    Theme Park Game Changers

    What are all of your thoughts on something like Monsters Inc Laugh Floor or Turtle Talk, with the a live actor voicing an animated character on the screen. This definitely made a change from a repeatability perspective, though maybe it's not significant enough to be a true "game changer."

    Theme Park Game Changers

    E.T. at Universal has also been using a version of personalization for many years. I'm actually surprised that other rides didn't adopt this technology.

    Lost Item During Ride

    Back in December I lost a hat while riding Expedition Everest. I filed a claim with Guest Relations at Animal Kingdom and they told me to check at Central Lost & Found (at the TTC) in a few days, since it takes some time for them to do the full ride walk through and then to get the hat over to...

    News Wishes to be replaced with new 'Happily Ever After' nighttime spectacular

    I think what the show is missing is the narration throughout that connects the "movements" to move the narrative forward. This show is similar to Wishes in that it has multiple movements that each build and climax (withe a "button"), but when you get to that momentary silence between sections...

    Any examples of 'bad show' from years gone by?

    I've posted this before, but a great example is that Disneyland used to have chainlink fence in front of the main entrance!

    Filming for Saturday Night Takeaway - MK Flagpole MIA

    I saw this posted on wdwent.com - sounds like they are filming a TV show https://twitter.com/WDWentHost?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwdwent.com%2Fhome.htm

    Cirque's La Nouba Closing?

    I posted this in another thread, but thought it was appropriate here.

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner

    When you say "sterile," do you mean it in the security context - where they would be doing bag checks prior to boarding, and then not screening those people at the parks?

    Is something happening with La Nouba?

    For what it's worth, I saw La Nouba on Saturday night for the first time (really enjoyed it by the way!) and received a survey in my email today about the show. It asked a lot of questions about my expectations, and then if my experiences lived up to my expectations. It went into detail about...

    2016 Christmas Week Phase Closing watch

    They're really giving out free dining at the other parks for those turned away from MK? That seems like a great offer - Have they ever done that before?

    DHS PizzeRizzo announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios - Was: Rumor: Pizza Planet/Mama Melrose closing?

    Last night we ate at Mama Melrose's, and this morning I received a survey specifically asking about my experiences at the restaurant. None of the questions were anything too out of the ordinary (mostly about service, quality of food, etc.) that would imply closing the restaurant, but I thought...

    New Star Wars Fireworks Show - 'Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular'

    Just announced on the Disney Parks Live Stream - both will be shown beginning December 16th.

    'Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration' show to debut at this year's Mickey's Very Merry Christmas

    And don't forget about "D.U.D.E." the talking/rapping computer from the Mickey's Starland Show - they've definitely referenced current trends before.

    DHS PizzeRizzo announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios - Was: Rumor: Pizza Planet/Mama Melrose closing?

    I can't tell - are those TVs under the overhang? If they are - I wonder what they might be playing - it would be fun if they had Muppet episodes (or clips) playing.

    Paint the night is not moving to Disney World. Stop bumping this.

    Interestingly, Disneyland just announced a new parade for their Halloween parties: https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2016/08/the-all-new-frightfully-fun-parade-debuts-during-mickeys-halloween-party-at-disneyland-park/ Not to say there's a direct correlation to MSEP moving, but it certainly...

    New castle show Mickey's Royal Friendship Faire to open this summer at the Magic Kingdom

    I wonder how the new LED effects in the platforms will affect the Castle Dream Lights - do you think they'll use both? Just use the new LEDs? Could this effect ever be applied to the entire castle? Certainly would be far less visible than the current "nets".

    Interim show 'The Jungle Book: Alive with Magic' confirmed to debut ahead of Rivers of Light

    A couple of questions: 1. From the few photos & videos I've seen, it looks like there are lights on behind the projections (I think they're lighting the trees?). Would turning those lights off help be able to see the projections clearer? I know that it wouldn't help the fact that the fountains...

    DHS DHS Soundstage 1 Renovation - Toy Storia Mania expansion

    Is there any indication as to whether the 2 separate load areas will still exist once the new entrance in TSL opens? Or could they eventually merge track 3 into the existing load area?

    Interim show 'The Jungle Book: Alive with Magic' confirmed to debut ahead of Rivers of Light

    I know that Expedition Everest is going to run through the extended hours, but do you expect them to close the ride (or not dispatch trains, I guess) while the show is going on? Or will they dim the lights on the mountain? I know that DCA closes a lot of Paradise Pier prior to WoC, but that's...

    Parade Testing at Magic Kingdom

    There was a post on another site regarding overnight audio testing. Nothing to imply that it has anything to do with a new parade, but maybe where the rumor the OP is suggesting is stemming from? http://www.orlandoparksnews.com/2016/05/magic-kingdom-overnight-audio-testing.html
