No no no NO NO NO NOOOOO!

a lot of Carnivals ships are older too, was my point. Also, there's a certain number of issues that just happen. As I said, Disney has had it's own incidents. You can look them up. Mostly power losses, at least one full engine failure, and an allision in there as well.

They jam now and then. They said an electrical control board failed.. my bet is it put one stabilizer out in a flat angle, and it got stuck there. The thing just came out of drydock a short time ago.. I'm guessing something didn't get maintenanced right.

And we don't know they won't. Had I proposed to you a new IP teaching people about energy using alex trebek, a talk show host, and a physical engineer in a lab coat, with some animatronics thrown in, you'd probably have laughed. And yet, it kinda worked.

Thank the heavens they got rid of all of The Simpsons racial stereotypes. Willie, Chief Wiggum, Leon, and several other characters are gathering to send Apu off, and you won't BELIEVE the predictable hijinks a scotsman, a beat cop who looks like a pig, and a redneck get into!

Carnival has 26 ships. Disney has 4. A number of Carnivals ships are older. Disney's were all built to order, none reflagged from another line. Ships are complicated. Things break. Disney ships have lost engines, lost power, and had deaths and crimes onboard. Issues are not unique to, nor...

Yep. The ride tech was ground breaking. We are well past that now. Communicore was also ahead of it's time.. for about 5 years, then it was laughably in the past.

Go ride Kali River rapids. It has all you seek.

A lot of us don't do spinny rides. And the coasters (which TT basically is) always have longer lines.

Everyone who has lived near a #%(* plant knows about those settlement tanks. (or even near certain farming operations.. I'd take a human sewage plant over a pig sewage settlement pond.. hands down, any day of the week).

Orrrrr.... the new movies suck. Even harder than the prequels sucked. Heck, when Vader became Lukes father, you could tell Lucas had lost control of the train he was driving and conveniently wrote himself out of a corner. That was the first time. Now it's just expected and "fans" rabidly defend...

Dats wat fast pass is for.

I think it's going to do all of the above, and then some. I can't see them just retreading 7dMT or the competitors product, and I think it will be less thrill and more immersion. But we will see. Even their most adventurous coasters are tame by current standards. That said... Watch us get a...

That is awesome! I still have very vivid memories of the population clock, the coaster design computers, and, oddly, the carpets.

We have kids. We end up watching the Duffy story every night at the quarter hours, for several hours.. or did. Now they are old enough, that's not happening again.
