The Marvel theme park attractions are technically part of an alternate universe, though, so they could get away with using either ship and it not be ‘wrong’.

That was when Guardians was also taking Wonders of Life, right?

If VR didn’t give me such a headache I would be in that lightsaber dojo every single day.

It wasn’t referred to as ‘The Watch’, but Deathwatch was a terrorist group that sought to restore Mandalore (whose government had renounced war altogether and refused to participate in the Clone Wars) to its violent ways. The helmet thing didn’t exist, but it seems like they’re going for a ‘cult...

Is this building being constructed for the WDW version? It’s hard to tell if the materials in that spot right now are for the canopy or the beginnings of this structure.

I think the separate gunner’s seat would have happened had Falcon been budgeted to be the primary E-Ticket, but the cannon buttons being on the side does feel like a wild oversight considering you have to look forward to see what you’re firing at. This is one of those rare instances where (in...

The queue is a nothing burger, but we were actually pretty big fans of Monsters Inc.! Maybe it’s because it was our first trip and it got swept up in the happiness of being there for the first time, but we all liked it well enough to do it a few times on our trip. Granted, we loathed Mission...

Any chance the preshow returns as a result? Or will the faster queue just incentivize ops to leave it off for even longer?

You can have both. Big Thunder Mountain, Hagrid’s, Everest, Mummy, and Space Mountain all have well-integrated brakes that don’t negatively affect the experience.

This should mitigate the problem for most, I would think. Isn’t it just a standard lap bar for the back row?

I think there was probably a desire to make the building look a little bit nicer, since it’s proven to be more visible than the concept art suggests both here and in Shanghai.

Is there an internal goal as to when they’re hoping to toss the boarding groups? I can’t imagine they’re great for GSATS on the whole.

I can say, having ridden a few times, it is a much better experience in person than any video I’ve seen would suggest. It’s the E-ticket version of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride with some Cartoon Spin thrown in for good measure. If that’s your cup of tea, you’ll love it. Also, the music felt totally...

What’s more important than the voice to me is the physicality and energy, and I feel like Matt nails Kermit in that respect. I also think that to an extent it’s just about getting used to hearing it consistently. I grew up with Whitmire’s Kermit, so when I was a kid and we saw Muppetvision I...

WDW’s have been Equity from the beginning. Disneyland’s aren’t covered by a union as far as I know, though.

I want to say 100 rooms was floated at one point? It’s very small compared to the other on-property hotels.

That’s why I wouldn’t be surprised to see something pushed back to 2022. Guardians seems like the most obvious choice; Rat is almost done and Tron is likely going to be the focus of the 50th anniversary.

Probably not, I’d guess. Star Wars has already pivoted to focus on Mandalorian and High Republic, so if this sours their relationship then they’ll just refrain from reaching out to him again for any future projects. If anything, his prominence in the ride is a benefit to them given that one of...

Dinosaur’s height requirement used to be 46” as well, but it was lowered to 40” when they changed the name so that it would be more accessible to families with kids.

The toaster oven looks a lot better with the lasers and fog working, though, and the 2016 update to the compies is also much appreciated. I also think the ride could benefit from a score. There’s nothing going on musically until the very end, and a big part of Indy’s success can be directly...
