[Scarletwebslingr]

If Studios is getting a revamp, howz aboot this for an addition?

Would never happen in a million trillion years, but I would be more than delighted.

Remember Alf? He's back in audio animatronics form! Why he's in a Gremlins ride I cannot comprehend. That ride looks about what I thought the Great Muppet Movie Ride would be like and I think would still make a great addition to the Studios.

Walt Disney World should have NO clones. It's not as regional as all the other Disney Resorts. Few people are going to visit DLP and HKDL, or Disneyland and DLT. The fact of the matter is those parks are meant to be more of a regional Disney despite them having a significant pull. Walt Disney World, should be a Mecca, and isn't just pulling people from East of the Mississippi but is a international tourist destination.

In response to the closed door meetings at DAK, I would have loved to been in those meetings. I don't know Staggs or anything, but I would hope that someone is finally getting serious about WDW, primarily the parks. Something has to happen eventually or else they will continue down a slippery slope that they can't stop immediately. I know UNI/SW/LLF, etc. will never reach WDW-level, but I'm sure the narrowing of margins will alarm many. And it is already happening. They have grown complacent.

Something is going to happen. I have to imagine WDI is pushing big time and some of the larger shareholders are definitely getting involved in some discussions, including I would have to imagine, the second largest shareholder for WDC.

I have to disagree. Some people only visit WDW and have no idea that Little Mermaid or Midway mania are already at DCA. I will admit however that there have been too many clones recently point being the two rids I just listed, even though I assume LM was designed with FLE in mind. WDW is the mecca, it shows off every part of the other parks and a bit more and most travelers won't know that this s anything but Disney.

RSR shouldn't be clone. It's supposed to be DCA's headliner. The thing that makes it the new park it is. Cloning it diminishes how big of a deal the redo was

I agree. I rather new experiences be developed, even if it means I'll have to buy a plane ticket to experience it. Transformers coming to USF, for example, basically makes another trip to USH unnecessary.

Of course there are people who visit only WDW or Disneyland. My point was that it's more likely for people to have visited Disneyland and Walt Disney World than it is for them to have visited Disneyland and Disneyland Tokyo. Clone all you want at regional parks but Walt Disney World is supposed to be the flagship of the company. Which I'm well aware is ironic considering they don't treat it as such.

So...I don't know the validity of this, so I hope Spirit pops his head in and has something to say about it.

Rumors have been swirling that Disney may be interested in buying LucasFilm. Again, dunno how legit it is so don't get overly excited. But I figured I'd share.

Sounds massively untrue. LucasFilm works with practically all major film studios on their movies. If it were to happen, I assume it would mean that some of the best visual effects and special effects people in Hollywood who work for LucusFilm can now only work on Disney movies.

Also, I don't see the connection between this rumor and DCA's redo???

This thread is about DHS.

 

[Octobers Fade]

To buy Lucasfilm would be crazy expensive...

 

[BJCool]

This thread is about DHS.

LOL, I couldn't read the thread title correctly... :bonk:

 

[shiekra38]

I say ditch LMA and Backlot Tour and replace with Star Wars and Pixar area..

 

[JungleSkip]

Cars Land is coming to DHS, via WHylightbulb at Magic. LMA will be going for it, as well as some of the Backlot Tour

 

[Brian G.]

Cars Land 100% or Pixar Expansion with some Cars Land elements?

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Some of the Backlot Tour? That's like... ALL OF THE BACKLOT TOUR!

 

[JungleSkip]

He's only said Cars Land. Hasn't really expanded upon that.

Some of the Backlot Tour? That's like... ALL OF THE BACKLOT TOUR!

Yea...it would take up a ton of room. Really hoping this isn't the extent of this project.

Agreed. I'd welcome RSR, but I'd rather them expand on and include some of the other Pixar properties. *AHEM INCREDIBLES*
