    Theme Park attendance numbers

    Once available, the report should show-up online here: http://www.teaconnect.org/publications

    Monsters Inc coaster greenlit and Spain coming to world showcase?!?

    Probably looking at $50 million for the pavilion and another $50 million for a small-medium attraction. But it could be much more than that. $20 million in a theme park doesn't go very far.

    Al Lutz: Tom Staggs stepping back and reconsidering many aspects of FLE

    I'm actually with you there, adding a live or SFX shows in one of those theaters seems like a missed opportunity... hopefully they add it sooner or later.

    Al Lutz: Tom Staggs stepping back and reconsidering many aspects of FLE

    ^^ I think you should experience WWoHP and then post on it.... it's really pretty amazing. The fact that you categorize HPatFJ as a "motion similator" means that you're expectations aren't as high as the land delivers.

    Sounds like Universal has years, perhaps a decade, before it needs to worry about this in any event.

    Eddie Sotto's take on the current state of the parks

    There's an Ozland as part of Universal Studios Japan, where a 30-minute version of Wicked plays. There's some good pictures if you google it. I don't believe there is a dark ride there though.

    Wasn't this the winning ImagiNations competition entry a couple of years back?

    Star Tours II in 3D for 2011 CONFIRMED

    Do you mean Burbank??? Why would Anaheim have any control over Orlando?

    Star Tours II in 3D for 2011 CONFIRMED

    Rumor has it that all the Imagineers will get a sneak peak at some of the ride footage sometime next month... *jealous*

    People Waiting at WDW for Harry Potter?!

    There are a lot of free lancers in the industry and people often jump between Disney, Uni, and the major design firms. Was a time Disney trained everyone, but now, like the film industry, people can start anywhere and tend to mingle a lot.

    Fantasmic closing?

    Not to add any fuel to a fire (I think at *most* WDI may be developing 2 potential roller coasters for the park, of which one will get picked) BUT, the rumor doesn't state that the coasters will occupy the space F! did, just that they'll replace it as an attraction, which in my mind could be...

    Fantasmic closing?

    Not sure I buy the two roller coasters part of the rumor. Maybe one of those is the long rumored Monsters, Inc. coaster, but I can't imagine they'd also be adding another one.

    People Waiting at WDW for Harry Potter?!

    The flying sequences of FJ are FAR superior to Soarin', more movement, and you're not surrounded by 50 people to your left and right and feet hanging above you.

    Last Year For Fantasmic?

    Not WoC, but they have explored doing a lake or other night-time show to fill the massive void they've created. I have no idea if they were encouraged by any of the blue sky plans or if its moving forward.

    Twilight Zone Tower of Terror Summer Nightastic drop profile details - SPOILERS

    Sounds like TOT's moving closer to the design of its California cousin (where we have that photo effect, only done with live video) I guess I'm in the minority here, but I was never a huge fan of the 5th dimension scene, the ride vehicle movement was great, but once the surprise of that wore...

    Work Could Start Soon at Shanghai Disneyland

    As per the recent shareholder's conference call, though the deal with the central Chinese government is approved, they have yet to sign a specific deal with the local Shanghai government. Expect the foot dragging to continue and the parks opening date to slowly fall back.
