FEA is technically not a book report ride, it takes place after the Frozen film. It’s very hard to retrofit an existing attraction into a book report ride. If a ride’s story is predetermined, you can build a ride around that story. And if the track layout is predetermined, you can create a...

It’s possible they make fewer Premier Passes available (while jacking up the price) on busy days to ensure there is enough LL capacity for the increased number of LLMP holders.

Not according to guest ratings. I think SGE was the only attraction at WDW where guest satisfaction increased when it was closed

Exactly. Jurassic World Adventure in Universal Beijing uses those same SCOOP vehicles, but with primarily physical effects (no 3D)

I hope they at least relocate the Rafiki and Timon M&G

And then Journey of Water becomes Kali?

My kids love Bluey, but this won’t open until after our trip in late April/early May. And now we also won’t have the train and petting zoo during our trip :(

I’ve been told on 2 different occasions, by 2 different people, that they really enjoyed the “Jurassic Park ride” at Animal Kingdom. I don’t understand why Disney would ever want to replace it!

My money is on the Open Path being the one and only entrance to Villains. The Big Thunder Trail will be used for backstage access. The long thing building will contain a series of shops facing into Villains Land. And the smaller building will hold the HM extended queue.

The app still shows Chip and Dale meeting in the Dinoland that no longer exists… (Donald and Daisy are now meeting in the Oasis)

Indy doesn’t just have a building, it also has a track. Removing the themed elements from Dinosaur and enclosing the Encanto building wouldn’t really put them on equal footing. But even if they were at the same stage of construction, it doesn’t mean the remaining work would equal (e.g. if one...

One possibility could be if they ever want to expand Fantasyland in the future, this path would allow them to do so.

They should demolish the speedway and let Fantasyland annex that space. They could easily fit 3 small-scale dark rides (à la AIW/PDJ) in that footprint. AIW would make a lot of sense right next to the Teacups.

My main objection to the initial retheme announcement was that Splash was about as good as it gets, so the best case scenario would that Disney sinks all this time and money into a ride that is just as good as its predecessor, instead of investing in a real upgrade elsewhere. As more and more...

Looks like the info I got about the music was not quite as off-base as it was starting to seem. “Dig a Little Deeper” does in fact play throughout the entire Laughing Place section, not just the lift hill. And an instrumental “Almost There” plays leading into the “Special Spice” finale. I...
