Future WDW Additions/Expansion

"As we make our way through some of these ideas, some of them will become real, and we'll say that's specifically what we're going to do, but I want our guests to be on the journey with us."

wow — thank you, josh. I am honored you'd welcome us along on this incredibly long, meandering journey as you try to decide what you're going to do and whether or not whichever bob is in charge of the company in the future will approve it.

I liked the "We have so many stories to tell" line. Yeah, every time they talk, they definitely tell really tall tales, so much so that I'm surprised his nose isn't a danger to those in the front row.

Disney parks boss addresses potential 'Indiana Jones' ride at Animal Kingdom

Disney parks boss addresses potential 'Indiana Jones' replacement for Dinosaur ride at Animal Kingdom and other big moves: 'We know what our fans expect of us and we're going all in.'

Reading the article, with Josh stressing the concept art is not final but "where our heads are" as they continue "dreaming" plans for AK, and they want guests on the journey with them as they make their way through ideas which may become real...I think the core message is clear...expect more Blue Sky talks.

It's insane that an Indy ride would draw people......yet the movie did so poorly, lol

Maybe the reason why they are doing this is because down the line they plan on getting rid of Indy and Star Tours at DHS for some other land.

I'm too cynical some days. I figure that this is a way to walk back his comments to try and stall the talks of new rides. Hopefully, I am incorrect.

The parks panel is moving to the Honda Center. Hopefully that means they will have real concrete things to announce at D23 2024, but I'm not holding my breath.

Universal: "Here's an in-depth look at one of the lands at our NEW theme park coming next year"

Disney: "We're getting new buses!"

 

[UniversalRBLX]

What's amazing is that Disney knew Universal was announcing HTTYD today and still chose to announce that

 

[Mad Dog]

Disney is soooo arrogant and impressed with themselves, they probably think that is a big win for them.

 

[Nico]

I’m all in favor of Disney spending money, but announce it on a different day lol

All in favor of these type of investments... but not really something you should announce publicly when your competitor is actually announce things people are interested in lol

 

[Wesker69]

At least we know where that Zootopia rumor came from. It was actually just a bus!

 

[belloq87]

Tough crowd in these parts.

Universal: "Here's an in-depth look at one of the lands at our NEW theme park coming next year"

Disney: "We're getting new buses!"

Perfectly sums up the state of affairs at Disney these days. But to be fair, maybe they are waiting to D23 to really pull out the big guns in regards to park announcements.

 

[Wesker69]

Yes. Can't wait for that "next-gen" popcorn bucket announcement...

I agree. I don't think Disney wants to do any announcement before D23 as that seems silly. I think anything big will be there and since we already have movement at AK they clearly do have stuff green lit.

I'm not sure you need to announce it ever, Let guests be pleasantly surprised, but no need to pretend the larger world actually cares about this.

 

[Jake S]

I dunno man, seems good that they're making their very large bus fleet more accessible to more of their guests.

 

[UniversalRBLX]

nobody is arguing that, we're just discussing how odd of an announcement it is lol

Disney is soooo arrogant and impressed with themselves, they probably think that is a big win for them.

They trumpeted it as a big win when they made the marquees on the bus say cute things like "I'm going to Hollywood" in between saying "Hollywood Studios", so of course actual new buses are BIG new to them...
