far survived most of the Public Research phase. Tiana's and AK Indy came out the other side of the Public Research phase bruised and bloody, which is why we're getting all these behind the scenes details now. These are definitely happening, and they are not happy they have to okay so much defense. That's not usually how it works for Disney.
Iger won't shut up about a Pandora West, so it's on the front burner as well. The release of concept art might explain why we keep hearing about it, but no longer anything about Coco or Moana. The Shanghai Pirates idea has clearly transferred to this new land, with the boat ride looking almost exactly like it did in the Moana art. James Cameron is also on record saying he'll create a Way of Water film for the Flight of Passage ride system, so Coco is probably in search of a new idea. Sad that the person pushing Disney to create new experiences doesn't even work for them.
I can't wait to see the fallout of they try to sell Cars Land Lite or another Toy Story Land, as some rumormongers are insisting. I've also got the popcorn ready for when they FINALLY spill actual info about this Villains Land they've been hinting at for two decades. This D23 is going to set the stage for the next decade and I can't wait to see whether we get something fresh or another batch of Iger retreads.
A tonned down version of Galaxy's Edge can't exactly get anymore toned down than the US ones.
Everything they ever announce should be followed through ie only announce it once all the due diligence has already been done, budgeting, layout etc
Sad that many of these things were cancelled; hopefully the avengers eticket gets revitalized - Avengers Campus is so boring
Love your content! Definitely my favorite theme park youtubers.
The removal of Splash Mountain should have also been one of the broken promises.
But, alas, it actually happened. RIP.
Splash Mountain is not closed. Disney lied. I'll be enjoying Splash Mountain at WDW for its 75th in 2046 and at Disneyland for its centennial 2055.
@@stanfordite1 Ah, because they'll be tearing down the Bayou by 2033, because it'll be Disney's own Fast and the Furious. Makes sense to me! :)
@@flintlock178 There is no Bayou happening. And by then not only will all things Tiana be banned in the parks, but by 2033 Galaxy's Edge and Cosmic Rewind will be gone due to Disney being broken up and losing Marvel and Lucasfilm.
@@stanfordite1 Wow, didn't realize Universal somehow had the money to buy both Star Wars and Marvel. Epic Universe must have been a hit.
@@flintlock178 Under antitrust, Capitol Hill will be breaking up Disney. Star Wars is going to be handed back to George Lucas' family and Marvel will be independent again.
dont worry iger and his merry band of yes men will have more broken promises to come
I think the imagineers are imagining too much. They need to use more Engineering
You nailed it on the head. Also, Disney's DEI measures have gotten in the way of good creative ideas, and I believe one reason people are ignoring them.
The only time they did not break their promise and the concept looked like the real thing was the creation of carsland and the Hong Kong expansion
By far the biggest losses on this list, IMO, are the Mary Poppins dark ride at EPCOT & the Main St theatre at MK. Id add Avengers E-Ticket & Star Wars at WDSP too, but I'm sure those will still get their additions eventually (Lion King over Batuu Lite??! Huge upgrade IMO)
EPCOT NEEDS a well-themed flat ride so badly, & Mar Poppins is so woefully under represented at Diz Parks
If you don't realize it Bob Iger is to blame we're using so much money and buying 20th Century movie Library and other channels and Hulu think about it only a doofus would do that what do that that's why you have GD plus and lightning Lane
These NEW promises though?! Haha! I still demand the Mary Poppins ride. Won't go to, much less vlog, WDW until they do it.
I would love a Mary Poppins ride but the tea cups was such a disappointment. I'm glad it was cancelled.
This video didn’t age well 😂. Seeing as al the announcements made just 10 hours before
Why the heck would you put Indiana Jones anywhere in the animal kingdom! That makes absolutely no sense at all...😮 Whatever it is they're taking they need to put it down and get clear headed😅
Snakes are a type of animal and Indiana Jones hates snakes? There's a monkey in Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's a stretch but it's the best that I can come up with if someone is trying to justify it.
Universal has already won the battle.
They announced Tron before construction began and it took 6 YEARS for this one ride to become a reality.
Universal announced a brand new theme park, Epic Universe, in 2019. It is set to open in 2025. 6 YEARS. And it would have been ready is less time but the pandemic delayed construction.
Disney can’t put up a ride in less than 6 years while Universal put up an entire brand new park in 6 years.
Now compare the cost of going to Universal against the cost of going to Disney.
D23 is going to be a bunch of pie-in-the-sky dream announcements-AGAIN-except maybe their commitment to Avatar, which most younger children and adults aren’t even familiar with despite the sequel.
They’re saying 40 years for the Disneyland expansion. 40 YEARS. For one-maybe two-new lands.
It’s ludicrous.
No, it has NOT!!!😡💢 You're dead wrong! Universal has HARDLY won! It won't be long before Disney wins this battle! With my help, Disney will rise back up to the top again!
@@annien.1727 Okay. You get back to me in 40 years when Disney has finished the alleged Disneyland expansion. In the meantime, the rest of us will be enjoying all the new, exciting, & fun things that Universal creates in that time.

@@annien.1727 “This year.”
Sure, gurl, sure.
@@pibbitybibbity Disney is not expanding. Ever. The whole company is going to be trust busted and broken up, meaning all those acquisitions like Marvel and Star Wars will be gone and Disney will be set back decades all the way to the 1980s or even before.
I personally hated the "festival center" building for Epcot and I'm glad it didn't happen.
This is slander against the bar stool on legs and I won’t stand for it
I think Moana, and oddly now the Radiator Springs Racers rumor, would kind of fit with the idea of continuing the US history thing set with Liberty Square being the 1770's, Country Bears in 1792, Louisiana Purchase in 1805 (all though Princess and the Frog is set 120 years later), and Big Thunder is set in territory from the Mexican Secession from 1848. It would make sense to have a Hawaii or Alaska-themed section, since they were territories at the end of the 19th century, then cars are truly a thing of the 50's with the creation of the interstate system. Sure cars still exist and dominate how Americans Travel, but the aesthetics of the 50's just hit different
Yes. You are correct. Cars of the 1950s were beautiful, gorgeous, and the designers could do crazy things simply because they thought it would look cool. 1950s cars are absolutely a unique aesthetic. Rationing was over so they could use all the materials they wanted, and since gas was incredibly cheap, they did not have to worry about fuel efficiency/MPGs.
In order for Disney to make good on their intentions, they first need to succeed at previous ventures. Their previous ventures fail because Disney doesn't learn any lessons. You can't double-down on irresponsible spending with the idea "it will work this time!" We had a chance to get the responsible adults installed on the Disney board, but the touchy-feely people put "want" ahead of "need" so there will be no reasonable budgets. Only more promise/spend/fail while entirely too many die-hard Disney fans cheer it on, themselves also not learning the lesson. Vote with your wallet, and get what you vote for.
Bummer
All Disney does now is ruin their older, more beloved rides with cheap, rushed re-themes.
Disney has a laundry list of problems. Right now, they need to stop losing money. All the parks need expansions and bigger attractions to create pull factors so 3 rides that everyone wants to go on doesn't have either a 3 hour wait, or you dont get to ride it because of a stupid fast pass system that stops people from riding the rides they pay to go to the park for. Magic Kingdom does need a lot of love. But the other parks are rough. Epcot has a need for many more attractions and updating..the futuristic park. As for Animal Kingdom and Hollywood studios...they need the most help. I wont pay to go to Hollywood studios anymore, its a complete ripoff and isnt worth anywhere near the price. Animal Kingdom is nice to see animals, but again, 2 big attractions are the only pull factor. Everest never has a wait because its not great and the river ride you get soaked. A bugs life was nevwr really that big of an IP and Dinosaur is an absolute joke. Its a terrible ride that you basically see nothing. Not to mention your trown around like a rag doll for nothing. Ive gone to Disney many many times and IMO all the parks are way overpriced. However, the only parks you should consider if your going is Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Those are the only 2 you can spend all day and at least feel like you got something for the money you paid.
To those who grumble about the wait times and line ups at WDW, next year they should crumble and collapse when Epic Universe opens, hence 2025 should be a good year to visit WDW but not Universal Studios Orlando. And despite knowing full well what was being built just north of the Convention Centre, Disney has done little to combat this expected drop in their attendance in Florida next year. And they still may wonder what they H#LL happened still. It will likely be an good case study example of arrogance and hubris.
You think so they're both corporations once a cable Corporation and a movie Corporation and the theme park Park all-in-one Universal Hollywood Universal Orlando Universal Japan Universal Singapore does the Universal Studios in China and soon to be a Universal Studios in Great Britain
I thought Disney would try a little harder since epic universe is going beautifully and then universal seem very serious about universal great Britain which will cut into Disneys European domination of the market Disney really does need more or universal will just eat they lunch
That's NEVER going to happen! Disney will NEVER lose! Once I step in to work at Disney, it will become more grand and better than ever! I'm going to make sure that it does!
I don't believe anything the Walt Disney Company says
Walt wouldn't want to be brought back if he was cryogenically frozen. He'd look at the state of his company and go back to the tube. Disney is morally broke, but they sure charge you enough to prop up the garbage they're producing today.
In ten years Universal will have overtaken them. My childhood mourns for the downfall.
Disney+ has eaten up all of their funds.
Disney will NO LONGER make any more broken promises once I step in to work at Disney. Things are going to be WAY different than they are now. Disney will be keeping those promises and making them a reality!
I'm going to put an end to this nonsense once and for all! Less lip-service and more fulfillments! I'll make sure that happens!
Spoken like an anime character. Who are you? 😂
@Teachworth01 A young 27-year-old Disney fan who is going to bring Disney back on top!
You may think I'm talking nonsense when I say that I will make Disney better, but I assure you, I'm NOT! I'm 100% serious about what I said!
You won't be laughing once I keep my word and really change Disney for the better. Disney WILL become great again, I guarantee it! I'll work hard to make that happen!
Don't get excited by their announcements unless the construction of whatever they announce is already in progress visibly. Also, RUclipsrs and all thoes so-called Disney adults must stop reporting everything Disney does. Give them less and less attention and money.
But don’t worry, making magic isn’t for amateurs and the non creatives on the board who were sold as being right for the job will suddenly change direction on all the bad decisions they’ve made the last 5 years
And after I seize Disney in a hostile takeover I will make it great again by promising to undo the entire Iger era and publicly promising to bring back iconic attractions. T here is absolutely nothing wrong with bringing back old attractions its not against any laws.
Yes, Covid happened
Meanwhile against the protest of park management, investors, fans, the general public and the Oriental Land Company (which is why it's not happen in Japan) Disney instead decided to retheme the most popular flume ride in the world from being of a piece of classic Americana based on African American folklore to being themed to a slave island from a movie that was a disasterous flop.
BRO they aint doing nothing except making things BLACK N WOKE
