$200 million for a re-theme is wild to me. With that type of budget I wonder if they are re-doing the track/ride-system.

Just left for the day and wanted to share my thoughts. As @hopemax said, ride ops were terrible for the first few hours today. At one point 6 out of 11 rides were temporarily closed. Only 1 ride was available for early entry. That aside, I tried to have a good attitude since I knew the park...

EPCOT has the Mission Space indoor playground, and the new Tropical Americas is rumored to include a play area.

I have to disagree. There is only one attraction at MK that’s not traditionally family friendly due to intensity (TRON); there are zero attractions with tension or conflict-induced stories. If Disney wants the MK to remain relevant beyond families with young children, they need the coaster to...

On the one hand, this makes complete sense, but on the other hand, the board had to have already approved the WDW $17 billion spend (or announcement of such a spending plan). Seems a bit extreme for the board to say “our $17 billion won’t go as far, so let’s only spend $500 million for now.”...

Maybe I’m naive, but I’m still of the opinion that we don’t know how bad things will be economically for a few more months. When Disney slow rolled and cancelled its last slate of parks projects during COVID, at least part of the explanation given was making Disney+ profitable. Money wasn’t...

Wait times at nearly all headliners are inflated before closing time. They generally won’t decrease the posted wait time within the last 30 minutes leading up park close (sometimes longer). This has been going on for several years (yes, even prior to paid FastPass), likely as a way to...

For After Hours at the theme parks, you can grab as much as you want, so I assume it will be the same here. Moonlight Magic may have been different as it’s not an upcharge event.

I just don’t understand how the lift-hill SCREEN of Mama Odie isn’t working… it’s a screen??

I think Bluely could be a short-term show or M&G, but Disney has historically been averse to building a full ride (much less multiple rides) based on a television IP.

I can’t speak to Halloween parties, but when I went to a sold out EPCOT After Hours, everything was a walk-on throughout the night except Guardians, which held steady at a posted 30 minute wait (but actual 15 minute wait in the queue leading up to the pre-show). The draw for After Hours is...

Unfortunately not, it happened so quickly that I didn’t have my phone ready. The attraction went down right when I exited my log so I assume a Cast Member caught it and decided that wasn’t appropriate show. Is it bad that I’m surprised? My expectations with this ride have gotten so low that I...

Just got off the ride this morning: Tiana on a log is completely missing a hand, with robotic pieces and all exposed! And that’s to say nothing of half the figures’ mouths not moving at all…

Is there any justification for TRON not being open for Early Entry, or is it strictly a cost cutting measure? For Tiana’s early closure and not offering it for Extended Evening Hours, they can at least pretend they’re doing maintenance on it

I think the additions of Guardians, Remy, and Journey of Water help offset that a bit. I personally don’t have a problem with it. Anecdotally, I have never witnessed a visibly drunk person at EPCOT… Of course this is obvious, but focusing on food and drinks keeps locals coming back.

Makes sense. Thanks!

Sorry for not following still 😅 Does that mean previous projects have required investors beyond the HK government and TWDC?

When you say “fully funded by HKDL,” does that mean it’s completely funded Disney Parks and Experiences? or are there other private investors that own a stake in HKDL?

What exactly is the issue here? Are they concerned with people pushing past each other?

For me personally it is less about two tracks and more about single-file seating. The smaller cars allow for tighter turns and are fairly unique among coasters. The two tracks in turn provide the capacity that the single-file seating misses.
