    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    Disney’s Primeval World was part of Ford’s pavilion, not GM. GM had a Futurama ride based on a similar attraction GM showcased at the 1939 fair. :)

    MK Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    This is what I keep coming back to, it seems the majority of the issues could still be rectified with modest prop additions and set tweaks like what happened to the mermaid rides after their opening.

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    A “special event” appears to be happening at Communicore Hall this morning.

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    Huh? I don't see how what I wrote is countered by any of this. I'm an architect, I'm painfully aware plans change all the time. Just reacting to an insider's post on slow Monday night. :)

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    Skipping DHS expansion seems like the worst decision they could make. That park desperately needs 2-3 more people-eating all-age-friendly rides. I was in the park last week & it was pretty unpleasant wait-time-wise, especially when something went down. Millenium Falcon was over 110 minutes at...

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    It’s tough to be a Bug and GMR would like a word about the wait times of icon attractions.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    There’s a lot declarative statements in here with no proof to back them up other than “see what Disney did”. That’s not a smoking gun. I could conversely argue that SSE’s consistent 15-30 minute waits mean guests do enjoy learning. Or that Test Track consistently has one of the longest waits in...

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    No worries and I recognize only a subset will be bothered by it. This is the kind of stuff we pick apart every day at my firm. Lol. I still think there’s better ways to execute those two items than they did here, but I’m not losing sleep over it.

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    I literally said I’m talking about the gate and AV towers, not the walls.: I understand the concept of the main structure’s walls. It’s not particularly mysterious. Look at the gate installed. The triangle is getting cut off arbitrarily from the edge of the gate. It’s the same thing with the...

    EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    Tangential to the DVC lounge, what exactly is the old Kodak lounge being used for? Cast Breakroom?

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    What is it with this project and misaligned triangles? First the A/V towers for the concert area and now the gate. Somebody should introduce the designers to the align & scale tools in Revit.

    The Highest of Highs! - What is the pinnacle attraction of Imagineering at WDW past and present?

    Of the list given: RotR, Horizons,JII If HM was an option it’d be in my top three, though I’m not sure which choice I’d replace. Honorable mentions to SSE, Kilimanjaro Safaris, and WOM.

    EPCOT EPCOT Parking Plaza refurbishment?

    That’s….not how any of that works.

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Typically on a site amenity project like this, outside of the actual new structure, the earthwork to regrade the area & utility construction costs are going to eat a lot of budget. Even more so than custom cast stone wall finish, a new statue or the visible light fixtures. Though those cost a...

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    Interesting. Disney choosing to explicitly say they’re using WOM for inspiration in TT3.0 and then confining any traces of WOM to a post-show Easter egg or two seems like one of the worst promo strategies they could go with. A sure fire way to make many people feel underwhelmed in the final...

    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    In the abstract, I think most people on here are supportive of accommodations. Some may quibble with specific claims of need. Hate is a strong word to throw out there.

    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    You can’t demand sympathy from people. Good lord, the entitlement. If you’re afraid of pushback for complaining about not receiving a benefit, you absolutely do not have to post about it.

    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Both things can be true at the same time. The parks are undersized/optimized to today’s crowds & there’s selfish people who have unilaterally decided they deserve special treatment, without any third party diagnosis.

    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    It’s not the equivalent to stand-by. The non-Genie+, non-DAS guest cannot magically duplicate themself and go on the carousel, the train, or any other low wait attraction while still simultaneously waiting to get to the end of the Mine Train line. What you’re experiencing in that scenario is...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    I'm surprised there's not been a re-emergence of a Broadway-caliber theater in all these West MK expansion plans. Seems like a no-brainer for added capacity and quicker insertion of future "hot" IPs.
