The main thing is they come out every year in December to compete with Star Wars which is why people aren't going to go see them.

Not if they're PG-13

By the time the next movie comes out, a ten year old will be old enough to see a PG-13 movie. By the time the 4th comes out, I almost think someone not born yet will be old enough.

*Catches up with everything, including more word that the boat ride is screens a go-go with the only AA in the queue*

Well, that boat ride was the only thing I had a shred of intrest in and now it's gone. (Can't say "But Shanghai Pirates.." since for me what looks the best in that attraction are the AA's. Something we keep hearing is NOT in this ride itself.) Good job Diz, this is the first theme park land I just can't get excited for.

You do realize the AA will be in the ride, not the queue, right?

Question- How many kids under the age of 12 have even seen this PG-13 movie from 7 years ago and are familiar with it. My guess is, not many.

How many of them have seen "Song of the South"?

I kept seeing reports it's in the queue, though even if it is in the ride it's not going to change my current opinion.

I think this is a big wait and see. All these "reports" tend to be just that. Even that recent Frozen ride which was supposed to be "so cheap" actually had a fair amount of AAs and budget. I think people seem to be overly pessimistic when it comes to Disney.

I really enjoy Disney to this day, but they've brought the pessimism on themselves. They were stagnant for far too long and it's been a long while since a truly innovative ride has opened at WDW.

I get what you're saying because I think this area will be cool, but WDW has also given people no reason to be optimistic for quite some time now.

Animal Kingdom was my favorite park at one point and it's still one I enjoy tremendously. Sad to hear it's one most people tend to skip but maybe Pandora will help turn that around. This really is the first new land and true creative output we see from Disney in the Orlando parks since...what.. DAK opened in '98?

Unfortunately.

It's sad seeing something that you loved growing up be hung out to dry for so many years.

I agree that Disney has to try a bit harder due to their lack of action for almost 2 decades, but I really think they are starting to come around

They are, but I think for many people part of the issue is it took so long for them to respond to Hogsmeade in 2010. From 2017 to about 2020ish, Disney has some big stuff on the way.

For many though I think it's sort of like (to use a video game reference) if you're playing Halo as Master Chief and The Covenant is shooting at you relentlessly, you manage to survive the attack, and then you come back with a few huge blows to pass the level. Sure, you're moving the goal post a little bit from your opponent, but you didn't really prove yourself or do anything convincing to make people afraid of you. It just happens that you're still Master Chief so everyone loves you.

A large part of animal kingdom was supposed to be taking time to view the animals. I guess people don't really care so much about that though.

It haven't written it off yet, believe me I -want- to get excited for this. But personally for me it's hard to get excited when there's been one thing after another that diminishes expectations, not what I wanna' see from a billion dollar land that's quite a bit more expensive then lands which I am excited about.

In no way is the boat ride the mega E that Shanghai Pirates is however the tech and majesty will be impressive and the queue authentic. The Main E in my opinion will be an experience not found anywhere else.

While all this could have been done at 500mil, and the Billion price tag is bloated for sure, if one goes into it not knowing the final costs its hard to believe, from what i've seen, they will leave disappointed.

I could be wrong on this but maybe it's the whole zoo thing. We have an awesome zoo here in Cincinnati and another awesome one up the road in Columbus. $100 to go a zoo down there vs $15 up here is hard to swallow.
