I've posted elsewhere to this effect, but we've lost a sense of scale. Rides are now HUGE but less intimate human-scaled. I'd love some compact/concise attractions.

There are big tax advantages to leaving a few walls ups, renovation vs demolition Executive Summary Leaving two walls up can: Avoid §280B demolition penalties Preserve depreciable basis Keep demolition costs depreciable Enable cost segregation & bonus depreciation Reduce property tax...

they need to keep working on the materials science for the skin/screen. It's too reflective. The demonstrated head is cool but it's shiny, but when they shifted it the metallic silver skin it looked great. the real leap forward would be something that absorbs diffuses the light like skin does...

as an aside, i'm still surprised we haven't seen a live action star wars show film in the park yet or at least have batuu as a setting

raises the question, what are the odd they don't have the rolling ball finale?

With the addition of more water features, and the mention of "explore" and "trails" in the DPB post, I really hope they add in some walkable cave systems that pay homage to the ones on TSI. BONUS POINTS if they integrate them to be able to look into the attraction like a splash mountain view...

the pacing feels. . . rushed. which i can see now with that schedule. it's an enjoyable enough show, not great not terrible a poster a while back mentioned "unfairly" might not be the right word, i agree. maleficent was the only one that i felt played into that conceit when she twisted the...

wonder if the track is sitting higher or the envelope parameters got wider

wonder why adventure land doesn't need a directional aspect to it? Why isn't it "passage to adventureland"?
