    What's Next For DHS And AK??

    And yet I have trouble feeling like I had enough time almost every time I go. . . You can definitely say that and not be "hating" on the park. I agree, I'd like to see more. I'd like to see more in every park, two or three of them more than I would DAK.

    Eddie Sotto's take on the current state of the parks (Part II)

    I often wonder how people who gripe about things -- Everest in particular -- would have handled the original Matterhorn. As I understand it, it was always supposed to be filled in, they just realized they didn't have to because people rode in it spades, anyway, and there was no other huge...

    Which place shoved a bloomin' onion (with dipping sauce) on your burger? That place.

    Eddie Sotto's take on the current state of the parks (Part II)

    I've seen them, but I think they're no more glaring than things you can see on almost every other ride. IF RS1 is right (and I use that if only because I don't want to assume to understand the inner workings of a ride I have only guest experience with), then he's right, the problem is not...

    What's Next For DHS And AK??

    I dunno, it's on a trail that offshoots from the main path around Discovery Island. When I have a full day to spend in the park, I spend a lot of time on those trails and try and hit all of them, with time spent to take in the atmosphere. DAK has easily become the hardest park for me to be...

    . . . and wonderful themeing and sightlines in a quiet, natural setting that go in to making it my favorite park. Don't forget the giant awesome catfish. What makes the trails awesome is not the number of animals you can cross off a check list. It's the place and ambiance that is created...

    Beast's Castle

    I've seen it plenty since it went up, and it looks just fine with forced perspective. You'll never seen people standing next to it giving away its actual size.

    First Look at A Completed Home In Golden Oak!

    Every night I complain about the loud thumping noise. Then I remember it's the fireworks, and get happy. Funny how that works. . .

    I've met multiple people from the forum, actually. And run in to people I already knew. :lol:

    favorite quick service AK

    With the death of Tusker House (and rebirth as one of my favorite TS places), there isn't much counter service I like in DAK. I'll get the sandwich at Pizzafari, or the pulled pork thingy at Flame Tree. Neither am I a huge fan of. I want fries. They make up for it with the wonderful...

    favorite quick service MK

    Harbor House, fish and (now) shrimp for lunch. I love how empty it is, the food is just fine, and sitting up stairs is great. Cinnamon rolls in the bakery for breakfast. Fried chicken sandwich from the stand across from Pecos (Golden Oak?) for dinner.

    If the Discovery Island trails were eliminated, I might literally cry.

    Ride Ruiners

    I can personally attest to the bold part not being true, in general. But I won't go further than that.

    Careful. You're going to make the people here who think he likes details too much angry!

    New Fast Pass Testing at Splash Mountain?

    That would still result in needing to up the FP ratio for a certain time bracket, so the only difference between that and letting someone just use their thing late is that a guest has been made angry because they couldn't use their thing late.

    TV's In Queue Lines Needed

    Wait, what TVs at the SM exit? I've ridden dozens of times since the refurb and haven't noticed one. Not being snarky, completely serious.

    New Fast Pass Testing at Splash Mountain?

    It's limited by how many people are in their group. It's not greedy, they are paying guests who wish to make the inclusion of a FastPass fee in their park admission worth it by getting FPs. There just happen to be a lot of them together.

    New Fast Pass Testing at Splash Mountain?

    It can be due to down time, but, depending on the ride, it is usually because of a lot of late FP users coming at once. Or the Cast Member inside feeling bad for the stand by line and letting too many of them in. Not if the cast members do their job.

    New Fast Pass Testing at Splash Mountain?

    It's staggered so that FP will have a short wait. If everyone in a certain window doesn't come at their window, though, then standby ends up being shorter than intended. The result is still the number of people going through the ride that they want. Later, when they come back, stand by will...
