    Best ride in Marvel Superhero Island?

    I would add to that, 1.) Anything Marvel that Universal could build would necessarily look and sound very different from the "Marvel" most of the general public likes and expects. They own the rights to the characters generally, but not to the derivative works created since the agreement. An...

    Best ride in Marvel Superhero Island?

    Disney doesn't have a time machine. They can't go back and stop Marvel from licensing those characters to Universal.

    Universal Studios Florida desperately needs new BGM

    Not only does Universal need new loops, they need longer loops. Like, a lot longer. I'm pretty sure neither the Camp Jurassic nor Port of Entry loops break 20 minutes. My heart goes out to the poor team members that have to listen to that.

    Best ride in Marvel Superhero Island?

    Isn't it a better time than ever? As long as they didn't use anything original to the movies, what's stopping Universal from putting in an Iron Man ride?

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    Neither Fallon nor Fast and the Furious deliver on their potential hourly guest capacity because people simply aren't queuing up to ride them. This is because those attractions are terrible.

    Yeah- thought Miranda and Weird Al were working on a thing.

    Great E-Tickets like Jimmy Fallon and Fast and the Furious: Supercharged?

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    A lot of it is the difference between Disney having a dedicated in-house engineering company that, most of the time, is the best outfit of its kind in the world and Universal Creative being a relatively small and efficient office that largely relies on 3rd party contractors to do its work. WDI...

    SPOILERS! Discussion/reaction thread for Loki streaming Marvel series on Disney+ - new episodes begin June 9th!

    Oh definitely. Both the dramatic arcs of Black Panther refusing to avenge his father's death and Captain America chosing Bucky over Tony were resolved clearly and with adequate space to let the stories feel resolved. The problem with the ending to Loki isn't so much what happened but that the...

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    Hopefully the money went to elaborate show scenes on the ground floor to begin and end the attraction, but my understanding is that the whole point of these Vekoma articulated coaster cars was that they could dynamically turn to face show scenes when they're moving at speed. Doesn't look like...

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    The real problem with Gringott's is pacing- it has exactly one really good trick up its sleeve and does it right away. Everything after that is screen-based and unlike Mummy there's no satisfying roller-coaster finale- just more screens.

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    Exactly. From the photo's perspective you can see some lower structures supporting what are more than likely an array projection screens, and elsewhere a short projection tunnel. You complete indoor support structures from the tallest to the shortest, so it's highly unlikely that additional...

    Or maybe don't have blind faith in the company that brought us Navi River Journey?

    Not even that. All it did was build up the introduction of a dude who isn't the new Big Bad.

    Do you think Disney is involved in accounting fraud?

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    Not once you're publicly-traded. Hopefully a combination of paid fastpasses and park ticket increases will get the crowds under control.

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    Relatively little themeing visible here. This is looking more and more like Crush's Coaster

    SPOILERS! Discussion/reaction thread for Loki streaming Marvel series on Disney+ - new episodes begin June 9th!

    I don't know if I'd call Loki's behavior in the movies particularly redemptive- his motivations are still ultimately self-preservation and greed- he just miscalculates all the time. The show's path for the character was totally different, which is why the ending is so dissatisfying- there...
