    News Tomorrowland love

    I LOVE the new sign. I'm not a person who always likes minimalist design- but here it works. The '94 version of Tomorrowland had certainly had its turn and the cleanness of this look is refreshing- as well as being a throwback to original MK Tomorrowland. Now, I'm just ready to see the rest of...

    EPCOT Beauty and the Beast sing-along coming to Epcot's France Pavilion

    I've had similar experience observing people react to Impressions de France. A few months ago, I remember one particular night showing where everyone in the theater seemed spellbound. I still remember an older couple holding hands, young children noiseless with eyes glued to the screen, and an...

    New enhancements coming to WDW's Haunted Mansion for the 50th anniversary?

    I maybe should have used the word "intensity" instead of "loud." There needs to be an adequate level of intensity with the sound effects to add a creep factor- which in this case is to let the rider know there are powerful beings trapped behind the doors trying to break out. If the sound effects...

    New enhancements coming to WDW's Haunted Mansion for the 50th anniversary?

    It's still definitely not as loud as pre-2006 refurb. But I'm glad they intensified it a little bit at least to add more of a creep factor (without being too much).

    New enhancements coming to WDW's Haunted Mansion for the 50th anniversary?

    It seems that they've recently enhanced some of the audio in the Corridor of Doors. Louder, more realistic knocking sounds, screams/shrieks a little more prevalent, and the last door which used to have the skeleton hands prying it open has the growling goul sound effect behind it again. I'm very...

    Please Refurbish the WDW Haunted Mansion

    Just went on HM last week. In the Corridor of Doors, it seems that they've enhanced some of the audio. Louder, more realistic knocking sounds, screams/shrieks a little more prevalent, and the last door which used to have the skeleton hands prying it open has the growling goul sound effect behind...

    EPCOT Spaceship Earth Refurb - 2 Year Closure

    While there is much I don't like about the current 2007 version of Spaceship Earth- it roughly still follows the formula of non-IP, straight to the point, original Future World attractions. I will appreciate and soak it in while we still have it.

    New enhancements coming to WDW's Haunted Mansion for the 50th anniversary?

    Cool, that must just be at Disneyland. I've never heard it at WDW.

    New enhancements coming to WDW's Haunted Mansion for the 50th anniversary?

    Yeah I knew that the Hatbox ghost has never been at WDW, just was wondering if it was some lost audio originally intended for that purpose. I thought you weren't in the graveyard scene proper yet because the chorus and singing hadn't started. You can actually hear that instrumental GGG music...

    New enhancements coming to WDW's Haunted Mansion for the 50th anniversary?

    Even if that audio is reconstructed and not original, that happens to be exactly how I imagined the man in web would sound like- very creepy.

    New enhancements coming to WDW's Haunted Mansion for the 50th anniversary?

    Here's one I've wondered about. This seems to be a fairly original soundtrack from WDW's Haunted Mansion someone uploaded on Youtube. You can hear a distinct growling laugh near the end of the attic scene at 14:53. You only hear it once there, so maybe it was originally supposed to be from the...

    New enhancements coming to WDW's Haunted Mansion for the 50th anniversary?

    You described it perfectly- that is exactly how I feel about the current attic. Yes, yes, and yes!!!

    Man Accused of Stealing Buzzy's Clothing from Disney World Arrested

    I saw months ago that it had been confirmed from multiple insiders that imagineers had hastily taken him out once his clothes were stolen in fear that he himself would be stolen, and then other Disney people came in and saw him missing and freaked out and the filed the police report (right hand...

    News Soarin’ Over California Returns!

    I loved the Soarin' over California version even here in Florida. It had something Soarin' around the World lacks- I don't know, it just felt more real and had more gravity. With Soarin around the World, I'm not a fan of the distracting transitions between each scene and the added cgi elements...

    Heat and humidity tips

    Many will be putting much of your all's tips to good use soon. Gearing up for some serious heat in Orlando into next week. I live here and it is already baking hot. The sun seems almost unusually intense. Looks like the peak temps will occur without the help of many clouds with rain coming back...

    Worst Walt Disney World Attraction

    I agree (except the fact that it did replace Horizons)- it's a lazy attraction that has nowhere near the artistry, imagination, detail, or edutainment factor as one of the original Future World pavilions- nothing more than a heavily glorified mall simulator that gets people nauseated or panicked...

    EPCOT Spaceship Earth Refurb - 2 Year Closure

    Even though I know it shouldn't happen- I really hope that somehow pictures of the 1994 descent scenes as they are today surfaces sometime before they are ultimately dismantled.

    EPCOT Spaceship Earth Refurb - 2 Year Closure

    I forget where, but I recently saw a comment by someone saying that it would be awesome if they added the Brava Centauri Space Music to 180-top at Spaceship Earth for the redo. I have a feeling they wouldn't go with something "old," but it would sure sound as awesome as ever. It got me...
