LEGO Disneyland Theme?

Thinking Globally -- create a minifig series of the different costumes/characters of the world, throw in a tune that you can't get out of kids heads, and make parents go on a ride over, and over and over.. It would sell, and those who have never been to or heard of the 'small world' ride (consider yourselves lucky) would still be interested in collecting the differently themed costumes of the world.

I'm not surprised that they are bringing out a set of Disney CMF. The market for such a crossover toy would be huuuuge.

I want a Pirates of the Caribbean ride, and a Haunted Mansion ride. Oh wait LEGO already did something like that.

It's a small world with sound brick playing the song on endless loop.

I should build the mighty microscope from Disneyland's old Adventure Thru Inner Space ride. It might be a fun project. Adventure thru Inner Space was my favorite ride at Disneyland when I was a kid. I was sad when they closed it.

The iconic castle isn't making its debut. The iconic castle is at Disneyland in Anaheim. The LEGO set is based off of Orlando's Cinderella Castle.

Different generations may see different versions as "iconic". The Cinderella castle is the one I remember from the opening sequence of the Wonderful World of Disney TV show in the 1970s, back when most people I knew had 3 channels to choose from. 

I don't know if a Disney Theme Park theme would sell, as trying to replicate the rides could get a bit restrictive. But a general Disney theme with looser connections to the castle could be another approach. The castle would be the centerpiece, surrounded by sets depicting classic scenes from other Disney properties - sort of like when "Once Upon a Time" brings together characters from various Disney mythos and tosses them all into the same town.

I agree, and I think doing little vignettes or whatever is really the only way to capture the Disney theme.  You can't really replicate most of the rides, but you could do scenes to represent the themes.  I'd buy them I know, but I don't know how popular they would be.  If they did some of the Main Street U.S.A buildings in a modular theme, that would be amazing, and lead to some amazing displays.

I've said this time and time again and i keep repeating myself like a broken record.  Lego will of course NOT make a fully functioning replica of say PoTC or Haunted Mansion BUT like they did with Hogwarts Castle or the Deathstar, Lego can come up with build sets that scale down the famous theme park rides to still make it somewhat reasonably priced combined with playability and a medium level build
