Prince Charming's Regal Carousel. It's a good carousel, but I don't think the land truly needs it.

You know those water cannons at the end oflog flumes/Kali river rapids? Make them park wide and charge people a fee to use them. Add a random mode so that you can allow people to trigger a random water cannon.

Hollywood Studio's version was Sounds Dangerous, and that's not operating either.

The best part of Wishes was that you weren’t forced to be centered on Main St in order to see the show. That being said, HEA is objectively a cooler show.

I agree. I loved Hide and Go Seek in Tokyo. If they gamified it that would actually be an enhancement.

You might want to learn about something called a subathon. Basically, viewers on Twitch will keep donating to a streamer to make them stay live. True people pop in and out of the stream, but there's a rather fanatical fanbase devoted to watching extended portions of them. Most of the viewers are...

I’m not sure about that. I’ve been a huge fan of Disney’s newer rides- BATB (Tokyo), MMRR, Remmy, Slinky. I’ve also been a fan of newer shows- Luminous and others. People just generally just aren’t a fan of cheaply or badly made content. Harmonius had the barges that ruined sight lines...

I love to travel around, and I prefer to travel to cities with good public transit. Trains are preferred, but frequent high speed buses are also fine. Part of the reason I love Disney is that I don’t need a car to get around. It’s the place that taught me such a thing is possible. However I...

TOT Splash MMRR or Ratatouille HM Probably in that exact order, and assuming only WDW rides are included. I only started going to the parks in 2004, so never rode Imagination when it was new. Engineering wise for attractions I’d give the award to Kilimanjaro or Space Mountain. Kilamanjaro...

If anything Disney is the more reasonable one. A $30-70 uber each way to get to and from the airport at Vegas, waiting an hour and a half for an uber on the strip, $6 bottles of soda, $20 to ride a roller coaster, etc. I think that city is more effective at fleecing you out of your cash than NYC...

Harry Potter is an entire generation’s version of Star Wars, complete with a revisionist creator and a potentially toxically expanding “Expanding Universe”. As long as Universal is keeps to the core 7 stories they’ll be able to milk the franchise for another 50 years.

Storytelling was way more heavy handed than Illuminations. But it keeps the spirit and brings back actual fireworks. I like it.

We've been in the world of "Big Data" for 13+ years now. I haven't seen how it's made any meaningful difference in company direction, consumer preferences, etc. You don't need a million data points to find out someone is a star wars fan and a star wars fan doesn't always appreciate a movie made...

I’m sure they could have but it may not have been family friendly

The best thing about the Last Jedi was that it did something different. It’s simply the best of the NT. Whether you agree with it or not, they created a situation where the rebel alliance couldn’t run away and was so hopelessly outgunned it didn’t make sense to fight. With a decent amount of...
