Not Disney, but I know this attraction confused the heck out of people: Twister: RIDE It Out.

Been going to WDW since the late 70s. Of the attractions that are 15+ years old, I crossed off the last of the MK ones in 2014: Tom Sawyer Island. At Epcot, only Circle of Life remains undone for me. DAK has the most older attractions I have yet to do: Kali River Rapids, Conservation Station...

I ruined at least a couple of family days in the parks as a kid, from getting dehydrated and suffering massive headaches due to the heat. I vividly recall deliriously napping on a bench for an hour while my parents and sister waited patiently for me to recover. Since then, I've advocated had...

Since the Studio and Production aspect of the park is virtually gone, I don't see the AA coming back, which is a shame. We made a point of doing it every time (sometimes 3 times in a day) we visited DHS. California Adventure still has theirs, and in a large lecture hall type room. We did it 4...

Have nothing to add except that I'm seriously considering living and working at Disney World, or just in Orlando, for at least a year when I retire, 25-30 years from now. Also, speaking of moving to Orlando, i often think about this scene from PARKS AND RECREATION, when April and Andy move into...

This is sad, but hardly a surprise. The rumor of its closure started years ago. I will miss TGMR. It was one of a kind. But over the years it was no longer a priority for my family to watch, since the scenes were never updated or changed. Broken things stayed broken (the Footlight Parade...

I haven't read much about how (or even whether) failures in one arm of the company leads to cutbacks in the others. For example, if Disney Channel were to lose ratings and advertising dollars, would that stop a new ride from being built at Magic Kingdom? A failure at a particular resort...

If you clicked on this thread, you might be a Disney freak. If you clicked on the image to blow it up, you might be a Disney freak If you Googled to find an image of the old trashcans, you're almost definitely a Disney freak. If you already had a mental picture of what the old trashcans...

5. Carousel of Progress - One of my favorite WDW rides, but I hate to see it age. This either needs an evergreen update or placement in a Disney history museum. 4. Mission: Space: One and done for me. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. All that tech wasted (note that no other similar rides --...

After a 12 year stretch (1990 - 2002) between WDW trips, JIYI was the first attraction I did on my return -- on my honeymoon. I did not know the ride had changed. It probably goes without saying that it was not a great start to our magical week. And it certainly did not impress my new bride...

Probably already been said, but can a land that was bashed (fairly or not) the moment it was first announced, really be considered a letdown when it finally opens?

On the parking tram at the end of a long day, ca. 1990: The tram announcer made a pun at every stop. For example, when guests were let off at the Donald Duck section, he instructed them to step away from the tram as quickly as they could, and "waddle with a purpose." The puns were inoffensive...

Wow. Can't tell if the mom was being sarcastic or if she truly felt her child was not "getting" Disney. Annoying either way.

These aren't allowed in schools, so not surprised it got flagged at Disney.

I suppose a new member to this forum would see this epic thread and wonder just how big the fights get at the Flower and Garden Festival.
