DCA: How bout replacing Bugs Life with Zootopia?

[Bud Ice]

Just a thought. Figure if any part of the park needed improvement. Its that.

Sounds good to me. I do like Bug's Land, but since we have no kids we don't go on any rides there. I also think they are missing out on a big opportunity by not bringing back the dance party with a Zootopia theme. I mean c'mon, the last scene of the movie is already done for them. Just recreate it.

SO MUCH YES!

 

[bumbershoot]

No.

I couldn't even pay attention to zootopia.

Even when I'm on a solo trip I ride the chew chew train. Adults denying themselves the joy of bug's land are only hurting themselves.

I'll disagree with this one. I LOVED the Bug's Life movie. Thought it was one of Disney's best in story, voice-overs, and soundtrack. And I love walking in and the theming makes you feel bug-sized. Just brilliant! This land has always been a strength in DCA because of the Disney theming that didn't exist anywhere else in the park until Cars Land arrived. And we always do Heimlich's Chew Chew train. It's like Mr. Toad's or Peter Pan to us.

Plus....while Zootopia was a fun movie and had a huge box office take, I'm not sure it has a Pixar-style staying power. I might be wrong. Besides, if they're going to spend a bunch of cash on Marvel Land, I don't see them touching Bug's Land for a while. Unless Bug's Land becomes part of Marvel Land.

They can't even figure out how to keep the Zootopia character meet and greets running. How the heck would they make a land work and have staying power?

I'd like to see them try a Zootopia 4-D show. But, they've already done the shrink and grow the audience, and that show wasn't so great. It would have to be a really, really great show. But they do have the Muppet Theater ready to be turned into something. I admit, I don't love A Bug's Life, but other people do and the land is good for what it is in a smaller footprint than some rides. I think Disney should see how a film holds up over time before jumping to eliminate one themed land in favor of another theme.

I personally love the idea but I don't see it happening. I also think it would need to be a bigger area than Bug's Land is now.
