High maintenance cost + Disney not seeing it as worth the cost.Does anyone know the reasoning for its removal or does Disney just enjoy being spiteful?
Old ride-- why keep advertising? Also, it's the last of those billboards they had on property (Mission Space, It's Tough to be a Bug).Does anyone know the reasoning for its removal or does Disney just enjoy being spiteful?

Of course it could be a sign that ToT is about to get a retheme announced. A retheme of ToT and RnR would be a (relatively) quick and easy way of adding "new" attractions to counter Epic Universe for 2025, basically creating some kind of new miniland at that end of the street.
Not compete with as much as offer SOMETHING new to counter. Kind of hard to get people excited about visiting the property with no new attractions.Unless they use a Star Wars/Marvel IP, there's no way a reskin competes with EU.
ReviewTyme did a video the other day that I think sums up where Disney's at. They aren't worried about EU even though they should be.They are letting their arrogance get to them again and they are going to have to learn the hard way (by losing more market share) that they can't keep getting by on name and nostalgia alone.Not compete with as much as offer SOMETHING new to counter.

I feel like we’ll be lucky to get the Play pavilion by 2024-25 at this point, let alone anything not yet announced.Now if they announce a few new rides for DAK, and at least one for DHS along with maybe a retheme of RNRC, then now we're talking a bit more. However, none of those attractions will be done in time for 2025, so you'll have to fill that time with creative ways. A retheme of Splash, retheme of RNRC, New parade at MK (preferably an electrical parade), new fireworks at MK, Peter Pan's Flight long-term refurbishment give it some much needed love and update the ride (like DL's), new nighttime show at DAK, etc. I can see (in my dreams likely) that stuff being done from 2024-25 while they work on building attractions at DAK and DHS.
Yes they’re playing the long game, as they’re still, and always will be, the biggest player in town/in the world.I just wonder if their strategy is just low cost investment, take in the cash, and have that $ to “respond” and invest in said response to EU. They’re playing the long game I think. I don’t think they like spending $ and won’t unless they utterly must lol
I mean, closing down RNRC and giving that a retheme really shouldn't be something that takes long if they went that route, even for Disney.I feel like we’ll be lucky to get the Play pavilion by 2024-25 at this point, let alone anything not yet announced.

They had to knock down trees, build a building for that, and create a Poppins facade so while it was only a Carousel, I believe it would've been more extensive work than a simple retheme. It's a building that exists, a ride that exists, the queue exists, everything is there. Just gotta change out the theming.They cancelled a carousel lol
Ya, more extensive but also not much, imo. For the money they make lolThey had to knock down trees, build a building for that, and create a Poppins facade so while it was only a Carousel, I believe it would've been more extensive work than a simple retheme.

Back in 2012 , Test Track was open until April 14th and the ride reopened with the changes less than eight months later on December 6th. It can be done.
