    News Avatar Experience coming to Disneyland Resort

    I want something that will stand proudly next to Rise Of The Resistance and become a marquee attraction for the resort.

    News Disneyland to give Tarzan’s Treehouse a new theme

    Well, in all honesty, they were more conscientious about maintenance back then.

    News Avatar Experience coming to Disneyland Resort

    To reiterate, everything you say aligns with what I’ve seen of the land. That said, it does not appear to me to be a keen representation of the planet from the film, which is what I was hoping for.

    News Avatar Experience coming to Disneyland Resort

    This is what it all comes down to really. Here, I think they were a little too preoccupied with their floating mountain to the point that details I would have expected were dismissed. I'm glad that we can anticipate another approach to whatever is in the works for California.

    News Avatar Experience coming to Disneyland Resort

    I see what you mean when comparing something like World Of Avatar to Avengers Campus. However, you bring up the parameter of realistic comparisons and Zootopia land. I believe there is a relevant connection between the two. While neither of us want to see Zootopia here, I think it works as a...

    News Avatar Experience coming to Disneyland Resort

    "The devil you know.." point of view is completely understandable. My perspective is a little bit off center here. I've never been to Animal Kingdom so my only exposure to World Of Avatar is via media. While it may be very impressive in person, frankly it does not remind me of the planet in the...

    News Avatar Experience coming to Disneyland Resort

    That is the meaning I took from the post as well. However, even if I'm wrong it's encouraging to hear that whatever we're getting is not a carbon copy from Florida.

    DisneylandForward

    About Tomorrowland, while I agree it is certainly in need of sprucing up, I feel a little trepidation about it with a new Tron movie in production. The temptation to add the namesake coaster to Disneyland is probably strong, but ill advised. I would not oppose a Tron attraction, the series is a...

    BTMRR’s final lift TNT effect has been shut off intentionally

    You're correct, it isn't actually real. Just clever projection mapping onto pressurized jets of fog. That being said, it's one of the most convincing special effects I've ever seen and I wouldn't mind if it appeared elsewhere in the future.

    Star Tours hinted to receive new scenes at Star Wars Celebration

    I'm just sitting here hoping it doesn't take two decades for them to update Smuggler's Run. The additions made to Star Tours: The Adventure's Continue since its opening are perhaps the only active example of a screen based ride's potential.

    News Avatar Experience coming to Disneyland Resort

    I found this intriguing too, but wonder if this confirms the land going onto existing property.

    News Avatar Experience coming to Disneyland Resort

    I'm still advocating that an Avatar area should be reimagined as an entirely indoor land. Foliage, sound, scent and most importantly light could all be controlled. I'd rather visit a Pandora that was in a permanent evening state.

    BTMRR’s final lift TNT effect has been shut off intentionally

    Disappointing, but I'm at least appreciative to know the situation now. The ride lost the rumbling rocks, now this; the tunnel just might be cursed after all! I'm really sorry to see this effect go because it was a spectacular conclusion, following a parade of underwhelming variations on the...

    Spiderman Ride Layout

    I have a hunch that a lot of those commenters are just young enough that Bug's Land featured in their childhood. At my age it was just a pleasant looking throughfare with a nifty 3D show, featuring the only true animatronic in the park for years. I imagine we'd hear a different tune if they'd...

    The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

    From the look of things it's a classy way to do it too. While it's too soon to evaluate the rides, I really like the use of space and placement choices here. Only nitpick I have is that the hotel seems a bit incongruent.

    News New Haunted Mansion Grounds Expansion, Retail Shop Coming to Disneyland Resort in 2024

    Or at very least turf that actually resembles the real thing!

    The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

    For what it's worth, to me Tower of Terror was kind of a watershed moment for the park. It seemed like the first true acknowledgement from Disney that they had undercooked their second gate and were taking its recovery seriously.

    DisneylandForward

    Likewise. While I don't want the land, one thing I hope that translates from it to whatever they build for Disneyland Forward is the kinetic visual interest that saturates the area. It's easy to imagine that we will get Arendelle and while I think the land looks handsome enough, it appears to me...

    Is The 2020's Disneyland Resort's Lost Decade???

    Still have my fingers crossed that we'll see movement on that one as soon as Disneysea's Peter Pan opens.

    Tiana's Bayou Adventure: Disneyland Watch & Discussion

    It's fair to say that if this is Tiana's Disney+ show look they are counting their chickens before they hatch. I do think it makes sense looking from Disney's viewpoint. The movie, as we've discussed at length here, was not a box office hit. As a result it appears that they are reinventing the...
