    Disney, VR/AR, and Apple's WWDC 2023

    I see people continue to bring up (not just here but everywhere) that people have doubted the success of various Apple products and they've all been successful. I really don't see how AR headsets can take off though. If my eyes felt strained after 5 minutes of riding Mario Kart, how will people...

    News Disney CFO Christine McCarthy says Disney will continue to focus on existing intellectual property for new park investments

    I've learned that quite a few people are creatively disinterested in what Disney has been doing. The issue is that it's not easy to articulate because of how complex creative engagement can be, but there's definitely a lot of negative sentiment out there. I like to compare it to Disney's take...

    Unpopular opinions about the parks?

    I didn't really "get" characters until I went to Disneyland where they roam around and have spontaneous improv with people and other characters. Seeing Aladdin trying to sell stuff from one of the fruit carts or the Mad Hatter and Alice getting onto the teacups and interacting with people as the...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    This may sound strange, but I think that it would really work well as a spiritual successor to Adventure Thru Inner Space. Returning to the idea of matter and energy, riders will be shrunken down to the atomic level and will journey through inner space. The star projections could easily become...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    I think that Disney should start doing more Disney boat and dark rides.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Coming into this thread without reading through it, I do have an interesting observation. Yesterday (Sunday if anyone is reading this in the future) I was scrolling on my phone and I saw an article noting how low WDW crowds were for Memorial Day weekend. I checked the app and I was quite...

    Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin - Classic or Not

    The ride has become a staple of the Magic Kingdom experience, but I wouldn't really consider it a classic. It's just an acceptable ride that pads out your day that also has ridiculously long waits because Disney won't address capacity issues in the park. The Disneyland version with its...

    Ideas for best transport solutions from back of Epcot to front of Epcot

    The obvious choice is to just slightly reroute the road and expand the canal so that boats can stop at the front. It's probably the cheapest and most sensible option.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    The prevailing rumor seems to suggest that this attraction will have minimal screens and won't contain any of the domed screen portions at all. I feel that those domed sections themselves induce a lot of nausea in people, as well as needing to flip the vehicle so wildly to hide the transitions...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    The credit should go to Intamin for Gringotts in 2014.

    Was GOTG placed in the right park?

    I didn't quite understand what you meant at first, but you've explained your perspective very well. I definitely see what you mean.

    Was GOTG placed in the right park?

    Animal Kingdom's Africa, Asia and Dinoland don't count? All of Islands of Adventure had single themed lands too (with perhaps the Lost Continent being the exception for a kitchen sink slate of attractions).

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Don't they always wall it off when they're not using the booths? It's lazy and unbecoming of them, but pretty standard I thought.

    Was GOTG placed in the right park?

    "Fun is cheap. I can have fun in an inflatable pool in my backyard. I can have fun playing basketball by the garage. I can have fun watching videos of snarky cats. This fun costs very little. An inflatable pool costs 50 bucks or less and can be used many times. A trip to a major entertainment...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    That seems like a likely option as well. Perhaps they'll do both.

    Iconic Purple Directional Signs Being Replaced

    Since they're digital, I wonder if they would change the colors if enough people complained.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    I'm betting that the Summer 2024 Tribute Store will reveal a lot of what will be included in the park.

    Mission Space chopping block speculation? Do we trust this source?

    If they're not going to tear out Imagination and replace it, why would they touch this? That being said, I can certainly see them closing it or turning into a seasonal attraction. I have to imagine that the attendance it receives doesn't really justify the operating costs. While the same might...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    I believe they have a designated meeting area, but otherwise Universal has more roaming characters than not. I also see a lot of spontaneous entertainment as well. Last year, next to all of the construction where they're building Villain-Con, there was entertainment out in the street pretending...
