Agreed. Nothing wrong with the IP, but that area looks very shabby. The attractions are also pretty awful IMO, Cat in the Hat almost comically so. To me it's the perfect example of a themed area only children can enjoy, as opposed to an area like Storybook Circus that was made with children in...

I strongly prefer WDW over Universal but I wouldn't go that far. I think Universal has been gaining ground on Disney, and EU will be extremely competitive in the theming department. UO has some pretty impressive queues as well - not just newer examples like Hogwarts/Gringotts but ET, Men in...

Wait, missing tracks? Will this be something similar to the devil's snare scene on Hagrid's where the track drops out from under you?

That's what I'm hoping! Wasn't Nintendo initially rumored to replace Toon Lagoon before the plans for EU were finalized? That area in particular seems like a shoe-in for a retheme.

IOA is great (definitely preferable to UO in terms of theming, at least for me) but lacks the timelessness of MK. Port of Entry, Lost Continent, Hogwarts/Hogsmeade and Jurassic Park are all beautifully themed and will stand the test of time, but I cringe a bit every time I walk through Seuss...

It could work there but the premise and show scenes would need some tweaking. Still think it would be a great fit for Animation Courtyard since the premise of the attraction is that you're entering the cartoon world. Definitely makes much more sense in Disneyland's Toontown than it does in the...

Here's hoping. I think Animation Courtyard is one of the worst eyesores at a WDW park right now. Still so disappointing to me they didn't put MMRR in Animation Courtyard and convert Launch Bay back into Animation Academy. It would give the area some much-needed thematic coherence & would be a...

If true, this would break my heart a little

Anyway putting aside whether Disney "would" continue the Pirates franchise or not, does anyone actually want them to...? I thought most audiences were in agreement those movies haven't been enjoyable since At World's End (and arguably even Dead Man's Chest, depending on your level of tolerance)...

Yeah, as a FL resident I pay a little more than $15 a month for my Universal AP. I don’t go often but it’s so cheap the cost is basically negligible. The blockouts on the lowest tier are extremely reasonable (usually all of Dec., a few weeks for Spring break and all of July) compared with the...

Fair enough! Like I said, I would love to see reimagined/"next generation" versions of some of these attractions (similar to how Horizons was considered a spiritual successor to SE) come to the parks utilizing modern technology. Yeah, this is totally subjective and I do understand why people...

I think this assumes what most of want is to restore previous attractions without modernizing them in any way, when that isn't necessarily the case. My present issues with WDW have more to do with a lack of entertainment, a lack of balance between IP-based and original rides, and TDO's...

We spoke to a scare actor yesterday (we were @ Springs where she's also a third party CM) and mentioned we were surprised by how slowly the announcements are rolling out this year. She said to her knowledge at least three IPs had pulled out and Uni has been scrambling to replace them with...

Adding onto this, does Disney typically release the exact speed of their rollercoasters or are all the numbers floating around the internet based on assumption or rough calculations? Clearly the Cosmic Rewind specs haven't been released yet since there's a lot of guesswork going on about the...

Oh wow, 25mph? Then I'm guessing the Wikipedia claim that the average speed is 60mph is way off. If that's the case, I think I would probably be fine, since EE and Mummy are mild to moderate intensity for me. Your logic regarding the launch also makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the input, this...

Thanks everyone! We'll be at Epcot this Friday so maybe I'll be brave enough to give it a shot. I wish the Wiki would update with the acceleration speed, since seeing numbers usually calms me a lot!

Do we think it would be possible to build a New Orleans mini-land around the attraction? I'm familiar with Frontierland backstage and I'm having a hard time believing they could stand to sacrifice any of that area, since a) It's where the runoff from Splash is located and b) It's where the...

Another show I avoid, unfortunately.

Yeah, I remember hearing at the time some of the execs weren't happy with the final product because the rose gold was much more intense than expected, but not sure how true that is. I assumed it was Iger who was dissatisfied but I could be wrong.

I'd be fine with this (100% preferable to the rose gold) but I would really love to see the castle painted white or even an extremely pale blue.
