That's not concept art. It's a marketing piece to promote the idea they're trying to convey. Don't expect the completed slide complex to look like that. Expect an Erector Set-style platform with fiberglass tubes coming down from it like the drawing in the last video posted above. I do love...

If you're interested in this aspect of SeaWorld, you can already see how SeaWorld and other partner organizations do their rescue work by watching the tv show Sea Rescue. It's a great program produced by SeaWorld, and it usually airs on Saturday mornings on ABC in most markets. Busch Gardens...

I'd be very happy to see this rumor come true. It sounds like a great opportunity to see more animals and learn about rescue efforts. It seems along the lines of Busch Gardens' new animal care center where visitors can see how veterinary and animal husbandry takes place.

Isn't it interesting that while captive killer whales are often cited as having reduced lifespans, Lolita at Miami Seaquarium, who is widely considered to be living in insufficient quarters, is one of the oldest killer whales in captivity? Hypothetically speaking, in an inaccurate and isolated...

That's not what I meant by my question. I meant, if you already bought non-RFID tickets (in the last few weeks for example), and you go to the park now that they are issuing the new tickets, and you try to add days to your ticket, will you still keep your old ticket, or will they switch it over...

With the transition of ticket media happening, if someone adds days to a prepurchased ticket through guest services, will they be given a new RFID ticket with the added days or will they keep their existing ticket with the added days? Has anyone done this yet?

This is a confusing statement because the current tickets are not paper, they are an extremely durable, thin, plastic-y material. I've heard some call them Tyvek. I don't don't if that's true, but they are certainly not paper, and they certainly won't crack (as rigid plastic can), nor will they...

What does the issuance of RFID cards for new ticket sales mean for those who already have prepurchased tickets? Will we be able to transfer them over to the new cards? Where and how should this be done?

They're much larger than the maps you get in the parks. They are also on paper of much higher quality and the overall presentation is much more artistic and presentable, not like a brochure but more like something you could frame (but unfortunately they come folded). Those who don't see there...

The official myDisney park app says that the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is currently "closed for refurbishment" (not "temporarily unavailable" like it often says for rides that are momentarily broken). I cannot find any listing that says it is scheduled for refurbishment now or in the...

Is Sleepy Hollow Snacks open while it's exterior is being renovated? I see a doorway in the photos, but I can't read the signs.

Why is the talking version of Mickey infamous? I thought it looked cool. Infamous means famous for a bad reason. A well known criminal is infamous.

What is the current pre-show for Captain EO? (I apologize if this was mentioned, but there are too many pages to read through in this thread). Is it still the scenes of everyday families capturing moments by Kodak?

In the same building that now houses Test Track.

Whatever the reasons may be for some Christmas decorations remaining in the parks (cold weather diverting labor and resources seems logical), I think it's silly for anyone to be bothered by this. Where I live there are currently illuminated Christmas trees visible in windows of homes, local...
