You cannot swap the stations without reversing the direction, as otherwise you have a full Monorail carriage arriving at the load station, so there isn't space for anybody to board. Swapping Epcot around means doing the same at the other end of the line too... It wouldn't work.

Presumably most of that mud will become paved entrance plaza, tripling the area after bag checks in front of the gates? That looks like a good improvement easing guest flow in and out. Any chance they will move the gates forward to give the parks opening plaza a little more elbow room? It is...

No they don't. The gondolas do not need to be evenly spaced. If an ECV load at the mid station needs the gondola to stay in the station a little longer, there will be a wider than normal gap in front betwen the slow gondola. Other gondola cars will stack up behind it, and also take longer to...

I am fairly sure that crown is currently on the shoulders of the Studio park in Paris. It is in the early stages of a DCA scale rebuild though, so its future looks much better than its history.

My mistake... but it should have been 😉

I always liked the original idea of the Studios; opening up Disney's production facilities to the masses. It was a great idea... but the company didn't pull it off, at least not over the long term. There is no realistic path back to that from where Disney is these days, so they are finally...

Disney are just making a point that commercial operators should be dealing with the company on commercial arrangements. Getting a discount potentially allows ebay traders to undercut Disney and their partners: and it harms the image of Disney. How long would Disney let somebody stand by a quick...

Is there no option to run the trains in reverse, back and forth around the unaffected track? Maybe the driver view is impractical, or probably the signalling only supports clockwise operation?

No he isn't. There are at least 3 others https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1196732/ ;-)

The Riviera work only affects the Epcot line. Surely they will still have an option to open the DHS route in isolation. The majority of the CBR to DHS studios traffic would be there, Echo lake would only have 50% of the traffic without Epcot... but that is still a decent amount of traffic with...

The Christmas events will be on at the moment. Mickeys Big Band gets great reports in the Studios, as does the parade in the Magic Kingdom. You can see an entertainment schedule here: http://www.dlpguide.com/calendar/daily-park-schedules/ Space Mountain and Big Thunder mountain are both...

AC/DC is presumably the key to it. Meet Tony Star at his HQ, Iron Man is needed to fix something, off you go with Back in Black etc. blasting out

Branded ear plug sales could almost fund that ride!

You can't associate gondolas and Fall... it has to bounce in for Spring. I am taking that announcement with a pinch of salt. You don't invest that sort of capital, mothball it and then open it days before the busiest period of utilisation. If it has initial teething issues, 6 months gives...

My money is on them peeling the wraps on that cladding to reveal the worlds largest Stars and Stripes. It would be so preposterous it would completely blend in.

The entertainment world seems to have steadily pushed out windows; with concerts often being booked 12 months in advance these days. Its a reflection of supply and demand, where you either fall in line or miss out. The current cutbacks are a reflection on that, they see a drop in demand and...

Better get Mack in if that was the plan. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurosat_-_CanCan_Coaster

I think they should just make a new movie for MV3D, with a mash up of Muppets and Star Wars. Kermit as Luke Swampwalker, Princess Piggy, Fozzbacca, Darth Gonzo etc. It would be hugely popular at the entrance to SWGE and the merchandise would sell itself.

Are there any plans to redesign the entrance itself, using the all that rezoned space they will have between the ticket booths and the buses? A bit of an expansion of Hollywood Boulevard would help guest flow; especially larger bathrooms. They could build new ticket booths and security checks...

The head clearance would need to cover kid on tall dads shoulders, and stupid vlogger on mates shoulders trying to hit the cabins. Doubtless it will do both. What isn't clear is if there is enough room to stage the queue at park close, whilst letting everyone walking get past.
