No New Mountain for the MK

[dcbush12]

ya know what WDW needs?? to give more respect to Aladdin!! it's my very favorite disney movie.....magic carpet rides arent nearly enough!!

I think they should design a Beauty and the Beast ride! That would be AMAZING!!! Plus it would fit in well with Fantasyland.

As long as it isnt Nemo or Pixar Im fine with what ever it is. Pixar is good and all but belongs in MGM, not MK

Yeah well it already found it's way into Epcot. LOL!

To me, an E Ticket ride that isn't a mountain would imply something costly and big... like along the lines of Mission Space/Test Track. Since Pooh will be "across the street" from it and it'll be next door to Ariel's Grotto (assuming they don't rip that out), I'd hope it's something kid friendly. Y'know they haven't done much with Cars (the movie) and it was fairly successful. Oh lord what if it's Stitch...

it being in fantasyland it would have to be something in theme with that.. i figure.. like a princesses, or a mythical story of some short.. nemo i would think would fit in... its just not fantasy to me

I suppose talking fish who plan escapes from a tank are fantasy to some people though. LOL!!!!

Yes, they have enough room to LEAVE Pooh's Playful Spot and add some more "fantasyland" type rides (such as Alice from Disneyland or something similar). However, I've heard they have many ideas, but nothing set in stone yet, but that space will be developed in good time.

There was talk fo a Little Mermaid themed ride for a while. Makes sense as it is right next to the grotto.

Agreed but unfortunately I think the fact that they've at least said it'd be E Ticket quality sort of kills the dark ride rumor. Maybe a Little Mermaid experience? Like... a huge simulator where you get into a tailfin and swim? LOL!!

I don't know about you guys but I could see the WDI planning an E-Ticket for the Princess & the Frog movie. Even though it hasn't come out yet there's been tons of talk about the movie being a huge hit. So thats what i'm thinking.

I don't view the Little Mermaid ride an E-ticket though.... I guess it can fall in line with Peter Pan and Snow White... But, are they both E-tickets???? How about the villians ride we heard so much about?? it doesn't have to be a mountain ya know.....

[dcbush12]

Sooo, i guess no one is as big of a fan of the aladdin movie as i am??? hahaha

Aladdin is a wonderful movie & I love it but to me it doesn't fit well with the Fantasyland theming. And the only way I see it is that the Aladdin attraction will have to be about Genie.

Peter Pan's Flight & Snow White's Scary Adventures are dark rides which are D or C-Ticket attractions.

i hope they put something good in place of Pooh's Playful Spot. from what i heard 20K was a really great ride so i think it deserves better than Pooh.

i can't believe they couldn't keep it in long enough for me too ride it. ***Lays down on floor and has tantrum*** I WANNA RIDE IT!!!!!!!!! I DON'T EVEN CARE IF I COULD REMEMBER IT!!!! COULDN'T THEY WAIT FOR LATE 1995 TO TAKE IT OUT???????? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The clip of the Little Mermaid dark ride that was on the DVD looked more like the caliber of the Nemo thing at The Seas. I don't know if you would call that E-Ticket, but it is a dark ride, and it's no Snow White or Peter Pan. Hard to tell if Disney would consider Nemo an E-Ticket, since there's no such thing anymore.

Perhaps a better comparison would be the Haunted Mansion. Surely someone here knows whether that was an E-Ticket (I thought it was, but was 9 the last time I was in the parks and E-Tickets existed...) And surely we can all agree that HM is a dark ride.

Anyway, I'm just suggesting that IF HM was an E-ticket, than perhaps it is not out of the question that Disney would call the Little Mermaid dark ride (or some variation on it) an E-Ticket as well. And I'm willing to bet that sometime, somewhere, Disney's marketing folks at least considered referring to the likes of Nemo and Stitch as E-Tickets . . . whether we agree with the characterization or not.
