    Does anyone else think Galaxy’s Edge is a misfire?

    I just quoted myself saying the stories suck and they blew the sequels. It's literally the words on the screen..

    Does anyone else think Galaxy’s Edge is a misfire?

    It's pretty simple... instead of looking at something.. YOU ARE IN SOMETHING. What separates Rise from other attractions is the fact the guests are literally in the middle of it all.. Surrounded on all 6 sides by the show. They literally run through the middle of gun fights and live space...

    Does anyone else think Galaxy’s Edge is a misfire?

    You should also accept the reality that using data poorly leads to bad results. SW has a 20+ year head start in those numbers and multiple waves. What matters in a theme park is what your customers are attracted to - not what other people did 40years ago. TLDR - Cumulative stats (even those...

    News Walt Disney World Adds Water Park Perk for Resort Guests

    You said "it is extremely difficult to find qualified lifeguards" and "There is a huge difference between learning to swim and be certified especially for a water park with a wave pool and lazy river." Truth is most LG hires everywhere are not prior lifeguards.. so this criteria you lay out...

    Does anyone else think Galaxy’s Edge is a misfire?

    Aladdin was represented in the stage shows at DL and on the boats... which was a great format for the content because it allowed actual performance like the Genie. Stitch has it's own attraction until recently and has had numerous promo presence too. Both properties you mention are things...

    Does anyone else think Galaxy’s Edge is a misfire?

    Just introduce character interactions at the rate DL does... no need for hoopla trash.. or special merch (there already is ton).. or celebrity stuff. People loved SW being on overload.. we already have that.. it's just not all the character diversity people want. I mean they had Launch Bay...

    News Walt Disney World Adds Water Park Perk for Resort Guests

    If you want to talk about randos who can't pass the test.. you should have seen the IFC intramural swim meet my freshman year of college where they basically just threw all the pledges in the swim meet and forced them to "swim" the events they had no chance of doing.. hahaha that was a pretty...

    News Walt Disney World Adds Water Park Perk for Resort Guests

    No there isn't. A lifeguarding class can be passed in 2-3 days. How do I know? My wife is a LGI and one of her responsibilities at work is to take new hires and get them lifeguard certified. They literally take people with no background and train the CPR and lifeguard certifications as they...

    MK New Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Updates Coming to Walt Disney World

    Why call a female bot ‘buddy’? Presumably there is animation and speech not yet revealed…

    3D-printed prop canoe arriving soon at Jungle Cruise

    I think you're missing that Walt's fixation with authentic wasn't always uniform - his fixation wasn't really on something being authentic as much as it was about his fixation on the END GAME - believing/credible. Using authentic pieces was one of his methods to spin the tale.. he wanted the...

    3D-printed prop canoe arriving soon at Jungle Cruise

    From the beginning.. the park was created by people using movie prop techniques.. aka USING FAKE STUFF TO MAKE YOU THINK IT'S REAL. Yes, Walt had a fixation with authenticity with some elements and going to extremes to build the belief around things.. but for the most part everything is rooted...

    Missed opportunity? Why Disney hasn’t rethemed Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster to Taylor Swift

    Aerosmith isn't even part of the LA scene... should have been Motley Crue and kickstart my heart and play Don't Go Away Mad in the exit :) Never a possibility.. but let's do theme right :)
