I liked the ride vehicles from Snow White's Scary Adventure... Was like a car made out of the headboards from the drawf's beds. Didn't matter that there weren't any cars in the film, and still worked.Hmmmm... I like @Disneyhead 's idea. Since they already have several omnimovers (SwN, SSE) those are out. They also have two boat rides (Frozen, 3 cabs). Maybe a version of the Pooh ride from MK, but what to theme the ride vehicles? They could do a family coaster like 7DMT or Goofy, but again, what theme for the cars? I'm thinking trackless ride vehicle is the most logical if it is not a flat ride (carousel, flying bears?).
Could they re-route the access road kind of like they're doing for Guardians and France? That gives them a pretty big space, and even good frontage along the guest path for a ride entrance.Small space there. I'm thinking Brave Carousel or Brave flat ride spinner.
What would be classified as a "B Ticket"? Little Mermaid?
I wonder how many times they'll have to explain to people that Scotland is part of the United Kingdom?
Mary Poppins has always had rights issues for Disney. Unless PL Travers estate holders have changed they still are very anti-Disney.
. Take a trip back to a time when there was hope and optimism for what was in store with this park...
I think you're reading too much into it.That video is unlisted for some unknown reason...
It's publicized, but unlisted.
The little part of my brain - the one that's usually not wrong, but tends to get me into trouble - gets the impression that if you someone wanted to judge an affinity and give it real quantifiable metrics that related to unique individuals rather than a broad quasi-percentage representation you'd prevent viral sharing and "organic" growth by having a distinct gateway (direct link which tracks back - that's how youtube works) to see who these people are and where they're coming from and if they're a viable demographic.
Being unlisted prevents the video from being seen by people via automated recommendation, which is how many views are garnered. There had to be an active investigation, investment, and level of trust to follow the link.
And that it's only at 45k views is.. troubling. That number for most other things in a similar listing situation would be quite positive, but in Disney's theme park empire.. I'm really not sure it's good.
What with all the rumours and confirmed attractions coming to Epcot are we feeling that same hope and optimism for the park's future?
My biggest fear of Epcot's future is that Imagination turns into Inside Out. Other than that, i'm fairly content with the direction the park is headed.For me, No. The last time there was a aura of hope and optimism was when Misson: SPACE was under construction, there was legit buzz around it. But then it opened, and all that hope and optimism went out the window.
With what's been announced on coming, it's a mixed bag.
New entryway/center space - It'll be nice and a long time coming, but for me what matters more is what's going on in the pavilions.
Ratatoullie - Out of the new attractions, this one makes the most sense. (The IP fits in with France, it's a legit addition and not replacing something.) The only downside is this trackless darkride isn't in the same ranks as Pooh's Hunny Hunt/Mystic Manor.
GotG - For the attraction itself it's a wait and see on what exactly it'll be, but what we do know is they're doing some mental gymnastics to try justifying it somehow fitting into Epcot, and that's not sitting well with anyone. We know they want to put more IP's into the park, but it's not a good sign if they're pulling something out of their rears just to put one in the park.
Speaking of IP's, right now the rumored IP to get put into the UK is Brave. This reminds me of a scene in the first Scary Movie film where a woman is getting chased by the killer, and she comes across a table with a variety of weapons...yet what she picks up is a banana. Brave is the banana in this situation.
Then of course we have something like Imagination which is in dire state of a upgrade/overall as each new version of the ride has been worse then the previous one. Yet we have heard nothing on what's to happen.
Believe me, I'd love to have hope and optimisim for the park's future. But not all the right moves/additions are happening for me to do so.

I'm not sure what type of ride either, they don't have a ton of land to play with there so it'll likely either be a Fantasyland-style busbar or a flat.I'm fine with BRAVE provided it's not just a "book report" ride retelling the story of the movie. If they use the characters to explore Scottish lore and tradition, then terrific.
But I'm still not convinced it's going to be a dark ride.
