    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    This was a kicked around concept for TL 98 in California. Instead they got an incredibly brief portion of off-road track and some ASIMO figures planted about.

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Disney's ability/commitment to making ride vehicles as accommodating as possible is a huge reason for their success, I believe. I know I visit Universal less often due to my fears of what rides I might not be able to experience. I really wish Universal would wake up. I think they are starting...

    Mine Train also inspired IJA's layout as well as Disney's idea of the concealed queue.

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Because the one thing people say about MK constantly is; its too small. They are taking out things that the majority of guests avoid experiencing directly and replacing it with something that a majority of the guests will want to experience and might even plan their trip to do so. The...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Golden Horseshoe, Hyperion Theatre, Fantasyland Theatre, Dr Strange Magic Show. All of these venues sit empty. A little further back and we can remember when their TSI had a pirate stunt show on the front of the island, giving guests a visual reason to venture over and get closer views of the...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    I can spend several hours wandering around Isle of Berk and enjoying the atmosphere. The kinetic energy of the attractions, the animatronics, the puppetry. Add in a stellar show, a good family coaster, and a pair of fun filler rides and you have a good land. MK's Fantasyland....has a far...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Tron was a decent idea, but based on a pretty dead IP, doesn't fit the land, and is way too short. It also feels way too similar to SM right next door, but in a less charming way. Hall of Presidents is nice enough, but nobody is visiting MK for HoP. Plus, American Adventure blows HoP out of...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    MK may be the most visited, but I've also known it to be one of the most divisive. It is the park I visit the least when heading to Florida as it's just a really discounted version of Disneyland without the key rides that I love at Disneyland (Rise, Indiana Jones, Pinocchio, Casey Jr, Mr Toad...

    I'd say they were a huge success. Some friends of friends worked them and were promoted within the event to creative directors. It was like launching a second HHN, scaled down in terms of crowds as well as themed experiences, but I think the price point was decent and delivered a lot more than...

    DHS New Villains Show Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Summer 2025

    I'd say the old Nemo was the best show I've seen at WDW in ages. Lion King...while it was fun to see 90's California parade floats again, the show was the definition of overrated. This show feels a lot like when my friend was in Paw Patrol Live. Except that had more than one actor onstage...

    DHS New Villains Show Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Summer 2025

    Thank goodness, as the full screen option posted by this site seems to be broken. Although every time you try and click the option, it forces the video to restart and play another ad, so the broken site feature is obviously adding revenue to WDWmagic's pockets.

    Its a pretty standard coaster track over walkways. I appreciate it not being a garish color, but its still just a coaster track over walkways. I'm glad that its not over dirt or a parking lot like Six Flags is known to do, but in the end it is still just a standard coaster track over walkways...

    All things Universal Studios Hollywood

    If they had built something as themed as Taron in Phantasialand, I would be singing Universal's praises. But they didn't. They built a coaster that looks like an exposed coaster while also diminishing the view of the Visitor's Center by having the coaster track go right through that area. I...

    Would you rather pay less for an “Only Disneyland Park” annual pass?

    If the door scene was a giant room we wove throughout, I'd support that. Pinocchio's Pleasure Island seems gigantic as we are in that big room for quite awhile. Even as we head back to the pool hall we are still in that giant sequence. Roger Rabbit's Electric Factory isn't as grand, but the...

    Velocicoaster is a great coaster and an okay theme park attraction. The ride is thinly themed as a coaster through a Jurassic World themed area. I am happy to ride Velocicoaster, but I wasn't especially excited about it's construction. We knew it would be a big unthemed metal track through...

    I'd be more excited it it looked well themed. Instead it looks like a bunch of exposed track on a hillside. It will have a better queue and preshow than a Six Flags coaster, but that's about it.

    Top 5 iconic Disneyland moments.

    Riding Big Thunder or Matterhorn while the fireworks are going is an experience that cannot be oversold.

    Would you rather pay less for an “Only Disneyland Park” annual pass?

    I kind of agree, to a certain extent. I think part of the success of Fantasyland is the idea of a courtyard of small Charmin attractions makes a whole worth more than the dum of their parts. I think it's only of the reason Pooh gets so much hate because it feels lackluster between Tiama's and...
