I have no knowledge one way or the other if these "capacity expansion" rumors are true, but if they are, it seems like a very strange way to go about things. If they want to lessen the load on TSMM and Soarin', they could just as easily build a new attraction that everyone wants to see. It...

I too was wanting to book Maelstrom for my October trip, and have been wondering why it wasn't showing up. It seems to me that if Disney really is closing it for a makeover in a little over a month, they would have announced it by now. They have nothing to gain by keeping that info secret. All...

Very nice! That is actually more creepy than anything currently in the mansion.

Don't let these jokesters fool you. There is no hidden Elvis in the attic. He is in the graveyard.

This is the way it should work, the way we want it to work, and the way it usually works. But it is undeniable that this process has nothing to do with Prince Charming (non-possessive) Regal Carousel. The Carousel is the exact same ride it was before, save for a sign change. Not a single...

This ride is too awesome. Rode it 2.5 times today (it broke down halfway through my second ride and we had to be transferred to a new cabin). Hard to talk about without giving everything away, but here are the highlights: 1) The clarity of the screen is stunning. I have never ridden a...

That's awesome news. When they switched Muppet Vision to digital, the difference was stunning. Can't wait to check out France.

I was at DHS today and saw that at some point in the last few months, the big tank from Last Crusade (outside the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular) had undergone a complete refurbishment! Sorry if this was already reported and I missed it, but the entire area has been redressed, and the...

Fflewddur Fflam, obviously.

So with this new load zone, HM will theoretically not need to slow/stop as much for wheelchair boarding? I'm still struggling a little with what Disney is doing here. On the one hand, I LOVE that they are lavishing so much attention on an older classic. Between the new scenes from a couple...

I posted some pics and an early review over at parkeology over the weekend, and I was surprised by those tigger springs as well! They were sinking down a good 8 inches or so even with small kids on them. How long till the lawyers shut that one down? I still can't figure out how these areas...

Love the name. It's very classy and the concept art looks nice to boot. Looks like all of the new venues will be external operating participants, which is okay considering West Side is like that, but it would be nice to see one whimsical Disney offering, a la Adventurer's Club. I'd much...

I actually am surprised to see a lot of dislike towards PPF. I do think it could use a rehab, but it's in my Top 5 for MK. It's positives far outway the negatives: The unique perspective of the flying boats is simply brilliant. The music is magical -- much more so than on Snow White The...

Which is why I said in my original post that there was no one else around. Thanks for the fresh breath of moral authority though!

Yep, they have 2 rows, so they can fit 4 adults rather than 2. I believe the ride itself is almost identical to Disneyland (this is hearsay; I haven't actually visited Paris).

yeah, the ride could really stand to be brought into the 21st century. It lags significantly behind Disneyland's version in terms of magic. Heck, a little fiber optic would go a long way. And if they could add Paris's capacity-boosting boats, that would be a huge plus as well. That said, I...

Had a chance to ride Peter Pan's Flight last week with almost nobody else around, which finally afforded me an occasion to snap some interesting pictures. Some of the shadows that you see in the ride are decidedly unshadowy. Thought you all might get a kick out of seeing them. Head on over to...

I was at the second show of the night (Anthony Daniels, Seth Green), and I was severely underwhelmed. I had gone in thinking this would be the "premiere" offering for the night, something fresh and wonderful, but what I got was the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular... with Star Wars...

I don't have any actual info, but if I was a betting man, this would seem to be the most logical answer. I had heard that some demo of River Country had begun.

There is one big argument against replacing the stunt show with the ride: Cost. But other than that, the ride is the better business choice. Consider: The Stunt Show has a big cast, most of whom make a higher pay grade than the average attractions CM. Not to mention the extra liability...
