The one figure that doesn't make sense is Disney Hollywood studios. How can that small park do an average of 31000 guests a day and not go into near daily phase closure? The only real numbers on there are Tokyo Disney (combined park attenance), Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean Park in Hong Kong...

The Disneyland Paris Future Feature presentation that will be held at IAAPA Expo Europe next September will require both an expo badge and a special event ticket. They've booked a two hours slot for this on the last day of the show and I am curious to see if they will unveil any new things.

I went to Hong Kong Disneyland last week and this was my third visit to the park. I wanted to share some observations. - I can't comment on admission media as I was invited by Hong Kong Disneyland in the interest of full disclosure. - Very easy to get to the park from the city. Just take the...

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril at Disneyland Paris was a stop gap measure for extra capacity. When the park opened, there was only one roller coaster, Big Thunder Mountain, and that side of the park was quite low in capacity. Space Mountain was on the docket and about to start...

I was at the park last thursday and construction was much bigger than I was expecting. Half the hub is blocked off and a good part of the courtyard in Fantasyland is walled off as well. There is a temporary access path and sign through the wall that leads to the Winnie the Pooh shop. The park...

Look at 6:10, the walkaround characters of the Phantom and Melanie Ravenswood!

Here is what I am getting for the dialogue with the lines marked as French for the translated lines and the English transcription so you can easily follow along. I will save this for a future blog post seeing this is a long process to do. This is not a direct word for word translation as I...

I will do that later as it will require multiple rewatches of the second video.

Great way to put it! Having two distinct characters like Disney usually does for those situations would have made more sense. Perhaps keeping the original french narrator as a tour guide and Vincent Price as the Phantom could have worked better?

As a native french speaker, I found the new approach where they replaced the deep voice of Gerard Chevalier (original french voice of the Phantom) by a french Vincent Price sound a like quite odd. The way the speech alternates between english and french can lead to some confusion as you need to...

I found a better video:

May 3rd reopening for Phantom Manor.

It works in the same way as Splash Mountain for me: 99.9% of the guests riding don't know what Song of the South is... yet everyone love the attraction and the characters. For TRON, they concentrated on the most iconic part of the movies and for once, there is no giant storyline "explaining the...

I am Absimilliard, yes. I had issues with administrators on both of those forums, so I moved off to other sites. Now, this and another one are pretty much the last forums I post on as my blog take up the rest of my time. I am curious to see if Joe Schott was promoted to the top job in Shanghai...

Philippe Gas is heading to Tokyo to act as the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts liaison with OLC. He is not coming back to Paris at this time.

The nicest effect for me in the TDL Haunted Mansion is easily missed. Its the walking book in the library and it was never retrofitted to WDW Mansion.

Even if you throw more money at it and hire more steel workers to take down the old track, you're still stuck at one place: when can you get the new track? The amusement park industry is red hot at the moment and many suppliers are fully booked up for years. Add Disney particular requirements...

For space reasons, a traditional lift hill would not work due to a lack of usable space after the drop. Elevator lift? Reliability and capacity would collapse as Hafema had to install side by side elevator lifts for River Quest (Phantasialand in Germany) and Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure...

Extending the layout is not possible with Kali River Rapids for one reason: gravity. There are no motors pushing the water along to propel the boat; instead, its a river rapids where large pumps take water up from a reservoir to the highest point of the ride. From there, it flows downhill to the...
