    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    That one is actually just a rumor. But it's a persistent one. I could give you the ," It's Bluesky, plans change, blah-da-blah..." but there is money earmarked for Imagination. *1023*

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    This is largely true overall. They are looking to spread out the crowds. The real problem is a lack of headliners to draw guests to the parks that are lightly attended and a lack of compelling C and D tickets to keep them there. (When I use those words, I am comparing the other 3 parks to Magic...

    AVATAR land construction progress

    That is a decent summary. I think I can augment it a bit: 1. We want TWDC to innovate, develop, design, & construct high quality attraction and themed lands on par with their established standards. 2. We want the talent at WDI to operate in a way that does not waste that talent or resources...

    "You could not be more wrong. You could try, but you would not be successful." (Fun quote a few of you might get.) Theme: Is the root of something. The most important and central thing to your story. Everything revolves around it. If your theme is the preservation of the earth and it's...

    Your argument is with film historians, the Library of Congress and AFI....not with me..... and as predicted in the first post on this variant of subject manner, opinions are personal. Also as predicted, your opinion now shadows everything you post on similar subject manner. Hence, going forward...

    Thanks Matt..... As usual...... select one thing from an entire post without context.... *1023* ETA: Sometimes film is preserved for historical significance. But again nuance is lost on some.

    News Disney Not Renewing Great Movie Ride Sponsorship Deal with TCM ; Attraction to Close

    Normally, I don't get dragged into conversations about movies. Movies are personal in a way that can't be explained. However, when people start blanketing award winning movies as nothing special, I start to evaluate their opinions in other matters. Forest Gump may not be your cup of tea (or in...

    IT really isn't that bad.....or that likely in the near term. I have been using VR tech the last few days. It is truly amazing how immersive the tech is. Haptic response on an individual experience level is really the ground breaking aspect of VR. After just a moment your mind abandons the idea...

    AVATAR land - the specifics

    "Motionless" is a new themeing trick... We are going back in time and pulling from Madame Tussaud. The first major experiment in recent years was the Strobe light effect on the Yeti... Strobe lights make everything better.... Also, as a natural effect of aging, we all end up with some sag in...

    AVATAR land - the specifics

    I will say this again, "This ride will be impressive." I'm going to use a comparison that I am not sure has been used here before. Look at the attraction Dinosaur. It has had some changes from its inception but is largely the same attraction as the superior Indy attraction in DLR. From the...

    Leave it to Kippel to throw shade and launch into a forum hating tirade (not limited to WDWMAGIC, the hate is spread everywhere). My timing for return was excellent as usual. At least the Country Bears will get extra love for as long as he doesn't get booted. I will venture to say, they probably...

    AVATAR land construction progress

    That's great. I ,however, do care how long the construction timetable is. It has a direct impact on park capacity and in the case of DAK, operating hours. Of course, the real issue of the construction timeline is that it's absurdly long. As mentioned before, this is done strictly for financial...

    AVATAR land - the specifics

    For capacity, you can get two different answers: Theoretical capacity for the attraction - Let's say 2400 per hour Actual operating capacity - Let's say 2180 per hour You will always miss the mark by 8% to 15% in real world operation. Why? because people are dumb, slow, and lack the ability to...

    Pace of construction under the current management structure is directly related to financial reporting. There are no real physical or logistical reasons to draw out projects otherwise. Several members here have construction and engineering backgrounds and have commented that Disney's...
