Might as well get my Destination D23 Parks Panel predictions for Walt Disney World out of the way. Magic Kingdom - Reopening Date of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad earlier than expected, by December 2025/January 2026, a peek at some reimagined effects and show scenes. Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger...

It's that time of year again.

If they got the same people who worked on Test Track 3.0, and a sponsor to foot the bill, JII 4.0 would probably become the best ride in EPCOT. That is, if we’re allowed to dream.

The two astronauts from SSE were moved to Space Mountain after the 1994 refurb if I'm not mistaken.

In a nutshell, it’s a retheme concept of Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters, but not as a cheap retheme, but as a completely new omnimover dark ride with an expanded track layout that not only immerses riders into the Communiverse from Elio, but also as a spiritual successor to the beloved...

An attraction concept I’ve had for Disneyland’s Tomorrowland ever since I saw Elio in theaters and immediately fell in love with the movie, my first time on here armchair imagineering too as well. ^^

I wouldn't believe it until we have more reliable insider sources, she claims he got it from a cast member working at CoP, but I'm waiting for the experts to see what they know.

As you step through the studio archway, you're leaving Hollywood and entering the "studio", aka the movies, which is how I've always seen it.

With the same 2017/2020 show? Or are they doing something new? If they wanted to take the safe route, they could go back to the 1971 days where it was only Abe Lincoln who delivered the main speech in the show and just cut the current president's message.

I wonder if they're gonna replace the long-deactivated Escape Hatch fog vortex effect with something new entirely during the refurb.

Was watching a recent POV, and I think the fog is back... O.O

Interesting how Disney is still silent on an opening date of Test Track even during a media day event, any murmurs of a potential ETA? (Watch this, they’re going to announce the opening date after I post this today.)

The funny side of me really hopes they go for a bit of a Looney Tunes slapstick-style approach ala Timon & Pumbaa

A while back, I remember seeing a permit filed with a company that also provided the same projection dome screens as Cosmic Rewind. Maybe you might be right on that one, as I predicted as well.
