The speed at which they turned the hardware around, I wonder if a version like this had always been concepted or designed as a “plan b” if the massive budget for the star gate, taco, arms of wonder fantasy that did get approved, wasn’t approved. I’m sure it’s been tweaked a bit, but they ripped...

But a regional park can do them over a vacant area of land surrounded by the park... HMMMM I can see why that would be too hard for Disney though.

What a waste.

Lol what was the “base” made of that’s being clawed away? Looks like they literally build a house boat with walls. Was that foam or something lightweight?

Remember those crazy days when all Disney parks actually had this cool stuff called “included entertainment “ that set them apart from all the competitors??? Ahhhh the good old days!

The new concept art seems to indicate arms might be back in the center with no star gate. Maybe just the front and back barges without the center can be floated out each evening.

Why the hell do people keep wanting this monstrosity drug over to AK where they already had a purpose built show with WAY better scaled and designed set pieces that they canned and scrapped in about the same amount of time as this failure. Why wouldn’t you just want a better show using the set...

Agree. That was the most involved I’ve been watching the damn thing.

Honestly I feel Dollywood has been classier for a few years.

What’s the green building beside it?

WHAT - That right there is why I fight my wife all the time about another trip to Disney (land or world) she isn't on these boards and has NO IDEA how bad it has gotten. Tip boards? refresh every few minutes? what the hell does any of that even mean? Oh my God how convoluted have they made this...

I don’t think so. I don’t think it’s even been confirmed they are or ARENT using the existing infrastructure.

Do we have any confirmation on those “reportedly” being scrapped though? I see a simple reprogramming.

Good park. Could be more “theme” less amusement, but they know what their true customer demographic is (locals and close regional travel) and have leaned into that very well. Especially for their 50tb this year with shows umpired by retired dark rides-firewotk shows that celebrate the history...

Ummm ok. What was that? Talk about overhyped!

Yes-that was originally the plan. I don’t know why people are so hung up on drones. I’m not that blown away, and they are becoming a “go to gimmick”. Personally I feel like what they had -plus maybe a low level pyro burst like they used for the Jungle Book show) to punctuate the end, and the...

Leave it to Disney to find a way to make it cost 10x more and be half as impressive.

An idea like that was clearly the inspiration behind ROL lanterns, but then the small ones got cut and the giant ones were so minimized in their use that they barely justified their cost.

Yep-I love that they actually have original ride conceit art and set models-like a museum there as well. Perfect blend of history, nostalgia and fresh ideas. Perfect for a 50th anniversary!

Disney cuts and cuts. Others up and up. May not be perfect, but it’s fun, celebrates park history (you know… on a 50th anniversary) and is an ADD not a deletion to the schedule. Off the Rails started this weekend, and added to the 50anniversary fireworks and Street Party parade, proves again...
