    News Guest dies, found unresponsive after riding Stardust Racers

    Seriously. If local authorities would release information, it would end tiktok (what I perceive to be) semi-truths like this.

    Or something about the track configuration produced unexpected stress on the restraint system.

    News Guest dies, found unresponsive after riding Stardust Racers

    It's a coaster with multiple Gs. This would've been central for testing. The surprising part, for me, is that the person was in their 30. I've seen people who look close to 70 (not a lot but some) get on this ride.

    News Guest dies, found unresponsive after riding Stardust Racers

    Cause of death: “multiple blunt impact injuries" This ride is not re-opening any time soon. And possibly not re-opening at all. Thoughts go out to the family. Multiple blunt impact injuries (not a single incidence, like a dropped phone, or a bird, or a fallen branch, etc.) suggest that...

    News Destination D23 2025

    That was nowhere near as painful as watching the people who own Lug bags. They sounded like they owned an Etsy store. And seriously, who wear these belted bags?

    News Destination D23 2025

    So there are four "around the globe" segments or presentations. China, France, Japan, and India. One of those places is not like the other. There are resorts in China, France, and Japan--but not India. So is this the announcement of something (resort or otherwise) finally being built in...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    It's a range. Average can be 37 inches for a four year old. Or maybe 43 inches for a taller boy. The park is simply not arranged for family groups like this, even though Universal indicated that it would be before it opened.

    MK All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

    Back when there was a nighttime parade, the exodus happened after fireworks and then typically the second parade was sparsely attended. I'm sure both performances will be packed for the first month or so. But I am of the opinion that after that it will return to: people staking out spots for...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Some of the attractions in Berk have height restrictions that would exclude kids aged 4 and 7 (unless they are a tall seven year old), such as Racer's Rally. SNW is better, unless the four year old is on the shorter side--then no Mario and no Mine Cart. Here are the attractions that you can...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    There are many strong elements to Epic, but this is not a family park. If you think it is, put together a day of activities that a family with kids aged 4, 7, and 10 can do together for an eight hour visit that would justify the $750 admission fee.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Yoshi is, by far, the weakest ride in the whole park. There are some amazing areas and attractions at Epic. But Yoshi's is Six Flags level. Also, I wouldn't say that this is a classic indoor dark ride. It reminds me more of the kiddie train at Knott's that takes you past outdoor dioramas of...

    Elio (Pixar - June 2025)

    Sure, if you remove Deadline from that list. There's endless daylight between THR, Variety and then Deadline.

    Elio (Pixar - June 2025)

    Nothing about these numbers looks good. US pre-sales were around $1M. General industry opening expectations are $20M domestically--which is not good. And sure there are movies every now and then that come back from a weak opening, but this is not at all the norm. When elemental came out two...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    It's been interesting to watch--and go to--Epic this year. Two months ago, the park was poised to be one of the premiere parks in the US. But it seems like the excitement has come and gone. Not everything working. Team member issues. Very hot. Some long lines and low capacity rides. The...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Like with Hall of Presidents and the Speedway and the Railroad and the Treehouse and Tron and etc. It's sorta like some of the PR people have never been to the MK.
