Epcot (General Discussion)

[Parkscope Joe]

And maybe this was included into the budget for Epcot before the fox deal happened? I hope it happens as Epcot needs more rides badly, but if not because of fox, no big deal as sure pirates ride system tech will show up in future in Disney World at some point down the road.

How could it be part of a budget approved two years ago if it’s being shopped around now?

Maybe a late addition, not sure.

This project will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Budgets just don't have that kind of wiggle room.

 

[Disneyhead]

This is just a rumor at this point, it hasn't been greenlit or budgeted.

But it is an actual pitch.

Personally, I loved the remake; even though I'm in a group that doesn't like the original.

That said, I have to think this leaked out to just to gage a potential spark of attention, to see if it sticks.

That's not how that works.

Yeah, shocker. But it's just not exactly a film I enjoyed in it's animated format. Same goes actually for Cinderella, but I guess those are fighting words right? :dance:

I hope Epcot gets Jungle Book/India, if only to add more to their attraction count. But I'd be fine if it's at DAK.

I don't think it's happening anywhere, if I was a betting man. WDI concepts just getting leaked during fights for budgets.

I would put a big bet down against this. WDW REALLY wants this ride system. It's just a matter of where.

And people in hell want ice water.

I'm not saying it won't happen, but I've been down the "WDW wants this ride bad" road before too many times to assume anything.

Man that is the most unintentionally hilarious location for Brazil

American Adventure is surrounded by the WW2 Axis powers.

In recent history when i've heard heavy rumor like this about a WDW project, it seems to happen way more often than not. That's all i'm saying.

 

[OLSinFLA]

I mean, I would not hate this in the slightest

EDIT: "Based on the 2016 film". Ugh. Never mind.

I dont get the hate for the film. Besides being very very well reviewed (It actually did better with critics and the public than the animated film) and well-received by the public. I enjoyed it (always found the animated version a bit to stick-drawing for my taste), and was really amazed to find out it was basically shot in a warehouse.

The main thing that the 2016 movie has going for it (if a JB ride is to come to either DAK or WS) is that the 2016 movie is grounded in reality in the animation style, much like the both DAK and World Showcase are.

How about we wait for the three other proposed pavilions to be built before we add the fourth.

I’m not talking about pavilions in any way. I’m talking about the Pirates rides System.

Ooohhhh ok sorry my bad.

Again, it’s a pale imitation. It half-assed the songs it did, and most of the performances were half-assed as well.

Also gonna need a source on “did better with the public”

What are the others other than Brazil and India?

 

[OrlLover]

What are the others other than Brazil and India?

Spain was the only other one but I think it was put on the back burner.
