Agreed that it feels weird to steer a Cars universe car. Maybe it could be in ride vehicle "voting" to determine multiple paths? The override kicking in where there is traffic on a specific ride path, etc. Without the interactive element, just feels like a trackless ride with randomized ride...

If anyone could find where Josh said the "classic" line - I would like to know. When this circulated on socials I looked everywhere for the original source online because people repeated it as truth, but there is nothing I saw except an unreliable news site that posted it.

Everything sounds solid to me except the rumored ENG family coaster. The IP choice just doesn’t add up. In a land where almost any IP could work, choosing one that feels outdated and not substantial enough for the space feels like a miss. I’m not against a family coaster at all. But even if...

I’ll reserve judgment until we see how the new structure actually operates. The nature of the press releases feels like they're trying to stress the importance of Dana Walden's role in the new structure here. I remain bullish on the parks and optimistic about a partnership-style dynamic between...

This really gets at the biggest risk of single-IP lands: overextension. When a land spans acres and serves huge crowds, how much of it can actually feel bespoke to the IP? Fine-tuning may be the key to making SWGE work long-term.

This seems like an obvious move and positive development to improve what should be their most popular land. For context, I love Star Wars. I did do the Galactic Starcruiser - and I've been to both SWGE lands many times, and genuinely think they're some of the most impressive lands ever built...

Saw the opening date and preview information - and it made me wonder if there was any chance they'd open it for Moonlight Magic in EPCOT on July 17?

Today's announcement is a pleasant surprise. Understandably, some are questioning if this is just media spin and if the final product will deliver. We won't know for sure until it opens. But keep in mind that the original announcement of this replacement was made a long while ago. While...

The Simpsons fits the seemingly important mandate of Disney+ popularity and merchandising opportunities. The IP has been around for 30+ years and it’s already been translated to a theme park setting before. That - along with the fact that Universal seems likely to close their land in the near...

I still think it will have the same effect as an expansion. The current space is not a draw to people. This re-themed area will draw guests from other areas of the park much more heavily than Dinoland did.

There is no doubt that there was widespread and rampant abuse of the many iterations of the GAC/DAS system over the years. Most would agree that a change was necessary to limit abuse. However, there were likely more narrowly tailored options to weed out "abusers" if that was the true intent...

With the “concept art” released by Disney yesterday — as vague and non committal as it is — I could possibly be getting my wish for an Avatar Shanghai Disney Pirates tech ride! (Just on the West Coast). If there is still a mystery additional attraction in the works for AK, aside from the...

If they are intending on an E-ticket elsewhere in addition to the Dinoland overhaul - my pipe dream would be an additional Avatar E-ticket utilizing the Shanghai Disney Pirates tech based on the water aspects/animals of the second Avatar movie. Alas, we shall see what actually comes! Hopefully...

This never ends. 1) Ending Magic Express Service; 2) Adding Resort/Parking Fees; 3) Ending complimentary magic bands; 4) Insane Star Wars star cruiser pricing; 5) Ending free fastpass. What a way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of WDW. This type of short term thinking has hurt Disney in the...

This, unfortunately, should not shock anyone. An iconic attraction being re-themed to install a more modern IP. Stop me if you’ve heard this before. I understand that some will be very happy about this. I respect and understand their opinion, but respectfully disagree. Hey Disney, if you are...
