‘Nobody Wants This:’ Disney World Reveals Details Of New Cars Attraction But Fans Are Not Having It

It’s not unusual for many Disney World enthusiasts to feel disgruntled when Disney announces something new for the parks. Typically, a new opening implies an old one is closing, but the latest addition to Disney World in the coming years isn’t just a new attraction; it’s a significant overhaul of Magic Kingdom, and fans are expressing their disappointment quite vocally towards Disney.

During the weekend, Josh D’Amaro, Chairman of Disney Parks, attended SXSW and spoke about the upcoming attractions set to debut at Disney Parks worldwide. Among these new additions are the revamped “Cars” attractions which will replace Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island at Magic Kingdom. A video showcasing some early development work for this attraction was exhibited, and it later surfaced on the official Disney Parks Twitter account.

It appears that Disney underestimated the response from fans when they posted about the changes, as the post has been overwhelmingly flooded with comments expressing disapproval. Instead of praising the new look, fans have been vocal about their disappointment towards these alterations. The comments range from direct criticisms to various forms of expression that Disney World is not meeting the approval of many fans.

  • Don’t do this. Nobody wants this.
  • Not worth sacrificing rivers of America can’t you put this in Hollywood studios?
  • I’d be excited for this if it was *beyond* Big Thunder and not replacing a quintessential aspect of the park in Rivers of America
  • It’s like demolishing the castle to put up a tilt-a-whirl

It’s important to note that the video has received favorable feedback too. Some people appear genuinely enthusiastic about what’s in store, yet their voices seem to be overshadowed by a loud chorus of opposition.

In every amusement park, there’s always a favorite ride for someone, making it challenging to find universal acclaim when something gets removed, except perhaps for Fast & Furious: Supercharged. However, the contrasting opinions – those looking forward to the novelty versus those disappointed by the loss – appear more imbalanced than typical in this case.

Most people appear to appreciate the prospect of fresh car-themed attractions on spec, finding them visually appealing. However, the concern lies in what must be given up to accommodate these new additions. The proposed alteration to the Rivers of America would significantly transform not only the physical appearance of Magic Kingdom but also its emotional essence. This change has even made me question my initial stance on shutting down attractions.

As a film enthusiast, I must admit that the naysayers’ voices against the upcoming changes in the Cars attractions are quite audible. However, it appears their protests might be for naught. Although the exact timing of construction in Frontierland remains elusive and the closure of current attractions is yet to be announced, the inevitable is on the horizon. Once that day arrives, all we can do is patiently wait and wonder what the new land will look like, crossing our fingers that it turns out to be as fantastic as we hope.
