Pushing this to July would be frustrating for sure. Hoping that's not the case, but the permits seem to paint a different picture.

Nearly 100% of the Shanghai queue is indoors whereas significant rides like Rise, Flight of Passage, Tiana, and Seven Dwarves have significant outdoor portions of queue. Magic Kingdom could still have a ride on the size of Shanghai just with a larger portion of the queue being outdoors (possibly...

Watch from 8:31 to 9:12 of the below POV (I don't think I need a spoiler tag for a ride that's 10 years old now, right?). As other's have said, it a small lift and drop (and by small, it can't be much more than 5-8 ft... I can't find an official number)

Apologies, I was slightly off, but only by ~9K sq ft. The entire building is ~170K sq ft: However, the portion actually occupied by the ride is only about 91K sq ft (counting void space within the ride layout):

You know what would have prevented this? If they had finally built that dome over the property! ;)

There's a lot that I really like about Tron, but a lot that really breaks the experience for me. I think the outside design of the attraction is beautiful and I love the kinetic energy (one of the best attraction entrances in recent years), I love the queue portion above the launch, and I love...

My rough Shanghai Pirates show building size (based on Google) is about 82K sq ft (not including queue). The current permits show a building roughly this size for Villians land, so it's not out of the question.

So, what you're saying is that @lentesta was right and Tom was wrong? ;) #JusticeForLen

As much as I love ENG, the ONLY reason to include this for a coaster is for the "pull the lever" scene (either a tilt coaster or a drop track). Im not opposed to either, but I feel this is just asking for comparisons to Hagrids. As for the Maleficent boat ride, I could see this being pretty...

Ooo.. you are so not going to like when they announce the EE retheme to "Monstes Inc: Adorable Monster Mountain Adventure" at the next D23 (though I think everyone will enjoy the new lemon snowcone stand) ;)

This is probably one of those "whichever option you choose, you are right" type situations!

Are we expecting that this will have the typical cycle of a "new" ride opening (cast members ride, pass holders ride, GP rides) or is this more likely to just be closed one day and open the next (to everyone) with minimal notice? The "movable hedges" are nowhere to be seen, so it seems like we...

I feel like of the known dark ride systems that Disney has in their repertoire, this has to be in the top 3 choices for the Villians Land dark ride.

I think Len was just suggesting a plussing of the attraction comparing a shift from something along the lines of MMRR (which in the grand scheme of things is a relatively simple attraction) to something more on the line of Rise (which is substantially more ambitious with many more "moving...

Funny how news spreads around the internet. The quote from Len in that article is literally what he (originally) posted on these boards...
