10 Years of Cancelled Attractions and Broken Promises - The Disney Decade | ReviewTyme

In 1989 Disney would declare the entire 1990’s as the Disney Decade, 10 years dedicated to expanding the Disney company and bringing the magic of Disney to people in ways never before imagined.

I’m honored to be featured in this

[@daver1161]

Philip Kippel lmao

[@1992disney]

@Hyperskreem 82 Isn't it obvious that he's one of those many, many brainwashed and biased Disney fans and even shills?

[@1992disney]

@Philip Kippel Quit being so butthurt, snowflake!

[@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices]

@Freddy H I mean, it was good with Pleasure Island, but after it closed DD lost that spark that it previously had and just became another one of those shopping centres. Disney Springs is a nice blend of theming and shopping centre. I like both DD and DS.

[@ashleygarmany843]

You should definitely do a Roger Rabbit's Hollywood.

[@AMagicProduction]

Gotta love Eisner’s ambition, and while yes, a lot of attractions did get canceled, the 90s were still good for Disney, and we got classic attractions such as Indiana Jones, Test Track, Tower of Terror and Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster

[@ReviewTyme]

Yep even with all of the cancellations the 90's still brought about some of the best Disney attractions of all time, imagine how different the Disney parks would be today if nothing was cancelled and everything was completed to a quality as high as Indy or Tower, it would be spectacular! - Luke

[@theotherguy4427]

As a Roger myself I wholeheartedly approve of plans for a separate video about that! It really is crazy how much Roger was in the parks and then...nothin'... I remember when I was young (having grown up in Europe) hearing there was a whole ride dedicated to him and was sick it wasn't in Paris or even WDW! The baby herman coaster is a great idea too!! Imagine if they made it today utilising the screen technology they have in Bourne Stuntacular! (obviously cartoon style haha!)

[@ParkMind]

Would love a future video on the cancelled Rodger Rabbits land as all of videos are amazing and well put togther. Some thing that researching on your own does not offer. Thank you for all you do.

[@haventesla8648]

second that!

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

It would've been cool if they actually replicated the Indiana Jones train scene at Disneyland and he ran on top of the cars. I like the current show at DHS but the Disneyland version sounds epic. Didn't know that hearse in front of the HM was meant to be used for the show

[@ReviewTyme]

During 2008 there was an Indiana Jones promotion at Disneyland called "The Summer of Hidden Mysteries", during it Indy would randomly appear on the balconies of Adventureland buildings and fight with thugs, it would have been awesome to see the train stunt as part of that promotion! - Luke

[@judyr9447]

Very interesting! I was a Disney World cast member for most of the 90s (94-2000) and didn't know most of it!

[@jacknorman7096]

I think that would be so cool to see a more in-depth look at Roger Rabbit's Hollywood! I had no idea that Baby Herman was even supposed to have his own attraction

[@The_Dudester]

The over projection now makes sense with a project in Texas. Disney bought the Renaissance fair in Plantersville then tried to buy (quietly) hundreds of acres around the ren fest. When the purchase was announced in the mid 90's rumors swirled about a Disney park in Texas. Since then, Disney has officially denied building in Texas several times.

[@denizalgazi]

Keep an eye on the upcoming TRON ride at WDW. Part of what makes TRON spectacular at DLShanghai is the gorgeous parabolic canopy. Before the Park's closure in March, there was no canopy visible at the WDW construction site, just a box enclosure for the ride. I am hoping that ousted CEO Bob Paycheck didn't scrap that canopy design element whilst he was head of the Parks.

[@QuinnLozar]

This is fantastic, I really appreciate all the content of this channel

[@GODCONVOYPRIME]

Quinn Lazer. That sounds pretty cool actually. 🤔

[@conniecrawford5231]

We always need more Figment! Give Figgy a new attraction! He has a huge number of fans!

[@samwilliams9919]

Fantastic video! Would love a video on the cancelled westcot!

[@angusmacdonald7187]

Euro Disney would have been far less of a flop if it has been set up in Spain. Cheaper land, more room, a place where Europeans actually vacation ... it would have been the smart location.

[@projectnightfall6882]

I'd take Tower of Terror and Indiana Temple over all the cancelled rides (which is ironic as neither of those were in the original announcement). It's just a shame the new parks didn't live up to what was promised.

[@SirBlackReeds]

The dark ride Little Mermaid attraction sure sounds much better than the one in DCA. Actually, Dick Tracy was a box office success, just not the one Disney had hoped it would be. I'm surprised Gigantic wasn't mentioned. It's cancellation is notorious.

[@lmc7394]

Love the Disney history content! Thanks for all the knowledge and joy you guys bring with your videos!! My favourite KZbin Chanel!

[@mattperri3786]

Dick Tracy wasn't "a critical/box office flop". It was a box office success and had mixed reviews at worst. It has a huge following, but declaring it an outright flop makes it sound like you didn't do your homework.

[@jrusselison]

Who knew you can make a lot of money in cartoons.

[@destroydarren]

Great video..... I would love to see a video about other cancelled Attractions at the overseas parks like Paris or Japan!

[@julianfuentes]

So cool, love the content!

[@jstorm7922]

Jesus Christ this channel is so good!

[@jakekuhl1]

A Roger Rabbit land seems so cool! Everything in that land, even today, seems much needed, for the underwhelming Hollywood Studios Do you think we're doomed to repeat this again considering we're currently in the largest expansion era since the Disney decade?

[@ReviewTyme]

I think Epcot is the most at risk of repeating the Disney Decade issues but we will be feeling the results of Covid for a long time in the theme parks, especially in relation to expansions. - Luke

[@hiridavidfeign]

I can't imagine a Dick Tracy ride that would still be popular today, so I'm glad that didn't happen. The big dud was California Adventure, which still doesn't thrill me except as a way to get away from the Disneyland crowds for a bit. This video is a very well made overview with lots of tidbits I didn't know. Thanks.

[@ReviewTyme]

Yeah it would have to be an incredible attraction that stands on it's own to still be relevant today if it was built (Like Splash Mountain) - Luke

[@FreedomforHaiti]

Yes, please do a video about the unrealized Roger Rabbit's Hollywood area for the Disney-MGM Studios! It looks like it would've been great!

[@chimneysweep0754]

we deserved that more impressibe Little Mermaid ride. i like the one we have but we deserved a better one

[@roberthellman5150]

Absolutely do the Roger Rabbit cartoon ride episode !

[@jonsmith6496]

Another great vid!

[@ReviewTyme]

Thanks Jon! Glad you enjoyed it! - Luke

[@SD-kx1se]

Roll introduction, say “Euro-Disney,” and close with end-credits. Somebody spent way too much time on this episode. :) It’s bittersweet Eisner saved Disney and then nearly killed it again. I’m baffled why he chose Paris, ask any American or Frenchman if it was a good idea, and they’re both going no. We’ve still got baggage from WWI and WWII.

[@carminecdinoproductions]

Here’s my list of awesome rides and attractions that should come to lots of Disney Parks around the world! - Space Mountain and Astro Orbiters for Shanghai Disneyland - Treasure Cove at Hong Kong Disneyland - A Fully-Realized Indiana Jones and the Lost Expedition for Disneyland in California, Disneyland Paris, Tokyo DisneySea, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Shanghai Disneyland - King Triton’s Carousel of the Sea, Jumpin’ Jellyfish, and Journey of the Little Mermaid for Mermaid Lagoon at Tokyo DisneySea - Aladdin Magic Carpet Ride for the Morocco Pavilion at Epcot’s World Showcase - A Fully-Realized Mt. Fuji Roller Coaster for the Japan Pavilion at Epcot’s World Showcase - A Fully-Realized Venice Gondola Dark Ride for the Italy Pavilion at Epcot’s World Showcase - A Legend of the Lion King Dark Ride and Lion King-themed Carousel for Disney’s Animal Kingdom - A Tarzan Rainforest Roller Coaster for Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Hong Kong Disneyland - A Journey of the Little Mermaid Dark Ride for Disneyland Paris - A Jungle Book themed dark ride for Disney’s Animal Kingdom - other cool rides and attractions

[@ReviewTyme]

Some great ideas Carmine! Lot's of IPs in there too so I can definitely see some of them coming! - Luke

[@JoseGonzalez-ek3km]

So Your not gonna replace jetpack and Tron at Shanghai with space mountain and astro orbiter

[@JoseGonzalez-ek3km]

Wow Those Are Good Ideas Carmine And I Also Want A Vampirina Themed Land Come To Gravity Falls And Disney's California Adventure

[@authorjosephj.madden4993]

The Runaway Buggy ride would have been awesome, but I'm not quite sold on all the riders wearing baby bonnets.

[@NOVELBITES]

Awesome video! So informative. One note: Dick Tracy is a 1990 film, not 1993.

[@rmannayr2129]

RIP CANCELLED ATTRACTIONS!

[@rmannayr2129]

SO MANY BROKEN PROMISES!!!!!!!!!!

[@craigfeldman]

Would love to see the RR Hollywood video!

[@eliassmeke3991]

Yes I really wanted to see a video about the history of Roger Rabbit’s Hollywood and didn’t came to be in the future

[@mikequarles1247]

Yes, do a video on Roger Rabbits HollywoodLand

[@mitchobrien8431]

I would like to see a video on roger rabbits hollywood

[@Rossturnerphoto]

I think the Dick Tracy ride would have been cool. Even though the movie didn't exactly have enduring popularity, I think the ride could have done well and may have even helped give the movie more of a cult following.

[@themolinas6]

It always leads back to Euro Disney

[@TjSamson]

Well the most of the 90s, always leads from Euro Disney.

[@conniecrawford5231]

Disney go rid of the namenEorodisney because the never got the crowds. I was there for the opening in 1992 and most Eoropeans thought the admission cost was far too expensive- and, of course, there were far too few rides and a lot of walk- through then!

[@ReviewTyme]

Yep unfortunately the failure of Euro Disney cancelled some of the most grandiose and creative ideas ever out of Imagineering! - Luke

[@ZontarDow]

Tragic that EuroDisneyland failed, should have just focused on the American market.

[@carminecdinoproductions]

Zontar Yeah! Disneyland Paris should’ve been opened in 1990 and done successfully so that lots of pretty cool stuff could happen and Frank Wells could’ve lived longer and not died in a helicopter crash!

[@TjSamson]

It took a while for Disneyland Paris to become fully profit and that's the time when Walt Disney Company took over the ownership.

[@ZontarDow]

@@TjSamson Disneyland Paris is 5 billion in the red

[@mikemancini313]

"A few years lateah.." 9:12

[@CrystalArcade457]

Can you make a video designing your own Disney theme park?

[@ReviewTyme]

Hey Sir Leeota! Dom and myself actually do have our own Dream Resort we've been working on for the last few years, one day we might share it with you all! - Luke

[@Emike-nc9ew]

I think we are in a disney decade,but is debatable.

[@JoshKenfield]

Please do a video on Roger Rabbit’s Hollywood.

[@brycevo]

If only. If only.

[@atribecalledjudah5436]

Yes RR Hollywood

[@jeffaltier5582]

I don't think you can underestimate enough what the death of Frank wells did to Disney. It took the life and energy from Eisner. And while there are plans made and scrapped all the time from Disney, I think some of these would have come to life.

[@queenmedesa]

Most of those attractions have disappeared or ruined today

[@DC73843]

Dick Tracy was a 1990 film, not 1993

[@danmorley6517]

Are we not expecting to see a similar outcome for most planned expansions for this coming decade? Am I wrong in thinking the coronavirus pandemic will mean a repeat of this? The nearest thing I have to a home park is Disneyland Paris and I really worry for the future there, the future was finally looking bright as well with all the plans for the walt Disney Studios park.

[@queenmedesa]

Disney screwed the Muppets too

[@MkR2398]

Do the Roger Rabbit's Hollywood video

[@ThemePark-TV]

Give us the rabbit!

[@spiritimagineer]

Please do a video on the Roger Rabbit Land!! Please!

[@ReviewTyme]

Hey John, we did a more in depth video on the history of Roger Rabbit's Hollywoodland at Disney MGM Studios here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqrEnIKcrKd-nNk

[@jessemask2562]

Eisner did more harm than good for Disney

[@1992disney]

Actually, that would be Iger and even Chapek. While Eisner was by no means a perfect CEO for Disney, he at least for the most part tried his very best, was driven by quality, passion, innovation, creativity, imagination, and especially originality, kept identity politics and socialist propaganda out of the entire company's products and content completely, and respected Walt Disney and Walt's legacy unlike both Iger and Chapek.

[@xr6lad]

I think Disney jumped the shark a while ago. They seem too be running down Disneyland and lost any real interest in it. And California Adventure is just a sad mess that I would not even bother to visit if I went back. Disneyland is a prime example of under investment and seems to be becoming more a small child's theme park then I've that encompasses all ages. Both my partner and I have said after watching a number of programmes on the place we don't think we would bother to revisit again.

[@carminecdinoproductions]

I wanna see these awesome rides and attractions that should come to Disney Parks around the world! - Walt Disney World - Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom - Epcot - Disney’s Hollywood Studios - Disney’s Animal Kingdom - A New Third Water Park for the Walt Disney World Resort - Disneyland Resort - Disneyland in California - Disney California Adventure - DisneySea Water Park for the Disneyland Resort - Disneyland Resort Paris - Disneyland Paris - Walt Disney Studios Park Paris - Tokyo Disney Resort - Tokyo Disneyland - Tokyo DisneySea - Third Gate Theme Park for the Tokyo Disney Resort - Hong Kong Disney Resort - Hong Kong Disneyland - Second Gate Theme Park for Hong Kong Disney Resort - Disney Town Retail, Dining and Entertainment Complex for the Hong Kong Disney Resort - Shanghai Disney Resort - Shanghai Disneyland - Second Gate Theme Park for the Shanghai Disney Resort - New Disney Resorts Around the World - Disney Honolulu Resort Hawaii - Disneyland Hawaii - Disney’s Paradise Kingdom Second Gate - Disneyland Dubai Resort - Disneyland Dubai - A Second Gate Theme Park - Disney’s American Adventure Resort/Disney’s American Dream Resort - Disney’s American Adventure Theme Park - Disney’s American Dream Theme Park

[@JoseGonzalez-ek3km]

Wow Those Are Cool Ideas

[@JoseGonzalez-ek3km]

And Carmine Crincoli I Also Want A Walt Disney World In Salem Oregon Chicago Illinois And And Sacramento California As The West Coast Version Of Walt Disney World

[@PatoSwag]

They all would of been cool

[@MD-wc2tc]

Roger Rabbits Hollywood please.

[@elwoodblues9613]

Well, they did let Light Magic go forward . . .

[@captgeorge75]

Disney parks today lack the magic they had prior 2000. New areas and theming are making them lose the charm they had before and are making them look like generic parks with movie franchises. For example, changing Twilight Zone theming for Guardians of the Galaxy and California Screamin for The Incredibles, adding the Star Wars and Toy Story areas to Hollywood Studios; don't get me wrong, I love all those franchises, but they're making Disney parks lose the originality that made you feel like you were literally entering a magic land. The essence of the Imagineers is lost nowadays.

[@ImagineerTim]

nice

[@AsrielDreemurr56]

Oh god don’t call the muppet costumes fursuits, I’m a furry and that’s just cursed

[@JamesTaylorMain]

Do they mean costumes?

[@animationfan957]

I will never forgive Disney for cancelling Roger Rabbit’s Hollywood and Beastly Kingdom. Disney should have never built EuroDisney/Disneyland Paris. Just imagine how different everything might have been if it wasn’t for the failure of EuroDisney.

[@TjSamson]

I'm the one that who is happy that Disneyland Paris existed for the recent times. If I were in the 90s, I would probably scratch my head too for Euro Disney.

[@dwayitis]

Sadly the 2020s decade at Disney is turning out to be another dud decade. All these wonderful and much needed new projects and improvements announced for EPCOT, a very dated and uninspiring park, are at the brink of cancellation due to Covid19 issues. And this year marks Disneyland’s 65th anniversary with absolutely no special celebration announced for it. Likewise for Walt Disney Studios Paris park, where some of the planned expansion appears to be in the chopping block. Likewise for Hong Kong Disneyland expansion where the Marvel expansion seems dead in the water. Just very sad. All of it.

[@TjSamson]

Disneyland doesn't recently do anniversary for like every five years recently. 55th doesn't have anything back in 2010. They would probably do when its 70th.

[@UmmYeahOk]

Yeah, I think 10th, 25th, 50th, and 60th. Most ten year anniversaries may see some merch, but that’s it. I think Japanese parks are the only ones that celebrate every single year, with 5th and 10th milestones having more merch and celebrations.

[@stanfordite]

Don't be surprised when the 2020s also sees the Disney company getting broken up by Congress under antitrust like Teddy Roosevelt smashing Rockefeller's oil empire with Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, ABC, etc. being taken away and leaving Disney left with only their homegrown assets such as the animation studios, the parks, Walt Disney Pictures, the cruise line, Disney Theatrical, Disney Channel, etc.

[@marcellokuler]

i dont know what to comment

[@oncebluemoon]

You have a tendency to be a bit of an Eisner apologist. Quite a few videos now you seem to shunt blame away from him at a steady rate, very little is ever truly his fault according to your videos. Now I'm not saying he was awful or incompetent, he had some great ideas early on that worked well, and he was a pretty personable, likeable face of operations, but as time went on it was clear he was way off (Disney Quest, Euro Disney process). Not that Roy and a lot of the other board members shouldn't also face criticism for signing off on these very shakey ideas. But to me it seems dishonest to paint Eisner a down-on-his-luck guy, it was as much his decisions, as it was the changing culture and climate of things at the time, and that shouldn't be underplayed. There's a difference between taking a chance that seemed good and didn't work out, and making poor calls.

[@cjryan88]

go woke go broke
