Agreed. Autonomous vehicle technology has advanced leaps and bounds in recent years (automated shipping yards, while not this fast, coordinate dozens of Autonomous vehicles and are almost mesmerizing to watch). These vehicles will be in a predictable/routine pathway with no/minimal variables. Is...

"Your [Imagineers] were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

FWIW, Dynamic Attractions has been developing this ride system (which is driverless) for about 7 years. Not saying that they've worked out all the bugs in that time, but it is something that's had plenty of R&D invested into it. The video here appears to have a driver just to give a test of what...

I mean, if it's comparable in speed and maneuvering to that test, it seems like this could be amazing... my fear is that the lawyers will slow it down significantly...

So we know the following... 1. Fans want to keep HoP related to the presidents. 2. Disney likes to use IPs where possible 3. Disney now owns the Fox catalog of films 4. Disney will likely want something to counter Dark Universe at EU (before they can get Villians Land open) I think the...

With the advent of AI voice technology, can't we have the four most recent presidents just sing a barbershop quartet version of "Golden Dream" with Obama's warm tenor voice taking the solo?

Would be bad optics for sure... especially given that they were seemingly starting to gain back some favor with their more right leaning clientele (who had been quite strongly anti-Disney for a nice little while)

Their history of mixing animatronics and fire isn't the best!

To an extent, true, but choosing the right IP and the right matching merchandise/food can have a significant impact... I'm sure Universal sold substantially more Butter Beer than Disney has sold of LeFou's Brew.

Based on the way the new planter looks at EPCOT, I have a pretty good suspicion what the new fountain at DAK will look like!

I can't be sure my measurements are 100% correct, but trying to align an overlay on Google Maps, I'm getting a total show building size for the Encanto ride of ~70,000 sq ft (which includes some area that is almost certainly indoor queue). If you assume that that triangle shaped area is all...

I could see a capibara exhibit fitting nicely in the grassy area just north of the outside portion of the Encanto ride standby queue (something that could be enjoyed both by the people in the queue as well as people entering the land from the Nemo Theater side). Other than that, I doubt we see...

Agreed! Lots of interesting details. Just some I noted: Looks like the covered outdoor walk way for Dinosaurs/Indy may be fully enclosed (temple like entrance like DL?) Someone better at overlays than I could accurately measure out the Encanto show building (appears to be roughly similar in...

Imagine all of the awesome new Adam Sandler movie pitches it could come up with!

I think too many people look at AI and only see the creative aspect (like content creation) and direct interaction aspect, but what AI is REALLY good at is the analytical aspect... specifically pattern recognition. Using AI for things like labor scheduling, crowd distribution, and purchasing...

Well, given the direction prices are going, when will "Coupon Day" be?

If true, it's kind of wild that the best room at Pop on (what I'm assuming is) the highest demand day of the year is only $1 less expensive per night than the least expensive room at the Helios Grand on (what I'm assuming is) the lowest demand day of the year.

Woops! You are very correct, I calculated based on when this thread started (12 Apr 2018) instead of when Epic Universe was actually announced (01 Aug 2019). The correct calculation should be that it will have been 5 years, 9 months, and 21 days between announcement date and grand opening for...

From what I can find, Tron was announced on July 15, 2017 and had it's grand opening April 4, 2023... 2089 days later (or 5 years, 8 months and 20 days). So comparing announcement to grand opening dates, Tron took 80.4% as long to open as Epic Universe did... Edit: Woops! I calculated based on...

2597 days (or 7 years, 1 month, and 10 days) from announcement day to grand opening day! Edit: Woops! I calculated based on when this thread started (12 Apr 2018) instead of when Epic Universe was actually announced (01 Aug 2019). The correct calculation should be 2121 days (or 5 years, 9...
