It's begging to be put there, just based on aesthetics. Did you SEE that Kingdom?! LOL.

The dragon would supposedly chase guests on a rollercoaster and hurl flames at them. So they had, at one time, considered movie tie-in's for the park. But obviously it never came about. Instead they took this idea to Islands of Adventure minus the Sleeping Beauty theme.

Originally Posted By brotherdave They already have "shoved" movie animals into DAK - Festival of the Lion King, It's Tough to Be a Bug, Finding Nemo musical, and Dinosaur. Let's face it, none of the theme parks are "character free" (unlike EPCOT Center originally was in the 1980s).
Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer ^ Dinosaur, not so much, it's more like a reference to the film. But I agree on the rest...and think that their inclusion isn't terrible, but could have been done a bit better. Then again, they fit the lands they are in REASONABLY well, so, it doesn't matter much. LOL.

How cool of a dark ride would Tangled make. Visiting thee Snuggly Duckling, they could do some cool effect with narrowly avoiding the dam burst, the town and for an awesome finale....go into a room surrounded by the lanterns. Heck - that Snow White coaster could be Repunzel instead. And I agree with Epcot Explorer....I loved everything about that movie...I think thats fairly obvious!

Originally Posted By brotherdave Synergy is fine in Fantasyland, as long as the quality is there. Of all the lands that synergy was designed for, it is there. I have no problem with a Tangled attraction here, just as long as it's more than just a Meet and Greet. Perhaps Rapunzel will eventually be the replacement dark ride for Snow White, assuming that the Seven Dwarf coaster gets built.
Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer ^ Heck, save SWSA, which is a classic, and make the new coaster a Tangled one. There are TONS of fast scenes...
Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORDDU: I totally agree with you, EPCOT Explorer, duckling. My sisters and I just enjoyed riding Snow White's Scary Adventures again last night and would hate to see it go away. We inquired of the cast members who were manning the ride about whether or not they had heard that Snow White was going away. (Of course they hadn't.) Furthermore, they suggested we not believe that rumor.
Originally Posted By brotherdave That would be fine with me if they kept SWSA. It is defiinitely a classic! They just don't make Disney style dark rides like this anymore! My only suggestion for replacing it with a "Tangled" ride was the rumors I've heard of it being removed for the princess meet & greets. As far as I'm concerned, they can add MORE C-Ticket dark rides like Snow White to Fantasyland like they have at Disneyland. The more, the better, I feel! That's why Disneyland's Fantasyland always felt more "complete" to me!

Originally Posted By HokieSkipper The only way I'd be fine with keeping SWSA is ripping everything out and making it a 21st century dark ride. Which really, isn't keep it at all. Haha
Originally Posted By leobloom >> ^ Heck, save SWSA, which is a classic, << A classic...piece of dusty crap? If they insist on keeping the outdated thing, could they at least update it? DL's recently got a new effect in the queen/witch transformation scene. I'm guessing the last time MK's was updated was in the early 90's? But leaving it as-is sounds like a lousy idea, IMO.
