You'll note that I specifically left out roller coasters like Mummy from that description. Simulators are not rides, they're fun but they don't actually go around on a track. So lets go through and count up what we've got. Hollywood RIp-Ride Rockit- Coaster, its a ride but as I said I don't do...

They might not be roller coasters but Shrek, Disaster, Twister and such aren't actual rides either. If you can't do thrill rides that knocks out Mummy and Rip Ride Rock-it so you're left with ET and MiB as the only two rides that are actually rides. There'll be the Potter train when it opens...

Hah, came to post Living with the Land too. While I suspect its just for show I loved the fact that it at least looked like they were doing real work towards building the future there instead of just preaching like in many of the other Future World attractions. I'm glad that that one little...

To be fair its been at least five years since LucasArts actually made a good game (and thats being generous to consider Force Unleashed II a good game.) They've published good games recently but always farmed them out to another studio for the actual production. I hate to see LA go and hope that...

I find it funny how many people here are going back and saying "we didn't really want Iger." That smacks of revisionist thinking to be honest, I remember people being over the moon when that plan came through, and looking at how the company has performed so far I think they were danged right to...

Odd, I thought that that was the only ride even in the latest leaked build? So what would it be then, a roller coaster that kids couldn't even go on, another static show?

Even if indoors that doesn't stop other attractions from looking bad when not properly upkept, especially if kept in a damp place like a water ride. I got stuck next to one of the indoor Brer Rabbit figures right before Splash's rehab and he looked pretty dang dirty!

Setting aside those issues, Avatar is a beautiful film but I don't really know how you'll get it to come to life in boat-ride form. I can easily imagine the figures being quickly grimed up due to Florida weather and inadequete cleaning. Dirty the figures up too much and you lose the movie's...

Thats because both centered around creating a utopian city. Its an idea that dates back thousands of years, Walt might have been an innovator but he didn't come up with the concept.

Driving isn't too bad, my family made it from the World all the way back home in PA in a single day once. Typically it would be a two day drive though.

Heh, tell me about it. I saw it for the first time a few months ago and loved it. Great puppet work, great SFX from the golden age of effects work and MJ has real charisma.

Oh boy, setting aside the fact that literally anyone can be trapped on certain rides for extended periods of time and in much less comfortable positions to boot (go on and image search people being stuck upside down in roller coasters) having to hear someone whine about his high blood pressure...

He isn't justifying anything (except his whiny political opinions) in his Big Picture shows, he is merely explaining or examining some random bit of nerd culture.

I tried it and liked it but question if it was worth the price in the same way butterbeer was. But that has far more to do with the drink's presence in the books than the actual drink's taste. I don't think you'll ever beat butterbeer in that sense unless you get a signature dish from another...

Anything Circlevision, Circle of Life, Innoventions pavilion and (unless family is with me) Ellen. Won't do Kali either unless its blistering hot outside.

It hit a lightning rod, everyone was fine.

Its possible that the camel has three settings to shoot at and that those can be manually operated by a CM in addition to being automatic. Thats an old and common funhouse trick (along with wind gusts to blow up ladies skirts and shock buzzers if you sit on certain chairs) that has sadly gone...

It is important though, Hogsmeade is similar and I'd argue that the town does a lot more to bring in guests than that, admittedly great sounding, ride does. New Fantasyland tried to do it to but I can't comment on its success until the work is done and we see it as a complete whole. On the whole...

Its possible, but I think the fourth Indiana Jones film is a good dry run in this department. Setting aside the film's quality (haven't seen it, can't say) if you were to ask people how many Indiana Jones films there were half of them would probably blurt out "three" before going back to correct...

The new movies aren't going to have the cultural cache that the old ones do, not among the general public, not among die-hard fans. They just aren't no matter how good they are. The original trilogy is practically quotable from start to finished due to how worn into popular culture it is...
