Mods: I am not going to put this in rants because I don't consider it a rant. If it turns into one please move in to the corresponding rants section.

I have to wonder, why does everyone have such a problem with Pixar attractions? I have seen many of them this past trip, and I have to say I really enjoy a lot of them. Sure, they are put into the wrong parks sometimes, but why does everyone have a problem with them? I would really like to hear other people's opinion on this, it has always confused me why people cannot stand them.

I have often wondered this too!! Afterall DL and WDW was based on Walt Disneys movies/shows and Pixar is just the new generation of the company's magic. Could you imagine if there was no Dumbo, Snow White, Peter Pan, or any of Walts movies represented by attractions?

Just my two cents worth.

Well, I really don't mind Pixar attractions, but I think the reason why some people make such a stink about them is because the new rides being added are not based on true Disney "classic" films and instead Disney is capitalizing on the success of a partner's work (which really is 6 of 1, half a dozen of the other considering Disney now owns Pixar). I'm not sure how to say this, but I think those people feel let down that instead of Disney attempting to crank out a new "classic" (examples: Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, etc...) they are relying on others to do that for them and then just reeping in on the success of that by basing a ride off of it.

It's a difficult thing considering that Disney hasn't had a real hit in the animation department for years and basically hung it up and let Pixar handle all of that (shutting down the 2-D animation department I'm sure irritated a many Disney fan). Granted, Disney has made some wonderful live action movies in the past few years, but who wants to go on an attraction based on Eight Below where you follow around 8 dogs trying to survive the winter season in the Antarctic.

:rolleyes:

the answer is easy to why we HATE pixar rides the answer is they take away from the classic rides and use any room for them i do like the new cars ride and nemo ride but when they try to take away the classics thats way to far

That's very true!

But, I'm not big on all the Pixar Attraction mostly because of the reason Goofy just said. I even heard a rumor that WDW is getting the Monsters Inc. Ride. And honestly, I'd rather them take their time and make a huge attraction and not waste it on another kiddie ride. (Don't get me wrong, I love me some kiddie rides... but Magic Kingdom needs more??lol)

Anyways there I am blabbing about it. I have no problem with what they did with The Linving Seas though. They really need an update! :)

Hey, the Monsters, Inc. ride is great! Plus, it was a big success for Disney, driving a lot of traffic into the rather unfairly neglected California Adventure theme park.

I would like to see some new rides not based on movies at all. My favorite rides at Disneyland are Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, and It's a Small World. (Yes, I know, two of those have since been adapted into movies, but the rides were not originally based on the films). I'd like to see something more original, like those.

The sad truth is that the marketing department knows best: Rides based on established properties draw the biggest crowds. It's all about money, folks. That's why we have Star Tours and not Adventures through Inner Space.

Most of those attractions cannot really be considered "classics". Most of them were based on movies Disney has done before. Even Jungle Cruise was based on Walt Disney's True Life Adventure series!

It's a stretch to call it's a small world an original. It was originally built for the 1964 World's Fair, and was basically just moved to DInseyland and World.

I love these rides so much! Their always so exciting to see the movie then go on the ride then compare it to the movie. Lol i know i am kind of weird but I <3 it!

It's a stretch to call it's a small world an original. It was originally built for the 1964 World's Fair, and was basically just moved to DInseyland and World.
While it's true that the ride did not premiere at Disneyland, it was still an original Disney creation, and not an attraction based on an established property such as a movie. Those of us who did not get to attend the 1964 World's Fair are happy to be able to experience the ride today.

My point was just that It's a Small World (and yes, I know the name of the attraction is not capitalized, but I just can't bring myself to follow that convention) and the other rides I mentioned were original rides, designed as (theme park or World's Fair) attractions, and not copies of movies.

I do enjoy the movie rides (particularly Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and the new Monster's Inc. ride), but I would like to see something different once in awhile.

Expedition Everest is a good example of what I mean: The Disney marketing department probably wanted the new Animal Kingdom rollercoaster to be called "The Lion King Wildebeest Stampede" or some such baloney. I'm glad that didn't happen.

I would like to see more rides based on original concepts and not on existing properties. Imagineers, let's get imagining!

I'm one of these big "Anti-Pixar" people here. Why, do you ask? There are several points.

1. Pixar isn't truly Disney. I don't care what you say about Disney owning Pixar now; they are not truly Disney movies. Pixar is a third-party company, albeit an excellent one, that Disney bought to save themselves. Don't get me wrong, I love the Pixar films, but I'm really against all of this Pixarization.

2. Killing the Classics. Dreamflight, The (Original) Living Seas, Diamond Horseshoe, and now Timekeeper... they're all classics, which were replaced by Pixar attractions. Only one of the four Pixar replacements was worth it, and that was the ever popular Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. I've heard rumours saying that Carousel of Progress will close for a Toy Story Bumper Cars ride, and that the now closed Who Wants to be a Millionare will be replaced with "Midway Madness", completely overrun by Pixar characters.

3. Overload! Here's a list of currently open/confirmed/rumoured Pixar Attractions operating in the Disney Theme Parks:

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters (DLR)
Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters (DLP)

Am I the only one who thinks this is too much of a good thing? I wish Disney would create more attractions like Expedition Everest nowadays; ones that aren't based on some Disney movie or franchise. And if it has to be off a movie, can't it at least be one of Disney's actual films?

-skippyskippy

Skippy, Disney wants money. It's money they will get with Pixar. Sure, it's not the original, but classic rides can't last forever. They will become outdated.

Pixar is a third-party company, albeit an excellent one, that Disney bought to save themselves. Don't get me wrong, I love the Pixar films, but I'm really against all of this Pixarization.

Pixar has basicly become what a Touchstone or Miramax is. Owned by Disney, but still keeps it's own identity. In fact, I can name attractions that truely aren't Disney that I am sure you love. How about Lucasfilm? With wonderful rides like Indiana Jones Adventure and Star Tours, why are you not upset about them? They are a lot less Disney than Pixar is, but nobody really cares that they are in the parks. Why is that?


2. Killing the Classics. Dreamflight, The (Original) Living Seas, Diamond Horseshoe, and now Timekeeper... they're all classics, which were replaced by Pixar attractions.

As for ripping out classic attractions, that's four decimated by Pixar. I grant you this, I miss some of them. But come on, did Dreamflight really belong in tomorrowland? It was an EPCOT center attraction, at the least an Epcot attraction. As for other rides destroyed by Pixar:
I am quite sure you want Superstar Limo to come back in all it's glory then, don't you? It was replaced by a Pixar ride, yet nobody seems to have a problem with that. How come?

I know I left a lot of others off the list, but that's all I could stand to type. Disney has been using other's material for attractions for a while now. It's nothing new. There is no way you can deny that all of these were created outside of Disney, but Disney brought them in order to make some classic movies. FOr those fighting that Disney used to be original, they weren't always.

And there's my logical reasoning for your post. What I think really puts some of these topics to question. Why does everyone truely dislike Pixar attractions. Everything you listed as a problem has happened before, in some way, shape, or form. Yet nobody complained then, why now?

i even heard there getting rid of its a small world for a pixar ride

PS they have already gotten rid of the timekeeper at WDW lets not let them get rid of more

Personally all i can say is
those Rides are not bad..
but not good eaither.

Od cousre disney does not want to waste money they just spent.Finding nemo and the toy story collection are by far the BESt pixar movie . so im ok if they make rides with those..

but cars
monster in were not that great.
and the leastest pixar movie rataoulie looks terrible if they make a ride for that WE ARE DOOMED.

but all together

I dont care

AS LOng as the movies and rides are good ones

Well I've only been to Disneyland and I've only been on the old rides, none of the new. I will soon though for my Graduation Trip at the end of the year (We're supposed to go to Magic Mountain, but it's going to be closed so we're hoping for Disneyland). From the rides I rode at Disneyland, I liked them all, even the Pixar rides. They weren't all, "OH MY GOODNESS I NEED TO RIDE IT AGAIN AND AGAIN!", but good enough for me wanting to go back and ride again soon.

But from what I see in posts, people don't like the Pixar rides. Probably like what KEBSD said, they only want to make money (Although they're also losing money from building the ride in the first place).

So like I said, or intended, I don't have that great of an opinion on the Pixar rides yet. But if I do/don't like them, that's my point of view about it.


-Crazy

(Off topic: cave! clear you PM box >_<)

First, in response to Lucasfilm: The parks aren't overrun with Lucasfilm attractions. There are only a few (Indiana Jones + Star Tours), and those few are all excellent. Pixar rides are often mediocre and there are two many of them.

Second, I don't care what happens with Superstar Limo. It was mediocre, yet somehow delightfully fun, but not enough so that I wouldn't mind it being replaced. Monsters Inc. was a good replacement, I will grant you that. (I love some of the Pixar attractions... do understand that. Just realize that I don't like how many attractions they've been putting out lately.)

Third, practically all of those are Disney. Alice in Wonderland, Mr. Toad, Pinocchio, Tarzan, Snow White, Peter Pan, Pooh, Cinderella, Splash Mountain, Jungle Cruise, etc. The only things that aren't completely Disney that I can see on that list is Tom Sawyer's Island and the Lucasfilm, perhaps King Arthur.

Cars I would have to agree with you was not up to Pixar's usually standards. However, Monster's Inc. was a great movie, as well as a great attraction for DLR.
Also, remember. You cannot judge a movie just by it's trailer. I foudn Ratatoullie to be very engaging and funny.

So far all the Pixar attraction have been very entertaining, and very enjoyable. I don't think they have dropped the ball with a Pixar attraction yet.

Would these rumors happen to be coming from the same people that said the Casablanca plane in the Great Movie Ride is the real plane from the movie :rolleyes:.

That's just absurd, and will only stay a rumor. "it's a small world" is a very popular attraction, and will stay for a long time to come.

-skippyskippy

I do agree there . superstar limo was very borring but it was always fun seeing people confused faces at the end

What do people normally do with a boring book.
pick up a new one.
reallyu would you just look at the ride and say " its boring but lets keep it for those couple of people that like it" i am not talking about any ride in paticualr but really .

High is a good comparison you cant say that at one point in you life you changed your image to fit in maybe not forever maybe for a day or two. but why is that to fit in and to be " in".
right now pixar is great to some people so they are going to keep going with it..

like i said

you can keep making the pixar rides

AS LONG AS THEY ARE GOOD

Let the cat comfort you. :cat1: I don't see any problems with all the rides. It takes a number of years for a ride to become a classic. Most of the rides come from a movie of some type.



---Get Over Here!---------->

the small world is not confirmed but the timekeeper is gone the shut it down permantently last weak i was just there and it went bye bye

sorry for double post but any more thoughts on this?

the small world is not confirmed but the timekeeper is gone the shut it down permantently last weak i was just there and it went bye bye

The Timekeeper had been at DLP and TDL also, but they were closed down. They weren't replaced with Pixar attractions, so why aren't you upset that hey closed? WDW was the last one open, and it even only operated seasonally. The Timekeeper had run it's course, like every good ride eventually does.
-cave

ok i must say, i wish disney would create some original rides, as skippyskippy said "Expedition Everest"
But on the other hand, I LOVE some of the "pixar" rides.
I Think that the reason vmk does "pixar" rides is because people have seen the movie or whatever and it draws a crowd.
Most of the rides are very popular.
I LOVE going to MK and playing Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin and blowing my family out of the water lol.
So i think both things, They need some more original rides BUT keep the "pixar" rides coming

well disney declared they ARE creating a new park at WDW north of Animal kingdom which will have Villain Roller coasters they had an example which was jafars escape or something like that and Oswald bouncers (lol i know it weird but still a real really old classic)

so yea but the rides i said are EXamples they said

anyway also

the good Pixar rides are:
Buzz Lightyear Spin (WDW DLR)
Nemo Living Seas
and some more

Has this new park been confirmed? I thought the idea had been scrapped.

A new Park? As soon as I see some verifiable sources I'll be even happier then I was when I learned about Interstellar.

A new Park? As soon as I see some verifiable sources I'll be even happier then I was when I learned about Interstellar.
I know there were plans for a new park at Walt Disney World a few years ago, but then (due to the terrorist attacks, rising travel costs, and decreased tourism) the plans were dropped.

I have not heard anything about a new park since then, but, like Marty, I'd be thrilled.

Its an interesting concept all of these pixar rides. i havent ridden too many of them just the rides and shows that WDW has. I personally love the ones i have so far seen. Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin is one of my favorite rides in WDW. I love the addition of fish from finding nemo in the living seas. Its tough to be a bug is one awesome show. sure i do love the classic rides and attractions. Who doesnt love some of the originals? i mean Its a Small World is still one of my favorites to ride. and i love going and sitting on the Carousel of Progress and listening to "Its a great big beautiful tomorrow shining at the end of every day" but i have to agree that when they take down the classics that we all love to put in something (say pixar) just because of its success it really grinds my gears.

timekeeper was the first my ride my mom took me on when i was 6 and that the best way i remember WDW

timekeeper was the first my ride my mom took me on when i was 6 and that the best way i remember WDW
We all have a special ride we love, and are sad to see it go. But the truth is, why keep a ride that the minority enjoys, when the majority would be more entertained with a different ride?

If people aren't riding it, and you have a good idea, why keep it open? You can't judge the new ride before you see it, so it might me good, might be great, or a flop. They are trying something new.

P.S. (Off Topic) I am really annoyed at the fact High School Musical is in Tomorrowland. They should really be in MGM, or Main Street at the least.

For all who care now Pixar is a division of Disney. Meaning that pixar is only a production facility. It doesn't exist. So way do we care if i ride is Pixar we should care if a ride is good! So in conclusion are any of the "pixar" rides all that good.

Tomorrowland hasn't been about "tomorrow" in a long time.

When Walt Disney first came up with the idea of Tomorrowland, it was to be a place to showcase new technologies and ideas of the future.

Now it's a place for movie tie-ins like the Stitch and Buzz Lightyear attractions.

At least the other "lands" still have their appropriate looks and feels.

Tomorrowland is my least favorite part of the Magic Kingdom.

At least it still contains some of the mechanical feel. I don't mind it not being about tomorrow, but as long as it has something to do with science fiction or a mechanical feel, it should go in Tomorrowland.

Buzz Lightyear fits Tomorrowland. High School Musical, however, does not. Why not just put them on Main Street, that's about the only place they will fit.

I don't have a problem with Pixar-based attractions at the Disney parks. I mean, they do work together, after all, and Disney does own them (sorry Skippy). But, I look at that list, and it looks like a rather trivial list compared to the dozens and dozens of other "non-Pixar" related attractions. I will throw in my opinion that Disney needs to make more "originals", such as Expedition Everest. I believe they need to branch out to a higher level of creativity, but as for the Pixar, I really don't have a problem with it.

PS - Midway Mania is going to be based off of Pixar? That's news to me...

I agree. If nobody's riding the original rides, then get rid of them for something everyone likes. For instance The Making of Me. We arent at school for a reason! We didnt come to WDW to learn, we came to have fun.
I really like the pixar rides most of them are fun. But I do agree that they need more orginals.

I dont like HSM. And everyone brought up a good point... Put it in MGM!!
MGM needs some new attractions anyway.

[QUOTE=chorustwo;1123688]Here's a big hint for ya! Guess what? The Muppets thing isn't disney but it's cute. Neither Lights motors action.
thats why they just gor rid of lights motors action finally i hated that

Is that gone? I thought that was new just last year, for the 50th!

No way I dont think its gone. But Im going in October. I'll be happy to find out. But I dont think its gone.

the only 50th attraction they kept is soar'n cause it did so good

Not true. Last time I checked, Expedition Everest was still running :h-wink:.

good point but that technically wasnt added till this year and it isnt listed as a 50th attraction

I think that pixar isn't doing anything bad. Think about it. Would you like a vmk ride? That would be pixar. You would like it, right! Pixar is helping disney become more efficeint ( sp? )

Yeah thats why i just saw the show lol it is still there

Yes it was, did you see the signs they had promoting it? It said "New from Imagineering for the 50th, Expedition Everest!" I would consider that a 50th attraction, but I digress. Time to get back to the original topic.

Well that list is pretty much incorrect because many of those are Disney movies. Splash Mountain was based on Song of the South again Disney. Also Jungle Cruise was based on a Disney show i'm pretty sure and there was a Davy Crockett show made by Walt. Basically all the rides in your list are Disney movies or shows the only ones that aren't are Indiana Jones and Star Tours.
