    What Ride Would You Want to See Put in the Old Snow White's Scary Adventures Building?

    Hello, I was very disappointed not only for Disney getting rid of Snow White's Scary Adventures, but the fact that they didn't even replace it with another ride. It was like pouring salt on the wound when they put in that meet and greet. Still, if Disney ever decided to change their mind, I...

    New Imagineer Introduction Thread

    Hello! So excited to find this forum for "armchair imagineering." I'm a dreamer and am very imaginative- I spend hours thinking about ideas for amusement parks. So, I'll be thrilled to share some of my ideas here!

    What Is Your Favorite Ride And/Or Attraction ❓

    I'd say Splash Mountain right now, with Tower of Terror (used to be my favorite for a loooong time), Everest, Haunted Mansion, and Space Mountain all a close second. Reason it's Splash Mountain- nice long ride, immersive, great storytelling, good thrills (I still get a little nervous going up...

    Will any changes happen with upcoming improvements to Epcot with Iger stepping down

    We need a Trump type person (in the sense of draining the swamp) to come in and "Make Disney Great Again!"

    Insane crowds, more space needed

    One of the worst places is in Frontierland in between Thunder and Splash mountain. It's narrow, and gets to be a gridlock sometimes. Of course because it is right where 2 of some of the most desired rides in MK are, and from what I observed, some people just tend to stop there with their group...

    Aggressive/Nasty Security Member Encounter

    I was partly inspired to share this experience I had almost exactly a year ago (March 2018) after reading some other posts about rude cast members or other interactions (especially the Flower and Garden Festival 2004 incident thread). I mean, it was a year ago and I know it might be redundant to...

    News Is Carousel of Progress getting a major refurb?

    I enjoyed reading your all's thoughts on this. Having gone on it in the last month, I too noticed the horrible condition of the seats- just terrible! Besides that, they are actually very comfortable though. I still enjoy it. It's something good to do after you've done a few thrill rides and you...

    EPCOT Upcoming Changes to Test Track?

    To me, Test Track 2.0 was a lazy overhaul and missed opportunity. Going on it recently with my family- every one of us couldn't keep from mentioning how much better the original was and how dumbed down and simplified the new one is. 2.0 is just like a video game with no real-world practical...

    EPCOT Upcoming Changes to Test Track?

    Yes! When I went on it the first time when I was 9 or 10, I thought they were literally going to simulate crashing into those doors, and on the photo (which by the way, why the heck don't they take the picture there still???), it looked like I was bracing for death. And in later years, I loved...

    Astro Orbiter removal - relocation or scrap?

    Sorry about this confusion. I realized I posted this in the wrong thread- and had left a comment up for a little while saying that I would delete my original comment and move it to another thread (which is the one titled "How would you make the Astro Orbiter better."), and I expected the...

    How would you make the Astro Orbiter better

    I will do what I can. Thank you for your understanding (:

    How would you make the Astro Orbiter better

    I haven't done it at night, maybe it is indeed better then. And sorry if it annoys people to bump an old thread. On another forum I'm a member of, we're encouraged to comment on a thread of existing subject matter instead of taking up more space creating a new thread, so I thought I was doing...

    Should the Castle Forecourt Stage be removed?

    I do have to agree- that is one plus to drawing crowds there for those shows/parades. Last week I went on Space Mountain at 3pm while the parade was going on and the line began past the star tunnel! Only about 30-35 minute wait.

    How would you make the Astro Orbiter better

    I hope they get rid of the current version of that eyesore. I was recently thinking how long it's been the way it is (since 1994), and that hopefully it's finally "outdated" enough to make them redo it. To me, it looks like a giant mobile of something a 5 year old would have in his bedroom. I...

    Magic Kingdom Tree Massacre

    I walked through the hub last week and in the back of my mind, something just seemed off: I realized how unappealing it was: barren, sparse, and blazing hot. No appeal to stick around during the day unless for a photo opp, first look at the Walt/Mickey statue/castle, or for a show. It makes...

    Should the Castle Forecourt Stage be removed?

    I agree the stage is an eyesore and it is annoying to have the beautiful walk through under the castle closed through much of the day. I remember when I first started realizing they were using that stage more and more and was very frustrated. I know it is unrealistic for them to stop doing shows...

    PeopleMover issues

    I agree the WDW peoplemover seemed kind of worn out the last couple times I rode it. A couple trains weren't being loaded and had orange caution cones in them (maybe doors weren't working or something). And I saw the ride stop multiple times (it didn't seem to be for handicapped loading). The...

    PeopleMover issues

    Haha...well... I briefly stood up back in 09 when Space Mountain was being refurbed to try to get a picture over the construction wall. Ride didn't stop though...
