News on the 5th park

[lockedoutlogic]

Are you 100% sure it's never going to happen? Do you have inside info? I've seen that rumor around here for years. Who know's what could happen?

Diminishing vacation time In the work force...lack of labor...lack of desire to add longterm costs...over saturation...

Will common sense do?

...alas...no

Expanding and enhancing existing gates seems to be the order of the day.
I expect this will continue to be the way things go, at least until Universal opens a 3rd gate - then MAYBE they'll consider another gate.

They need a compelling differential theme for a 5th park, though.

Read my lips! "No 5th Gate!"

They can't even build Toy Story land in Florida without messing up the budget and cutting the toilets... can you imagine them building a park right now?

Pretty sure it'd be a train wreck. And we'd wait 10 years for it too.

The last Disney run park that was built well at opening was EPCOT.

Think about that.

Yep. 34 years, completely different management, and most importantly, a whole different public mindset makes a world of difference.

This is a great zombie thread...

This is understandable. Can you imagine the scale if you were to build toilets in a land that shrinks you down to toy size?

If it was Disney management in attendance they'd clog them up in seconds

 

[xipotec]

Would make sense if they want that 13-18 demographic , and steal away Universals thunder...

Disney is building its 5th park right now. Hello people wake up:

It's comprised of 5 lands
Avatar Land (AK)
Toy Story Land (DHS)
Star Wars Land (DHS)
Frozen Land (epcot)
Shopping and Restaurant Land ( Disney Springs )
A signature dinning ( tiffins )
Landless Sorin around the World and TSMM part 2
And finally a nighttime show called Rivers of Light


Yep, lets be honest. If Disney were to build a new park and open it with the list above compared to say what they opened AK with back in the day, this "5th park" would be huge!

I wouldn't count what's going into Epcot as a land. The ride was already there it's just being redone as frozen themed.

That's all in response to longtime (10+ year) neglect...

Don't hurt your elbow patting backs

Yes, Disney took away a great, classic ride to put in frozen. Will always look at that as a huge Disney mistake.

I was confused for a minute... This thread is FIFTEEN years old.

So how many 'gates' has Universal opened now then?
