Truthfully, I plan on avoiding the stateside parks in a significant way until at least 2023/2024. Might do a weekend getaway or a run, but even that doesn't sound super appealing at the moment. Too much construction. Too many hot new things opening up. Crowds are going to be insane and I...
Sadly, I can see Chappie rationalizing closing something like FOTLK for 4 years and replacing it with an omnimover. "We will see a net operational capacity gain of 1000 guests per hour."
I hate to say something so basic, but both Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom need an omnimover. A solid C-Ticket with huge capacity that can eat crowds by drawing them in with a solid theme, placed far away from the busiest rides in each respective park.
I think DVC will become an important part of Disney's strategy in the build up to Marvel Land/Frozen Land/Gate Three. It would be foolish of them not to leverage all the shiny new stuff that is inevitably coming to Anaheim with a DVC Resort/Tower.
A fifth gate in Orlando is inevitable. It's more a matter of what and when than anything (same can be said about a third Anaheim). The question is, can they build a fifth gate that eats enough capacity to thin out the other parks as a means to improve the guest experience, but not so much that...
RSR didn't do much for me beyond the gorgeous rock work and final side by side portion of the ride. For me, the rest was just Test Track with characters that I'm not all that attached to.
I love Tron Track. It's a ride that should make you feel like you're in the future. The old setup was cool at first, but it was not ageing gracefully in my opinion.
Quit saying "bad guys" like it's some sort of catch all phrase that encompasses all legitimate security threats to the United States. It's lazy and disingenuous. The point I was trying to make is that the response to incidents like this tend to be proportionate to the force used in the incident...
You can get into the park for the party at 4PM, and you will be given a wrist band. At 7PM, they will start checking guests for wrist bands and everyone who doesn't have one is asked to leave the park.
I was very skeptical of the Nintendo expansion when it was announced, it seemed like a project that would be used to take Screenz(!) to a whole new level, and not much more. But this actually looks very promising.
