    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    Is that ad art actually real and not edited? That expression is a hell of a choice if it's legit. I'd like to know the story behind whoever drew it and also what sort of approval process it went through (assuming there was any). Because it's hard for me to imagine whoever was responsible isn't...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Unless they didn't actually know where they were going to put this when it was announced, I have a bad feeling it's going to replace something that will cause a bad reaction. Otherwise if it was just going in the AC, they probably would have announced it already. They avoided saying where Cars...

    Changes to Peter Pan's Flight at Magic Kingdom

    Beats me. I wasn't told. I would assume so.

    Changes to Peter Pan's Flight at Magic Kingdom

    In the original novel and author's intent, the pirates at least were apparently not originally from Neverland. Hook was apparently once a part of Blackbeard's crew (the crappy 2015 prequel film Pan even sort of tried to incorporate him into the story). Barrie apparently implied that Hook was...

    Changes to Peter Pan's Flight at Magic Kingdom

    Looks like the "keep the natives but change their designs" suggestion made by some of the tribal leaders that Disney consulted won out over the "get rid of them entirely" and "don't change anything" suggestions from the other tribes.

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    This is as good a time as any to mention that the final version of 7DMT had significant cuts to its scenery compared to early plans. That log bridge as you can see was never built. The original plan was to have dwarf figures marching along the top as the coaster zoomed under them. At some...

    Now just hear me out. A giant model of Deadpool's severed hand flipping the bird as a replacement for Cinderella castle. The kids would love it.

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    What are you talking about? All they have to do is glue giant googly eyes to her delivery truck and give her yet another occupation as a racecar driver and it'll fit perfectly! 🤣

    News All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

    I would be shocked if we got a soundtrack in the classic orchestral waltz-like vein of Spectromagic. But at the very least, I hope they don't take any cues from Paint the Night and its modern pop-music style and beat. I fear they will though given how many modern entertainment soundtracks do it.

    Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    A lot of the space behind the WoL building on its north side is now occupied by Cosmic Rewind. It might be conceivable to expand to its eastern rear (behind the former Cranium Command section), but there's an imagineering building in the way that would need to go and the road would also need to...

    Rumor Lion King Flume Ride being considered for Animal Kingdom

    Not against this ride or anything, but outside vs inside on the ride itself isn't the issue. It's after you get off the ride. A person and their clothes getting soaked and having to walk around outside afterwards. Hopefully they design this attraction in a way that the splash factor can be...

    No, don't do this. Splitting the thread up will lead to the same sort of echo chamber that Tiana was allowed to have when it was split into two threads. And discourage the extremely well warranted criticism.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    To be fair, they have been recently showing versions of the film without Vader. For a while, they had replaced Vader with Kylo Ren, and currently (at least within the past 6 months), they just had a probe droid instead of either. So i'm not entirely sure how sacred even Vader is. They could also...

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    There's still a couple of sizeable expansion pads. This is a map I made some years prior to Tron, most of which was verified by Martin. Martin told me that everything aside from plots 5 and 6 were/are official pads, and we now know that 6 is also seemingly one since Villains was supposed to...

    Also, do we know with certainty that there are two rides at Villains? It said two major attractions, but that doesn't mean both are rides. The other one could be some sort of stage or theater show.

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    The Cars ride looks like it will only be a couple minutes long at most, so that claim is going to be a thing regardless.

    The utilidors may not be affected by this project at all. They pass underneath the LS/Frontierland buildings, not the RoA or walkway connecting to it.

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Another lengthy railroad closure is practically guaranteed. If it's not the land prep and construction access areas, then it'll be from the work to fill in the RoA. The train tracks cross the connecting canal and I assume they'll probably renovate or even demolish/rebuild the old bridge...

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    The expansions for Epcot are the unused spaces in between the existing countries (there were originally designated expansion pads behind some of these, but that wouldn't have been until much later in the park's life after all the other spaces were used up). About half a dozen or so. There would...
