    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    I think this is the one thing from v2.0 that will be genuinely missed.

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    And the rest. One of the comparison videos, I think it's obvious what are real, physical sets and what aren't, and trhat includes all the props and dressing, and the most astounding omission from the post I was replying to is the barrier test room, which is a really big physical set. What have...

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    Well, apart from the rough road blocks, the block displays, the dressing around the brakes tests (cones, barriers, walls, trailer with tyres), heat test room, cold test room, the robot room, the fake forest in the handling test, the close-encounter truck, the elaborate barrier test room with...

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    Oh, this could start a war! Can we just not say that all the classic EPCOT attractions were absolutely awesome and leave it like that?

    DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Would a new film have made it feel modern, or do the Muppets themselves feel "old"? I don't think the slapstick, the jokes, the situation etc feel old at all. Even 3D, that's still being used in new attractions. But the film quality does date. Similarly with Reflections of China, it almost looks...

    News Disney and Miral Announce New Seventh Theme Park Planned for Abu Dhabi

    BTW having slagged off the dark rides, I must point out that some of the POVs you see aren't really representative and the rides may actually be better than they look in YT videos. In a lot of them, you can see the warehouse the rides are in, the infrastructure on the ceiling, the walls, the...

    News Disney and Miral Announce New Seventh Theme Park Planned for Abu Dhabi

    I was in Dubai and Abu Dhabi with the ECC in March 2017. I was swayed by the bragging rights of riding the world's fastest coaster, but I'm over chasing record breakers now and I won't be going there again. We visited Legoland, Bollywood, Motiongate, IMG, Ferrari World, some malls with rides...

    News Disney and Miral Announce New Seventh Theme Park Planned for Abu Dhabi

    The same way that you can hear no sounds, play no games, comment on no posts, eat no greens, have no idea, make no noise, do nothing, go nowhere, say nothing, wear nothing... It's a valid expression. "<verb> no <noun>" is the same as "not <verb>ing any <noun>" "not <verb>ing no <noun>" is...

    When is Space Mountain scheduled for refurbishment?

    Since I likened the feel of Matterhorn and Space Mountain to Steeplechase, so this is indeed on-topic honest, can we just take a moment to appreciate the brilliance of this. Watch all the way through for all views for the best effect. And notice the jerky transitions.

    When is Space Mountain scheduled for refurbishment?

    There are so many Arrow "classics" lol! But...we'll miss them when they're gone.

    When is Space Mountain scheduled for refurbishment?

    Yes, I see he says he gave up riding it. How old is he now? 93? It's nowhere near the severity of many other coasters, mostly Arrows and Vekomas and badly-maintained woodies. This is a decent family-friendly ride that many people enjoy. Is it still popular? Of course it is. It actually feels...

    This new ride at Sea World Should Be So Much Fun!!!

    I will be trying this in December!

    OMG, I've only just realised I saw the Yeti move!

    Although it was only the first and second times I rode Expedition Everest, the Yeti is just a fleeting glimpse at the best of times so it's possible it never registered on me anyway. I was looking back at videos of my trip in November 2006, a friend was videoing from the seat behind me. Both...

    Universal UK

    Well, I overstated it slightly. Not a personal friend, but we're both members of the RCCGB and have been on the same USA trips a few times (Florida and California). ISTR Germany too but I could be wrong.

    I know personally the author of RCT. It's not what you know but who you know.

    EPCOT New GEO-82 Spaceship Earth Lounge Coming to EPCOT

    If you use a search engine for "epcot spaceship earth blueprint" you should be able to find something explanatory - floorplans and cross-sections. The central bit of Project Tomorrow which houses the globe is a cut-out in the second floor and extends the full height of the building, so as such...

    Doctor Who (BBC & Disney+ 2023)

    It was, but also a plot similar to, famous lines from and an ending copied from... which leads me again to think that RTD has had influence from Disney in creating the storylines. I though it was a very good episode though, quite scary and full of tension. In fact, a bit like the above!
