Felt the same way about Guardians, and not only re. Space Mountain! It also makes RnRC largely moot. Sure, RnRC has more speed and some inversions, but it feels so simple and rough in comparison. Cosmic Rewind is next-level fun and trounces both attractions. I’d also take it over Hagrid’s and...

The warehouse is necessary to make it feel like the whole thing is happening across the universe. As many have said, Space Mountain on steroids, with a fantastic, randomized soundtrack you can actually hear. And I hated the blue box during construction. Outdoor coaster would have just been an...

Have to imagine it’s ride #14 where dancing along to a smooth rotating coaster through space no longer feels fun. 😬

13 rides in, and as someone who loves to dance, there isn’t a better ride experience set to music out there. Combine with a smooth, satisfying track layout, and no one will be topping it for a while. MK’s Space Mountain will snap your neck in comparison, and you can barely hear the soundtrack...

Speaking for myself, this is my favorite ride in any theme park by a wide margin, and I have all the best to compare it to. It’s brought so much joy to Epcot, which really, really needed it. If they got a little too ambitious (or a lot) to make that happen, it was completely worth it in my eyes.

Eh. Basically my interpretation of the same issue is that they tried so hard to make the ride appropriate to its Epcot setting that they went a little overboard with the pre-shows and storytelling. That’s true, they did. But if the pre-shows are too much, and the ride itself is glorious for...

The criticisms might be valid, but ultimately we go to these parks to feel something. Sometimes it's emotion, sometimes it's inspiration, but fun is virtually always the baseline. The minute the parks no longer feel fun, that's when the desire to return truly dissippates. And for those who can...

You're probably right, but these days I'm aiming to be an optimist with a long-term mindset. Certainly not expecting this announcement at D23 – more likely Tron gets an opening date (if it hasn't already).

The Tokyo announcement out of nowhere gives me hope someone will eventually see the light. I'm thinking that might happen once Space Mountain's demand completely drops off. In its current state, it's literal trash compared to both Guardians and Tron. Very easy comparisons to make, and it won't...

Agreed, it's certainly not a waste of space when it'll be the best ride (for those who tolerate coasters) on that side of the park! I'm detecting sarcasm haha, but Tron absolutely isn't a waste of space. It'll be a very solid addition, even if they could have integrated it better. If its...

Even with that pyro constraint in place, it’s a fantastic show — the projections, fountains, and lasers ensure it still feels whole. I’m genuinely loving Momentous.

Perfect post IMO, having loved Tron in Shanghai. It doesn't come close to topping Guardians for me, but it'll still easily be in the top 3 as far as WDW's coasters go (behind Guardians and Everest). It'll also be in my top 3 MK attractions, alongside Haunted Mansion and Splash Mountain. That's...

That's really the only flaw I can pinpoint compared to HEA (soundtrack feels like a lateral move, even if we might connect to one vs. the other), and it seems there's a logistical reason why they moved the pyro in this direction. Still, the fantastic projections and fountain work just might make...

No surprise after listening to the leaked soundtrack, but I’m obsessed with this show. The music, the message, the projections, the fountains; they all coalesce so beautifully, especially during “Remember Me” and the signature song. Some larger pyro at certain moments would have been great, but...

Even the 'improved' thread title had me doing a double-take that perhaps Imagineer Zach had gotten caught for something abhorrent. Not cool at all. Let the sadness of the topic speak for itself.

I’m completely with you - I think this ride is all the better that it isn’t entirely dependent on its namesake IP (but rather the iconic music that’s a quintessential element of said IP) to be an absolute blast. It’ll hold up even if the MCU’s Phase 2 doesn’t.

The first day I attempted to ride (last Saturday, 6/4), failed to secure a boarding group and didn't purchase the LL. The next 6 days (Sunday - Friday), opted for both, and the last few VQ attempts continuously got an 'instant' boarding time. Wednesday to Friday included a ride companion as...

Spot on. I find it slightly hilarious that my easy #1 (Conga) is an easy last place for a blogger I immensely respect, Tom Bricker. Most of our other opinions are aligned, so it's okay that he's wrong here. ;) (Kidding!)

Agree to disagree - there are absolutely some great Marvel third acts, but I find many of them (even in otherwise-iconic films like Black Panther and Shang-Chi) to be a CGI slog. Cosmic Rewind is much, much more entertaining than that baseline. Like Slinky Dog (mediocre effort) and Mission...

This seems like a ride where, if they wanted to, they could move it off the VQ system very quickly. Will be interesting to see if that happens, or if they keep it going to make sure everyone’s conditioned for Tron.
