    Hulk Coaster Details Revealed

    We rode the Hulk coaster today for the first time since the humongous refurb. Totally confused as to what the point of replacing the track was, because it was just as rough and painful as it was before. It's probably the second roughest steel coaster I've ever ridden after Viper at Six Flags...

    Skull Island: Reign of Kong from construction to opening

    Rode Reign of Kong twice yesterday. Between the two times through, we got to see all the effects in operation. The strangest thing was that the first time, we went outside after load and through the big entrance gates.The second time, instead of turning left to go outside, we went straight into...

    Wizarding World of Harry Potter review (spoiler safe, and non-spoiler safe sections)

    Rode FJ twice today, so I figured I will briefly post some thoughts. The ride was pretty good, but I still consider Spider-Man as Universal's best with a handful of Disney rides above that. Taken with Hogsmead, the queue and the ride, I would say it's now Universal's overall most immersive...

    The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - soft opening status

    Ok, well... we went back to Potterland today and I rode forbidden journey twice. So I guess I have info that could be extremely useful to anyone who's afraid they may not fit into Harry Potter's enchanted flying coffins. Apparently, the test seats outside of Hogwarts lie. I was told I could not...

    The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - soft opening status

    well, I'll post this in this thread, since this was where I checked everyday for info prior to heading out to IOA. The wife and I visited Potterland today. On a day where I rode fearfall, dueling dragons, hulk, mummy, rockit, etc in the regular seats, I was told for the first time in my...

    Harry Potter....and it looks amazing

    ok, so setting aside the hilarious back-and-forth arguments between the people who aren't ready to crown the Potter ride as the greatest thing a person can experience with their clothes on vs. those who think the naysayers are in denial because their grandma's gardener's ex-BFF's sister's dog...

    Take a walk through the line of Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey

    ZOMG u guys!!!!!!!!!1111! I watched this video awhile ago and it was so amazing that it immediately cleared my socially crippling acne right up! After two more viewings, I was certain that the Harry Potter theme park represents the pinnacle of human achievement, so I forwarded it to my...

    JH MuppetVision 3D reopening report

    We saw the Muppets 3D at about 11am Saturday morning. The digital projection was absolutely beautiful. It was bright and vibrant. There were no ceiling fireworks, the "Let's burn rubber!" smoke effect didn't work although you could hear the loud blast of air that's supposed to push the smoke...

    Weird Al does Jungle Cruise

    Seriously? The four or five people who are now famous that were once Jungle Cruise skippers vs. the hundreds of thousands that never went anywhere somehow negates the song? Good song and very true. The tune "CNR" of the same EP is incredible, I think they did a video for it as well.

    Cronkite slept in the Swiss Family Treehouse ?!

    There are still people catching naps in the parent's room in the treehouse to this day. Earlier this year when I was working 3rd shift at tiki, I would take care of the treehouse on friday and saturday nights, (along with the shooting gallery and tom sawyer island.) I always walked the...

    Mr Blue Bird Lives..

    If the leapfrogs are not on, it's because they are turned off in the tower with a couple other water effects. We've never had a problem with the leapfrogs since I've been there.

    Mr Blue Bird Lives..

    It wasn't that Mr. Bluebird has been broken this whole time, he was with artist prep getting beautified. The one in the show was a static figure. Sadly we took out the gator with the concertina (accordian) the same night we reinstalled mr bluebird. I was hoping we could have a weekend with every...

    something needs to be done re: flash photography

    Seriously, it's getting way out of hand. It blows my mind that people care so little about spoiling attractions for the other riders that they just flash away. It's worst on Pirates and has been for awhile. The wife and I went to mk on saturday, epcot on sunday and saw flashes on nearly...

    Fire Near Epcot

    Looks like a big fire, as I live at 192 and 27 and there is a huge plume of smoke over 192. If it's on property, it's going to be really bad.

    New Toy Story Mania Promo Clips

    Having worked at Disneyquest for several years (not currently, I'm at the studios) I can tell you that the lanyards being pulled out of the cannons by guests is pretty common. But maybe sitting in a seat right up to the cannon on toy story mania will stop people from really wailing on them like...

    ripoff disney theme park

    Thanks, that was awesome. My girl and I actually cried from laughing so hard at the "rusted out stairway to nowhere" picture. And what was up with the nazi building in the picture below that? That place was incredibly empty, and it was indeed very creepy.

    ripoff disney theme park

    I remember at one point seeing pictures of theme park that was basically a ripoff of WDW. It may have been located in Germany. It had a castle, and a geodome that looked like a cheap spaceship earth knockoff, plus many more WDW similar attractions. Anybody know what I'm talking about, or am I...

    can anyone help me with DisneyQuest Chicago?

    I work at DisneyQuest and I'm trying to find some info on the short-lived Chicago DQ. I tried to go once a couple of years ago, and it was actually completely filled and they weren't allowing anyone else in. I'd like to see some pictures, maybe a guide map of hear comparisons with the orlando...

    Spiderman Is The Best Ride Ever

    While, I love the Spider-Man attraction at IOA it does have many problems that keep it for being "perfect" for me. First off, the explanation of your ride vehicle is just thoroughly retarded. If this vehicle is a "news gathering vehicle" why are the people inside even needed? The other problems...
