I think it could happen but there's no desire right now. I do think the property has some potential and the setting has A LOT of potential.

I had a friend who did it, and I he said that they take you on Haunted Mansion and Jungle Cruise... So you can save FP+ by not trying to get it for those two attractions.
Gonna be in Central Florida in a few weeks, and I really can't pass up the chance to go to WDW. Gonna be my first time going solo, so I wonder how that's gonna be. On the one hand I'll probably miss my family, but on the other I imagine it'll be so liberating to just do what I want when I want.
90% of all my visits to WDW have been solo. It is quite liberating to wake up and go to whatever park you want, ride whatever you want, eat whatever you want and not have to worry about someone's else's schedule, or what they want to do...
Ooph. Yeah, that Ant-Man ride looks terrible. Everything is so stationary and generic. It doesn't even look as good as Astro-Blasters. What a disappointment.
There are some brand new aerial pics of the new Hagrid coaster at IOA and wow does it look great.

It's no MIB Alien Attack...
This really does look fantastic. I'd love to plan a trip when it opens
Illuminations: RoE is closing September 30th and the new temporary show, Epcot Forever, starts October 1st.
Didn't even realize it would be 50, but you're right August 1969.
I wonder if they'll do something with/at/announced at D23 this year.
I don't fully know if I'm going this year but I HAVE been watching the news on it. I think I've only seen an art/costume contest mentioned. Plus that seems a little last minute for celebration announcements because the official anniversary is also in August alongside D23
Midsummer Scream already announced theirs
What I read was it's taking a year off? If cancelled it seems they'd want to be quite about it not send an email out.
Making a profitable event is hard.
Yeah, if they were going to do something for the 50th, I doubt D23 would be the place they would announce since it takes place at the same time as the actual 50th of HM...
Maybe it'll go down for a few weeks and they'll hang banners inside the ride celebrating the 50th... Maybe in the ballroom scene, as it would give the ghosts reason for dancing and celebrating...
Would be awesome if they announce that long speculate Haunted Mansion restaurant even if its a ways out.
As much as I'd love this, where would they put it? There isn't enough room unless you want to get rid of the courtyard and relocate the entrance to the train station, or just retheme the restaurant across from it.
Not sure about Disneyland but the speculation for World seemed to have a good location
along with haunted dock theme leading you around back and into the actual restaurant.

I would also but I could see an announcement around the property's anniversary and by the time it is open it will be Magic Kingdom's 50th anniversary.
I kinda doubt it happens regardless as the speculation really died off on it.
Feel like there was first talk of it like 5+ years ago, kicked up from the massive success of Be Our Guest.
Then back in 2017 it really picked up but soon after Pandora opened, Tron got announced, Galaxy's Edge got into full gear and the new speculation about Dinoland being replaced in Animal Kingdom(potentially with Indy taking over Dinosaur) it went silent.

So what do you guys think will happen to Simpsons World at Universal? I would hate to see it go because they did such a great job with especially the Springfield area

Personally I do not think anything will happen... I think Universal will just pay licensing fee's to Disney to continue to use the Simpsons...
Hey I helped with that article! lol
I think Universal will continue to use the characters till around the contract is up then make an approach on another IP for the area.

How? Universal's contract has them hold onto the theme park rights into perpetuity. Simpsons ends sometime around 2028.
They'll probably keep it going unless something nuts happens between then and now
It just seems like a huge waste for them to not renew especially since they invested so much money into it a few years ago.
I agree. I wonder how profitable having the attraction is for them. I can't see Disney really using the ip in their parks. I hope they renew the contract but if not I hope they replace it was something great
I believe the limiting factor isn't profitability but the ride system reaching end of life.
They're not going to get rid of those areas and invest in something big because they are going to have the Fantastical Worlds park opening in a few years and I am sure they do not want to drop a ton of $$$$ in one of their current parks to retheme two areas... I can see them maybe re-skinning the MIB right into some other IP...
They might update MIB to coincide with the new Chris Hemsworth film I suppose 🤷♂️
Did they update MIB for any of the sequels? I haven't been on it since before 3
That I could see them doing.... heck, they may not do anything at all, who knows at this point. I mean right now they have Hagrid's ride, the new JP coaster ride, and an entire 3rd park to contend with...
Im going to be broke from Galaxy's Edge before it even opens.
That Galaxy's Edge Ahsoka plush and replica sabers are immediate purchase as soon as they go up(among others)

If I end up at WDW this fall (looking at early Dec) and I can get into Galaxy's Edge, I think I would actually build my own saber... Now, mind you, I do not currently own any of the retail sabers and have never really wanted to, but there something about this whole process that is appealing to me...
probably will as well, but just looking at them at celebration.
I have to get Ahsoka's, then I saw the temple guard saber today which was another must buy.
seems it will be the only way to get a yellow saber.
They also said something about the "button" determining the basis of your custom saber design. I wonder if we pick it or if it is random.
The Offensive and defensive buttons that lead to the ancient saber designs seem much cooler than the other custom.
if we pick im definitely going for that button.
I love Star Wars but don't own any sabers, I might end up with 4 after my trip to Galaxy's Edge.
Lightsaber bases start at $109 and to add a blade it's $49. I'm having a hard time justifying that.
They showed what the light sabers would look like on the SW Show from Celebration and they looks nice. They showed Ashoka's Lightsabers and it seems they come in a nice case with the characters insignia on it...
