I rode Mater's back in 2013. My DW and I got a thrill from it, and it made for a fun video of ourselves. I'd say we like it more than Luigi's bumper tires ride, when it was open then. I'd try the ride out, but not sure it would get a repeat visit during the same vacation.

Disney has now beat Universal to the punch and brought Nintendo's SMB to their parks! :D

The photos taken of the floating mountains... kinda reminds me of the Green turtle (Koopa Troopa for you 80's game nerds) from Super Mario Bros games.... The highest peak looks like the Koopa troopa's head and it appears to have facial features. Sorry Disney/Cameron that the laws of...

I did pay attention... a. Teflon doesn't last forever but hopefully longer than a Sun-setter Awning. b. There is nothing in the documentation that says how long the fabric can last in certain elements. Sure it has a heat rating, but it is more cost efficient than a hard-cover top for the PH dome?

Fabric coating for the roof of the dome??? :cautious: How will it hold up to the extreme weather conditions and how long will it last before replacement becomes necessary?? Is it easier/cheaper to replace the fabric than to re-paint the roof? I thought the roof was going to be assembled...

You really don't want that park shut down... you want it open even with the limited attractions... else you'll see the wait times in every other park affected significantly.

"When complete in September 2016, the new look restaurant will take design cues from a turn-of-the-century observatory, and the four story building will also feature a new outdoor terrace and bar called Stargazers." Any takers out there that this will be completed in time for their...

There are an uncountable number of brides & couples that will disagree with you... have you not seen Bridezillas?

"The speed of service and capacity makes Blaze an even more attractive option, and we think Blaze is likely to unseat the Earl of Sandwich as the king of Disney Springs quick service dining." This is excellent news!! Reduced wait time to get a delicious Holiday Sandwich or The Full Monty...

Not wanting to be johnny raincloud.... but with all of these upscale stores... I wonder if in 6-12 months there are going to be some vacancies of stores that can't cut it.

Zootopia has done marvelously at the box office.... but I wouldn't want to set a standard of putting every box office success into a permanent fixture in the theme parks. Sure bring some characters in and maybe some signage overlays here and there.... but green-lighting a major capital expense...

Maelstrom, in the mid 2000's, if my memory serves, had standby waits ranging from 40-70 min during the average attendance seasons. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

But that level of pandering is very profitable for a company that is starting to see attendance wane. The BOD will argue they need every ounce of liquid generated profits to prop up the quarterly reporting.

Load/unload is right next to each other.... unlike Maelstrom where you are dropped off in one room and the boat travels further down the flume to pick up the next group. So the ride is longer because you sit in the boat longer, even though the track is the same.

I would think the bottleneck is the scene timing and dispatch intervals. Each scene appears to be synced up with the passing of a single boat, as opposed to Pirates and IASM where the AAs have lines and movements that are short and repeat in sequence without a need to perform for an individual...

Well said!

That polar bear was always missing something...... holding/drinking a bottle of Coca-Cola in one hand and waiving as you passed by.

Nothing really hot about a 1980s 2D mural painting of a Norwegian Cruise line blonde.

Don't give Trump any new ideas for wall projects.
