Just some food for everyone to chew on while I have the chance to stop by: So its no secret by now that things are shifting over at the Studios. Out of the blue closures, removal of structures, it seems like something is going to happen, and many insiders have said exactly that. (Ok I don't call myself an insider, but I have friends inside who know things and seem pretty accurate about most of their info so I trust them) Anyway the budget for the overhaul of the park is pretty big as you already know, and if all goes well we are looking at a new park by the end of the decade. Now were not talking a few kiddie rides and call it a day type of park. Sure some new B and C tickets are in the works to be added (The rethemed Mater Jamboree ride is a real plan as of now) But you can also expect a couple of new E-Ticket attractions, and this is within the park overhaul budget. The Star Wars plans....which are happening are also getting a pretty big budget as it stands. The Star Wars budget is also REALLY a separate budget so by the end of the decade look for WELL over 2 Billion to be spent in this park alone. Illuminations is receiving some upgrades to the regular show as well as the holiday tag this year. Say goodbye to the Water Cronkite narration as another piece of old Epcot Center heads for the door. Reflections of Earth is also going to see some tech upgrades that will really improve the show in some cool ways. Nothing about the show is going to change though. Frozen is the new thing everyone loves to hate, especially with it moving in to Norway like it did. But in the midst of the despair and the arguments about the thematic elements fitting in Norway, there is some rays of the hope for the ride itself. Obviously the ride is staying a boat ride. The new queue is still going to use the theater space, but the old loading dock is going to be used for show scenes. While load and unload will both take place inside the original unload dock. Also it seems AA's very well might be part of the ride.
