No, that is not true. Every new person I have taken on the ride had to be told there was a yeti AA. You may think everyone sees the yeti because you spend your time on a Disney fan forum where everyone knows what to look for but I assure you, many casual guests who ride that ride miss the yeti...

I'm sorry but this argument makes 0 sense. Past Disney in this context obviously means pre-2006/8. I'm not saying Eisner and Wells would have fixed it but the only person who has actually failed to do so for "twenty years" has been Iger, i.e. current Disney. No one seriously is referring to 2007...

Casual observers "can't tell" the yeti is broken because casual observers can't tell he's there. They turned the lights off. Quite frankly, I would rather have an "obviously diminished," but visible B-mode yeti, than the current situation, where he may as well be removed entirely.

Nope, that's not what I said. FEA can be your favoritest ride in the whole universe, far be it from me to stop you. The toxic positivity arises from the expectation that threads like this can only be praise and any negativity will cause some fan to effectively crash out. For what it's worth I...

I know many fans are not going to see it this way but comments like this are exactly what one might refer to as "toxic positivity." Every decision that a business makes is going to draw some level of criticism. That is FINE. That is GOOD. Most of the comments here are positive. I don't know...

If someone in the film division has already dreamed it, then we can do it!

Is Disney giving us some free tickets I don't know about? Nobody should be grateful to the 200 billion dollar megacorp for inadequately investing in their underbuilt theme parks. Disney doesn't deserve praise for doing something they should have done 15 years ago.

Australia could work as well. However then you run into the question of IP. Disney has many popular Neotropical IPs. But they only have one popular Australian IP. So TA becomes the obvious choice for them. I would love to see them stray away from this obsession but I think we both know that's...

A quote from Joe Rohde when asked about why they don't exhibit North American animals at Disney's Animal Kingdom: "We tried to keep to animals that would thrive in the semitropical environment of Florida. And many of the animals that make America famous require a more temperate climate. Also...

DAK is, at its core, a great park that is extremely underbuilt. Meanwhile.... DCA is foundationally mediocre, at best. It's just not a well designed park on a fundamental level. Its problems go far beyond not having enough rides. Half of the park is cheap and tacky and the other half still...

Man those neon paint jobs look so bad on CTX's dinosaurs. Like legitimately they are so distracting to me. Why is it glowing orange? Alas though, I always enjoyed Dinosaur. I think it has been criticized way too much for not being IJA.

Nice. The pink was extremely ugly

Indeed. It's much better. CW is just "ride-go-fast!" and Rise is style over substance. Neither of them have any depth.

There are more animal trails at DAK that you aren't mentioning, as well as the Boneyard. I mean if we're counting stuff like Mickey Shorts and Disney Jr, then we need to count everything at DAK too. And with that in mind, DAK and DHS have a similar number of attractions: 15 for DAK & 17 for DHS...
