I feel like bob’s IP obsession for the parks is his version of eisner’s garbage studio parks at the end of his tenure. He started with some really good IP infusion to fix some of these issues (cars land being a stroke of brilliance) but then you look at some of these lazy overlays like Pixar...

With how they do it with the lockers and metal detectors now, I think we should be ok. But I’ll never count out the stupidity of people to not follow the rules and ruin a good thing for everyone

I did some quick google searches which tell me for Disney rides, Everest is about 3.5 min, thunder mountain Florida about the same, space mountain and cosmic rewind just under 3, and seven dwarfs is about 2.5. Rock n roller coaster is roughly 1.5 min of actual coaster time and tron only a...

I forget where I heard this, but if you look at how AK is laid out, most of the big animal trails and exhibits are away from high noise attractions; even Everest is set a bit away from the jungle trek where you can’t hear the coaster really from there. I’m not sure if that would impact their...

I’d be curious how many that is vs folks who are drawn to it because they’ve heard the land itself is incredible. Impossible for us to know, but I’d imagine there is truth to what you say

I’ve said this in other places before, and I will always stand by it; pandora is proof that you can make non-IP things that people will flock to. To your point, how many folks are just visiting “blue alien world” and floored by the land they step into. Modern Disney execs are just blind to the...

I’m hoping for a reptile house type of walkthrough. I’ve seen zoos where they also will have a dark exhibit for nocturnal rainforest critters to live, which would also be a fun addition. Plus neither of these have the kinda overhead that something with larger animals like the tiger or gorilla...

I’m someone who’s excited to see the finished product, but I haven’t really thought about how WEIRD that first ride is gonna be; only comparison is maelstrom to frozen, which I still have yet to do. I guess I kinda do the same kinda thing in the runaway railway queue, trying to figure out where...

I just watched a YouTube video about all the stuff that was announced at D23 and didn’t come to fruition; a good primer to get us in the right mindset for this summer

I will go to my grave saying the most shortsighted thing they did in the last DHS redo was not making the parking lot a garage to account for future expansion

I was thinking this over today, and I can’t see how the river survives unscathed if they do indeed want to loop this around to next to the haunted mansion; there’s nowhere currently to locate the queue to. That cut through from fantasyland near the gift shop is right there, and you can’t go...

Then we still have “Bed” and “Bath” to look forward to 🙃

I think it’ll take time for them to do so if it ever happens. And honestly, so many rides need TLC before mansion gets some; buzz, Peter Pan, carousel of progress, and thunder mountain off the top of my head

If you can’t make your keep in the critter band, that’s the fate you’re destined for

Yeah the color on the word “critter” seems very inspired by the old splash signage. Looks really well done

Haunted mansion hasn’t had a full fledged refurb since 2007, but to your point I’m not sure if it needs it? My only qualm would be putting the hatbox ghost in a better spot, but that’s unlikely to happen at least anytime soon

I’ve been replaying red dead redemption 2, and I’m picturing the pinkerton’s being after Tiana and Co for tax evasion!

I remember seeing concept art from back around the parks conception of them having a second lagoon behind the current WS lagoon for future country pavilions. Which is wild on a lot of levels, chief among them that they thought there’d be that much interest from countries to warrant that expansion

Both of these are fair solutions; I think the former would be more likely since they seem hellbent on keeping the odyssey around as a flex space, and it’d be also kinda weird having Mexico jutting out into world celebration like that

Our go to was always something similar, the issue is we were going when it was still super crowded and hotter than hell, so it was a no win proposition. If you dangle the short waits and being able to take a mid-day nap without the FoMo that goes along with the high crowds, you *may* be able...
