    Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    I think this upcoming TT 3.0 (and 2.0) is proof that sponsors can still work, though it could be an anomaly. But if Imagination got a new sponsor after Kodak left perhaps we would have had a new version of the ride 10 years ago (2010 was not a time when companies wanted to give free money to...

    Jim Korkis (Disney Historian, Writer, and former Imagineer) has passed away.

    He seemed to be a great man, I have loved hearing his insights and stories on podcasts and through articles for over a decade. I will have to read his books. Prayers for his family and friends.

    News Hatbox Ghost coming to Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion

    Well that's another reason to add to the list of a thousands reasons to make a trip out to TDR.

    News Hatbox Ghost coming to Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion

    We do see a shadow of the ghostly piano player well before Leota invites the spirits to materialize. I guess that doesn't count as a full ghost though. I think the placement is bad and I hope they rethink this. The graveyard makes much more sense if you're going to place him anywhere else but...

    News Upgrades coming to EPCOT parking lot

    I would just like to ride a tram, Mr. Iger

    News Tomorrowland love

    I’m curious if this is a complaint with the Tokyo Tomorrowland. I know that park still has their large waterfall spires

    News Tomorrowland love

    Yeah I don't think Monsters is bad either. It doesn't fit well with Tomorrowland but I don't think that really matters. I'd just like to see it moved to a Monsters land in DHS with the long rumored Door coaster. But the odds of that ever happening are very slim to none.

    News Tomorrowland love

    I like Mission Space alright, it is just a worse attraction compared to what was in its place before. A similar problem happened with Stitch. Alien Encounter was definitely the better attraction story wise. But it wasn’t popular with the average guest just like Horizons towards the end of its...

    RnRc Retheme?

    I've been thinking for years, before Hagrid's was even a thing, that they should tear down Indiana Jones, convert backlot express into a Indy QS, and make a Motorcycle coaster based on the chase scene in The Last Crusade. That or a inclosed Temple of Doom mine train. But I like your idea more...

    The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh vs Under the Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid

    I love the Mermaid queue, it feels like you're in another place and it is one the best parts of New Fantasyland for me, but the attraction itself is lacking, aside from the Ursula animatronic. It's not horrible, but not great either. It ends too abruptly and would be better as a boat ride like...

    Dinosaur has seen better days

    I agree with you. I have been a huge Dinosaur fan (the attraction, not the film), but probably because it feels so unlike what Disney would make today and unique. I rode it a few months ago again, perhaps for the last time, and thought.. okay this is clearly dated and I can see it needs a lot of...

    The World's Most Magical Celebration - Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary

    No one talks about the changes made to the castle over the years, perhaps because they're so subtle. But notice how there's a few different shades of gray in the portion above the "stonework." In 2006 after the Happiest Celebration on Earth concluded, they made that bottom portion warm and rosy...

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    I really want to ride with September.

    Window dedicated to Bob Weis installed in Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Very fitting since he was so integral to the creation of DHS!

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    I rode the ride for the first time in February. I was lucky to get two rides in one day actually with LL and virtual queue. The first time we got Disco Inferno, I thought it was a fun time, but perhaps a tad bit overhyped by my friends who were with me. But the second time we got Everybody Wants...

    The World's Most Magical Celebration - Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary

    I think eventually the castle will eventually return to its original color scheme, even if it takes a while. Look at the hat at MGM and the wand icon tower at Epcot, they definitely overstayed their welcome, but they were eventually removed. Though this may just be wishful thinking on my end…
