IMO, *this site* and forums is the best place to stay updated on soft openings. :) A true soft opening is just that, and something that won't be formally announced by Disney.

That one came from a ferry boat captain. Apparently there are going to be rear-view mirrors added to the boats (they will probably be screen-based technology and not actual "mirrors" to give the illusion of an intense Sven chase sequence). My friend was holding onto this one for herself, but...

Right, but a lot of the previous discussion comments seemed to place possible blame on a "fog machine" (probably because there appears to be visible fog/smoke in the images and videos of the event), and not on malfunctions, dust or bugs, which is why I suggested that Disney's systems are likely...

On that note, does anyone know what Terry Ward is up to nowadays? Is he still performing at WDW? I know he was working in LMA and strolling on Hollywood at the Studios, but come to think of it - I haven't seen him in quite some time. I'd love to see him back on stage at the Horseshoe.

I would assume (maybe wrongfully) that various theme park facilities must use "intelligent" fire alarm systems, and more specifically - intelligent smoke detectors, that would be triggered by carbon monoxide but not harmless fog machine effects, for example. Just think about how many theme park...

Possibly atmosphere or advertisement character actors...? And possibly something for the grand opening that isn't intended to be utilized in the long term operation of the attraction...? I just don't see an attraction of this magnitude relying on live character performers *inside* of the...

Photo or it didn't happen. Oh wait... Yup, I remember that like it was yesterday. :cry:

That makes sense. I assumed that maybe that show was re-blocked to eliminate the "man grabs woman by the throat" element in light of how sensitive society has become as of late... But that moment always got a good laugh and sometimes applause from the audience with the original show script...

That's exactly what I was thinking. Designate the "special people" to enter attractions, and leave the rest of the crowd even more time to eat and shop. It's a win/win, with the only downside being having to explain to carry-over guests why they cannot also enter an attractions, but that...

I was surprised to see so much KONG merch already in the parks and even the CityWalk kiosks. The large mug with the stone-like texture is kinda cool.

Go fast, go slow, just let it... go. :arghh:

Visited this attraction over the weekend. Sat in the center of the auditorium. One thing with the audio seemed different to me; the on-screen dialogue volume was VERY low, particularly in comparison to the rest of the audio (machines, music, effects, etc.). At times it was difficult to hear...

So, does this create a problem for anyone whose name may also happen to be Joseph Melendez from getting park admission? :cautious:

I heard that it will become a lot used to store vehicles that are towed on-property due to being in violation of resort parking rules and regulations. He's coming for you. You know who you are... Mater Country - Coming Soon

Not all "urban explorers" are also good photographers. I think these photos demonstrate a degree of quality above your typical teenage tresspasser. There was clearly some effort put forth in their composition beyond the typical 'hurry up and snap a few shots before we're caught' photos that we...

By charging them the same rate for admission.

A friend of mine is at the World today and he asked a bus driver about the status of Frostrom. The bus driver showed my friend a picture on the driver's phone and allowed my friend to take a picture of the picture on the phone. Apparently the bus drivers get mid-construction tours of new...

The headline for the HM on the official Disney website is: "Embark on a spine-tingling tour through an eerie haunted estate, home to ghosts, ghouls and supernatural surprises." That's pretty straightforward, and there is a more detailed description provided below that. If guests may be prone...
