And then there's the IP mandate... Star Wars > non-descript coaster to the moon or something.

All the in-theme signage in English now?

Recent homeruns: Rise BatB - the sets are a bit sparse, hence the criticism it sometimes receives, I think. But that's judging BatB as a,dark ride,,and overlooking that the movement of the vehicles is so much of the show. Like judging Thunder Mountain too sparse, when the coaster ride is the...

If you're an engineer, your legacy is determined not by the thousand planes you made fly, but by the three planes you made crash. If you're an artist, your legacy is determined not by your thousand forgettable works, but by your three masterpieces that soared to heaven.

For all I care you go to the supermarket wearing your Mickey Ears and nothing else. You do you, whatever makes you happy. Life's short.

If it's limited to four choices we all leave highly influential or superbly talented imagineers unmentioned. :)

Subject to change on a whim: Hench, Sklar, Rhodeh, Ryman. Hench & Sklar for their work and influence during imagineering's peak, notably EPCOT Center. Rohdhe for his monumental work of making an underfunded park be this interesting. DAK could have looked like DCA. Same for making the...

I'm sure that as we speak the Disney lawyers and engineers are hurriedly conducting feasibility studies to built this asap!

When that DJ isn't playing....

Imagine the zen needed to have to spend three hours in line with a gang of loud obnoxious yanks behind you non-stop yapping how awful everything is. Bless the Japanese, amazing people.

I'm sorry your DS experience was poor. I do believe this was during FS' first year, which was plagued by overcrowding and cumbersome logistics. Otherwise, TDS is a sublime park, rightly admired. Just crowded, more of the 'long lines everywhere' than 'can't walk' kind, all big rides are insanely...

Well I enjoy getting a coffee and sauntering about a park, so that might make me close enough to being a Hipster... That said, DS does have a wait times problem. I was there end of May, somewhat slow-ish, and still every ride except 20k, Sindbad and C-ticket and below was 120 minutes, opening...

Jimmy? Jimmy's but a wee little girlie lad. He carried my bags for me last trip, keeping me cool by waving a fan.

I recently encountered a group from Dios de la Janeiro, the capital of Brazil, whom I easily recognized by their accent, being somewhat of an expert in dialects of Latin myself. They tried to push in front of me on my favourite ride, Aladdin’s Magic Carpets. But being 6’4, 450lbs I use these...

Cars will be like horses. You hold them for fun and leisure, not necessity. Why bother with garages, upkeep, driving, and even parking and walking from a parking place to a front door when you are transported from anywhere to anywhere at the slightest command of your voice? What’s more, within...

I have my feet and my rusty old bike for that! =D But my natural environment is the European city. Had I lived in the US I no doubt would have owned a car. Possibly one bigger than my Euro-sized house.

I ring Iger’s doorbell and let him ‘ave it if he opens.

I think not just Uber, but private car ownership could be outdated, soon-ish. It will help me to succeed in one of my secret life goals: to go a lifetime without ever having a driver’s license, like David Attenborough, and still having a job and traveling the world.

For the sake of interest, I have visited every Disney park in the last six years, and arrived by metro/rail at every one of them, except the two US resorts. I think that in the not too distant future hailed self-driving / flying vehicles will be the global standard means of transport, but for...

My oh my, Crush some sort of Barnstormer, Web Slingers the new Rise… * shakes head in disbelief, ropedrops right * Antman is fun, Iron Man is superb. The Marvel area works surprisingly well in HK, as many areas do over there. I don’t care for it in WDSP. RnRC was slightly more fun, because...
