how tall is the retaining wall closer to BTM? it looks fairly large.

watching that video there seems to be a decent amount of open spaces just in different spots, if they're taking things down to the walls there's a good canvas to start with

I'd rather have a greenhouse/gardens or interior rooms before the stretching rooms, because i think you'd lose the momentum of the moment if you queued for more time after. Same problem i have with guardians. you build up this hype and energy then it just fizzles as you wait another 20 minutes...

i'm still curious why the track is black and not brown

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...

Does anyone have first-hand experience with the Paris test?

i haven't noticed any signs of activity in the final lift from the aerial photos. has there been any evidence that they are actively making updates there whether dynamite or a new and different show scene?

i wonder if they'll keep the same vehicle pacing throughout the route, like they did with test track 3.0, and make show scenes fit the pacing vs the reverse.

i assume the answer is probably no because it'd be too much trouble, but wonder if they'd bother saving/relocating some mature trees for the new lands

gosh those old promos were fun

they reference rumbling and personifying the mountain a couple times. could we get a revamped collapsing cave finale vs explosion?

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?
