    News Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    I have a feeling Tomorrowland is pretty high on the redo list after this round, but I’ve also been feeling that for quite a while, so …

    News Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    I mean, ideally they'd also be building new such that rotational closings become tenable. 🤷‍♂️

    News Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    IMO, at least one attraction in each park should be closed at any given time for significant maintenance and/or enhancement. If it’s not, you end up with a ton of deferred maintenance and stagnant attractions that could benefit from minor improvements and modernizations. That said, there should...

    News New lighting/tech upgrades at Theater of the Stars for Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage

    Interesting. I wonder if perhaps the upgrades have a lot to do with the desire to utilize the stage for after hours holiday events more frequently and the upgrades to Beauty and the Beast are incidental?

    News Disney plans to accelerate Parks investment to $60 billion over 10 years

    Those who love cruising are those who love cruising. Simple as that; it’s a specific audience. I have many friends who are constantly on cruises. It has nothing to do with whether or not people prefer food and atmosphere to attractions. I prefer those to attractions but would still rather not be...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Despite the footprint being inefficiently utilized, I think TSL is actually sufficiently attraction-dense. What it needs is an elaborate playground since DHS currently lacks that entirely and it could potentially kill two birds with one stone by adding more adjacent theming to Slinky Dog and...

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Construction is happening. You're going to see some stuff. I thought people wanted the train to run even if there was nearby construction, unlike what happened with TRON.

    News 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I mean, this land will have three rides even if one is just a standard carousel. IMO, the lands that genuinely need attraction expansion at AK are Pandora and Africa for balance, plus maybe another simple something at Discovery Island would be nice.

    News Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    I don’t think it’s that people would dislike it; it’s that it’s not outfitted for food service and would likely be very difficult, expensive, and impractical to convert. You’d probably be better off building something new that looks like a steamboat but is actually a building rather than...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I said nothing about that specific user. I didn’t know them personally and have no idea if what they said was true. I was responding only to your suggestion that absolutist language in situations where that’s not actually reflective of reality is not meaningfully dishonest and that it doesn’t...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    This is a board about theme parks. We get that cancer isn’t being cured here and that the relative level of irresponsibility for being misleading about such things is diminished. That doesn’t make it any less dishonest, and it doesn’t mean it should be handwaved. People come here looking for...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Cool. I’ll just present everything I have a vague inkling of or that someone told me through the grapevine as incontrovertible fact from now on without fact checking or giving context. It’s not technically lying, so I’m sure it’ll go over great and not cause any confusion at all. 👌

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Explain to me a scenario related to 2 or 3 where, assuming you’re getting info from some mysterious third party or by connecting dots you think exist, it is responsible and honest to traipse around saying, “Guys, whether you want to believe it or not, this IS HAPPENING!” You are expressing a...

    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    I mean, you technically do get exactly that. Not defending it, but the cakes are three complete stacked rounds rather than the typical two (which sometimes each get divided in half to create the effect of four layers).

    News 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    They want to launch the land as a big bang, which makes more sense from a marketing perspective. The staggered attraction openings in Galaxy's Edge felt really weird, for instance. They'll keep Dinosaur open as long as they can, but they will be closed simultaneously at some point.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    You know when you have gaps in your knowledge. If your reaction is to fill in those gaps with guesses or instinctual notions without qualifying your guesses as such, then you're doing it wrong. It's another thing to be mistaken entirely and legitimately think you know some fact that you actually...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    If you are confused or ill-informed, you know it. Confusion is not a shield for projecting certainty and acting like you know more than you do. You can easily frame something with, "Well, I'm not sure, but I think ...", but far too often, people state something like it's a fact only to circle...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    There's a slight difference between Harmonious' failure and the purported planned near-term obsolescence of the Mermaid redo since its inception.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Still think a Dr. Strange mirror dimension re-theme of RNRC makes more sense since they seem to want to redo that soon anyway, and a mostly projected attraction with lots of trippy reflect-and-fold buildings works around the limited space for meaningful setpieces within RNRC's current layout...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Indeed. I realize it has some setpieces that require a certain kind of space, but if that’s what’s actually happening, they should 100% move the updated show into a different space that currently houses one of their more outdated shows. There are lots of shows that are seriously long in the tooth.
