    Amazing Photos of Treehouse Villa Demolition

    Holy smokes. I wish I had never seen that. I've been online in various Disney sites since long before Horizons came down, but for some reason had never seen the demo pictures (or I had blocked them out of my mind). That is outright traumatic. Such a beautiful show-building, and these pics...

    Goofy Mystery Tour

    They honored the top 3 teams. It was an Olympic-theme this year, so there were gold, silver, and bronze medals, and bouquets of flowers. I assume the prizes are different based on the theme of the event. They also mentioned that the Goofy Mystery Tour originated from a similar idea from DL...

    Goofy Mystery Tour

    Any CMs out there participate in the Goofy Mystery Tour last night? That was the first one I have ever done, and I have to say it was a blast. The only drawback was the late hour -- I'm feeling it today. For those that don't know, the GMT is a Cast-Only (and their families/friends) event...

    Got it. NOW the ride makes sense. Nothing contrived about that at all. That's a well-reasoned premise right there! No one would ever mistake that for being a flimsy hook for cool 3-D technology. Listen, I know you're a real Disney fan. I LOVE all of the photo updates that you do, seriously...

    I have no idea. Could you possibly be insinuating that I am some other long-ago troll that has changed his identity and snuck back into the wdwmagic forums to torment long-suffering members like yourself? Gosh, I've never heard THAT theory advanced on the internet before! Let me fall over...

    Me, obviously. :) See, you're making it sound cooler than it is. But you and I both know that those things are barely even there. Backgrounds painted on a wall, like an insignificant bookshelf in Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. You are drinking the kool-aid, my man! There is NOTHING in the ride...

    The AA figure is easily the best thing about the attraction, no doubt about that. And I'm in agreement with you that the attraction will be massively, ridiculously popular. I think one of the first things I said in my review is that I predict it will become the most popular ride in the...

    Listen, you're a smart person, you're a fan of Disney, you like TSM, I can totally respect that. But you're playing semantic games and trying to prove a point with metaphysical rules about truth ... ? You may be technically correct that my statement about immersion cannot be empirically...

    I don't mean to keep harping on this (oh, heck, I keep replying, so maybe I do)... I agree with you that whether you find it FUN or not is a matter of opinion. But on the objective level of immersion, opinion doesn't factor in. TSM is literally a dark warehouse with giant tv screens. There...

    DHS Special FX Generator

    Sorry if this question has already been asked, but does anyone know what that "Special FX Generator" thing is that they're creating behind Muppets (next to the overflow queue across from the Backlot Theater)? It's a purple tank that is very Muppet-looking, with eyes, and some kind of...

    I have tried it (twice yesterday) -- and truthfully, so has anybody who has played PotC at DQ. And your description is spot on: A ride-thru virtual shooting gallery. That is NOT D-ticket level. Remember that when Disneyland opened, D-ticket was as high as at went. Throughout the years...

    I think they <b>should</b> expect that. But the reality is that people are no longer being conditioned to have these expectations. You have a whole generation that has grown up on things like Test Track, Rock-n-rollercoaster, Wands and Hats, Bibbity Bobbity Boutiques, Monsters Inc Laugh Floor...

    That's a great quote. Marc said it better than I possibly could. This is what I meant when I said I wasn't referring to plot. TSM has no set of experiences building up to a climax. It is the same experience 5 times in a row. There is no progression, no conflict. It is just a sequence of...

    So today I slipped behind the fence for the first time and took a spin on the new ride -- twice, actually. This post may have some spoilers, but to be honest, if you know the premise already, there's not much to spoil. First things first: I stand by my original predication that this...

    EpcotServo's Jan.26th STUDIOS Update: Stu-Stu-Studios!

    Great photo update. Btw, I saw the "Up" picture today as well. It is DEFINITELY concept art or preliminary story art. The photo in the update is tricking people because it's shrunk down to fit on a computer screen, which makes the art look less rough than it does in person. The poster is...

    Shouldn't Grauman's Theater be the Centerpiece again ?

    There is no legal or monetary issue for the Chinese theater to be blocked by the hat. This is a myth that for some reason has developed a life of its own on the internet. I refer you to the U.S. Copyright Office, which clearly states that buildings built before December 1, 1990 are not subject...

    OKWupdate-pictures of mickey ave

    Great pictures. I had noticed last week that on the building opposite TSM (I think its the GMR show building), they had removed the giant posters that hang on the outside wall. I wasn't sure if they were just swapping posters (which they've done recently in Animation Courtyard), but today over...
