Hope you're right and we get a decent amount of dark and threatening scenes and characters.

I actually wonder if Scar and the hyenas will even be in the ride, save perhaps for a shadow projection ala Gaston and the angry mob. There's been a annoying trend in recent years where villains have been absent or heavily sidelined from kids rides based off animated films. Dr Facilier didn't...

Within the constraints of seeing this in video form and not in person, Ministry looks to be on the higher tier of good, but not quite great. It's not as impressive as it was hyped up to be. I appreciate that it has the most actual animatronics of any Potter ride to date, and that elevates it...

Lightning and Sally at RSR I think probably uses exterior projection for the mouths (eyes I think are internal). There are fixtures that jut up from the floor that I assume house projectors. But they don't move around nearly as much as the AA for Victoria, and the bumper surface it's projected...

Then i'm at a loss, because it doesn't really look like any face projection i've ever seen. They somehow got exterior projection to sync up seemingly perfectly with her dynamic and rapid head movement. It also reacts to the lighting and shadow changes of the surrounding scenery. Maybe it doesn't...

I don't personally get motion sick on FJ, i'm not prone to motion sickness at all. But I do understand why others would. I think a lot of it is because of the simulator elements of FJ, it latches giant omnimax screens onto your vehicles multiple times throughout the ride. These scenes contain a...

For anyone who has been on Ministry, what is the comparable thrill level like for a Disney ride? I've heard comparisons to the drop in Rise, but also obviously seen comparisons to Tower of Terror. I have no problems with Rise as its dip is fairly mild. But I don't often ride Tower since the...

Yeah I can tell they cut and edited out parts and i'm sure it's much better in person. Forbidden Journey is almost impossible to record properly, and this ride seems like it will have similar problems. Even with all that said, first impressions are still fantastic. LOTS of impressive physical...

Based purely on that 3 minute video, the Monsters Unchained ride looks incredible. I don't like Rise, so I won't even bother to bring it up as a standard. But this Monsters ride also looks even better that Forbidden Journey to me. I'm actually shocked as I did not expect to be THIS impressed...

The new track looks like it has the correct size spaces to fit two wood ties between each pair of metal support beams, same as the old track. That will come much later though, it'll be after they fill back in the rockwork they had to tear out. I'm not sure whether these beams are bolted into the...

For modern Disney's standards, wouldn't surprise me. Though I don't know if it would be AS problematic as having lighting embedded into walkways. Those routinely get flooded with rain or pressure washed, water pools there and seeps down into them (and apparently they were improperly sealed too)...

I'm not sure if Paris did this, but Martin stated some years back that at one point a project was being cooked up to permanently install LED lights inside the walls of Cindy's castle at WDW to make the Dreamlights a permanent fixture. Like drilling small holes and filling them with small...

The censorship messed up and made it even funnier and more raunchy. Could go even further with inappropriate jokes about "you've got a friend in me".

I recall it being mentioned by an insider or two here (either Marin or Lee I think, I forget) that at some point in the 2000s, WDI planned a significant refurb to include the "up the waterfall" sequence. So you would remain on the lift and disembark at the top similar to Anaheim. Maybe a new...

I forgot about that. Too bad. Not sure how I feel about the "toss a handful of our spare princesses onto this generic one" float. It's pretty and all, but kind of lazy and cheap to just consolidate them all into one generalized one. At least when these parades are already much shorter than the...

If they're actively trying to make certain floats tie in with a "wishing star" theme, then I'll be surprised if Princess and the Frog isn't one of the remaining floats. Could also do an Aladdin themed one with the carpet flying through the clouds and starry sky. Hercules could also work if they...

I don't give a crap how terrible the movie was (no arguments from me there) or whether that makes it "undeserving" of a place in the parade. What I do care about is whether a float is beautiful and appropriately traditional for classic Disney light parade standards. And this float is both...

Get rid of Fastpass/Genie? :P

I hope they bought about 50 palettes of this stuff...

Nothing as far as I know. They seemed to have completed most of the prior WoL interior gutting, but I don't even think that was 100% done and there was still a lot of basic prepping needing to install any new theming. Probably weren't close. There were still a few hallways off the main lobby...
