    D23 Anniversary Party at WDW

    The access to all of the Marty Sklar and Joe Rohde events was limited to our group and CMs. But the point was, they were done and they were free. I would take that any day over a dinner and a special showing of Philarmagic. I just don't get the appeal of D23 at all... I just want it to once...

    D23 Anniversary Party at WDW

    Really? My own experience (and that of quite a few others here) would disagree with that. Disney did cater to us quite nicely when they realized how awesome their hardcore fanbase was. I have had a desert party in the Odyssey, been given free access to the Norway VIP lounge, been part of a...

    D23 Anniversary Party at WDW

    But... here on WDWmagic we were some of those that began the trend of group fan meetups, long before D23 and without a ridiculous membership fee. You want to meet up with other like minded fans? Post it here, when & where... they will show up.

    Kali River Rapids - what is it like?

    If you have already been on the Popeye one at IoA you have been on one of the best raft type rides there is. Besides some themeing, Kali is one of the worst, with the one at your local six flags being longer and more fun. As far as wet goes, Popeye's is obnoxious... you might as well just jump...

    Potter Express pass

    Yeah, hope the capacity of this attraction will be huge. I expect very long lines for a very long time.

    Rip Ride capacity problems

    Rip Ride Rockit used the moving platform loading today with 4 trains. Reports were that they stopped a few times and overall were just trying to get used to it with guests. -Crappy cell phone video (not mine) http://bit.ly/d6Bahd http://bit.ly/dj2pud

    Rip Ride capacity problems

    Just stopped by there tonight on the way home (:king:) and can at least report there were very smoothly running 4 trains today. Still however, that is 48 people total on the ride at a time, or the equivalent of running Hulk with 1 and a half cars. I can also confirm there are at least 5 trains...

    Anywhere you could possibly reach it, it is a layer of real concrete.

    Rip Ride capacity problems

    Here is the problem as I see it. Empty trains on windy days have valleyed twice. They have since added a device to help with this, but not really solve it. So, any possibility of valleying after the non inverting loop (where it has happened twice) means that with full 7 train/moving platform...

    Rip Ride capacity problems

    It was designed to work with a moving platform load system. They don't use it for (insert any number of internet rumors here). Without it, they have to wait for each train, that holds only 12 riders, to come to the end of the load station, then stop it and unload/reload. This is completely...

    myFOXTampaBay.com - Hogwarts Castle image released

    I've said this before, but it is worth repeating... Yes, you can see the massive showbuilding from within the park. However, only from certain angles in Jurassic Park. And you know what? It almost looks like the other big visible showbuilding in Jurassic Park, kind of like it is another JP...

    Mardi Gras 2010: 15 Years of Beads and Bands

    The crowds get very massive in the hours before the concert begins. The first half of the day isn't bad, but if you could go other days and don't care about the Mardi Gras atmosphere or concerts it might be wise to do so. However, if you have enough days, the other parts of Mardi Gras...

    Harry Potter?

    I'm sure the second there is a real date announced we will all know it. Until then, if people know, they aren't allowed to tell. If they claim to know, they most likely don't. :wave:

    myFOXOrlando: Scaffolding removed around Potter

    Only the front part. The HUGE backside is still very visible from JP. Like I said before though, it kind of looks like the other JP show building, so it might work as is.

    myFOXOrlando: Scaffolding removed around Potter

    We only know what you know right now. I'm sure within seconds of there being a date, everyone will know it. :D
