    AVATAR land - the specifics

    You might have some terminology mixed up. FOP is a tier 1 FPP and Rivers of Light (the PM show) is a tier 2, so you could have both. What you can't have is an FPP for FOP and Na'vi River Journey at the same time...

    AVATAR land - the specifics

    Perhaps I'm reading too much into this, but the impression I get from the "back story" is that we are eating in a facility being run by the Earth-based tour company, and not a restaurant of the Na'vi themselves. Based on on the film that we have seen, there is no indication that the Na'vi have...

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    If my memory of a number of pages back serves me (and often times it doesn't), the location of the crane was quite close to the border between TSL and SWL. Could they be thinking to use it for the "far" elevated section of coaster track, and then rotate it 180 degrees and use it for a portion of...

    Not a great video, but it gives you the ides. Actually more fun than it looks...

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Google Mater's Junkyard in DCA - this ride is a clone, with different theming. The two sides are actually 2 separate rides; on each ride, the vehicles kind of figure-8 from one disk to the next. I've been on it at DCA; a LOT more fun than the teacups.

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Wondering if they put the tower crane near the border of the two lands, it could be used for the second elevated portion of Slinky and then be rotated to be used for a section of SWL. It could save some money in the end...

    I'm not sure if I can link to a FB video on this forum, but I'll give it a try Orlando Channel 9 TV, Feb 8th

    Guess you never rode Mission to Mars. The "acceleration" effect was created by inflating an air bladder in your seat...

    The Ultimate Disney Classics VIP Tour now available at the Magic Kingdom

    So basically you're paying $20/ride for head of the line privileges. For iasw? Dumbo? I see this as being aimed at people with little kids and not much experience/knowledge of WDW who are willing to spend $800 for a family of 4 (plus the $400 admission) so they don't have to think too much. I...

    New nighttime show 'Rivers of Light' confirmed to be coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

    This link is not good. I try it in Chrome and it won't let me do anything unless I install an extension. I try it in MS and it takes me to a Walmart gift card (scam?). Is there any way of actually gettting to the files or is the whole thing just click-bait?

    New nighttime show 'Rivers of Light' confirmed to be coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Pre Jack Sparrow, the DL ride had a defined story line. It started with "dead men tell no tails", and after two waterfalls you saw a series of dead pirate scenes (the one tied to the wheel is not "alive", the storm is causing the wheel to move). The final scene of that sequence was seeing the...

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I'm seeing a lot of dirt mounds in various areas. Could they be going back to trenches that were in the original concept art, or are they just temporary piles resulting from excavations for track pilings?

    New nighttime show 'Rivers of Light' confirmed to be coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Clearly the poster likes to be critical of things he doesn't understand. He seems to think the Dinoland area was an "actual" parking lot at one time.. That's probably one of the best compliments that the Disney theming people could get. :-)

    New nighttime show 'Rivers of Light' confirmed to be coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

    I don't remember the exact numbers, but several hundred pages ago I think I remember someone saying that 3 ROL shows would have roughly the same capacity of 2 F! shows...

    GOTG Flying Coaster in EPCOT?

    I'll give you that MS is a "thrill" ride, but the other two? Soarin is an IMAX film viewed from a ski lift. TT is just boring until you get to the "speed loop" - which is 30mph slower than driving on a highway...

    New nighttime show 'Rivers of Light' confirmed to be coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Iremember all the way back to the "Laserphonic Fantasy" that blew me away. I think I've seen every major iteration of the since. My personal favorite was the version that had a "middle movement" comprised of short international melodies, and as each was playing, the matching nation was...
