    News Test Track to be reimagined

    Keeping IP out of Epcot was something the creators of the park decided upon quite adamantly when they first built it. It was something that was brought up in advertisement as a positive in fact. Wanting the park to have its own unique identity that wasn't reliant on existing Disney characters...

    I didn't initially realize this was the queue thread, thought it was the construction one.

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    The Fairytale Hall had unusually long lines 10 years ago because of two reasons. One is that it was a brand new attraction at that time, opening in 2013. The second reason is that Tangled had released not that long before, and Frozen released like two months later. So there was a fresh batch of...

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Saying Gen Z and little girls don't like old dark rides is one of the most obviously hilariously wrong things i've seen posted on here. And that's saying a lot. If your children genuinely do enjoy meeting princesses more than a ride, then I'm going to assure you that they are very much in the...

    He's claiming he works at a "Disney warehouse" and his fiance is a "manager" at WDW. Even if that's actually true, those aren't the sorts of positions that would grant you knowledge of what the upper echelons of Burbank's corporate leadership are discussing. It's just a slightly altered variant...

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    I didn't say being an adult who visits Disney (in this context without children) is a bad thing or warranting an insult. It isn't, i'm one myself and there are tons of others here who are. Adults are the people who make and spend the money on Disney products, whether they have children or not...

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    The image that was posted with the "Disney Adults" stuff was definitely a troll making fun of people. I don't know of anyone who unironically refers to themselves as a Disney Adult in a positive way, and I can smell the sarcasm dripping off of it. I would be over the moon if they actually do...

    I don't know if this is sarcasm or not. But in case it's serious, "Disney Adult" is NOT a positive thing to call someone. It's an insult. This person is making fun of the people who are upset about the removal of the RoA/TSI/Riverboat, along with the idea that they believe they could convince...

    That's very obviously a troll post.

    Is the joke here that you don't actually have an HD version of it, but you're so certain it will be bulldozed that you're betting something you don't have?

    New themed pavement in Adventureland?

    No, it was always plain concrete since opening day. It should be noted that Disneyland's Main Street also opened with plain pavement in 1955. In 2018, the pavement of the trolley track and a couple feet on either side (so about a third of the road) was ripped up and replaced with a brick...

    New themed pavement in Adventureland?

    Somewhat related, I wish they would give the Main Street road a brick and cobblestone overhaul ala Paris and Hong Kong.

    New themed pavement in Adventureland?

    The pavement used in a lot of Tokyo's original opening day areas demonstrates two fascinatingly different things to me- 1- The original pavements used in many of the opening day lands are indeed quite bland and even outright ugly in contrast with the surroundings. Especially the places in...

    New themed pavement in Adventureland?

    It was described as hard sandpaper, so it probably isn't prone to being slippery. That said, by that description it doesn't sound like it would be pleasant to skid on if one DID trip.

    Rumor Spaceship Earth Redo Shelved Indefinitely

    Unironically, I wonder if that relates to any of the frequently software malfunctions in the equipment in recent years. They were likely running XP (or maybe even 2000) when the current version of the ride first opened. Vista was brand new when the ride was being developed, but it was...

    I'll repost something that a mechanical engineer and experienced AA repairman (who has done substantial maintenance work at both Disney and Universal) said on the matter. He singles out all-electric figures in this case as opposed to traditional hydraulic and pneumatic designs because the...
