News Round Up 2017

Agreed. They're all pretty horrible. It's possible the survey isn't even real.

Everything I've seen shows the survey is real. Whether it's actually from Disney is another question.

 

[umichigan10]

No I don't get it.

I have no issue with the idea of a name change, we're already on the second name of the park anyways. Disney's Hollywood Adventure is a good name, Disney Movie Experience, Disney Dream Lands.

I tried to make a weird joke and failed. Needless to say it's a god awful name

 

[OKW Lover]

Disney at the Movies?

"Ok, so we have the new name, but not sure how people will react"

"I know, let's send out a survey with a bunch of terrible names so when we unveil our mediocre one it will sound great by comparison"

"Brilliant!"

We actually had that happen here with our triple-A baseball team. They put out a poll with "potential" names - all of which were stupid/terrible EXCEPT the one they had already picked which sounded great in comparison. (By the way, they got hammered for it on social media and other media.)

I, too, find it hard to believe this is from Disney. If it is, poor move on their part...

Yeah they all suck. Disney could have a name picked and they are just gauging public interest.

They're not testing names, they're testing emotions. I don't believe any of these names are intended to be final. They all speak to some kind of mood. They're descriptive without excess baggage. Try reading that list as more of a "which of these words best describes your mood on observing ... " style psychology test.

When they know how most people respond to the park, they'll pick a more brandable version of that choice.

 

[MissGina5]

idk I like Cinemagic or Legends. Those are ok.

hahahaha...... I don't think I ever heard you respond like that..... and you are right. I find it hard to believe this was generated by disney. Although I hope the park concept info is right....

I do get that general concept... but I guess I'm unclear as to what emotion most of these names will be deemed to have captured if selected by those surveyed... Kaleidoscope?? Hyperia?? Beyond?? XL?? I suppose I just don't get it. They're so bad that it really seems like it can't even be from Disney, IMO.

Also, wouldn't all the "Disney" 's be "Disney's"?

I was thinking that (emotions) or just what types of themes people think should be covered by the new name. So if Kaleidoscope gets more votes than expected, then the name should cover "variety" or something like that. If "Hyperia" does well, then some connection to Disney history should be included - things like that rather than these specific words

 

[Fantasia79]

Agreed. Looks suspiciously awkward. Some OK options, but no worth the $ to change all the branding.

 

[beer dave]

Also, the paragraph starting "enter this newly named disney theme park" is a contextual nightmare..... the editor should have been fired.....

 

[TheMaxRebo]

no - it's "Disney California Adventure" for example

As am I - gives me hope that they recognize the importance of the history of the part to a lot of people

Thought makes me worried they will just keep this as the "history" part and not worry about that aspect when they redo the part to another IP Land

 

[beer dave]

no - it's "Disney California Adventure" for example

And "Disney's Hollywood Studios" for another--- so a better response may be "Not necessarily"

guess I meant, they don't have to be. so just the fact they aren't doesn't mandate that the survey is a fake

 

[closetmickey]

I should remember this but wasn't Disney CA Adventure originally Disney's CA Adventure?

XL park is the worst. It makes you think the park is only for people who wear a specific clothing size. What is a story verse? That sounds like word salad. Legends? Does that means that the characters in the other parks aren't legendary? Hyperia is going to sound like a made up word to the average visitor. Whoever came up with the list should be fired.

XL would also make me think it is an "Extra Large" park and I believe land-wise, DHS is the smallest of the 4 parks
