I don't understand why anyone would think 2 coasters or headliners next to each other would be a problem. As already mentioned, TZ and RnRc are neighbors. BTMRR and Splash Mtn. are also neighbors. My question is, once MK has 5, or more, very popular rides, do you think they will become a tiered park??

I think MK has never and won't (or perhaps I'm too optimistic) move to tiering due to the much larger overall number of rides/experiences that carry and disperse the load.

Also, am I only the luddite who has to constantly change "do" to "due?" Probably.
 
And M&G. Kids love meeting princesses and Mickey!
While I agree they are popular they aren't a reason for the lack of tiering as they don't provide capacity.

You could add 10 of the most popular M&Gs in the world to Epcot and it wouldn't fix the tiering problem. Add 2 super high capacity popular thrill attractions and you probably could.
 


I disagree to an extent. You'd be surprised what is thrown around at Disney in terms of ideas. Martin said this is an idea of what is possible. Now I don't think it will happen and he even said its unlikely which makes me wonder why he even posted it then.

If it's true that the idea is being kicked around, regardless of how serious the talks are, "reporting" it could illustrate that anything is on the table/chopping block. Appreciate the things you like because when you have no control over the situation you don't know when you'll be without it.

I hope we don’t life in a world where Tomorrowland Speedway is saved, but Space Mountsin scrapped.

Good point - when Ratatouille and Gaurdians arrive - Epcot will suddenly have I think 6 Tier 1s (those plus Soarin, TT, FEA + Illuminations) and what about 6 Tier 2s? (SSE, Nemo, Crush, Land, M:S & Imagination) Seems like they will have to either expand the # of Tier 1s you can pick or get rid of Tiers altogether. DHS in 2019 has the same problem. A SW:GE tier, a TSL tier and an "everything else" tier???
 
I have a hard time believing they would get rid of SM. Martin said it’s being discussed and is a faint chance. I wouldn’t put too much into that at this time. :)
Oh i agree...except the fact the track is deplorable, and desperately needs the replacement that never happened. At some point I can't believe they can keep welding and fixing what is....
 
Why did they put two thrill rides next to each other in DHS. What a stupid comment. I know Martin is considered an accurate insider, but he pulls a lot of stuff out of his butt too.
Honestly I don't agree. Martin is very accurate, and his statement makes sense, why in MK where they don't need to pull MORE folks in, do they place two dark inside Roller coasters. It was my first thought as well. As for DHS, if you are talking RnRC and ToT, not exactly apples and oranges there, as ToT is NOT a roller coaster.

you also have as tier 2 in EPCOT the Character Spot for meeting Mickey, etc. and the Disney/PIXAR short festival

They could bump one or two tier ones down to tier 2 (probably Soarin as wait isn't as bad since they added the third theater) ... plus there is the new ride coming to the UK pavilion that I assume would be a tier 2 as is supposed to be a "C-level" attraciton or something (at least, that is the latest rumors I saw)
 
Just as an update, the book arrived and my daughter (4th grade) finished it in two days - she really loved it!
My 2nd grader has read the first chapter and says she likes it. It turns out my wife has already read all of the books (seems like something her husband should have probably already known, right) so the two of them can discuss it after she's read it.

Forgot about the character spot - we often burn a FP there. I didn't realize the shorts festival was a FP+. Could that be the attraction with the least necessary FP? Perhaps tied with poor Figment - we have never NOT walked on to Figment - like literally walked in and sat in a bunch of cars that weren't full. How does Disney not fix that pavilion?

we actually did use a FP for the short festival as we had two EPCOT days and were struggling on what to sue the FPs on and we hadn't seen it and thought maybe this would help cut a little time, but it really didn't do anything for us

We've had a few times where there was a bit of a wait for Figment in the building - but like 5-10 mins but that is about it

No sponsor to give them free money. And yes, it is a brutal embarrassment that they have this incredible symbol for EPCOT and are letting the thing most tied to him languish. It's not just the ride either. The queue, the after ride area. It is all pathetic and a disservice to Figment.

I also miss the area they had upstairs. I know part of it is used for a DVC lounge - but supposedly they still have the rainbow bridge and stuff up there just walled off.

I would love if for the 50th of WDW or failing that the 40th of EPCOT they redo this pavilion and bring back the Dreamfinder and Figment meet and greet and open up that upstairs area. Even if they wind up making the main ride Inside Out themed (as there have been rumors) make the upstairs focused on Figment and creativity and stuff like that
