I don't get why people are suggesting the spider bot animatronic would be a part of the puppeteers union. It's a figure on the outside of a building that moves around a little. Dok Ondar isn't controlled by a puppeteer, we have no reason to believe this spider bot would be

I think this works great for Tokyo where something being mostly just cute, charming, and potentially repetitive aren’t as big of issues. The average scene length here is crazy long compared to the other trackless rides and that’s why the pacing feels so sluggish. There are basically 4 scenes...

I think the latest big Tomorrowland plans did include the peoplemover. One of the biggest rumored items was getting a larger custom version of Tron that used sections or maybe all of the PM track layout but actually modifying the layout for the speed correctly this time

Over on the sequel thread, TheVisionarySoul posted this mega rumor drop of alleged projects and cancellations that was potentially endorsed by some of our trusted insiders. I wanted to start a thread to focus on the Cali side of these rumors since the other thread is mostly sticking to WDW...

So when we say "all still happening" are we talking Avengers E ticket or just phase 1? I'm really hoping we can still get the Quinjet attraction especially since it'll find it's way to some global parks as well eventually

Very excited for this one. It's supposed to soft open this year but it's unclear how much will actually be open

I’m not criticizing the choice to have AI play for absent players, that’s basically the only workable option. I’m just interested in seeing an all AI controlled game because it would answer a lot of interesting questions. For example, would they score a perfect run or is the AI programmed to...

In the videos I’ve seen like this, they log in and then just hit no buttons. I mean a run where all 6 players don’t even log in and the AI plays every position.

It's almost like despite all the effort into making the ride interactive, it's barely interactive....

I've wondered this for a while but haven't gotten to test it myself yet. What happens if no riders press the button to log in? It would be interesting to see how it plays out with all stations automated

No insider information just cobbling together different rumors and such. We're welcomed to the Xandarian outpost and they teach us about how their technology has allowed for a green/energy sustainable society. A field trip is arranged for us to visit Xandar and see their progress first hand. We...

Would weather have involved a clone of StormRider from DisneySea?? Would have worked on the body wars simulators

Totally agreed. Even though the clones of rides are still shockingly expensive, it makes it just that much harder for the project to drop off the radar

Extra tidbit I just remembered, I feel like going way back the "avengers coaster" was always discussed as a Captain America focused attraction moreso than all the Avengers

Interesting! I would have guessed the simulators would be DCA and Paris with Hong Kong getting the coaster because Paris already has the iron man RNRC overlay

I think he means that Hong Kong could be getting a different Avengers attraction than DCA that uses a coaster system

I had seen this video before but it's cool to revisit it knowing how this tech became comsic rewind. You can totally see the same controlled rotation base that both cars share! I'm so excited for F.L.Y Sadly I don't think Avengers is a coaster anymore. It was at one point but now it seems like...

Wow from Vekoma's own website: "On this really unique ride, riders are comfortably and safely harnessed in a prone position. Riders start in a sit-down position and are transported sideways to a dark ride section. They are immersed in a story to save the world using their flying super powers...

I’d bet good money “the different one” was a flying coaster. Vekoma, manufacturer of cosmic rewind and most Disney coasters, has been working on new launched flying coaster models like the hopefully opening soon F.L.Y at phantasiland. Huge potential for storytelling and easy to theme as some...

I'd say Scott's assessment is pretty accurate. On the technology front I would say they really did accomplish pretty much everything. Creating a ride that has 8 (I think it's 8?) pods on a carousel each running a real time game and motion simulator platform with solid and durable controls that...
