If "Epcot Forever" is meant to merely be a filler for the true replacement, then I understand why it's a rather disappointing show. Still, you'd think Disney would have put a little more imagination into it. All that EF is, is a paint-by-numbers fireworks show with some callback voiceover...
As much as I love Disney, I sincerely hope this ridiculously stupid parking fee change bites them hard. It's basically forcing people like me to have to fly down and make use of their Magical Express service and nothing else simply to save money. Perhaps I shouldn't say that too loud, though, as...
Yes, I saw the original version prior to the Ellen garbage. The original version, sure it was boring, but actually stayed true to the ideal of Epcot. The garbage refurbishment that brought in Ellen couldn't have been further from that idea of teaching and education.
I've never done the Enchanted Tiki Room, and since none of these existed the last time I was there: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Little Mermaid, Test Track 2.0, Soarin' Around the World (I HAVE been on the original Soarin many times).
We all know that there are certain types of rides that are basically copied - though different in theme - from one park to the next (or even tripled up in the same park). I'm primarily referring to what I call the "kiddie spinner" ride such as Dumbo, Flying Carpets, and Astro Orbiter......which...
I agree. It is a shame, though, that the only real way to get to Animal Kingdom is by bus (or drive yourself). Linking it to the Disney Skyline would be more expensive, but ultimately worth it.
Given the funny layout, I wonder how any possible future expansion could happen. I would have figured it to operate in some kind of circular pattern or wheel-n-spoke.
In theory, this is going to be really good for Disney and it is a good idea, but we can pretty much expect this to be THE place now in WDW and its cost-per-night will be astronomical.
So basically the WDW Railroad track will stay put and it will simply go under/through the building for Tron. Ok. At the very least, though, if they're not getting rid of the Speedway (which they should do) but merely modifying the track layout, they should also adjust the theme to be more...
Definitely in favor of this, as I love anything that will allow me more of a bird's eye view in WDW, but I will say the planned layout looks a bit confusing. Makes me wonder if they'll have a resort only side and a park only side.
After having watched a POV video of the one in Shanghai, I'm very excited although it seems like odd placement for it. I think they needed to replace the Speedway altogether with this ride, and now they definitely at least need to retheme the Speedway which doesn't fit the area at all.
