Favorite dark ride is...Harry Potter at IOA. Second favorite is Spider-man. Disney doesn't even get the bronze for me - that goes to Revenge of the Mummy at USO. Sorry. :shrug:

Well, since they just did that update a few years ago...I'd say there won't be any touching up or re-theming anytime soon. It's...alright I guess. Small World-South of the Border. It's a ride in a World Showcase that needs a few more rides, IMHO.

I agree with all of the above. If there would be another park built after Shanghai, I really don't know where it would be. Australia's population is quite small; even though I'm sure a Disneyland-style park would be wildly popular there, I don't know if there would be enough guests through the...

I would guess The Haunted Mansion.

AHEM!!! May I direct your attention to one of my first ever posts, done on 3 October 2010: BOOYAH!!

Dumb move on Disney's part to not do the Tron ride. A ride from a franchise that fits that elusive market Disney can never quite grasp, high school/college age males, would of driven that market to MK much more than it does now.

I actually did the same thing several years ago when I was a WDW CM, so here are my suggestions: I would buy the (not expensive) book, "The Unofficial Guide to Disneyland", which you can get at any bookstore chain. It looks like this. The guide will not only let you know about the slight...

DOUBLE POST!!! As a former Tomorrowland CM, I can tell you why Alien Encounter closed: because at the end of the day, not enough guests went through it. It got so bad word-of-mouth that it was too scary it was quite common to have only one chamber open for the day because there weren't...

It's a long story, here's the Cliff Notes: Yes, originally the alien was the Sigourney Weaver Alien because the Imagineers felt it would save story set-up time since you didn't have to explain what it was; everyone knows the Alien. But other Imagineers thought it would be too scary, so they...

^ this. While I will enjoy seeing all the new interactive things in the parks, I couldn't help but think when I read this in the article, "And why are they doing this? There are two chief complaints at Disney's parks: The crowds are too large and the lines for the rides are too long," BUILD...

No, Disney would build a Marvel Heroes/Disney Villains park on Disney property. Just freethinking; there's too much that would have to happen before something like that would occur.

Eddie, any chance you could share your thoughts with us on a particular topic? There's a bit of a brouhaha going on in the General Discussion forum (I know, can you believe it? On the Internet of all places!) regarding Michael Eisner and his legacy with Disney: General Discussion - Disney...

Here's what I can recall in terms of differences between DL and WDW, hope it helps: - Pirates has already been talked about; DL has the better ride - Space Mountain has been talked about as well; edge to DL - Haunted Mansion in DL is a Southern antebellum mansion. The stretching room is...

I would love to see Fantillusion from Paris come to Orlando, or see an all new night parade. Not holding my breath on that last one.

The costumes are alright. It looks like they're off-shoots of the Mission: SPACE costume; probably to save money.

To succeed in business you need innovation. I certainly don't deny Roy's business acumen nor his role in making The Walt Disney Company into what it was; he was very vital in securing funds and keeping the company afloat during hard times like after WW2. However, take a look at what the...

ElecTRONica is still going on? Amazing! Does anyone know of a date when it's scheduled to end, or is it like a Captain EO thing and once people get tired of it, they'll quietly shuffle it away? Too bad they can't port that over to Tomorrowland as an evening offering; it'd give them a reason...

Agreed. I think Phantom Manor in Paris is much more inline with what the average person would think of when you talk about a "haunted mansion".

I used to be a CM at Stitch, and during busy season yes they use Fastpass. If I remember right, Fastpass for Stitch opens when park attendance is projected above 32,000, though if they need to save some hours Stitch Fastpass is the first position to go down. Speaking for myself, whenever I was...

Unlike Eisner, Wells was very approachable and would listen to concerns from lower Disney management; in contrast, Eisner had (has) a somewhat abrasive personality coupled with a "my way or the highway" attitude. In terms of the parks, Wells took the time to thoroughly understand the business...
