    Adventurland Veranda Open!

    I was able to get pictures during Christmas week. They're up on parkeology.com, if you're interested in what it looks like :) http://www.parkeology.com/2009/12/adventureland-veranda-uncovered.html

    Tip Marvel Iceberg Expands (Marvel At WOD)

    I can't wait until we start having Marvel Weekends at DHS. How awesome would that be?? Okay, obviously can't happen because of the Universal thing, but stealing the Star Wars Weekend format would be fantastic.

    Tour buses collide at EPCOT toll plaza..

    Agreed, that almost looks like the bus driver didn't even bother trying to hit the brakes. I know last year's monorail accident was pretty notorious, but I have to believe that expanding the monorail is the best solution for reducing accidents, improving throughput, running on time, saving on...

    Rank your top 10 rides at Magic Kingdom

    The best part about this list? Only Disney fans can understand any of it. And even still I had to think about what MP was. :ROFLOL:

    Magic Carpets of Aladdin Rumor.

    I'm a little confused by the logic in saying that Disney has nothing to do with TDL, yet it provides the Imagineers and gets a large licensing fee. It is correct that OLC owns and operates the park, but the creative force behind it is Disney (along with the sort of give-and-take that goes with...

    Magic Carpets of Aladdin Rumor.

    This would be awesome news for Magic Kingdom, but bad news for Tokyo. The carpets are an Adventureland eyesore, and I always associate them with the dark days of Disney theme parks, along with Dinorama. By the way, why is the Tokyo attraction going to be called Jasmine's Magic Carpets...

    Swiss Family Robinson Remake

    The news of a remake starts my blood pressure to pounding (angrily), as the original Swiss Family Robinson is one of my Top 5 movies of all time, and the MK Treehouse is an overlooked gem of an attraction. It is hard to top the high adventure of the original movie. Aside from Kevin Corcoran...

    TRON Lightcycle Overlay coming to WDW Monorails

    I love it. This is the best monorail wrap so far. For some reason, I don't consider this to be a thematic nightmare, like the Castle cake. The castle has a story and a time and a place, and I hated when they messed with it. The monorails are just public transportation, and it's just a...

    Disney Night Kingdom

    Enhancements to Animal Kingdom. I have no idea of the context (separate admission, day vs. night, all of AK or just Africa?)

    Disney Night Kingdom

    Don't be too quick to write this idea off as dead. It may not be the exact "Night Kingdom" concept that Jim Hill mentioned a couple years ago, but some of the signature elements were still being considered as recently as three weeks ago.

    Neat article on the construction of WDW in 1971

    Excellent find! Hmmm... 35,000 employees on opening day. The number of hotels has doubled, doubled, and doubled again. Number of parks quadrupled. Two water parks, a shopping village 3 times the size of the original, massive transportation infrastructure, multiple new golf courses, an...

    New model photos of FL expansion posted

    Anyone else notice that one Dumbo is clockwise, and the other is counter-clockwise? Ambidextrous flying elephants!

    Walls up around 'The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh'

    You know what? Good for them! This is the very definition of taking a negative and turning it into a positive. The playground is pretty uninteresting as playgrounds go (HISTK at the Studios puts it to shame). The tree itself is well done, but it's currently the centerpiece of a thematic...

    E:E Rumor

    Forget the yeti. Just fix that static hawk/eagle/vulture thing at the top. I miss him...

    It's Joe Rohde's World...

    ... and we're just living in it. This is too funny not to share. A friend of mine dug up an old video from back when AK first opened, and we posted it over on parkeology.com. Basically, somebody gets caught with their pants down, and Joe Rohde is involved! Oh, the scandal... I guess...

    Mickey's Toontown Fair Closing

    Thanks for that. Now it's stuck in my head and won't leave.

    What is your opinion individually on Roy Disney, Roy Disney Jr. and Michael Eisner?

    Completely agree. The Katz was HUGE, and he and Eisner could practically do no wrong up until the late 90s. Roy E. saved the company twice, so he deserves all the credit he gets as well. But I can't believe how unappreciated Roy O. is in this thread. That dude was a genius, almost on the...

    Ellen's Energy Adventure The Big Bang!

    So true. The main flaw there is not that the middle section is necessarily BAD (Ellen does get some funny lines). It's just that it follows the piece de resistance of the attraction, the dinosaurs. Let's face it, that's the biggest draw of the show, and once they're over, you still have...

    Journey into HIS imagination (Tony Baxter D23 member chat!)

    I'd like to know more about how he Imagineered his own house. I saw an article once a long time ago that had some very cool shots of his house, and I wish I still had those pics. Anybody know if they exist online?

    Hint at a Tron presence in the parks

    A "Tron Arcade" was listed as coming to Communicore back when EPCOT first opened, but it never materialized. Maybe they'll bring it back!
