Other than it’s tough to be a big we’re there any other rides that predated their movie?And if we go way back, Sleeping Beauty Castle was built before the movie came out
I’m honestly rambling below this:We can do this all day...there is literally no way they'd break ground on a moana ride right now...maybe if the soundtrack was being sung in 5 or 10 years...
Before I saw Moana I put my guard up fearing the exact backlash Frozen got. It seems like as I was right. Just like Frozen the people shoving it down our throats are the “tumblr fan girl” type. Hell, one of the top videos on Facebook of Moana has the caption “I want a sequel immediately.” Considering social media this is why I make this case. Unlike Frozen they didn’t jump ship once they realized what they’ve done. I understood kids obsessing over it, because let’s face it, we did it. I grew up in the generation of constant Little Mermaid re-viewings, and I’m sure I did the same for The Lion King. That didn’t bother me since that’s something we did at that age. The social media thing did.
Back on topic at this point in their release cycles Moana is not the cultural phenomenon Frozen was. I don’t see those same kids obsessing like the previous movies mentioned. Personally I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw an attraction in the future, I just don’t think it’ll be within the next ten years. Plus Moana doesn’t give much ride potential as a lot of others. This is where I don’t like IPs, when it’s just shoehorned in. Don’t get me wrong I really liked Moana, I didn’t “love” it like I did with
Frozen. In spoiler because I’m afraid to admit I loved Frozen online. Huge Disney fan, saw them gradually build up to it with quality after so many misfires, felt like the renaissance movies to me, been too afraid to rewatch it because of the popularity. You know the usual. I’ve seen at least 70% of canon so I feel comfortable saying this and the following:
I understand where you saying it was just a wild rumor, and above is why I think the rumor started
