Phew... there's a lot of things flying around in this thread. I'll bite on clarifying the one thing that is actually on topic - the ride itself. So, the en vogue discussion is how is the ride actually performing? Reality is that is performing better than people feared, not as well as it...

The continued acceleration of the devaluation of the Disney Parks difference. Unfortunately, the guest's burden has been spending more for less and less in return. Quality, experiences, value all declined rapidly the past decade. The most glaring thing to me has been how much more time...

Everyone is way too harsh on this ride. It's so meta that the "ending" of this brilliant attraction hypes up your arrival at the infamous "party" that has been constantly referred to throughout the "experience". While it is easy to find some of the less intellectually inclined to be...

A perfect example of this is to watch the guest behavior in the shuttle. Like cattle, theme park guests have been conditioned over the years that if you enter into a room via door A and there is a door B - that is were you will be exiting. Not only does a repeat rider get the satisfaction of...

I wanted to pop into the thread and say it was a treat last week to read all of the feedback while we were in Orlando. Hopefully, the ride lived up to everyone's expectations. It was hard to not share everything (which I couldn't and wouldn't); but, also not say too much in the fear that an...

Everyone involved has been pleasantly surprised how things have been improving. They've found a sweet spot with the number of RVs in play and that keeps the more software related issues in check. These were the things that were causing the frequent 45 minute or so resets in the first few days...

You mean you aren't surprised that they don't want to built queues that can house 6,000+ people for multiple hours, if the plan is to eventually turn FP loose on these lines? While the standby lines on these new attractions may eventually hold multiple hours of people, ops intent is that you...

Yeah, whatever happened to that guy? Answer - he was asked nicely to stop talking. I'm still here. Just keeping my promises to my friends. My thoughts are very much in line with what everyone else has shared. I've been to GE (both coasts) a few times. Been up to the destroyer once...

Hint: it's not a specialized photography/tripod device. They use a patio umbrella light...

I'm trying to confirm; but, best I can tell - the news from yesterday isn't really a delay as much as it is an acceleration for part of the plan. Granted, my sources are primarily in the Lucasfilm side of the project and at this point the project is mostly in the Parks side of the house. If...

Repurposing a meme I once read... Any T-shirt is sleeveless if you are brave enough.

I don't know... it's close. "Yer the most reliable form of transportation these days Harry... er, Joe. " For all of those that keep wanting Potter-swatters at WDW... be careful of what you wish for. You don't want to swat Joe when he's just trying to get you back to the TTC late at night...

Analogy time: frog hopper>Alcatraz>>>ToT>Intamin giant drop>Larson drop towers For those that haven't been on a frog hopper, think of this kind of like FoP's "drop" mechanism. Just enough to catch your tummy; but, not enough to get you or the RV out of control. Here it is just used for the...

I would love for the original Tomorrowland Disneyland pitch artwork to surface... just to be able to read all of the fan community backlash. Toontown would be neat to see as well. It would've had a much more undercover and wouldn't have been as majestic as what we're ending up with.

It's almost like it wasn't designed with DHS in mind... or re-re-engineered to fit on LMA's plot of land. One of the guiding inspirations for Scott's team was New Orleans Square; but, set in the SW universe. People per square inch is going to be a real problem for both coasts. Crowd flow...

Egg nog doesn't melt steel sleigh runners. Wake up sheeple! This was clearly an inside job. Nightmare inducing real world Bing Bong's revenge is a dish best served with milk and cookies.

While this is 100% true... Disney isn't the problem. We are. We are the ones letting them do this. They have literally been playing a game of monetary chicken with their customers for more than a decade. They keep trying to find the point where we all wise up and say enough; but, the thing...

Beastly transport was axed because Orlando was too cheap to want to pay the long term operational costs and by that point of the development cycle - both coasts were destined to be a joint venture. This decision did have a positive impact though. It was the death knell for One Disney. After...

How sad is it that I'm able to reuse this...

The RV system was way ahead of its time and could've easily been repurposed and pressed into service for a Guardians attraction (via square peg meet round hole mentality) if it had to. It would've been very, very easy to make a 45 minute long trip into the cosmos that could've had allowed for...
