    Rumor Possible Indy refurb from Jan to June 2019

    The alternative to a refurb is simple. Turn off all of the lights and call it Dinosaur.

    Ah... my favorite preshow video dude in all of WDW (next to the immortal Patrick of course). We make a game out of counting how many times he says "Uh" or "Uhm" when we ride FoP. *hint - it's a lot. Gotta love the outstanding writing for this character. Nice work pal.

    FastPass rule to live by - ABC Always Be Collecting... moar FastPass And yes, if your current FP goes 101, you can get another for any attraction currently open (which if your original one is still down, then you need to wait until it opens).

    News Exploratory geotechnical borings for new Epcot retention pond suggest new projects are in the works

    With the LPS system, they could easily have Dreamfinder, Figment, and the blimp follow along the side of the RVs (and weave in and out if they wanted). Oh, the things that ride system could do if only they wanted to spend money with it. Financial pavilion trumps the Imagination pavilion...

    News Tomorrowland love

    DL's issue is that they needed to reengineer the already reengineered safety/fall protection in place to do maintenance on Space's exterior due to an accident and DOSH's mandate. The will is there in Anaheim... it's just the way that is broken. Kinda the opposite in Orlando.

    Super Star Limo: My Favorite Disney Ride Of All Time.

    That is no way to talk about the #purplewall. They do an excellent job of keeping the wear minimized from all of the vape pen clouds and avocado toast leavings.

    GamePro ProTips for MaxPass: - as soon as you pass the last scan point (the 2nd one if it has 2 of them), before you put your phone away be sure to make another FP reservation. This allows you to start the next reservation before you are even on the first attraction. For Mansion, this can...

    News Peak season crowds have arrived

    The point is that "peak season" is loosing the fear and "value season" is losing the luster. The difference between continues to ebb.

    News Digital Key coming soon to Walt Disney World Resort hotels

    I heard that in the near future that Deluxe Resort guests will be able to book 10 door unlocks in advance compared to the 7 for Moderate and 4 for Value.

    News Peak season crowds have arrived

    FWIW - these wait times and crowds are not far removed from what used to be considered the slow times in late January and early February that we encountered this past trip, which are up each year over the course of the last 10 plus years. There is no slow time anymore beyond the small window...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    This is a great analogy to make. It's sometimes easy to forget that even in our favorite AA heavy attractions, not all of them are the hero featured quality versions with the latest compliance tech and range of motion. In Alcatraz, there will be plenty of things to see while you are storming...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    The plan (the last time I asked) about food/beverage options in SWL is still to only have in-universe options available within the confines of berms being constructed. Just like Potter. Of course, best intentions in advance are always subject to change by the time it's turned over to...

    Knott's Berry Farm, Magic Mountain CLOSED today due to water falling from sky

    GCI woodies, for the most part, fall in the good; but, not great category for me. They are always fun though. Gold Striker isn't offensive; but, didn't really have anything that stood out for me. Solid ride; but, not top tier. The only GCI's that have ventured into my top tier area are...

    Knott's Berry Farm, Magic Mountain CLOSED today due to water falling from sky

    That's exactly what the RRC thread read like. I need to go find it.

    Knott's Berry Farm, Magic Mountain CLOSED today due to water falling from sky

    One of life's greatest pleasures is riding a wooden coaster in the rain. There is nothing quite like a wooden coaster on a hot summer day to get the wheel bearings spinning freely and then have a good storm come through. It gets the track slick (and reduces friction) and tightens up the gauge...

    News Wishes to be replaced with new 'Happily Ever After' nighttime spectacular

    Re: the searchlights - since they are LED based in order to do the RGB colors, they aren't very bright so they need a bit atmosphere to be visible. Perhaps it was windy and clear when they weren't "on" as on clear nights they can be hard to spot (pun intended) unless some of the shell smoke...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I'm right there with you; but, looking at the barometer of recent E's, Shanghai Pirates is the exception instead of the norm unfortunately. In the industry, 1600pph is on the high end of a great capacity thrill ride with 1200pph being closer to the norm. Of course, the "industry" includes the...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    The issue of capacity is one that's always rooted deep in the ride system selected. Unfortunately, there is a perception (valid or not) that a modern E-ticket means dynamic/kinetic ride systems. That unfortunately limits the options available. For whatever reason, classic capacity heavy...

    DLR Picture of the Day

    Liar! You've clearly run this through some fancy de-benching program. Although if you look closely, to the right side of the frame is an indicator of some mobile benchlike apparatus that could be used to eject a Lucas into a standing position.
