This is true, Its all about crowd control. You have to have something entertaining and holding people at the same time. Every large theater is there to take more people off the street at the same time.

For instance...at DisneyParis, don't they have a great Indiana Jone ride that would fit perfectly in that Indiana Jones corner at HS. Also, the submarines at Disneyland would fit perfect at Epcot around the living seas. I just think Disneyworld is the hub and all the other parks are spokes.
WDW can't possibly have every attraction from every park around the world. There isn't that much space. And if WDW did have every single attraction, what would people's incentive be to go and visit the other parks? While I would love to see the Indiana Jones attraction from DL plunked down where the Indy Stage show is in WDW, I doubt it will ever happen. It would cost a whole lot of Disney dollars and as others have pointed out in other forums, that Indiana Jones stunt show swallows thousands of guests for each show.
I kind of like the fact that each of the parks are different. It gives me a reason to dream about going to the different parks :D
If you're going to go for exclusive rides, what about Tokyo DisneySea? It has rides not featured at WDW either.

As for IJ rides, I would rather go for the IJ-TOFE over at Disneyland than the IJ coaster at DLP to replace the IJ Stunt Show at DHS.

They probably could (in theory) fit all the park attractions on the WDW property but then there would be a whole lot of walking. :D

I think one of the reasons they don't automatically clone every attraction for one park or the other is that it may hurt tourisim. For example, why would I want to go to WDW if DLR had the exact same experiences here with less humidity?

Well, I don't disagree but the problem is I will never go to Paris, Tokyo or probably even Disneyland-soooo My family will never gat a chance to experience those rides, shows or events.

I think you meant to say "would be even whole lot more of walking." There's ton of it now. :wink:

I think the point was that if it's called Disney WORLD, shouldn't it have every attraction that Disney has every where else in the WORLD. Therefore, DLR would not have the same experience was WDW, but WDW would have all the same experiences as DLR. So it would be the other way around: why would I want to go DLR if WDW had the same experiences, but loads more humidity? :wink: :lol:

Never ever say never, it always comes back to bite you. :D

For you, wouldn't it be "the same expeirence but with far less humidity"? :D

Never give up hope ~ I managed to make it to DLP and Tokyo DL and DisneySea. I still hope to make it over to Hong Kong DL one of these days, and any other Disney parks in the works. Remember, if you can dream it, then you can do it ~ yes you can, yes you can! ;) :lol:

LOL If you ever see me at DLP, Tokyo DL, DisneySea or DLHK then some alien has cloned my body and is enjoying the Disney experience at my expense. I just don't travel that well to ever go to those places. :D

My wife is from California and maybe some day way down the road we might consider a trip to Disneyland. Her Grandfather was a contracter and worked on building Disneyland.

Funny story-when I was in the military I had the chance to go to Disneyland but that was before I was a Disneyite and chose....Ugghh...."Knott's Berry Farm" instead. Oh if I had that day to do over again!! :cry:

:shock: Knott's?! :shock: Oh, sad, sad, sad. Well, at least you probably had fun, and now you know better ;)
That is pretty cool that your wife's grandfather was a contractor at Disneyland. I'm sure that would be cool to visit and know that her family helped shape a little part of history :D

The whole cloning thing isn't all that it's cracked up to be. My suggestion is to go yourself - and take your body with you too - to DLP or Tokyo Disneyland. Enjoy yourself, and don't worry about the aliens - they go to Alpha Centauri Disneyland. Out there in the galaxy, ACDL is da bomb. :wink: :mickey: :lol:
