    Disney's Loss of Spider-Man: How Will it Affect the Parks?

    I think this is the right place and has big parks implications of true. Is Disney going to be stuck with rides promoting movies they no longer have any control over? Are the parks rights tied to the same contract? Why did Disney invest so much in the parks for a character they don’t control...

    News Expose reveals WDC control in online fan community

    No role in TWDC that I've seen. He's a member of the Redstone family, which controls Viacom/CBS. Example of his role in that drama: https://www.thewrap.com/viacom-power-standoff-a-redstone-family-member-explains-whos-really-in-charge-guest-blog/ We're coming into an age of intense competition...

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    It's cheaper to make a Skyliner sticker than a new sign?

    Long live the Eastern Gateway or how I learned to love the Anaheim City Council after the election.

    Metro, every work day. I'd much rather sit on a train than sit in traffic. A lot of discussion of train versus bus is a bit silly-the important question for Southern California transit is whether the transit option is separated from cars. I don't care if I'm on a bus, or a train, or a...

    Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run - Ride/Queue Details and Discussion

    So with the combo of the Slashfilm image and this info, I've put together this version of how the loading area might work. How close am I @marni1971?

    News New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

    Despite the lack of details, this is vey promising. Having just experienced this in Japan - a highly immersive indoor projection experience can be really neat. TeamLab Borderless is an example in Tokyo where you have an entire dark space with different experiences (interactive trampoline...

    Avengers Campus - Reactions / Reviews

    That is a reasonable assumption (based on a small amount of non-public info). It remains to be seen how robust the Stun-tronics are in a production environment.

    Avengers Campus - Reactions / Reviews

    Agree with the architecture complaints. But what if the spiderman inclusion wasn't artistic license, but an actual there using stuntronics? Would be cool, but how long would it last?

    I just don't understand why they didn't give the show a storyline. It's a lot of clips just stuck together-some of which are surprisingly good and some of which are slow and boring. If they did an intro like "Prep and Landing can make everywhere festive - even this haunted hotel" it would have...

    LA Times: Is Disney Paying Its Fair Share In Anaheim

    That doesn't mean the article was "fake". What content in the article was inaccurate?

    LA Times: Is Disney Paying Its Fair Share In Anaheim

    What precisely was "fake" about the article? It had a crappy title and didn't present Disney in a good light. But "fake"? Let's just not through words around...

    LA Times: Is Disney Paying Its Fair Share In Anaheim

    Disney should pay for their impact on Anaheim - including the vehicle traffic they generate. They should pay property taxes comparable to the rest of the city. The model of the city paying for resort district improvements and making it up in hotel taxes seems to minimize the cost to Disney. I...

    LA Times: Is Disney Paying Its Fair Share In Anaheim

    I agree that the title of the LA Times article isn't the best, and in just a few message board posts @Darkbeer1 has done a better job of illuminating the Anaheim political situation than the LA Times. However- I'd like to flip your question around. What's the right level of taxes for Disney to...

    LA Times: Is Disney Paying Its Fair Share In Anaheim

    For anyone who still looks at the paper version of the LA Times - this was Sunday main front page story. It's not a good look for Disney. I have no idea what a fair tax rate is for Disney, but the "30 years of no additional taxes/fees for $1 billion in investment" deal doesn't look good. It's...

    Disney video shows mildew on Kali River Rapids

    It actually looks like the rubber is missing. Maybe they removed it to attach the camera?

    A Spirited Dirty Dozen ...

    Ceremony starts at 25 minutes in. Pretty impressive production, with custom music throughout. I think the US parks could learn from this-every Disney show doesn't need to include a million characters and rehashes of songs and video from every Disney movie. Custom and unique content makes...

    The Shanghai Disneyland spoiler rich attraction preview thread!

    I think safety wise it would be fine (you see similar setups at ropes courses in the US). The reason we probably won't see it in a US park is lawsuits and insurance.

    The Shanghai Disneyland spoiler rich attraction preview thread!

    For the ropes course areas you're harnessed into a track above your head. It's a pretty clever way to make a walk through exciting-no safety nets, but you aren't able to fall because of the harness.
