    EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    I mean, ultimately, that's what ever scene on a trackless dark ride is. You want every scene to be long enough that the vehicles in front of you have enough time to clear the scene in front of you and for the scene to rest (if needed). The preference is to have lots of shorter scenes to allow...

    DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    For reference, when they updated Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln two years ago at Disneyland, that update was (reportedly) $5 million with the assumption that a large portion of that cost went to the instalation of the turntable and the single Walt animatronic. This is a substantially larger...

    Litany of 2026 parks / resorts deals - is this unprecedented?

    It almost feels like they are following the "Bed, Beth, & Beyond" mentality where they intentionally price things higher than the market dictates, but than constantly send out "20% off coupons" to make it feel like you are getting a discount and to constantly stay in the discussion due to their...

    DHS Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular Boulder Incident

    Discussion is good... a rolling stone gathers no moss (though it may level a cast member)

    DHS Disney Confirms Muppets Take Over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios

    FWIY, they did a Christmas overlay this year and in the update, they refreshed a lot of the broken effects and replaced several of the projection mapped effects with practical effects. The general "dumbing down" is still there, but I guess that's to be expected when the point of the whole...

    Well, actually... the abbreviation for et cetera is e tc. (not e ct.)

    News Walt Disney Imagineering Files New Haunted Mansion Permit for Set Installation

    You got excited for one hat box ghost, so just imagine how happy you will be for TWO hatbox ghosts! No, not at seperate locations, just literally one next to the other doing the exact same thing! /s

    MK Piston Peak and Villains Land Construction Thread

    Oh believe me, I threw up in my mouth a little just writing it! They eventually are going to build a hotel with a direct entrance into Magic Kingdom... but here? Not sure...

    MK Piston Peak and Villains Land Construction Thread

    Replace Leota with Dr. Facilier, portrait gallery starts with all Disney heroes then shows the respective villains setting traps beneath each in the reveal, Ghost Host narration replaced by either Maleficent or Lady Tremain (impersonated) voice, Banquet Hall and Graveyard just a smörgåsbord of...

    News Bluey To Join Disney Experiences at its U.S. Theme Parks and Cruise Line Beginning in 2025

    I think this statement needs at least a bit of an asterisk. Zootopia 2 is doing very well, but (like the first Zootopia), a HUGE portion of the success is due to international audiences (not domestic audiences). For comparison, here is the 6 Day Domestic Gross for several recent Disney and...

    DAK “Zootopia” is being created for the Tree of Life theater

    The Joe Rohdent image in the queue is quite a choice... memorializing the Imagineer who famously said Zootopia doesnt belong in AK by creating a Zootopia inspired character in his likeness and placing it right beneath one of his greatest designs...
