very uninspiring. Seems like a rush job. The set is technically interesting and well done but the show doesn't seem coherent. Cruella seems more like a drag queen than a self-absorbed diva. Better than another abandon theater.

Its a shame it doesn't have a story to go with it. It is a great fountain, don't get me wrong, but the "show" doesn't have any impact. There are what, about 14 oarsman type fountain heads and the rest are pretty much static nozzles? The music is just kind of generic sort of space themed I...

No, that would cost money. I'm sure if enough people complain they'll trot out a story about the technology being completely outdated and impossible to repair. Yes, I am still grousing about the winter arches at EPCOT so many years ago.

There will be lots of discussion on how Epic isn't hurting attendance. They'll brag about finally getting rid of Frontierland and all of the 'problematic' imagery associated with the American frontier west. There will be some fuss about creating another DVC hotel that looks surprisingly...

Disney deferring maintenance - shocking.

Unless they figure out a way to reuse the ride system (which is getting a bit long in the tooth) the demo of this attraction is going to be pretty expensive. There are pictures of the original attraction being built (missions to mars I think) and they dug some pretty substantial pits beneath...

It's a shame Disney "Spectaculars" are now just movie and sound clips from their sundry IP hacked together as a demo reel. No real story (contrived one big happy world stuff not withstanding), very unoriginal music, and nothing to inspire. I guess its just an attempt to sell more of their off...

Isn't Disney and Dumpster fire a bit redundant?

Perhaps we can combine the decades old "monorail expansion" threads with the new and improved gondola expansion thread.

I had forgotten about this show. You have to admit that Disney sure got their money's worth out of those fountain barges. I am normally not a nostalgic person at all, time only flows in one direction, but I do miss the days when Epcot's shows were stories in and of themselves told using...

I agree the castle has to go. It is "problematic" to the modern audience. People who don't live in castles might be offended. It's also cultural appropriation since it is largely a knock off of Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany so as someone with a small bit of German ancestry I am outraged...

I've kept quite to see what it ended up looking like before I made comments and while I agree that it is no ugly in and of itself it also has no theming or character to match Poly. If you go out to the Kirkland Commons area of Scottsdale Az (suburb of Phoenix) you can find several buildings of...

It was a good attraction, it was unique and a tiny bit educational. I was/am sad that it no longer exist. If it still existed today they would have no doubt have had to make some significant upgrades to accommodate the typical "body geometry" of today's guest, when I was in my teens and...

She picked up summer work for the Emhoff-Mackin family and got a little too much in the family way.

You're referring to Amazon's "AI" system that watched what you picked up and optionally put down and just charged you for what you kept? The AI that turned out to be several hundred workers in India just watching video screens for 14 hours at a time? Not kidding - I follow AI and it was one of...
