Why is that a terrible analogy? Wal Mart is not known for quality but more for cheap products produced from cheap labor. You smugly pointed out that WDW is always busy and that must mean people that point out the low quality of the past 15 years must be crazy. Your logic is extremely fallacious...

The issue, as many have pointed out already, is short-term thinking vs. long-term. Instead of looking at an investment directly and asking how much it specifially will return, one should be asking how the investment will strengthen the overall value of the brand and the property. This apparantly...

Well I rode Test Track 2.0 three times just to make sure my impression was fair. I promise you I went into this trying to be objective as possible. In fact I found myself getting mad at the negative reviews before I rode because it seemed people were being overly picky but as it turns out that...

Yea Like Lee confirmed, I'm talking about value engineering such as cutting show quality by reducing show elements and fabricating what's left with cheaper materials/techniques.

The plans also call for a similar Fort to the one at Disneyland Paris.

Your welcome. I, like you, am surprised at the traction this project has gotten considering the dismal state of so many other areas on property. This has been in the works since before the New Fantasyland. Right now the ride is being described as an E-ticket but that may not last considering...

Not sure what you mean by "false rumor." Everything I've said is true. This is beyond Blue Sky now. I'm not saying it will happen I'm simply saying its looking more likely than a few weeks ago.

Let me put this in perspective before the thread gets out of hand. The project recently was taken to the next step in the development process beyond Concept. That's why I said it's looking more likely. It hasn't been officially greenlit but it has made it past the stage that normally marks the...

I completely agree with you but unfortunately it's not our decision. I'm just reporting what I know.

well I guess I'm being optimistic that it can open by Christmas 2013.

Yes Carsland is still very real and active.

I believe I've brought this up before but this major project is looking more likely. Expect a major new attraction as part of the makeover that will be much like WRE with a twist. That's where things stand now and the plan is to begin construction after Snow White ride opens next year.

I don't recall anyone saying the project was ever completely dead. Even when it looked like it was on "life support" WDI was still working on it. So yes WDI had over a year to put together a complete concept package. I'm not sure what your point is here. There are literally hundreds of projects...

Thanks. I just can't get excited for a Soarin' 2.0 when Soarin' 1.0 is about as interesting as watching a nature film at the local IMAX (with the exception of the music score). Of course most local IMAX theaters don't have the vintage film scratches or the long wait in a modern queue themed to...

Expect some activity around summer of 2014.

I wouldn't say they opted to make it less spectacular but it was more an issue of execution and Warner/J.K. trusting Creative Studios a bit too much. From what I've seen during the development so far they have learned their lesson. I'm not going to say that Creative isn't still full of...

Hogwarts Express will be the real deal! The train stations include highly detailed scenery and effects. The trains themselves will be very realistic including steam wafting from each car, scenic treatment and sounds. Each interior cabin includes period props and treatments. The window in each...

Well like I said, I agree with you in terms of overall maintenance, and it is cerainly a shame that the swordfight wasn't working for you, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the statement that WDW is superior when DLP has everything it has anyway. Even if you didn't like any of the...

Yes Shanghai is getting Pirates 3.0. This is a very different take on the ride with a new ride system and a focus more on the movies and the supernatural elements. That and the indoor stunt show will be one of the true highlights in any Disney park.

Wow let me make sure I have the acronym correct - by DLP you saying Disneyland Paris right? You are saying that the DLP version of Pirates is inferior to WDW's version? This absolutely boggles my mind. I'll admit that DLP's maintenance is pretty bad but as far as the actual content and quality...
