They replaced the rad Norway viking troll ride in Epcot with a fucking Frozen ride

Bob Iger has to leverage Disney's Franchise Properties somehow, doesn't he?

okay then what do I say?

Yarrun XIX · 2017-01-23 02:20:36

I object particularly on the terms that Epcot is only allowed to entertain by harnessing the powers of nature and science and history. Or at least, in the terms of the Honey I Shrunk The Audience show, science fiction.

Throwing in Elsa just spits in the face of all Epcot stands for

Yarrun XIX · 2017-01-23 02:22:25

I actually remember playing a demo of Sonic 2006 at the Epcot Activity Center

Yarrun XIX · 2017-01-23 02:22:42

Can we turn this into a Disney Parks thread, actually?

Odradek · 2017-01-23 02:24:46

Sure

Imipolex G · 2017-01-23 02:27:26

this makes me despise Disney even more

boo hiss

Klinotaxis · 2017-01-23 02:57:44

this is all i know about epcot

Odradek · 2017-01-23 03:18:56

It was supposed to be a giant domed city inhabited entirely by Disney employees in which the Disney Corporation would be everyone's landlord

That's a true fact, look it up, shit was bonkers

Yarrun XIX · 2017-01-23 03:23:43

They had to settle for making Celebration.

I (well, my parents) have actually driven through the place a few times, way after dark when no one's out. It's pretty nice, in a 'if Main Street USA was real' sort of way.

Didn't even know it was owned by Disney until today. I just assumed that it looked so picturesque because of rich white people being rich white people. Younger me did not understand homeowner's associations

Anonus · 2017-01-23 04:05:34

Disney no longer owns the city though

Yarrun XIX · 2017-01-23 04:26:40

They owned it the first time we went through there though, so I'm counting it.

wait what

that was the most exciting ride in Epcot's exhibit of nations

this is just like their replacing the original and more interesting imagination station

Yarrun XIX · 2017-01-23 04:50:35

The Norway ride was Okay.

The best ride at Epcot was the giant golf ball, which has been consistently closed every time I've gone there for the past decade or so.

I just want to ride in the weird rotating couch. Come on, Disney.

The Norway ride was the best because there was that rolling down the slope and plunging into water. (The giant golf ball ride, Spaceship Earth, was less exciting in my opinion.)

Yarrun XIX · 2017-01-23 04:56:02

Well yeah, the Norway ride is more exciting, but you can get splashing and slopes anywhere at Disney.

I can't go to MGM Studios and get a weird lecture on human history on a mini merry-go-round, Disney. Why do you do this to me, Disney? Do you like it when I cry?

Yarrun XIX · 2017-01-23 04:58:41

I always forget what MGM Studios does

I know they have Aerosmith and the Tower of Terror, but they have to have something besides that.

Odradek · 2017-01-23 04:59:23

There's The Great Movie Ride too

Yarrun XIX · 2017-01-23 05:00:51

Honestly? Didn't even realize that was a thing.

Odradek · 2017-01-23 05:02:02

It's real good

An outlaw hijacks the ride halfway through

Anonus · 2017-01-23 05:05:04

Disney-MGM Studios is now called Disney's Hollywood Studios, because MGM was a decaying husk at the time of the rename no longer worthy of the licensing fees

Yarrun XIX · 2017-01-23 05:10:58

MGM Studios is what they called it when I was young, and frankly, I don't give a flip about new Disney Parks stuff, so I see no reason to adapt to their standards of what's right.

glennmagusharvey · 2017-01-23 05:46:20

To be fair, Spaceship Earth also has some good music, if I recall correctly.

TCM is a partner of it now.

Anonus · 2017-01-23 06:55:20

Leave it to Time Warner to get envious of Disnep

Also, isn't TCM basically the real M-G-M these days anyway

The Cracked article about Celebration is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. What a delightfully absurd, stupid fucking place.

Disney is an evil, evil, evil corporation
