    Villain Con (Minions) ride to replace Shrek 4-D (rumor)

    Well after seeing all the videos of this I am seriously face palming. A long wait gets you a minute or two on a conveyor belt with cheap guns shooting at a projection on a wall. This is just seriously one epic face palm. Its the ultimate down ward slide of disgrace from the legendary hitchcock...

    Las Vegas Sphere dazzles with Spaceship Earth-esque LED display

    Ahh vegas. The cotton candy like destination. It looks sweet and might seem tasteful but after a short while the substance will dissolve away leaving you with nothing but a memory of how good it was.

    News Destination D23 2023

    Universal has their own problems with epic universe. Fantastic Beasts has pretty much bellyflopped into an empty swimming pool. Many of the animated franchises that were going to be used as themes for it are getting pretty old to the point that they don't draw as much as they use to. Dark...

    2023 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival

    I see disney is taking some pages from Sea World and Busch Gardens by having some latin talents grouped in together with some of the other concerts.

    News Florida Division of Emergency Management warns against dangerously hot and humid conditions at Walt Disney World this week

    And this is why water rides are an incredible asset to any theme park. They instantly can go from least to most popular as soon as it gets hot enough. Too bad splash mountain is drier than thunder mountain railroad as the only ride that can legit get you wet at MK is pirates of the caribbean.

    EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    Just got back and so far the construction is a mess. The rock work and plumbing for moana looks complete but its like a puzzle in there. You got one section that is complete, then got a structure that barely looks 4 months into construction, and the rest is a barren battlefield. As for moana...

    EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    You keep adding covid to the equation despite the fact that construction was significantly delayed or in some cases completely stopped due to covid. If you don't include covid as part of the time frame for this constructions its been a lot faster than it could have been. Those areas once again...

    EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    Those were different smaller projects that had no connection to the main construction site. The smaller stuff was finished first because it was an easy project to finish quickly. The main project in the center area required multiple demos as well as a complete replacement of an antiquated...

    EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    That is the thing about theme park attractions. They are like canned foods. Despite how ever long people wait for these attractions, when ever they come out they are a hit. That is why people are still willing to pay extra just to ride some rides despite the very long time it took for them to be...

    EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    Exactly. People want all or nothing. They would rather have everything open at once instead of just a single snippet which is why even though the moana attraction is built you will not be able to access it until all of the construction work around it is done. As for the sponsorship, that was...

    EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    I suspect they are treating the whole thing as one project and the moana portion was the easiest part. The second part now is exhibition areas which supposedly was gonna feature stages and a what appeared to be large displays. They might have scaled back the project a bit due to budget cuts. My...

    EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    Hate to tell you this but everyone does that. Busch Gardens has iron gwazi. Sea world had one as well. Universal has done it. As for this attraction, your ignorance is showing. The moana attraction is only a part of the finished project. Letting in people right now would only create confusion...

    News Disney Jollywood Nights - Disney's Hollywood Studios Holiday Season ticketed event

    I most certainly agree though they will need to work on repairing damage to their xmas trees on the lake as last year they were damage pretty bad after a series of bad storms. Hopefully they will have repaired the damage by now.

    Limited-Time Indiana Jones-inspired beverage outpost coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Just curious does the weathered fedora taste good or does it taste like an old used hat at goodwill store?

    Disney, VR/AR, and Apple's WWDC 2023

    One thing to understand about vr is you gotta treat it like a computer. A computer requires you to use a number of different programs to get the full benefits. In return for using the programs you get abilities that normally would not be available. With a web browser you have access to the...

    Disney, VR/AR, and Apple's WWDC 2023

    I thought the same until nintendo pretty much took over a large chunk of innoventions. Alas that was also when epcot started to make the switch over from its early roots.

    Disney, VR/AR, and Apple's WWDC 2023

    Yes and no. You can have the full vr exprience ie a 360 recording of the entire attraction. As for simulating g-forces from the fall, smells, and splash down at the end that is very difficult to achieve. Sum of all thrills tried to do so but simulating g-forces in some environments is tricky. A...

    Disney, VR/AR, and Apple's WWDC 2023

    Disneyquest was an entirely different animal than innoventions. Disneyquest they wanted to do the vr/ar experience but they did so with technology that was still in its early stages. Just like many other early technologies though they needed for technology to improve and it would be many years...

    Disney, VR/AR, and Apple's WWDC 2023

    Actually no. Im talking about the innoventions as it was originally supposed to be. You are thinking of later innoventions when Im talking about early innoventions. Innoventions at one time was less of an attractions mini mall and more of tech demonstration place. This is where people got to see...
