D23 Expo 2017 - News & Speculation

[Scott W.]

That seriously should make Universal really reconsider the whole "Holding announcements to the chest" plan they've been doing.

Disney just established the line.

This really is taking it to the next level.

Should we be expecting a response From Universal sooner than later?

God, I hope so.

Well….I'm not excited about whole Pixar Pier, but I was orally against the GotG/ToT switchover and it turned out great. It might surprise me but….nobody asked for this. Why fix what isn't broken? WHY?????

 

[WAJAS]

DL really got the butt end of the deal this time. Pixar everywhere it can be and some places it shouldn't.

 

[rhino4evr]

So...that was exciting.

It's about time...DL has been getting the fair share of love for too long. I'm happy Disney has decided to plus its most popular theme park for a change

California Adventure has no place to expand beyond what is going to be used for marvel land. They are going to have to change stuff to offer "new" things in the future.

I don't even understand this Pixar push. Disney has owned Pixar for years now. It's not new. Why the sudden change? And Pixar Pier... oof. I hope they keep the aesthetics mostly the same, just changing the themes to Pixar. Otherwise it seems unnecessary, and I'll miss the classic Disney theme.

Looking at the concept art, it doesn't seem as brash as it might suggest. They haven't said anything about it, but I'm really hoping we'll get some new flats out of this.

EDIT: I just realized something: How are they going to get Little Mermaid to fit? She's not Pixar.

 

[UniversalRBLX]

So a thrill coaster based of Pixar? This should turn out interesting...

If Bug's Land closes, we'll definitely see some of its rides move to Pixar Pier. Possibly in the Maliboomer spot.

I was just gonna say that! This fuels more speculation for Bug's Land closing since this will act as the replacement.

 

[Imperius]

Orlando is going to be lit in the next coming years.

So, I'm going to attempt to be positive with my overall thoughts concerning the WDW announcements: I think TRON and Ratatouille will be very good additions to their parks.

Here end my positive thoughts.

 

[GadgetGuru]

Can we expect an emergency podcast sometime soon? That is, for all the people who's heads didn't explode from excitement

Seriously?

 

[Mad Dog]

God, I hope so.

If Universal thought they could take their good old time with new attractions & lands, this just about forces them to move their timelines up so they don't lose the momentum they've achieved in the last seven years....Get those wrecking balls ready.

Much like Universal changed the game with build first announce second...but times have changed and what's old is new again


So Brazil is for sure 2019 now

 

[belloq87]

Seriously?

I was being just slightly tongue-in-cheek, but I have some deep, profound concerns about both the Mickey ride and the Guardians ride, and am irritated by the way they're trying to pass off what they're doing in Epcot as somehow "staying true to the original vision."

I get that last part. It's pure bs, but marketing will be marketing.
