Re: What Disney Acquisition would you like to see more on the DLR in the future?
I couldn't really say whether it would be better, but I think it would certainly work. I only saw Cars fairly recently, and I can't say I particularly cared for it - I didn't hate it, but it just didn't really do much for me. A 50's themed California car culture ride could be a lot of fun, and would certainly be perfectly in line with the (nominal) theme of the park. But, like I said, there is a place for franchise rides, and lots of people (particularly small people) seem to love the movie. If you want to build a car-related ride, and you have a popular franchise titled Cars, well...the tie-in is kind of obvious.
You didn't really answer my question, though - do you disagree that there is a relevant difference between a franchise ride and a ride that draws on the themes and images of earlier works, but doesn't explicitly reference an existing title? And assuming that there is something we can reasonably call an "original" work, distinguishable from a franchise ride, do you think it has value in existing separately from franchise rides?
