Watch me ruin a simple attraction with only words: Walt Disney’s A Desire Named Streetcar: The Main Street U.S.A. Secret Streetcar Society Engineless Horseless Horse-Drawn Streetcars — STREETCAR, AHOY! “It Was All Started by a Streetcar” Magical Experience One hot Missouri day in 1901, Maynard...

Oh???? Should we take guesses? Grizzly?

And ideally, put the Hatbox Ghost IN the attic. WDW doesn’t have the attic pianist so they could imitate the original Disneyland set-up. I’d really prefer that over here, too.

The ghosty-go-round apparatus is still part of the scene. The classic animatronics were just replaced with individual, slightly concave screens. The carousel takes care of the alignment with the buggies as both distance from the mirror and horizontal tracking are instrumental in the illusion.

Though I totally disagree about IASW and Mary Blair, I appreciate the elaboration. I think your point about lack of tonal variation is an interesting one and is definitely the downfall of many attractions. Buzz is a great example. But I also think sustained-tone experiences have their place.

I think we agree on what an opinion is. Professortango offered his, I offered mine. So, rather than discuss the definition of opinion, I’ll just ask @Professortango1 to elaborate on his original opinion, which, while valid and respectable, is also very bold and has piqued my interest! :) To be...

It’s definitely an opinion, but definitely less along the lines of “Disneyland is better/WDW is better” and more of a steaming hot take along the lines of “The Mona Lisa isn’t actually any good.” Considering Mary Blair is probably Disney’s single most revered artist, It’s a Small World (the...

Apologies in advance if you were being sarcastic. Mediocre is definitely the wrong word for it. There’s a difference between something mediocre and something that isn’t your cup of tea but that is an enduring, widely beloved cultural heirloom. And it’s the only thing in the park where I can...

I am wary as well but after the Hatbox Ghost and the Disneyland-specific improvements in the recent Pirates refurb, I’m hopeful.

If I turn out to be wrong I’m so sorry

We don’t know that for sure. The 2011 WDW additions are dated and irrelevant and I doubt we’ll see them over here. I’m hoping for a Constance 3.0 at the very least. This is the most extensive refurbishment the Mansion has had in 20 years and it‘s long overdue. So turn that frown :( upside down :)

The cost of duplicating Hong Kong’s electric fleet anew or the cost of porting it over after it closed?

Well, let’s summon him. Rap on a table, it’s time to respond. Send us @Rich T from somewhere beyond!

I assume that high-gloss finish is durable and weather resistant. Otherwise I don’t see the appeal at all to keep using it on the stateside castles as of late. 🤢

And the real question is, IF Rise of the Resistance reopens with the park, will it still use boarding groups?

😂 This video is absolutely sending me. LOL it looks so bad. I seriously underestimated how much worse and worse my opinion of this show would become as installation progressed.

Amazing! As I suspected, the “Fire, Mr. Smee!” Sounds very similar to what you hear above Neverland in Florida to this day. Seems Hook and Smee had more lines to go with it at Disneyland. There is so little to Snow White and it creeps me out all the more. 😧

I agree that bespoke made a difference. I’d go further to say that it worked with what was in fact a varied landscape of musical styles in the past and there’s no reason it couldn’t work with the current Epcot. The Land (rural American folk music) and the Living Seas (moody, atmospheric synth...

Wow! I thought, optimistically, maybe we’d get to Orange in April. Yellow would be phenomenal.

So does a lot of official concept art, for that matter!
