Disneyland Resort

Is it sad that I 1) didn't even know this was coming and 2) don't really care?

And in other news, Earth is moving on the EGW:

Did they ever recreate the Dragon in some way as of now for Fantasmic 2.0, including the cheaper older version?

No, the finale is ass now, unfortunately.

Pretty much what Jake said, and I feel the Dragon doesn't have a chance of coming back until the show gets a major refurb, which it honestly does need at this point to fix a lot of technical components.

Yeah I was thinking the bone they throw Disneyland at D23 was going to be a new (probably flame-less) dragon, but it looks like it’s going to be a Matterhorn redo instead.

Wow that’s…outta left-field. I figured they would’ve waited until at least the 2030’s

So…technically I am getting my new coaster lol

You know, when you think about it, it makes sense this would align with the Space Mountain redo at the MK. Since they both have similar seating configurations, why not do both. Maybe they’ll throw in Frozen Ever After as a bonus.

When you think about it, a new Matterhorn could very well be the start and/or part of the much-needed Tomorrowland redo.

I think chunks of the Matterhorn have been quite literally falling off for the past ten years, so I think it may be a practical consideration rather than a thematic one.

That’s not to say Disney won’t capitalize on it, but I think they were backed into a corner on this one. Building standards have come a long way since 1959.

To build a completely new and different Matterhorn sounds like total heresy to me.

….but it’s the only option for the king-term unfortunately

I figured this day would come but I guess they gotta do it sooner than later. It’s literally falling apart.

But as someone else has said, this is one of the piece of the complicated puzzle to get moving on the TL redo.

If this alleged Matterhorn redo is going to be as extensive as I imagine, I wonder if the subs and/or Autopia will survive? They’re gonna have to make the Matterhorn slightly larger to accommodate that extra space it’s gonna need. They should get rid of it to put a small Arendelle in there.

To build a completely new and different Matterhorn sounds like total heresy to me.

If they do announce a new Matterhorn tonight (which is NOT a given) it would probably have to be a “we are using the original plans and rebuilding it slightly bigger, with some extra surprises and here’s Bob Gurr to give his blessing” sort of situation to avoid booing.

They’re gonna have to make the Matterhorn slightly larger to accommodate that extra space it’s gonna need.

This is the reason I could see them punting on it again. It would probably be part of a bigger Tomorrowland redo by necessity and I just don’t see them putting that into motion right now with all the other stuff they have going on. Plus, Autopia is going to have some brand new electric motors come January (courtesy of the EPA) and I doubt Disney will want to rip that out so soon afterwards.

Yeah, the coaster is almost 70 years old and while it definitely has its charms, there's no denying it's showing its age, falling apart and when I went in May it was breaking down more than any other ride at the resort.

Not to mention, I think we have another Great Movie Ride and Universe of Energy closing the same time situation as WDW's Space Mountain is rumored for a big redo as well.

So No Dragon, and while I do love the Remember Fireworks. I feel like another Filler year for Disneyland, which means maybe more ticket sales because I don't think these old shows will draw in too many people outside of locals

I was hoping for new verion's of all these shows....and something at DCA but for now they just let a theater sit and because coco we get zero parades

I'm hoping for some discounted tickets around Feb. 2027 so I can go see WoC for my birthday. Fingers crossed.

You should not have an issue

Until the new rides open, I think its safe to assume we will have some sort of deal in the start of the year.

That dragon will certainly come back.
