Apparently the bar lighting produces x-rays. I know Disney is committed to using Photoshop to crank out the concept art these days, but they could have at least made the people fully opaque. :)

True enough about Indiana Jones. I didn't mean to suggest that this was evidence of Disney not wanting to spend money. But rather that this is a case where a lot of money would have to be spent in relation to the payoff, like the Mission: Space hallway, and for that reason I understand why they...

Hmm. Are you just asking whether it will get some paint and cleanup, or are you asking whether Disney will ditch that whole classic-Hollywood vibe for something a little more "now"? Mind you, I don't know the answer to either.

This has been gone over before--it seems like such an obvious idea, and certainly Star Tours and the SWL seem very close, so why not? But there's no real way to do this. The two areas aren't as close as they appear; a corridor from the end of Star Tours to SWL would, depending on the route, be...

You seem angry :). Look, I only know that the guy has a disclaimer in the description of the video that says Alvey asked the ride manager who said that GoPro chest mounts, among other things, were okay (and not just for Alvey, but for anyone). If you claim information that suggests Alvey is...

Just to be clear on this...Robb Alvey (Theme Park Review) has always stated that he never photographs or records anything without permission. In the description of this video he says that was cleared by the manager to record, so long as the camera was chest or wrist mounted. Alvey has done some...

I never saw the film for that reason. I remember when Cameron was interviewed while working on the film, and kept gushing about how the visuals were going to set a new standard for films, and had nothing to say about the story or the characters. I've seen him make the same kinds of remarks about...

I've never seen the Disneyland version, but I've often thought this. In particular, I can imagine how thrilling it would be to have the paddle-wheeler, all decked out for the show, steaming around the corner for the finale. Thrilling, and for first-time viewers, surprising as well. The...

I'm no insider, but from what I have seen and gathered, the answer is no. The Falcon we see in the concept art will not have a guest-accessible interior. Instead, it will be used by "streetmosphere" characters to enter and leave the area. Although it may seem odd that we have a Falcon ride, and...

I understand your general point, that we shouldn't be locked into the past for the past's sake. And hey, I'm a die-hard Horizons fan, but I'm on record as saying I don't blame Disney for getting rid of it, given its low attendance at the time. So I get that. But...Impressions de France is rarer...

Yes. That would have been worse than making you ride a train to visit a petting zoo.

Don't be so pessimistic. You only need to ride it four times to have a better-than-even chance to pilot. Ride # ...Chance to Pilot Falcon on This Ride ... Chance to Fail This Ride ... Cumulative Fail Chance ... Cumulative Success 1 ... 16.67% ... 83.33% ... 83.33% ... 16.67% 2 ... 16.67% ...

From what we have discovered, it will be a screen-based simulator. You'll be sitting the in the Falcon's cockpit (six people, I think) with the screen in front of you. Your screen and your cockpit will be slowly rotating together but that effect will go unnoticed by guests. The rotation is to...

Wait, O cryptic one! Are you saying that the ride will have two more carousels that have yet to be built, or that the queue and other parts of the experience represent the other half of the attraction?

Well, they managed to include Israel in the big box o' countries for the millennium without anything blowing up, although they had to tweak the wording of the movie narration to make people happy. Or happier, at least.

...at which point DCA's Tower of Terror retheme to Guardians is quickly retooled to a Beauty & the Beast overlay. Joe Rohde introduces the concept in an agonizing YouTube video: "The Beast lives in a kind of tower, fortress, warehouse kind of thing..."

The fact that you can walk from the Polynesian to the Grand Floridian ought to indicate how silly it is to check someone before they board a boat or monorail to make the same trip. "Sterile zone." Right. Are they going to perform security checks before they allow someone to drive into a resort...

Can someone tell me if the trees above and behind the wolf-like creatures on the log are projected on the screen, or is there more physcial scenery back there? I'm trying to figure out if we're seeing "squinching" correcting for perspective on those projections, because I don't see how you would...

I'm not sure if you are serious with this post. Gondola ropeways are not so common in the Caribbean (or much of anywhere, expect maybe ski resorts) to be mentally connected with it. It's not a question of whether they actually exist there, and I think you know that. A themed resort should have...

So you're saying he's wearing a 19th century costume in order to fit in? :) I guess I don't care about this thing one way or the other, but I have to admit, I never thought I would live to see the day that "John Stamos does it" would be a bullet point, let alone a mike-drop conversation ender...
