Hell, it won't come to WDW anytime soon due to the Universal contract. <<Star Tours doesn't fit in Tomorrowland though. Tomorrowland takes place in the future. Last I checked Star Wars takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.>> Bah, semantics. Haha

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer >>> At MK in WDW they have another park- DHS expressly for things like Indy and SW and that is exactly where they belong, not in the MK- I agree with that whole heartedly. The Magic KIngdom to me should be expressly Disney properties - much focused on classics - and future classics... For DL however I have to give them the same break that Walt recognized. WDW is blessed with the bonus of size...DL is not. Unless they can bulldoze part of Anaheim and build a 3rd park-- you have to kinda ignore the intrusion of classic Disney fantasy.<<<< EXACTLY. Thank you. And I think it would go well in DCA...They have a backlot, why not?
Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer >>>I can't agree. Not at all. Indy (and Star Tours, but that's already over at DHS) fits perfectly, maybe better than perfectly in Adventureland. Putting it in DHS would take away a lot of what makes the ride special in DL.<<< You don't understand the point we are making here, I think. It fits ONLY because of the superb themeing and how it's tied into the land. It's the 3rd party story itself that belongs in another land. It's akin to taking Harry Potter and putting it in FL because the Fantasy fits. See what I mean? I sticks out like a sore thumb.

Originally Posted By HokieSkipper <<It's akin to taking Harry Potter and putting it in FL because the Fantasy fits. See what I mean? I sticks out like a sore thumb. >> Not at ALL. Potter wouldn't fit in Fantasyland because it's a completely different feel. Potter is a much mroe realistic-style of Fantasy, whereas Fland is a cartoon Fantasy. It's the same reason why 20K felt out of place there. Indy and Star Wars both compliment and adhere to the stylistic offerings of Adventureland and Tomorrowland perfectly. There's no leap in logic, style, or feeling.
Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer >>>Sure. But to say it "doesn't fit" is a stretch, IMO.<<< Is it Disney? Nope. Doesn't fit. Put it in the studios. That's the way I think we are thinking of it, I think. Adding 3rd party stories, to me, is like WDI admitting that they couldn't be creative enough to make their own story, and by borrowing/using those other creations, it cheapens the Disney brand. At least in a Disneyland/MK setting. If they want to put it in the Studios, to give the Studios Park a wider range of characters, that's fine. But Marvel in MK? Indy? Star Wars? WDI couldn't do something on their own? That's how I feel with it...

Believe me, wdi still has that creative spark that they've always had, i just don't believe they're given the creative freedom the used to be given

How do you explain the Buck Roger's/Sci Fi world...that suddenly has a realistic Sci Fi attraction sitting in it? Look at Paris. Look at DL. It doesn't make sense.

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer >>>But they have DISNEY in their names! DISNEY DISNEY<<< You know what I mean. Look at the MEANING of the parks..DL/MK is the home of the classic Disney storytelling and it's characters. DCA/Studios only had DISNEY attached to it for marketing reasons. They, by nature, as a "studios" park, are more open to just DISNEY stories.

But it doesn't match up with the whimsical feel of AdvL, the Tiki Room, JC, and in our case, PotC. It's the outlier.
