I think these people should look at the attractions that opened while Walt was alive. There were a lot of IP activations — or worse, corporate activations.A lot of people are getting some fatigue over all new attractions based on IP’s with no original attractions to be seen in a bit.
Yea... museums are A LOT cheaper for admission. And they have the annual "free day" every year!Disneyland isn’t a museum
And get this: in some countries, museums are free! Imagine that.Yea... museums are A LOT cheaper for admission. And they have the annual "free day" every year!
Journey to Atlantis has proven you can hobble a ride by a lot and still have the core experience be good. They're not changing the ride itself, only everything else around it—not to make sound sound easy either. The real test will be how it's received once open but it does appear they're not trying to phone this one in.The major feeling I had after riding Splash is that I always exited the attraction with a Big Smile on my face. I think Tiana will do the same.
It's tricky for theme parks I'm sure, between trying to keep rides around forever because certain guests want to come back and experience them even decades later (and create new memories with family and friends) and needing to build new things so the park as whole doesn't feel stale. As much as I like Diagon Alley I still wish we had Jaws sometimes too.For a while now a lot of AP’s and die hard theme park fans wanted to keep the orginal type attraction ideals alive as that is how these parks originally opened (Small World, Haunted Mansion, and others.) But recently we have been seeing the obvious interest in making new attractions based off their own films and IP’s (Webslingers, Rise of the Resistance, and Flight of Passage) A lot of people are getting some fatigue over all new attractions based on IP’s with no original attractions to be seen in a bit.
Point is I think Tiana is the beginning of just trying to make everyone happy, YES it’s based on an IP but it’s an ORIGINAL story. Honestly not a bad compromise, hope the execution is good.
It's funny you say that because in some ways you can view theme parks as a living museum of sorts particularly when it comes to older attractions. They can be good snapshots into the past of how rides were designed and operated and show off the creatvie minds who built them in a way books, videos, and pictures cannot. Haunted Mansion and Small World are good examples of "museum rides," and if kept fully operational in another 10-20 years Rise might be another one.Disneyland isn’t a museum and it’s good to be open to change. (Even if the change is, at times, a downgrade, of course)
The marquee will be before you go under the train station just like with Splash, but Splash Mountain also had a logo sign on that barn building. The "Main Entrance" sign is very odd. I'm assuming it's because of the restaurant theming?Not me excited to see a big marquee with the ride's logo and instead getting a sign that literally says "Main Entrance."![]()
Pretty sure it relates to today's shareholder meeting (I might have that wrong) having been used in the past to announce opening dates for Galaxy's Edge, Ratatouille, and TronI hear they are announcing more info about dates today, is there any fire to this?
