Agreed. It's still a fun attraction but feels dated, now. It hasn't aged in current form to seem "timeless" as much as stuck in time. Rumor is it's going for something theme/IP that'll take over this entire part of the park which seems a shame if so because IMHO, this just needs a well thought...

And importantly, there is no LL interfering with that one. I recall a period when the "line" for this usually started at the treadmill and it's been a long time since I've seen it like that. Part of that is of course Disney's modern strategy of crowding the parks but this is one instance where...

The spin was what was the rewording of my original statement. Yes, sharing the concept art is part of the problem. They're selling that reveal at D23. Either way, they're in control. They are the ones setting the expectations. They are the ones failing to live up to them. It isn't like this...

They really just need to get better at projecting costs so they design more within the scope of reality from the start. A more realistic approach up front might even result in them making better decisions on initial design up front so they rethink costly options that might not add as much to...

You mean like the access to concept material for Cars? Like I said, over-promising and under-delivering.

The question is, when was the last time Disney shocked us by something being more/better than explicitly announced? Remember Galaxy's edge - the "biggest park expansion" in Disney's history? Remember those animatornics everyone was expecting in the Cosmic Rewind preshow thanks to concept art...

Yes, Spaceship Earth, as it exists today was at one time a walk-on for the majority of hours Epcot was open and by that I mean you literally walked up the ramp and straight onto the turntable. They changed nothing in the attraction itself to get us to the common standby lines we now have. If...

And remember, MsterPenguin is commonly accused of being our resident pixeduster saying all of this. Whether you agree with their decision to do this or not, there is no reason to make up excuses for their choices.

Yeah, there was a boom in adoption when they started to offer it. I honestly think that was the beginning of their "issue" with AP holders. The price barrier of paying up front for multiple passes for a family visiting locally naturally limited the number of FL purchases. It was after that...

There's also that "blessing of size" quote about Florida. Dig around and you can make some out-of-context quote from him agree with just about any argument but the point stands that in DL where they don't have the "blessing of size", they've managed to keep ROA and still have a considerably...

Hopefully with better uptime than that outside part of Kong, though. 😳

I assume that now-deleted message was their brilliant response to me? This feels like we're talking to a ten year old but this account's been around since 2019 so unless they've logged on to a parent's account... man, I just don't know.

So if they were to replace Haunted Mansion with a different attraction, you'd call that an "expansion"? Personally, I'd call that a replacement as would, I think, most people with a command of the English language and certainly anyone returning to the parks who headed back there to experience...

I think Tiki benefits from being a relatively small attraction occupying a relatively small space. The only two things I could really see them replacing it with are retail or backstage space. Even if they were to shoehorn a small Moana attraction in there, the IP popularity would create...

Especially since it appears that nearly all of the "new" Monster's land, save for the ride itself, will be nothing but a reskinning of what's already there. The land itself is no expansion at all. I guess it'll look like something new to most people since they're tearing down something in the...

You used to be able to walk right in. My guess is crowd volume, like everywhere else in the park, eventually became too much of a problem with this setup.

Are we talking about COVID or the measles? Wonder if Bob is in his office out in Cali right now eyeing the big shiny eject button at his desk again.

So a purely retail location, not Coke specific and with nothing being added or modified is now being "sponsored by Coca Cola"? Wonder if we'll start seeing Targets and McD's stores updating their roadway signage to represent "sponsors" in the future, too.

Appears to be out of print but it looks like Amazon may have a few used copies - I'll try to check it out. Again, thank you. :)

Thank you. That's the first reference to actual construction timelines I've ever seen when it comes to AK. I appreciate the effort on that and I'll shut up now. (well, about this, anyway :) )
