They didn't have plans to destroy Toontown. The rumor wasn't taken seriously because it was never really discussed by Disney. The new land is targeted to replace Disneyland’s Big Thunder Ranch and take over backstage areas currently not accessible to guests, a company spokesperson said, adding that speculation “Star Wars” would replace or impinge on Mickey's Toontown was unfounded.Īn official announcement to the news media is a statement from the company. Also, they did announce a closing - Big Thunder Ranch. No the LA Times article is MUCH more credible because a company spokesperson was AUTHORIZED to say it to the news media. Also if you put the entrance to the Star Wars area in TT you might as well say god bye to the children's only area of the park because it will be packed with guests going into the Star Wars area as well as the TT guests and also what do you remove to make a Star Wars area entrance in TT? I assume Chip and Dales and Gadgets go coaster would be fatalities in this design also creating a traffic jam in front of Micky's house. My vote would be the theater but TT IMO is definitely another one that makes sense. What I want to know from the people who just cant seem to buy into the rumor TT is all but gone how do you purpose a second entrance into the Star Wars area? Because a Star Wars area with one entrance will IMO be a disaster. I just think nothing is set in stone at this point which is why they didn't tell us where Star Wars is going except for the vague part about it going to behind the BTR area. If I was designing this expansion I would personally keep TT and get rid of the FL theater for an entrance as has been suggested by other people. But I wouldn't count on it.įor me a unnamed spokesperson for the company is the same thing as a unnamed source for MC. There is still a remote chance that what the company spokesperson said will turn out to be wrong - either due to a change in plans or if it is just preemptive damage control. They quote a company spokesperson, which is much more official than 'a source inside the company'. Sorry, but as someone else said, the Times article is more credible than the original article from MiceAge. Disneyland is a big park with something for everyone. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, and that is ok. Superfans should be totally blue sky and that is part of what makes a community vibrant.ĭisney has plenty of evidence to show that Toontown is a very popular part of the park for a large segment of guests. That's ok, that's why there is a management team to take it all in and chart a path forward. Some ideas are good, but some ideas are very biased to suit a very very narrow audience, and some ideas sound good, but make absolutely business sense at all and would never be implemented. Suggestions are great, and it is very helpful in the planning process. For many reasons I believe, an honest appraisal would have shown it was a low probability proposition, especially with so many viable alternatives. For all that the speculation was wrong, there were plenty of legitimate reasons to speculate that Toontown might be demolished and none of them needed to be 'because I don't like Toontown'.There were, but honestly, when this rumor when wild, some in the industry dismissed pretty quickly.
