Ah, gotcha. The shorter tails on the vertical ones I could take or leave! I’d still say scrap the perimeters in this segment.

Surprised at all the negative reactions toward this. I hope it’s a permanent change. One of my few gripes with the pyro of Luminous was that it way overused the perimeters during this segment and spoiled their effect in the finale.

B-mode is the moving forward and backward you describe. In A-mode, the vehicles would move forward, then halt while the guns sliced in between them. There wasn’t much room for the RVs to move around when the guns slid forward. The back-and-forth maneuver added for B-mode is probably intended to...

The correct answer. I would amend to say that, rather than dense, the park’s beignets are dry and papery. Jazz Kitchen’s are the real deal.

Maybe Florida should have committed to 1) not destroying Spectro Magic and 2) taking better care of Electrical Parade.

Anyone care to explain what we’re looking at around 4:42 in this video? Is this part of the Spaceship?

I’m talking about how the machine sprays glowing green fluid just off to the left as you approach, then it cuts off right before aiming at you. I think when you’re staring down the nozzle there’s supposed to be a glowing light as if the dip is welling up, but I’m not sure if that effect is working.

The DIP hose practical effect is back and looking better than ever?! That’s awesome!

This little theatrical cheat thankfully isn’t noticeable at all on the ride, so that’s good! Just another in the grand dark ride tradition of “Seinfeld’s Apartments.” Other examples that come to mind are Florida Mansion’s exterior windows switching sides of the ride path in the first few scenes...

I don’t think the boulder scene actually breaks that often, it’s just that it doesn’t reset in time for every vehicle…? I’m not expecting it to perform any more consistently tomorrow than it has in the last almost-30 years.

To my ear it sounds like it was replaced with “Think of the happiest thought.”

Where’s the RoE callback in World of Color One? I watched the show and I heard the line “We Are One” sung at the end. If anything that’s a callback to Rivers of Light, but more likely just a reference to the theme of World of Color One.

Definitely not. Since the day I saw that plan for the first time I’ve been counting my lucky stars it didn’t happen. Sends a chill up my spine. I have no beef with Journey of Water other than it’s messing up the symmetry of Future World. I wonder if they could have built a “colonnade” of sorts...

Tbh, Haunted Mansion’s own existing elements could use the attention. How is Leota’s face so out of alignment when in Florida she’s looked perfect for decades?

True, Disneyland’s Splash is quicker, but it does cover about the same ground that Florida’s does. I can’t exactly vouch for the sources of this but Wikipedia lists the length of Disneyland’s Splash as 2,640 feet and Florida’s at a hair shorter, 2,600 feet. I think you’re right about the...
