New Attraction in WDW - Public Choice

[DisneyWorldExpert]

If Walt Disney World chose put a ride from Disneyland/Disney's California Adventure and you had to choose, which one would it be?

[Rence]

Matterhorn

[dbm20th]

Probably Indy.

[2Xited4Disney]

I would rather the immagineers come up with something themselves rather than a knock off but probably Indy... I realize it is the same track as Dinosaur but it blows Dinosaur out of the water... but there is no smace in adventureland. The only possible location would be where the mcdonalds fry cart is, where the parades start from. If that could be located that there would be plenty of room

[mitros]

Another Indy vote. :thumbsup2

[daber]

If you hadn't limited it to the CA parks, I would say Cinemagik from the Paris Studio definitely needs to go into the FL Studio park. Great special effects, good tribute to movie history and magic.

[MJMcBride]

Probably Indy.

I agree.

[raidermatt]

Heimlich's Chew Chew Train. That way those who don't get to visit DLR can know what they are missing in DCA.

[DC7800]

Heimlich's is a good choice, but couldn't we just bring Superstar Limo back?

[MJMcBride]

I would rather the immagineers come up with something themselves rather than a knock off

Its nice to know there are still dreamers out there

[Mecha Figment]

unfortunatly the budget doens't allow for them to be to creative. it took years of planning and pushing just to get the pirates refurbishment. and it helped the movie was so succesful.

[YoHo]

Heimlich's one joy that I love to share.
Just remember to buckle that plastic seatbelt for safety.

[EUROPACL]

I'm not sure if it is still at DCA or even if the ability and tech know how can bring it to WDW, but I've spent countless nights wishing and dreaming that one day the Mission tortilla factory could be brought in to replace Splash MT or even the Castle.

[ErikaM]

I would bring over the Aladdin show from California adventure. I'd enclose the theatre of the stars at MGM and put it there instead of Beauty and the Beast.
It would be a shame to lose Beauty and the Beast but a change would also be nice.

Maybe you could put it in the Indy show area. I can't imagine they will have two stunts shows forever.

Are you kidding?

Do you have any idea how much capital it would cost! Don’t you know that Disney is a business! They have shareholders and Wall Street to contend with. Those sharp pencil guys would murder any company that wasted valuable money on a second tortilla making machine!

Walt’s dead. Get used to it. Sure, way back in 1955 Walt could have tortilla making machines because life was easy back then. All he had to do was stand on a street corner and strangers would drive up and drop off thousands of dollars. And people were so easily amused way back then that any old plain tortilla making machine would do.

Today’s audience are so much more sophisticated that we need the mega high tech machine the puts the tortilla right in the bag. That’s way too much to expect any company to buy in today’s cut throat, dog-eat-dog business world.

Besides – Disney is number one in market. So if people really wanted a tortilla making machine in Florida, there would already be one. Since there isn’t, that can only mean people don’t want one.

You’re just a troublemaker; someone who is never satisfied, someone who just wants to complain. We should be [u]grateful[/i] that Disney has gifted us with one tortilla making machine – asking for another is means you just looking for a reason to sue Disney and ruin that fun the rest of us.

Take your hateful, mean spirited snobby comments and go away. If you don’t like without a tortilla making machine than don’t go!

[hniki234]

It's a tough choice for me. I like both the Matterhorn and the Indy ride! The Indy ride would fit in somewhere at MGM. The Matterhorn...well, I'm not sure they could fit it in MK but it sure would be nice! I loved seeing the characters climb to the top!

hmmm....I sense bitter sarcasm....well, maybe its just me. :confused3

[buckylarue]

Nope, it's just you... :teeth: :teeth: :teeth:

I'd love to see Indy instead of Dinosaur, and Grizzly River Run instead of Kali River Rapids. The Matterhorn would be OK just for history's sake, but it is horribly bumpy and uncomfortable, so I'd hope they would be able to do something about that in a redesign before installing it. I know many would like to see Mr. Toad's Wild Ride back too, which is still at DL, or the original Tiki Room show. But my personal choice would be either Alice in Wonderland (a ride I've always missed in MK's Fantasyland) or Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin (since MK's Toontown is so lacking compared to DL's).

[Disneybag]

I'd be happy with a "simple" Space Mountain rehab. A friend and I went to DL about a year ago. After one ride on their Space Mountain, we both agreed we'd give ours up for two years for a rehab.

[King Triton]

I vote for Indy. Better yet, build "Journey To The Center Of the Earth" ride from Tokyo DisneySea. That's one AWESOME ride! :worship: :dancer: :dancer:

[DisneyWorldExpert]

Good news for you, King Triton, Journey to the Center of the Earth may be coming to the Animal Kingdom theme park of the Walt Disney World resort. The location of it in the park is off-side of the Character Meeting area, Camp Minnie-Mickey. The ride may open during 2008-2009. :woohoo:

Where did you find that tid bit of information

[Horace Horsecollar]

The Indy stunt show theater is a large, valuable facility. There may be a new show in that theater some day if the Indy stunt shows ever starts playing to empty audiences — but there's no reason for Disney to demolish the theater itself.

[Another Voice]

Cloning 'Jounrey to the Center of the Earth' was considered several years ago when the PowerPoint Patrol decided Animal Kingdom needed another thrill ride to draw the kiddies. If you watch some of the old Travel Channel Disney shows you can see a hint or two about the show being put in.

That concept was dropped in favor of a much, much cheaper alternative of 'Expedition: Everest'.

[Mecha Figment]

The matterhorn has already come to Florida. it's called Expedition Everest legend of the forbiden mountain. only this time our yeti is more like the real yeti and not the abomidable snow man.

[YoHo]

And the ride isn't nearly as creative.

Seriously, since the ASM in Matterhorn is 100% afterthought, it would be nearly impossible for it not to be better in that particular regard.

[Kae]

Calif Screaming. That is the best coaster. You get a wood & steel combo with the launch. It is sooo smooth.



Kae

[YoHo]

I'm pretty sure WDW already has it's share of underthemed, constantly broken death trap rides.

[mecllap]

Indiana Jones ride. Something based on Journey to the Center of the Earth sounds fun. I still miss the old Rainbow Caverns mine train -- sad that it got turned into a roller coaster.

I need to introduce you to our friend Cristen. Maybe she'll post.

[Disneybag]

Does death trap include death by boredom? Then I agree. They should hand out white lillies at the end of Stitch's Great Escape or Journey Into Imagination. Maybe change Dino-Rama! to the "Casket Carnival"... And I think Innoventions makes the E in EPCOT stand for ennui.

Wasn't there also talk of putting it in MGM to replace Catastrophy Canyon at one time?

I didn't realizing asking random Disney CM's why the ride is shut down and being told that it's for Technical Difficulties was a cavelcade of excitment.

I'm not a big coaster fan, so I'm a bit more critical then the average person, but California Screamin is constantly shut down, because the ride was poorly designed and it's widely considered to be not as good as rockin rollercoaster.

You mention some absolutly terrible attractions, but Disney is distinctly not a coaster park.

[PinkTink63]

Indy, all the way! I love that ride! :thumbsup2

[sweetspicy]

I'd vote for Indy too. :)

[raidermatt]

I found it a pure joy when it happened to us repeatedly with RnRC... Especially when they started bringing out the tables for the private party! I felt so bad for all those convention goers in their business casual attire. Just imagine... Disney agrees to close a ride early just so you can have it all to yourselves, and wouldn'tcha know it... it breaks down. What a coincidence!

Anyway, I don't have anything against them putting in a given coaster. I just think they are relying too much on that type of ride these days, and like with most of their new attractions, they just aren't putting in the full effort.

[Disneybag]

My point exactly. Don't get me wrong, Dumbo is a classic, but how many freakin' Dumbo rides do we need? There are three of that type at MK and one at AK.

I found it on a site called "DisneyCorner.com." :surfweb:

...wait...wait...wait "become"... did I miss when the Backlot Tour wasn't a bore? Did you make two trips past the Golden Girls house back in the glory days??

Fair enough. Its become tired. The first time thru was OK, but I always skip it now.

[sters]

Monstors Inc ride in California Adventure Theme Park, if we must. Would prefer that each park had unique rides to give me a "reason" to go to Disneyland, which is basically lame in comparison except for a couple of rides.

The Aladin show at California theme park was also awesome. If they discontinue it in California, this show would be a terrific addition to MGM.

[alfredromero1975]

Mailboomer. No, just kidding :) Indy sounds nice.

You are nuts. There's nothing, "In the themeparks besides Spaceship Earth and World Showcase that make WDW significantly better. Granted that speaks to your point as much as anything, but I'll reverse it on you and say there's almost no reason for me to go to WDW anymore.

[MJMcBride]

there's almost no reason for me to go to WDW anymore.

so don't

[mitros]

so don't

While I do side with YoHo { I'm sure he could care less to hear that} on numerous occassions, and there are things at WDW that I do not agree with, I'm with you MJMcBride, that's one less warm body at WDW to take up space on line.

Now there's some nightmare fuel.

[Tara8595]

I would like some new countries in Epcot please. I think Spain would be cool. Flamenco dancers and maybe a thrill ride called "Matador" or something, as long as it didn't glorify shoving spears into a bull (gross). How about Belize - with a 'jungle walk' in fake tree tops with spider monkeys jumping around.... or Fiji with a Polynesian type show that you don't have to blow $60 on....

While we're at it, can we get Tapestry back please? And Hunchback?

And if we want something new, how about replacing the Indiana Jones Stunt show with a spin-off of the new Broadway Mary Poppins - which is awesome.

And while we're at it, let's update Star Tours to be a better simulator that doesn't make us sick, and includes the hover-bike scene from Return of the Jedi.

And replace Catastrophe Canyon with the Indy ride from Disneyland.

And if it's not too much to ask, can I also have Casey Jr.?

[monami7]

Either Indy or Monsters inc. We love that

[MJMcBride]

Spain would be cool but its very Euro-centric. I would prefer India, Egypt, and/or Brazil

[grumpy.uncle]

Not that it's going to ever happen, but having recently seen the latest 007 movie, wouldn't Bond be a great theme for a Disney ride? I know I would love it. Looking at most of the postings here, it appears that WDW should combine 3 of the most popular choices into one ride. Indiana Jones does the Matterhorn while making Tortillas. Could have the Tortilla factory built inside the mountain so while riding the smell of fresh tortillas would waft throughout. Then make sure you exit the ride through the same factory, so you can't resist purchasing a $5.00 fresh tortilla ( of course with the image of Indy burnt into one side). :rotfl:

[raidermatt]

All would be pretty good choices, I think. Also Russia.

[MJMcBride]

Good one. If I went Europe, I would probably go with Greece. They could have a fun attraction with that

[YoHo]

Only a very small portion of Russia is Euro Centric.

[MJMcBride]

Only a very small portion of Russia is Euro Centric.

I agree, but generally its considered a "european" nation.

[bstsuda]

WDW is SOOOO missing the Indiana Jones ride....

[PinkTink63]

I'm going to chime in here! I think Egypt would be very cool!

[PinkTink63]

What can I say, another good choice!:thumbsup2

[jimmytammy]

Indy Jones ride. If replacing a show, Snow White for Beauty and the Beast.

[spotty]

I am all for bringing to Toad back.

[goofymikepins07]

i Believe if disney world were to put in a new ride the ride woulld have to be the MATTREHORN BOBSLEDS

[DisneyWorldExpert]

i Believe if disney world were to put in a new ride the ride woulld have to be the MATTREHORN BOBSLEDS

I'd like to see that ride come in. Yet, people keep saying that the new Expedition Everest is a newer version of the Matterhorn Bobsleds ride. I do see a difference.

1. The ride cars on Matterhorn are bobsleds while E.E.'s are train cars.

2. E.E.'s takes place on Mt. Everest while the Matterhorn Bobsleds ride takes place on the Matterhorn (literally!)

I'd still like it if the Matterhorn Bobsleds ride came to WDW.

[YoHo]

Well, it doesn't take place on the Matterhorn "LITERALLY" As it is in Anaheim, not the Swiss Alps.

Realistically though, while I agree they are different, Disney certainly won't.

[jeanylaser]

i was thinking to take out the stitch's greatest escape to the incredibles ride in tomorrowland.:mickeyjum :figment: ::MickeyMo ::MinnieMo :earsboy:

[ceburto2]

Not that it's going to ever happen, but having recently seen the latest 007 movie, wouldn't Bond be a great theme for a Disney ride?

Yeah the part of the ride where they tie you to a chair and hit you repeatedly in the crotch with a knotted rope would be great! :thumbsup2

My vote is for the DLR Pirates to replace WDW version, oh and Indy too.

-ceburto2

[MJMcBride]

Bond would be great but I wouldn't count on it. I had heard they tried to get the rights to put Bond on the Lights Motor Action, but they wanted a boatload of cash. But a ride would be great.

[Another Voice]

The show in Paris was to be themed to 'James Bond', but the deal fell through over a dispute with the using the 'MGM' on the park (MGM owns the 'Bond' franchise). The then owners of MGM Studios asked for more name royalities for Paris then the previous owners had gotten for Disney's Florida park. So Disney dropped "Disney/MGM Studios Paris" to just "Disney Studios Paris" and the auto show lost its storyline.

[G8RFAN]

I didn't read every page, but I bet this wasn't listed... Casey Jr.

DS loved that classic ride more than anything else at DL.
