The main issue is that Disney's output this year mostly sucked. They have boardrooms that hold back creators from going all in on their ideas, and now they're being smashed by other studios who are actually trying. TMNT was better than any Disney animated film in years and that is another...

I like what they're doing with the ride so far after seeing more finished work. It seems like a nice way to bring in more voices that have been mostly absent from the planning and design of Disney Parks. The backstory is still convoluted and weird, but that backstory likely has little to do with...

I'm going to Disneyland with my wife for our first trip this July. She was sad that Splash will be closed since it is her favourite ride. She is Japanese and only has experience with TDL, but she thinks Splash is the cutest ride and really loves it. I told her it was going to become a Tiana...

No, you missed the part that leaves room for "this isn't for me and that's fine," which is a completely reasonable and understandable response for anything.

I should really stop, because this is driving me insane, but "mansplaining" doesn't refer simply to aggressive arguing (which every gender can easily do, by the way). It primarily is about completely ignoring the perspectives of non-male voices while making an argument, or shutting the door to...

Outside of comparing sentient beings to a car... If you don't want to drive a car because you don't like the colour, you are making a personal choice based on likes and interests. If you don't like a film because of its diverse elements, you are also making a personal choice based on likes and...

I find the idea that Lightyear is some sort of transgressive diverse film completely insane. It is a movie about a white masculine male learning to take responsibility for himself by trusting others and sharing the burden. He is incredibly heroic and celebrated throughout. If people's ideas of...

After watching a ride through, I'm not sure how it is possible to defend this ride. The only really interesting thing is the motion tech, but that isn't new or innovative since Xbox Kinnect did it in your living room ten years ago. The ride DLC is the absolute worst kind of slippery slope...

Some of the takes in this thread are wild. Are we really okay with the idea that you pay hundreds of dollars per day knowing that you can't ride everything? Reservations for food six months out was bad enough, but that's an upcharge privilege you can ignore. The entire point of paying the entry...

When I watched the nighttime show at SDL I walked to the side of the castle to get a better view without people around. None of the cast stopped me or told me to go back and I ended up being almost directly below some of the pyro jets. I could not only see the pyro up close, but I could feel the...

Bruh, this is just kind of sad.

People are still making excuses for multi-billion dollar corporations in 2020?

This is a serious problem with Shanghai that affects every ride including Pirates. The screen and projection effects in Pirates look better on video because the cavernous rooms make the huge screens look as fake as they are. Sometimes they reflect onto the water too, which looks horrible. The...

This makes sense. I did only ride it once back in May of 2019. It felt like 30 seconds once you get into the show building. I was pretty hyped for recognizers and races and it was really only two effects on some corners and then a loop around to the end. Are launch coasters worth it is a good...

I've been to Shanghai. Treasure Cove is not that great. It has the cool rocks and pirate ship but the pathways are so massive it doesn't feel like it has a real identity and the weather in Shanghai ruins any immersion it might have if you're hugging close to the buildings. It has a great ride...
