The Rumor Tracking Thread

[MissGina5]

The fact is, for the UK pavillion they have so many choices to pick from, which has been shared alot. We all have our favorites, and I know Mary Poppins is one of them.

You could have any of the following:
Mary Poppins, Sword in the stone, Dalmatians, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Brave, Bed Knobs and Broomsticks, Mr. Toad, and I am sure I am missing some.

I am going strictly on my gut here.....

So far we have Frozen in Norway(won't start argument again on if it fits or not....it is what it is), we have Rat going to France, so the additions seemed to be more toward the animation side of things. Most of the meet and greets are also animation related I believe except for UK with Mary Poppins. To me if you are going animation and Disney - then in UK you have to look at Alice, Sword in the stone, Dalmatians or Brave as the leaders would you not?

Interesting observation. Brave could be cool!!

Brave was the very first movie I took my daughter to, so I'm kind of partial to it. But I don't think it really has the following.

Unfortunately that's probably true. But it would be cool to get some Scottish representation in there. I like the idea of a U.K. Ride that kind of addresses all of these

I like this idea and I think they all would be great. I like Brave but I am not sure how a ride would go. Alice I think has the most they can do and be the most interesting.

I could see that but they already have Alice at magic kingdom. If they don't do snippets of a lot of things I would hope it would be a bit currently represented IP

I forgot about the Tea Cups. I hate that ride. I send my kids and husband on it and I watch.

I just saw the Doctor Who Experience in Wales is closing in September, I believe. Any thoughts of where it could go...hint, Disney, hint, hint

keep my dark penetrating question Doctor Who out of my happy place is all I have to say about that

Come on, think of how great Disney could do Daleks and Weeping Angels Don't blink...

I mean (sigh) I guess that IS true. Those weeping angels would definitely scare me. But I still think DW is more a Universal IP to pick up than Disney. But disney does it all best so

On the latest episode of the Disney Dish, Jim Hill mentioned about a potential Monsters Inc. land coming to Hollywood Studios once TSL and SWL are completed. The new land would occupy the space currently used for Animation Courtyard and would likely feature 2-3 attractions. One being Laugh Floor from Magic Kingdom. Other options for attractions may include a rethemed Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, or the dark ride from DCA.

I'm fine with that as long as they kinda make the Hollywood blvd sunset blvd stuff more themed the way it was intended. I like the idea of moving from the past at the front of the park into the future

I guess it would be too much to ask for the TDL Monsters Inc ride instead of DCA's...

TDL Monsters Inc. ride is totally a possibility. We don't know any details at this time as it is still a very blue sky rumor, just something that is apparently being talked about internally between WDI.

I wouldn't necessarily say it's being talked about internally at WDI yet. It's only Jim that's really saying this is a possibility at this time. Monsters was looked at a couple years ago but again was put on the back burner.

They definitely could use a phase 3, but I can't see them doing it in the foreseeable future (as much as I'd love it)

I've heard of the potential of a Phase 3 and 4. I would imagine if they are smaller lands, they'll want to get them open in time for the 50th anniversary in 2021. Construction would probably begin soon after Star Wars opens in 2019.

Laugh floor would fit much better into Hollywood studios so I like that idea although I take anything Jim hill says with a fistful of salt

 

[MommaBerd]

Whenever I see a Jim Hill rumor, in my mind I imagine some folks saying his name like Seinfeld said "Newman"

I agree, Laugh Floor would be much better in DHS. I'm not sure really what it has to do with the future, so who knows why they put it in Tomorrowland at MK!? Most definitely, most rumors I take with a pinch of salt but tend to take Jim Hill's with a fistful too! I have heard this Monsters Inc. rumor from a few other places too, as as rteetz said above, it has also been looked at before but put on the back burner.
