I'm not saying this is going to happen, or should happen, but consider: The ride building is located in the San Francisco area of the park. The bus vehicle moves onto a motion base that can rock and shake the vehicle... kind of like an earthquake. It would fit like a glove.

Because the ignorance of the fandom actively makes the experience worse for other people. If you're a fan of what Disney once did creatively in its parks, it's clear that a lot of that has been destroyed under Iger/Chapek has been replaced with a lesser product. The level of detail and...

I actually forgot about this thread. It's a bit messy and doesn't have a true clear thesis, but it's really just a series of grievances tied together under the topic of superficiality in the Disney fandom. It also gave me a reason to develop in more detail what exactly makes someone a theme park...

That's insane. Their prices were already something to balk at, but this is sheer audacity that I haven't seen before. I wonder if the price increases come from Universal or from Lowes.

How does Universal benefit from this situation? They currently keep Disney from utilizing Marvel, are making tons of money from the merch, have two, immensely popular rides that are staples of Islands and the DC brand is definitely the weaker of the two. I won't believe it until I see it...

Why is it not relevant to people who visit regularly? Repeat people who like Universal and travel from afar still spend quite a lot of money, right? Universal has also fostered a much stronger culture among passholders and locals. I guess Disney perceives them as lower spenders, but myself and...

I always feel that way about a lot of Universal attractions, but I end up warming up to them over time. Once past that initial overwhelming first handful of ride-throughs, and I begin to process what's occurring among the chaos, I start to look forward to certain lines of dialogue or the punchy...

The post-modern aesthetic of the Eisner era was weird and didn't really fit the "future" part of Future World, but at least it had character to it. The new core is just a bad emulation of contemporary minimalism, which I think works for certain businesses designed with it in mind (like the...

Penguin Trek at SeaWorld has B&M's take on this new(ish) style of restraint. I expect to see more of that coming from them soon.

I thought that the Walt animatronic is Disneyland could potentially be really weird, but it actually seems fine. I thought that CoP was on the chopping block, so I'm glad that it's staying around. If anything, the Walt animatronic fits better here, with Walt introducing the attraction.

It never occurred to me that queue space was the intended purpose, but that's interesting to learn.

HoP has an extended queue? Is that where the market is currently?

Easy; the new Disney way is just to put another bar in there. Corporate could justify a refurb of the pavilion for only the price of badly mixed cocktails.

I had a lot of fun reading through all of the posts and judging the bonus round. Here's how I felt about the ideas and the top three for each category! Bonus 1: I'm not usually a fan of interactive shooting attractions, especially screen based ones because I think the industry is...

Just watched a POV. I wasn't anticipating much for this new version, but I'm actually pleasantly surprised. It's not perfect and I'll have to wait to ride it in person for a true assessment, but this seems like a 2025 interpretation of the classic Epcot spirit. That's a huge improvement to me...
