I can tell you, with the retheme of Splash in particular, there was A LOT of discussion about how things will be perceived and age well. Just like with Splash being adapted from Song of the South, the Imagineers were aware of the racial criticism the film received in response to certain...

Many of us theme park fans are also entertainment industry people. Entertainment industry tends to work with Disney or have direct contact with friends who do/have. Knowing some of the creatives behind some theme park events/shows; that's how I first heard about Disney trying to walk away from...

Zombies in "voodoo" lore isn't at all like the zombies which are portrayed by Disney or media. But Disney is softening a little and trying stuff out with Facilier. A friend designed a new magic experience centered around him for the Disney Cruise Line, so Disney is starting to toy with it in...

I'm usually damp for slightly 10 minutes following. Never been wet for multiple hours due to splash..

The problem isn't that Disney isn't copying Disneyland, the problem is that particular aspect of Disneyland is very successful for a reason. A small courtyard with a bank of 4 quality C-Ticket darkrides that average about 10-20 minute line waits and a scattering of flat rides and some vibe...

Those shows have always been "naughty." They've been advertising it as "Ghouls Gone Wild" in the past. Ed Alonzo and Dr Cleaver shows were always PG-13 in there.

What's going on with Space's queue? When I was there Sunday around 9:45 it was really torn up. Huge sections of chipped paint/wall, dirty floors. visible black grime on the walls above where the rockets re-enter the station. I haven't seen a queue that bad in a looong time.

The first attraction I remember being heavily covered due to smart phones was Finding Nemo Subs. Obviously, that wasn't ground-up though.

I was watching Book of Mormon with my dad at the Pantages and we had an hour to kill. It was free and it was an experience I enjoyed ironically, especially as my dad was a huge pulp/early Hollywood fan and kept asking the ill-informed docent about errors in the stuff about Hubbard's early life...

If reminds me a lot of the L. Ron Hubbard shrine/museum experience near the Pantages. Where, after being told how amazing and strong-willed he was through clips and history, the programmed curtains part and an idol of the man is presented for us to marvel at and swallow that Kool-Aid. Its...

Mesmer is fantastic! A great follow-up to Black Magic, which I also loved. Grimoure....I appreciate on paper but that maze was a mess in execution.

Which part? The flat make-up "design" or the very generic molded plastic headpiece or the thin unlined costume?

They also wouldn't necessarily need to enclose the coaster in a show building if it was themed to a property which didn't need to take place in some void of space. An Avengers coaster could be something similar to Hagrid's with a majority of the ride taking place outdoors.

Yeah, I'd personally rather visit USH over MK, but I do find MK is still a stronger park even if it is my least favorite Florida park amongst Disney and Universal. It's pretty and has some great attractions, but like others have said, the attractions is does have are too similar to Disneyland...

I think it certainly fits better at MK than at Disneyland. It really needs to get replaced in DL in the next decade.
