    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    Has Disney going Meta ever worked for them? Under New Management, Incredicoaster, Mission BO, the preshow for Cosmic Rewind, Journey Into Your Imagination....Disney needs to just go is in what they do best, telling an earnest and charming story instead of trying to be hip and wink at the audience.

    Do you think Disney would ever bring back the original Star Tours for a limited time promotion?

    I wish. The original was a much better experience than The Adventure Continues. Especially now that they keep having the sequences jump around in time that don't match the queue. The new one feels like we are just dropped into random video game scenes. And when your 3-D glasses are broken...

    Wow, I didn't realize how much they had butchered it for the WDW version. Not my favorrite, but at least its not talking to the guests. Maybe this is a more lateral move than I thought for the East Coast.

    Did B'rer Rabbit say that? I remember him singing "moving on taught me a lesson" as an alternative evolution of the Zip-A-Dee-Do-Da song that was the finale. Characters singing from their heart is a standard in musical theatre which Disney films took a lot from. Characters just saying what...

    Yes, but the characters never spoke to us directly except for the vultures and the Take Me Along Gator. The Gator never said, in all pleasant tones, "wow, I suuuure wish I could go with you to the Laughin' Place! That B'rer Rabbit is soooo fun, isn't he? Good luck y'all!" We got tension in...

    I'm just speaking purely on human nature. The sensation of falling or being pulled backwards activate the fright parts of our brain. It is hard-wired into us. Just as human beings are inherently afraid of spiders. Sure, some people may not be, but they are the exception and not the rule.

    New Tomorrowland. Is this the year it finally gets announced?

    I'd rather see a great stage version of Tangled in the FL Theatre than another generic FL attraction like FEA. And TL has a live performance venue already, do we really need another one? For...cover bands and Star Wars-themed shows that should be in another land.

    I've explained it previously. It was meant as an analogy for when a ride makes us feel one thing and then Disney tries and tell us that we should be feeling something completely different and contrary to the ride's original design. That our internal feeling is incorrect.

    New Tomorrowland. Is this the year it finally gets announced?

    Space has a lot of it as an overflow queue, but Space also has a huge center area not utilized at all except for a false landing pad. And a theatre below which sits empty. I'd love to see Space given a proper queue and the former Starcade space also used for something.

    TBA will end with guests being magically transported to Disneyland. Animatronic Walt will be singing and along with Tiana and her critter friends.

    Don't forget that sentient Ghost Galaxy that tries to attack us. Or I guess, an Eternal for Epcot's Ghost Galaxy.

    I apologize if I used the term too broadly. I thought I was clearly speaking in an analogy of being told to experience something one way that is contrary to how the experience makes us feel, but that wasn't clear obviously.

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    You are absolutely correct. All people are different and all rides can be different. I was just speaking generally about lift hills and drops and the psychological effects of such features in attractions typically. I'm also using our knowledge of this upcoming experience and comparing it to...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I will say I am in the minority, but there are still quite a number of people on these boards who have said the same thing. I've written out my defense of the 2.0 TOT somewhere in the DLR forum awhile back. Everything to the ghost story being focused on more than iconography from the show...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I love the film the term originated from. But I would call convincing someone that the experience they are having isn't accurate and correct to be gaslighting. Sure, for a theme park ride it isn't some dangerous exploitation tactic that causes trauma. But it is like my mom dragging my sobbing...
