Why is that? To prevent the film from being dated too soon?

After being a 9to5 park for two decades, for a few years DAK was such a delight at the evening. Gorgeous, atmospheric, mysterious, grand and intimate at once. The non-IP tree projection, Pandora in the dark and RoL added so much to the park. RoL was flawed, majorly, but it never rubbed me in...

Yes, Iron Man is great! I am not into Marvel, I'm afraid that whole aspect is a bit lost on me. But for a superhero experience this attraction is surprisingly good. Just plain fun. A bit like the Iron Man movies then, which after a long delay I finally watched one day and which entertained me...

Hong Kong DL has a new-ish terrific Iron Man attraction, using the very ST technology, updated spmewhat. 50 years is a short time in theme parks.

People don't appreciate show. Anticipation followed by pay-off. Immersion, tension, being sucked into a world for a little while. What are they like between the sheets? Or the dinner table? They snatch their steak from the plate while the waiter is still holding it and stuff it whole into their...

Somewhere in the control booth in the top of the Mexican pyramid sits a college kid whispering "okay Alexa, dim the lights..."

That's so odd....I was about to post the exact same question! 😬

The final scene should be brought back to Walt's era. Then it is Walt Disney's century of progress, his personal history intertwined with larger history. A road leading up to his dreams of Progress City, of EPCOT, where American industry can then showcase Pixar Pals and superhero coasters for...

It's bizarre to think the current Imagination's lifespan is at least 1.5 times the original. Yet all nostalgia, love and Figment cult status is based on the original ride. EPCOT, 12 years of being revered, 5 of being vilified and destroyed, followed by half a century of nostalgia and retro.

^^^ All of these!

I adored HK DL. For me the intangibles did it, the feelings WDW once gave you. The quality of the CMs. The quality of the audience, who dress up for a Disney day rather than dress down as in the West. And who are a pleasure to be around, quiet when the setting demands it, joyous where it suits...

Believe it or not, but this will bring me back to WDW! 🤗

^^^ The RoE astronaut looking back at Spaceship Earth With the exception of my DGF (a budding astronaut) and the people I love, and of hearing Bruce Springsteen, I have never seen anything more beautiful in my life than World Showcase during and after RoE. I've seen many of the older shows...

Pretty much my take too. Crystal skull has too many side characters, falls apart near the end and I didn't need aliens in the IJ universe. But there was also fun to be had, the movie is better than it gets credit for. I loved the much maligned refrigerator scene. DoD is slightly better...

I've got no moral objections to betting. By all means put a tenner on your favorite team. But invariably, like alcohol, betting brings about a certain harsh, adult atmosphere that doesn't mix well with Disney.

IoA is great. But personally I'd pick Disneyland over all non-Disney parks on the planet, combined. 😀 YMMV. It's not perfect, and I wish many a creative decision had gone another way, but Disneyland will forever be Walt's park, you just feel it when you walk there.

I visit both Country&Western Disney shows and my local gay pride boat parade. I love both and am utterly baffled anyone should be offended by the entertainment offered by either one. People have gotten so weird nowadays. ☹️

The MK had a really rather great 'AAs singing Disney songs' attraction already. The Mickey Mouse Revue. Bring it back from Tokyo and leave the Bears alone!

I relate to the sudden jump cuts, which don't feel quite right. But still, isn't this better than 'you're flying on an enchanted hanglider lend to you by wizard Biff the somewhat handsome-ish aviator who does have a cool voice though'? When you think about it, Soarin' needs neither explanation...

What's more, why - when you have millions of years to choose from - would you pick two minutes before a catastrophic meteor impact to get that Iguanodon? To say nothing of Iguanodons having been extinct for tens of millions of years already.
