It would have been good if Disney had used the Brer characters more outside Song of the South. Some of the early Mickey cartoons were quite problematic also, but Mickey's identity was never tied to those cartoons that strongly, since he was used so much. Splash Mountain gave the Brer...

Disney is never going to get people to forget Song of the South. If they had quietly released the film on home video in the US, it would likely be mostly forgotten by the general public like most of Disney's late 40s output. However, all they have done is continue to draw attention to it and...

I might have missed something in this thread, but is there a reason that Knott's continues to require reservations? Is it just to save on staffing costs? Also, how have the lines been at the park lately? Knott's is a nice park, but the horrendous and slow moving lines made it my least visited...

I haven't been on it yet, but from videos, I think this Web Slingers ride is absolutely pathetic. Universal was able to create an amazing ride out of The Secret Life of Pets, but Disney completely drops the ball with the biggest film franchise of all time (the MCU) with one of their laziest...

The only reason the re-theme is happening is because of the Tiana series coming to Disney+. If it wasn't for Chapek trying to tie everything into new movies and Disney+ series, the retheme wouldn't have even been in development. Disney just decided to take advantage of Black Lives Matter (a...

I agree that a Cosmic themed land doesn't fit in DCA, but neither does Mission: Breakout's exterior. So at this point, I am more concerned with the individual quality of each land and attraction in DCA since they seemed to have mostly abandoned the overall theme of the park. I have been on...

I think the biggest movie franchise in history deserves more than what it is getting. What will really determine if the land is good or not for me is if we ever get that Avengers E-Ticket. I am doubtful that will happen in the next 5-10 years. Spider-Man deserves something far better than...

I haven't left the house for fun since March, so I am starting to seriously consider this. It appeals to me a lot more than the Knott's food events.

Nothing better proves how bored people are in 2020 than them being willing to get up early and wait for hours to get into a very small part of DCA that won't have any rides open.

At this point, we just need a separate thread to chronicle the updates that are directly about the opening of theme parks and what is directly affecting them.

I don't think anyone was ever like "I don't feel welcome at this place because of the log ride about the rabbit."

Just after we got our hopes up that this would be cancelled, we got some really bad news today...

I agree, it is actually pretty cool the more I think about it. At least Magic Mountain found a way to give a more unique experience then just having the park open without any rides operating.

People are so bored at this point in 2020, that they will wait in an hour plus line to go into Downtown Disney. Compared to Downtown Disney, driving through Magic Mountain with the Holiday lights seems exciting. That is how low 2020 has set the bar for excitement.

You have heard of drive thru haunts, now Magic Mountain is introducing drive thru roller coasters.

There is a lot of stuff that breaks and AAs go missing from time to time. However, the good thing is that Splash Mountain has so much stuff going on throughout the ride, that it isn't a big deal when an AA here or there is broken or missing. Even if half the AAs were broken, the ride would...

Over the last 5 years, it literally changed week to week on what was and wasn't working inside Splash Mountain. Once they finally got something fixed, something else would break, and that would take weeks or months to fix, and then the other thing that was fixed would be broken again. I don't...

I just don't think modern Disney could ever create an attraction as good as Splash Mountain. Something like Rise might be good now, but I highly doubt it will hold up to be a timeless classic in 10 or 20 years. Splash is timeless and would stay a great ride till the end of time.

I remember the announcement said they hadn't even done 3D scans of Splash Mountain yet for development of Frog Mountain. I really feel like there is a possibility that they might do more work on the overlay, then find out that it is completely impractical to do because of how the ride was...

That sounds like a major improvement. It got boring using some of the same premade blueprints again and again in the PC version.
