The Castle Parks are so all-encompassing of the Disney Parks Experience that really there are very few attractions that Disney has built anywhere that would feel really out of place at a Castle Park. It's probably only some of the behind-the-scenes MGM Studios stuff and yeah some of the World...

The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man is my favorite ride of all time, has been since 1999, if you tell me that one of the key designers of that ride is working on a new ride, with what is basically an enhanced version of that ride system, but with even more Super Heroes, that instantly becomes...

Most Indiana Jones stories are about objects of great ancient power and Indy's belief that there is a right thing to do with them (Place them in a museum, return them to where they came from, leave them where they are, hide them) and how his idea is in conflict with the antagonist who wants to...

And if we're being honest, the Peter Pan's Neverland Adventure/Avengers Infinity Defense ride system is already in place at two popular attractions in Florida

With Star Wars now moving back to seemingly being a primarily Film Based Franchise after 6 years or so of being primarily TV Based* I could see some more focus being placed on Galaxy's Edge in the coming years and adding an attraction that is more focused on putting us in the Star Wars Galaxy...

I think my main hope* is that whatever they do here follows the Multiple IPs that are thematically linked trend of Tropical Americas and Villain's Land rather than be another single IP land like Monster's Inc Land, Toy Story Land, Galaxy's Edge. I don't think there are many IP left that make...

I've been to EPCOT countless times, ridden Test Track so so many times, these experiences feel so fresh, I feel like I could navigate the place blindfolded... and yet when I really think about it the last time I went was probably 2006. I was in high school then, I'm in my 30's now, it doesn't...

While we old heads won't ever think of The Simpsons as Disney, it's clear that Disney wants us to. The Simpsons has basically always been on the Carousel every-time I've opened Disney+ since it's launch 5 years ago, and they have just released their 9th Disney+ exclusive Simpsons Short most of...

I am fine with or even support most of the sensitivity changes Disney has made, but the Roger Rabbit change feels different. It oddly feels out of line with the push for Recognizable IP above all else that ww associate with modern Disney Parks because I would argue that the image of Jessica...

I meant my post to be a lightly humorous point about how there can sometimes be a disconnect between what feels like a hit or failure and their actual box office performance. And now if feels like I accidentally provided fuel for some posters that lean a little uh... Song of The South-y.

The current 7th Highest Grossing Film of All Time, Spider-Man: No Way Home, came out three weeks after Encanto, so while 2021 was certainly an odd year for film going, when people really wanted to go... they went.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - $786,635,413 - 2nd Highest Grossing Film of 2008 Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - $474,171,806 - 1st Highest Grossing Film of 1989 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - $383,963,057 - 16th Highest Grossing Film of 2023 (Indiana Jones...

So I first visited Animal Kingdom a few months after it opened and my favorite ride was Countdown to Extinction, on the next visit it was called Dinosaur but it was still my favorite ride. Living only a 2 and half hour drive away I made frequent visits to the parks in the 90's through the...

Not to disparage any of the Insiders on this forum but we don't actually know that there is any holdup at all. It's possible that key people at Disney knows exactly where this is going and have for some time, but until it's time to start demolition and construction there is no real reason to...
