I actually am an Uber fan of the Aladdin walkthrough... 😔

Adventure and exploration, those two essential elements of the MK, require open doors. Not closed ones everywhere you go: AL Veranda -> Club 33k FL shooting gallery -> Timeshare Airport lounge Castle & Entrance FL -> BBB TL entrance -> dessert party

It's spelled 'water'.

I love it! I think this is superb. Weird, abstract, and as befits a Disney park: corny in any other setting but Disney. EPCOT, FW, needs a certain abstraction, for you to project your own imagination onto. In old EPCOT I'd have put this somewhere between Land and Imagination. Downsides: I'm...

The fountains got ambitious and wanted to be used as baptismal fonts so they converted to Catholicism

They go surprisingly fast! I am genuinely scared on only two rides. Indeed the Astro Orbiter, and Mission: Space. I guess I'll never make it as an astronaut. 🤷

They closed Quest just when I took a string of December, February and hurricane vacations. I could have used that place!

It's amazing how much you could update a movie by inserting a few contemporary scenes. You can keep your Rocky Mountain flyover shot for thirty years. And then send a crew with nine iPhones on a drum to shoot ten seconds of purple-haired Montréal youth to update the film.

Yes, Iron Man is great! I am not into Marvel, I'm afraid that whole aspect is a bit lost on me. But for a superhero experience this attraction is surprisingly good. Just plain fun. A bit like the Iron Man movies then, which after a long delay I finally watched one day and which entertained me...

Hong Kong DL has a new-ish terrific Iron Man attraction, using the very ST technology, updated spmewhat. 50 years is a short time in theme parks.

People don't appreciate show. Anticipation followed by pay-off. Immersion, tension, being sucked into a world for a little while. What are they like between the sheets? Or the dinner table? They snatch their steak from the plate while the waiter is still holding it and stuff it whole into their...

KS is the highest rated classic ride. All the higher scoring experiences are brand new, the past few years or so, except for RSR, which is still only 13 years old. Which makes me dream, what if they had build the Asian boat ride too... 🤔

Well forty monkeys sitting in a self moving steel cage to watch that lion are not living the life of a chimpanzee either, yet here we are.
