"Practise safe Lunch, Use a Condiment"

Oh man, I should have seen that coming.

And condiments tend to increase fat content, that's not safe! So please everyone, when using a condiment go for one that is light.

I wonder if he only owns one pair of pants, socks, underwear and a shirt...

Your directing that to the wrong person. I am calm and civil. My comment was not yelling or negative. It was a simple statement explaining the options you have.

That's assuming the thoughts have to be in line with you to be a hardcore fan.

If things don't change at the parks, what is the incentive to come back? Different parts are interesting to different people, and tastes change over time. What was fascinating technology to those visiting in the 70's is standard to the kids of today.

From what you're saying, we shouldn't have Splash Mountain, Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, Monters Inc Laugh Floor.

And if that's the case, Mickey's Toontown Fair is no problem since that wasn't there on opening day either. We should put in the park only what was there on opening day, then never update or change any of it.

not many are more hard core then I am.

CptnSkippy wrote:If things don't change at the parks, what is the incentive to come back?

To revisit your favorite attraction. NOT to revisit the part to see your favorite attraction demolished and replaced with (insert new crappy attraction here).

Adding Splash Mnt was fine all thought it did demolish the original Frontierland train station, it did not hurt anything else. they did not tear down Thunder Mnt to make it Splash Mnt. As for Buzz and Monsters inc, your very right in saying we should not have them. but if they were a MUST build, there is enough property at WDW to add and add and add and not run out of room. the is NO REASON to demolish a classic to create anything new. Then people that love the classics can still visit them and people that love the new can visit them. It's a win for all. Disney can still charge their $100/person admission and everyone is happy.

See above.

We seem to be using different definitions for terms. I'm using standard Disney terms and their standard definitions. Toontown is a Land, while rides (Goofy's Barnstormer), shows (Mickey's Philarmagic), and the like are Attractions.

So lets not fix it. Lets just tear it down.

Toontown is really showing it's age, especially backstage, and not in a good way. The buildings themselves just weren't built to last a long time. The best solution is to tear it down and rebuild it.

The play ground is being MOVED to another location. Pooh is going to have a rather LARGE plot in the new expansion.

Really? I haven't heard that. I'll have to ask around and see what I can find out. Someone in my area ought to know about that considering I am a Fantasyland Ops CM.

It may keep bringing new visitors, But the true hard core fans that helped make the park what it was will never love the new parks.

Again, Walt himself wanted the parks to change. He didn't want everything to remain stagnant. Change is important, it brings new guests to the park and gives people a reason to come back. In the end it all boils down to what makes the most financial sense for the company. Disney is a corporation in business to make money.

Yes there is plenty of room on property to build new things without tearing down old things but it wouldn't make financial sense. It costs a lot of money to build, operate, and maintain attractions. Not the least of which is the pay of the CMs to run the rides. Also, there's just not much room left in the MK to expand. About the only available space of large enough size within the berms is the old 20,000 Leagues lagoon, which has been empty for many years. That area is where the Little Mermaid attraction and the Beauty and the Beast restaurant will be built.

The expansion will be a very good thing for WDW. Dumbo, a classic, is doubling in size which will help a LOT. That attraction is always very busy and has a very low hourly ride count.

Ok, fine Mickey's House, Minnie's House, Donald's House, and EVERYTHING elee that makes up toon town are ATTRACTIONS. ALL being torn down.

But they are not doing that, they are tearing it down and replacing it.

See the disney parks blog they posted a video about it last week.

Don't EVEN bring Walt into this If he were alive today he would fire every employee that worked for Disney Co. Walt's vision of Disney died along with him.

Oh Please, financial sense. HA HA HA Disney throws away more money each year then you and I could ever imagine.

Yes, a few of the things coming with this expansion are long time needed, like the Dumbo change. But most of it is un needed crap just being used as an excise to tear down classic attractions.
