Moana

What? Care to elaborate?

I'm not understanding the "Moana" reference?

Just did a google search- moana is a new disney heroine
I guess the OP is implying this is expected to be another Frozen...therefore becoming a ride

Moana is the new animated movie which takes place in the South Pacific I believe... Or somewhere around there... Has a Polynesian feel to it...

Edit: it does, in fact, take place in the South Pacific...

Eh, The tiki room building isn't big enough for them to do much of anything else with it. I'm sure it will stay as is.

Not stopping them from shoehorning Frozen into Malestrom...

Well, Maelstrom is a full fledged ride in a very large show building. Not even close to the same thing.

Still too small to do a dark ride of an animated movie justice, especially one as popular as Frozen is...

As for Tiki room, all they have to do is shoehorn Moana into the attraction, as if it is Under New Management... and presto... Done... rethemed...

Not saying this is what they would do... But let's face it, if the movie is popular, adding 1 AA into Tiki Room is exactly something TDO would want be done... Cheap and easy...

wow.....

If Moana makes $1.5 Billion, I have no problem with them "enhancing" the Tiki Room. When a movie is that popular, it obviously is a smart idea to retheme a lackluster attraction.

Just don't forget that the "lack luster" rides are most loved by the generation who pays for the trips. ;)

One person's "lackluster" is another person's "classic."

I don't understand how mediocrity is accepted by Disney fans... Especially when Disney was about being great not mediocre... Adding in an AA and calling it new is cheap and mediocre... This attitude is the reason WDW has been allowed to be Walmarted over the last 15 to 20 years...

If Moana winds up making 1.5 billion, then how can anyone justify a cheap overlay as a smart idea? it is sad and pathetic actually... True to form to the monkeys running TDO and the fans who defend anything Disney.. it is Walmarting WDW, putting it on a level just slightly above Six Flags... Tossing some paint on something and calling it new is what Six Flags would do... Not Disney...

if the movie is popular, and makes Frozen like money and has Frozen like popularity, then do it justice... Make a real ride... Not a cheap over lay, like Frozen is getting (In WDW anyway)...

The movie isn't even out yet.. We have no idea how it will perform in the theaters... The only thing I guarantee we do see is a meet and greet to promote the movie and new character...

How do you know the frozen ride won't be awesome?

Over the last few years Disney has added a huge improvement to Fantasyland, a new car land at DL. In the next few years they are adding avatar, that by all signs will be mind blowing, they are adding attractions to AK to make it more entertaining and can be open later, and adding a Star war land, and many more, soon to be announced attractions to AK.
