Obviously the actual size of the structure will be a bit bigger than just this steel frame, but honestly the sightlines in the first and second photos, along with the shape of the roof, look good to me. The mountain is hidden behind the low part of the roof, and the raised front sort of tapers...

I haven't really been as active on here or actively following Disney Parks news for the last few months, I only caught up on D23 announcements a few days after rather than following day of, but this just solidifies why I keep up less and less, and focus more on my other hobbies. I'm not gonna...

I'm so glad to have experienced the 50th anniversary, I think seeing the parks in that state while so young made everything feel so magical. I remember getting the Dreampass Fastpass thing that was a lanyard with like 7 or 8 fastpasses for rides from each park. The VMK quest kiosk too while I...

Thank you for this update. Last week during work I was on here, thought of Darkbeer1, and tried to search his profile or anything online for updates, fearing something with his health battles. I didn't know him much personally on here, only a few interactions, but he always seemed so kind and...

This was gonna be my response. Sure, all of those companies have disgusting pasts / current politics in the name of growing company value, but the CEOs didn't go out of their way to spread hate and bigotry at any opportunity, even unprovoked. Elon sits on Twitter attacking Disney, the "woke"...

We don't need Twitter, we don't need most social media, but there is value to it along with the myriad of issues it causes. I'm just saying, from a purely financial / business standpoint, Twitter went from a $44 billion evaluation to now $12.5 billion under Elon's leadership. Not a great...

He just doesn't have the money for that, at least not anymore. Tesla's valuation has been crumbling as he's neglected the company after pushing so hard for Cybertruck, which he personally admitted was a horrible decision and almost destroyed the company. And now every unit produced / delivered...

Considering Elon has personally attacked Disney many times (and still does) for being too woke and calling them groomers, I highly doubt they'd want to have any of his companies sponsor an attraction. 🤷‍♂️

Advocating for more public transit is not the same as advocating to take your car away. I would love to not have to rely on owning a car to exist within society, but I would definitely still own a car for the reasons you said. But not everyone wants, or more importantly, not everyone can afford...

As others have correctly pointed out, this traffic and horrific city planning is directly a result of car manufacturers lobbying politicians to plan cities around people having to buy their cars. Give people the options to choose, make it consumer friendly. Imagine if we didn't all NEED to drive...

Reading this thread has validated my intense hatred for car centric city planning. All of this discussion of how much land we could use for the parks themselves if there weren't the need / legal requirement of providing so many parking spaces for the resort. Massive concrete wastelands full of...

Back during the lockdowns, when my Rift S was still new to me, I found something similar for ATIS and "rode through" with my headset and, quite honestly, for Omnimover rides it works really well. My one small gripe was the fact that the Omnimover would change directions / rotate / etc. but not...

I went from a desktop PC to a MacBook Pro last year and I want a Steam Deck OLED so bad now because of it. Hopefully you were able to grab a unit (and a Magic Key today eventually)!

reading these updates reminds me of buying concert / festival tickets oh lord, good luck everyone!

I hadn't realized he had a book, thank you so much! Definitely planning on grabbing a copy and reading it after the holidays.
