    The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

    It really would be nice to see a little more of that legit antiquity brought to life. I don't think Disney would really make rides like that anymore, but - steering back to 3rd park ideas - I'd love to walk through Roman streets, or a Grecian village, or a Babylonian garden. It's the sort of...

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Boy I do too! Rides like that were like the equivalent of a good illustrated storybook where your eyes (and brain) were free to go all over the place and find something. Today’s attractions feel much more like they were made by filmmakers than illustrators. “Look HERE, now look HERE!”...

    News Jill Estorino Named President of Disneyland Resort

    You may have a point, but in fairness to TP, I’d call Iger quite folksy compared to D’Amaro.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Wizard of Oz segment at The Great Movie Ride disagrees. But besides that, I concede your point: Most IP based attractions don't immerse guests in crowds of animatronics. Really the whole concept of 'cocktail party' is rooted in the technical limitation of continuous looping action. As soon as...

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I still don't really understand what that projection mapped face is good for. "Hey, a tear can now trickle down the face of the figure, or a scrape can appear when it wasn't there before!" Unless you are either up REALLY close or you are in a very contrived story where you are required to...

    News Jill Estorino Named President of Disneyland Resort

    This is potentially good, but at the same time she could be talking about "what do people who don't currently come to our parks want to see in order to make them want to come?" I'm sure she understands that one in the hand is worth two in the bush, but causing DL fans that keep coming anyway to...

    News Jill Estorino Named President of Disneyland Resort

    Well, I assume these changes should indicate that whatever “master plan” D’Amaro and Mazolum had in mind for DL will be implemented.

    I don't know, I'm only guessing, but there may be market research that indicates USH's strongest hook for potential guests (beyond the immediate local audience) is still the "Wow, the actual Universal backlot!" nature of the place. So it's attracting a lot of visitors intending to 'experience'...

    Haven't seen it yet, but I'm assuming the "preachy" aspect is "destroying animal's habitats for some expansion of human infrastructure is bad"?

    More like stream or creek. But hey, it's water ambiance which is nice.

    A waterpark doesn’t need to be interesting enough to get people to GO to DLR, it just needs to be interesting enough to get people to stay another day.

    Wreck-It Ralph Attraction Coming to TDL in 2026

    TDS and DLP. When you build it right the first time, you don't have to do much for the next few decades.
