Walt Disney World's Future Rides Are Gonna SUCK
Universal has been on a roll lately, showing a clear vision for the future of its theme parks. In contrast, Disney seems uncertain about their direction with new additions. The upcoming attractions from Disney feel hollow and uninspired compared to their golden years of innovation. I worry that if Disney continues prioritizing intellectual property-driven rides over creativity and originality, Universal-especially with the upcoming Epic Universe-could overtake Disney as the world's theme park capital.

Cars Land Would Be A TERRIBLE Addition For Disney World
"They just make rides based on films from the past 3 years"? Which films in the past 3 years have rides made?
What do you mean, "that looks pretty promising"? Have you not seen Deadpool and wolverine yet? It's not even in theaters anymore.
*cough* *cough* tron lightcycle run…
I made the mistake of going to Islands of Adventure and riding Velocicoaster 2 days before I went to Magic Kingdom and riding the new Tron coaster.
I remember it being very smooth in my 21 visits
Not enough attraction for the allowed capacity
I wouldn’t be able to handle these crowds here if I was going opening day it’s overwhelming
I will be going in 2026
I don’t even like Harry Potter never really did but the Harry Potter Land is so nice looking
Honestly I don’t find Disney IP’s interesting as I did when I was younger I don’t feel the need to go see the new movies in theaters
I haven’t been to Disney World in years and I mean it I don’t remember the last time I went
I'd rather they just haul everything from Tokyo Disneysea than to put in more IPs. At least there's a consistent theme and worldbuilding that creates a sense of adventure.
In the case of Tiana's Bayou Adventure, they took an IP that bombed in theatres and ended Disney's traditional animation studio but used it to retheme one of the park's most popular attractions. In this case, it was done purely out of activism, not popularity and it shows.
Tron and Cosmic Rewind are two of the most amazing, unique attractions ever created. Skeleton Crew is fantastic. More Mandalorian. coming. But no, lets all collectively whine anyways 🙄
@@tonydoinstuff i can only agree with half
As a tron fan, i was so glad Disney at least gives a bit of recognition to Tron as despite its flawed, it was such a technologically advanced movie at the time (og) tron that helped paved the way for cgi in movies.
They will cheese their way to the least expensive option they can get away with and you end up with crap.
This is a *really* good description of what is happening to the various Disney parks. Tbh, if Walt was alive today he would be completely appalled at what his parks have become. As you said, the Disney parks were never meant to showcase the various films Disney had. More than anything it was to give guests a unique experience that occasionally tied in a few films (Peter Pan being one) but mostly tried to be its own thing. By putting in various film-themed 'lands' into the parks Disney seems to be degrading the magic of those parks, making them feel more corporate than magical. And they are doing this during a time when their rivals are getting more aggressive with their expansions, cutting into their market share (especially in Florida). Not a smart move at all.
So this guy's videos average about 20,000 views per post -- with around half racking up less than 10,000. But what stands out for me (and I suspect for him) is how one video managed to attract 70,000 clicks. It was the one titled "I HATE Disney Worlds Newest Ride". That's because videos with headlines and corny cartoonish thumbnails attract viewers. And it has always been that way -- regardless of the platform or publication. Slap together a negative headline about Disney and you get attention. Is this guy's criticism of Disney off target? Maybe not. A lot of what he says in this video is subjective including its title). I'm just acknowledging that it seems like this guy's tactic to get some attention is to dump on Disney -- an old schtick that features content with little unique insight or value. Yawn.
don’t hate the player hate the game
The use of intellectual property is just as prevalent at the Comcast parks. But I suspect the producer of this video knows that dumping on Comcast in a YT video headline doesn't generate as many clicks as dumping on Disney.
I think China could build a bigger one if they wanted. They also have infinite money. And I'm sure there is enough people in China who would ride it.
These new folks coming in to work at Disney really need to learn what the old guard did to make Disney the quality standard it was. Drop the politics, the holier than thou attitude, nickel and diming, virtue signaling, "fixing" problems that didn't really exist, making things harder on the customer, having a constant, multi-year construction zone, and get back to basic business. Treat the customer well and you'll get repeat business. Focus on making quality products, quality services, and quality park updates THAT PEOPLE WANT, and you'll get repeat business. LISTEN to your guests, and you'll get repeat business. It's really that simple.
Ah, if it was that simple. That paradigm USED to exist for hundreds of years. However, the customer has gotten used to getting virtually nothing for their money. Have you been to a McDonald’s lately? They don’t even have a person stationed at the one and only register to do person to person transactions. Businesses don’t care how bad they treat you because they all know there is another stupid schmo that will put up with their bullshit and high prices. I was an Imagineer for years and all I ever worked on were IP driven attractions. “Here. Take this movie and shove it into a box that doesn’t exceed 25,000 sq ft. Most boring career I could have imagined.
Is this a re upload?
you did a great job - however, Pirates of the Caribbean The Curse of the Black Pearl was NOT based on the ride. Disney had inserted character & scenic elements known from their ride into a supernatural pirate story.
Tell us you were born after 2000, without telling us. The idea of Animal Kingdom was to compete with Busch Gardens, while capitalizing on the popularity of “The Lion King”. Michael Eisner never hide that fact. While Splash Mountain and Star Tours were built in the 80s, and both are IP attractions in random locations. The very era that kept Disney from bankruptcy, the Disney Renaissance, is severely underrepresented at the domestic parks. It was not until this year that it was announced that “The Lion King” would finally get a ride-through attraction, after 30 years, but it will be at Disneyland Paris. Despite that film earning nearly $1bil at the box-office, back in 1994. While the Disney Villains are predominantly from very old movies. I do not see the monstrosity that is Zootopia coming to the domestic parks, due to that film not being popular in America and the land being exclusive to Shanghai. At Shanghai Disneyland, which is a bizarre park, that land serves as a combination of ToonTown and Galaxy’s Edge. It fills in a gag that is not needed at the domestic parks.
Though, I do agree that using D23 as a focus-group has been a terrible idea. Since what the Disney fanatics want, and what would be successful with the general public, are two completely different things. Galaxy’s Edge is a great example of this. It was not built for casual theme park guests, and thus has underperformed since opening. Whereas Cars Land and Pandora were huge successes, and neither were focus-grouped. Imagineering took a huge risk on both those projects, and Disney reaped in the rewards.
Disneyland isn't doing so hot right now, either. It's so terrible giving time and energy to this stupid ass company.
Disney needs new management. It's the only sort of hope that can help this failing company. The company really needs someone who values creativity and originality rather than being entirely dependent on intellectual properties. This is why I have to give props to Oriental Land Company for maintaining and preserving the originality of Tokyo Disneyland, as it really has a ton of original content blended in with well-themed intellectual property attractions. I honestly have to say that you should be visiting Tokyo Disneyland over Disney World currently.
Tokyo Disneyland has no originality. It was built as a replica of Disneyland and Magic Kingdom. It was not until after building DisneySea, that the OLC realized the castle park needed an identity.
@ChienaAvtzon yes and no. It started out as basically the Disney parks greatest hits but as time went on it has taken on its own image because the thing is Disney isn't footing the bill when it comes to Tokyo Disneyland. This is important as they for some time have been able to bounce ideas off and put it all kinds of leading edge tech which makes there rides so good (just look at the pooh ride and compare it to all the others and it is night and day). Also this park is now the only one with Splash Mountain.
@@Josh-ut4wv - Tokyo’s Splash Mountain is rumored to be receiving a retheme after their new Space Mountain opens.
@ChienaAvtzon whatever it is it will be original as they rejected the "update"
@@Josh-ut4wv - The OLC never rejected the idea of an update. They rejected it being a clone of the update in the domestic parks. They wanted something more unique, and it was already hinted which film they might have picked.
They should really explore more options with SEA (society of explorers and adventurers) and Jules Verne, as their best work revolves around those two themes
That or take more inspiration from Tokyo Disneyland as for that they have some of the highest quality but it comes down to they aren't footing the bill there.
Best thumbnail I've ever seen
I haven't been confident in their movies ever since 2018, but Splash Mountain broke me in terms of their parks It's insane how much in the last 7 years, the company has changed so much for the worse. Sure they've been iffy for a while, but every since 2020, they've been very money hungry when it came with their sequel or milking Marvel. Even in the parks like I said with Splash Mountain but it's not just that, alot of stuff that "Imagineering" has been doing have been either subpar, or missed the mark, but with everything planned, I'd like to add soulless now.
Hey, you dropped this 👑
Entertaining video but your predictions are way off lol. MK only sees about 50-60k guests a day on average and they have like 30+ attractions. EU will probably max out around 15-25k, its a considerably smaller park at least for now until they open the two planned land expansions and multiple ride expansions
Disney plays way too safe! Plus, they pander way too much to families and are afraid to take risks with their films nowadays!
they should be pandering to families in the parks not just the movies
Why did disney think to release mufasa the same day as SONIC 3 I only heard of mufasa from moist crital but I was hype for sonic 3 sense 2 post credit scene 2 years ago
Disney is becoming very mid ( if they were not already )
1:13 re-program top thrill 2 so the restraints pop open on the top hat then the riders get all ejected.
Bad coaster is crazy, first hill is a w, lots of airtime. Is your favorite in the park gatekeeper?
Have you ridden it in row 17? I rode it 15 times in a single day throughout the train, and I thought row 17 was the most comfortable row by a mile. It was bumpy there, but by no means uncomfortable. Meanwhile, the front row was too much, and this is coming from a magnum fan.
If they were smart they would limit attendance capacity for the first few months so that "capacity" is 10-15% lower than what could be considered maximum and thus help foster the best experience for those early crowds. The word of mouth alone on those experiences would be worth more than any marketing dollars they could spend.
I was there after my communion in my beautiful dress. 😅I begged my parents to go!!!❤❤❤❤
It won’t be a good change. Change is bad. When it comes to rides at Disney world. I love the muppets but I don’t know about this…
It’s not that bad, that’s coming from someone who used to hate it. I love it nowadays
1:13 “Get rid of every rider” - Sik at flamingo land literally killed 2 water dummies in testing.
I liked it when it first came out and when I was young but now it's just an upscale car wreck! Those last small hills before the end are PURE TORTURE!!
Will it be slower and changed or no?
I feel like Magnum XL 200 is probably the most polarizing roller coaster of all time I’ve never seen such a 50/50 split on one roller coaster until Magnum enters the chat It’s amazing how many people love it and how many people hate it. I like Magnum a lot but I don’t hate it Sorry you’ve had some rough and painful rides
It should be a requirement that the people that decide to spend this much money on a roller coaster. Should have to speak in front of homeless people and tell them the reason they are spending $170, million on a roller coaster, then to feed them. To me, it’s a waste of money, a lot of money.!!!! Let’s get priorities straight people!!! It’s the right thing to do!
Arrow's shortcomings can't be blamed on the technology of the day. You're right about B&M, but don't forget Schwarzkopf was making smooth, forceful coasters throughout the 1980s. The design and engineering in those rides really highlights how far behind Arrow and Vekoma were.
I loved this coaster. It was really fun and it didn't hurt me at all. Seriously, you're riding a coaster with a bad back? You know your advised not to do that. No wait times? It's a high volume coaster. It was built for big crowds. There were several coasters that had next to no wait when I visited the park. Coasters also get rougher as they age unless the park replaces worn out sections of track. At the end of their life parks don't do much maintenance to the track. They may be getting ready to sunset the coaster.
“I hate Magnum XL-200!” So you’re a communist.
“Terrible doesn’t even begin to describe this coaster”… because it’s terrific on so many levels!
A fourth option would be to simply demolish the American Eagle, and then re-build the American Eagle, using all new materials. Same ride experience, same track layout, but new structures and materials.
