Disney’s Broken Theme Park Promises & False Advertising

For all of Eisner's faults, he understood park theming and integrated it seamlessly. Iger only cares about dumping more Disney IPs into the parks. Blizzard Beach would be all Frozen if Iger created it.

For all his faults (and there are plenty) I have more respect for Eisner than the current people in charge at Disney. At least Eisner was thinking of big creative ideas that could make them a lot of money, even if they did lead to a lot of risks not panning out, and losing money in the process. At least he made an attempt to be innovative. Today, Disney plays it so safe that, while they are making a lot of money, they've stagnated. They're not innovative. They're not creative. They just exist to make money, not history.

Nowadays, I get more upset about what does get added to the Disney theme parks instead of what doesn't.

The bit of false advertising that always gets me is the fact that they were using footage of a functioning Yeti animatronic to promote Animal Kingdom well into the 2010s.

Disney may disappoint, but Yesterworld never does

I will forever wish for the Eisner era to return. There were tons of misses, but it felt like everyone was actually trying to take big swings and when they hit, they hit HARD.

I sorta feel like we need a part 2 considering the promised and cancelled content for Galaxies Edge,Mary Poppins at Epcot,The Theater at WDW Mainstreet,The Watch Tower at Epcot,The Play Pavilion at Epcot and others I know I’m missing.

I still wish Disney was able to both give us Thunder Mesa and a proper Pirates of The Caribbean in Florida.

I want to go to the parallel universe where Michael Eisner decided not to build Euro Disney.

The longer gap between videos, the better they are. Been watching this guy for 4 years and he never gets old.

This reminds me of the most recent Universal Orlando commercial which features a direct jab at Disney: “It’s more than magic……It’s for real.”

I think the Avengers Campus Quinjet ride would qualify as a broken promise. It was going to be part of the land's Phase 2 stage, but it was put on hold due to the pandemic and was ultimately cancelled with the building being used for stunt shows and the ride being scrapped for a new ride featuring King Thanos.

YES! FINALLY A NEW YESTERWORLD VIDEO! I used to pray for times like this!!!

I was an opening team cast member at animal kingdom in 1998. this video brought back so many memories I can’t believe it’s been 25 years.

still wild to me that universal's "Life of pets" ride was 100x more complicated and intricate than Disney's new Spiderman "ride"

Disney hasn't learned at all, they still announce most projects too early and people end up disappointed

Such a great deep dive into the cancelled projects. Great video and i'm sop glad you made this!

Wish there was an Alternate Universe where all these experiences where built in a Disney Park.

29:03 Judging by the size, prominent toothy grin, oni like appearance, and the raiment (I hope I used that right) held behind his head, I believe that MIGHT be meant to be a depiction of Raijin, the god of thunder, lightning, and rain in Japanese mythologies. I can only imagine that, given you're riding through Mt. Fuji, the idea would have been that you've accidentally bumped into him due to Fuji's impressive peak bringing you a little too close to the realm of the gods and it's time to skedaddle right back down, posthaste. Many tales in Japanese mythology note that there are locations where the boundaries between the human realm Heaven (the realm of deities) and Hell (realm of demons) are weak enough where one can slip through by various means and Mt. Fuji's peak even has a shinto shrine dedicated to the kami (gods) of the mountain, so that would have been...shockingly culturally on point, even if totally by accident.

Finally my favorite Theme Park YouTuber uploaded! It's kinda disappointing how Disney cancelled Beastly Kingdom that one hits the hardest because I love Dragons and having a roller coaster themed in a Dragons Den would have worked and I'm hoping one day we can get a Tamerial Theme Park and we can experience Alduin chasing after us in Skyrim!
