Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm angry about this or anything, I save that for when they destroy Epcot's potential. It's kinda clever really, a creative solution to a theming problem that relies on the actual backstory and mythos established. Iger never said anything factually incorrect...

Bold is mine.

They showed some art/diagrams that I think explains how they will achieve the "riding on a living banshee" thing. To me it seemed like you will straddle a kind of teched-out seat that has been (in story) developed as part of the Avatar program. You'll wear a set of goggles (looked like an...

I'll be the first to say no, just no. I completely apologize if my previous marvel posts in any way brought about the ridiculous ideas that were just posted. Let's get back on topic.

The characters would provide the recognizable element. If we really must dangle the carrot of familiarity in front of the sheep, pardon me "guests", to get them to want to go on rides, then all the marvel characters that regularly live in/explore/interact with these worlds would be the draw, and...

I'm growing more and more concerned that Iger and Chapek's ideas about cutting waste at WDI is becoming about cutting away what they consider to be unnecessary theming. "All the details take to long and cost too much, do we really need them?" I'm getting the sense from talking to a few people...

Good to know that the only places theme park goers can find palatable are places they've already seen.

I'm not in any way in favor of even a temporary overlay to ToT, but I do think you are wrong about Marvel not having good locations that would be interesting in a theme park setting. Here's a small list: Wakanda - A kingdom in Africa ruled by the Black Panther, thought to be one of the most...

Not to derail the thread, but I feel the need to point out that this story often gets repeated, but I have the sense that it's not quite true. From concept art that is floating around out there, and descriptions of how Dragon Tower at AK would've played out, it beared only a superficial...

As has been said, every fandom has adult sides to it, you seem to be mistaking these aspects of the fur fandom for making up the entire scope of its interests. Much of the fandom is about clean art, writing, music, and costume making. There is a strong sect that are into competitive dance...

I feel that by the time the new land opens, Jedi Training or some new interactive show like it will have a new home that will fully intigrate with the theme and story of the land. For that matter, I would not be surprised to see Star Tours go down once again for a full exterior and interior...

I don't know if what he says is true, but John Landis seems to think Disney will be releasing the theatrical cuts soon:

Perhaps I was misinterpreting what was being said at D23, but I was under the impression that Season of the Force would be starting this year actually, right around when the new film debuts and Launch Bay opens. I could then see it continuing through the dead months that Frozen Fun took over...

Personally, I find the idea of WET and Cirque being involved fairly suspect. WET was meant to build/design World of Color, but early on in the process there was some sort of fall out. One thing that was rumored at the time was that WET disliked things Disney wanted to do with the show, like...

The song is by Lebo M, who worked on the music for the Lion King. I believe all the true African music in the film is his. He also worked on an album called Rythm of the Pridelands that featured music inspired by and at times cut from the film. Most of the music on the album was reworked into...
