Funny thing about the Main Street Electrical Parade is it's advertised as the apex of Disneyland nostalgia, yet has returned so frequently that there is hardly enough time in the interim to become nostalgic for it.

My white whale of unbuilt attractions planned for DCA was their original take on Tower of Terror. Supposedly they were going to build a variation on the ride themed around the Eagles' song 'Hotel California,' with the attraction being named the same. Unfortunately, I've never been able to find...

I always seem to hear this place is a favorite, but on the odd occasion I go it doesn't do much for me. I'm suspicious I've missed something. What should I be ordering there?

Quoting the post seemed redundant to me as my post directly followed the subject picture. Speaking of subjects, I'm sure there are more interesting things to talk about.

Naturally, comic art can be based on artistic interpretation. Just like a person's sense of humor.

The figure on the cover page you posted doesn't resemble Harrison Ford, which really amused me. It appeared as though Han was being understudied.

"In tonight's performance the part of Han Solo will be played by..."

I visited the Juneau and the glacier this summer on my first trip to Alaska. The Mendenhall glacier was a highlight of the trip and something I'm grateful to have planned because, sorry to say, Juneau did not impress. It was so very touristy, while posters and banners around town denounced the...

Thanks for the video, I miss fiber optics too. The '97 refurbishment of Pirates has gone down as a black spot on the ride's history, but it brought a few things to like. I also enjoyed the fiber optic sign, though I would posit that the effect found an even better use later in the ride. At the...

What I found striking about using the word 'franchise' is not that it's being used by ordinary people. I was taken aback at its usage by the people who are making franchises when addressing those people. This is just my view, but a 'series' suggests a successful story that people would like to...

The other day I was riding the tram to Citywalk and the recorded spiel advertised Universal's Jurassic World ride. It said something to the effect of, "..inspired by the Jurassic World film franchise." Earlier I was reading a movie review and it also used the word "franchise". I'm seeing the...

In terms of improving the land via interactivity I would say Toontown, especially in its early years, is a good template.

For those just tuning in and wondering about the abrupt topic shift on the previous page, here are its genesis posts: Carry on!

Not to worry, neither is Disney.

Years ago the blue rectangle lights were solid colors, but I can't recall when they were altered to have a pulsating effect. I can say it was long after the 2005 refurbishment. The blinking lights on the ship docked at the load have always done so, though their sequencing may be new.

In case it's interesting, that rumor made the rounds in 2013 and gained steam when height balloons were spotted in the backlot area one day.

Personally, I think the 'neighborhoods' approach has a lot to do with it. It was a misstep turning a themed area into a collage of colors and imagery, linked intellectually but not aesthetically.

This is a very astute point, because as charming as the Trolley is it could never quite have the same atmospheric impact as the vintage vehicles on Main Street. You can view them from the train station all the way to the castle. Meanwhile the Trolley takes a hard left shortly after the park...

I liked Room 13 but repetitive is an unfortunately apt descriptor. Last year I also felt like too many mazes, present company included, ended with a giant head. The Cinema Slasher noggin was kind of interesting at least. Speaking of, I find it interesting that two mazes, Cinema Slasher and...

Good spot, which has me wondering if Universal already has a replacement for the Simpsons plaza on deck. I recall you've floated some rumors for that.
