I guess this means you want to keep the discussion going?? 
OK then...
I agree that "Theme" parks build rides around their particular "Theme" (That goes without saying). What I said (yet again) is that the rides in DCA would have been successful regardless of the "California Theme". I also said that the "California Experience" Theme was a bad theme because people wanted two things out of a Disney Park....Characters and Attractions. I stand by that statement.
The remodel is bringing more characters and new Attractions. Disney has listened to the masses...and in some cases, listened to the silence of people not visiting DCA. |
I was referring to the Jack Sparrow theming of Tom Sawyer Island. The island is still part of Frontierland which is supposed to be about American south in the 1830's. Jack Sparrow and Co. are completely out of place.
There's no factual evidence that people only want characters in DCA. This is such a cop out and an excuse to let Disney put rides in wherever they want regardless of theming. What is factual is that in recent years Disney has only wanted to market their characters. That's why you don't see original stuff anymore. Everything has to promote some Disney film.
It's not about what guests want, it's about marketing.
