    Current Soakage Factor At Splash Mountain

    I hate getting drenched on Splash Mountain. Maybe just a little spray is ok, but common, this isn't a water park, and none of the other rides in the park get you wet. If it weren't for that blasted water cannon at the base of the big drop that gets you right before the 2nd hill lift, it'd be...

    Mr Toad's Wild Ride

    Hence my profile picture, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is one of my favorite defunct Disney World attractions- especially after reading the SaveToad website and watching the ride throughs. Magic Kingdom could use another exciting dark ride like it. I know it's very wishful thinking, but I hope one day...

    Why the hate for Little Mermaid ride?

    I'm not a big fan of the Little Mermaid ride in Fantasyland. I like the Little Mermaid and had high hopes for this, and really did try to give it a chance as I've ridden it multiple times. Disjointed storytelling, cut corners in quality (except the queue), cheap looking animatronics, wrong ride...

    Future Nostalgia

    I agree with your 1998 comment. Last year for many classics such as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Horizons, Journey into Imagination...

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    Yeah, I've heard it goes no faster than something like 20mph. But still, it would be that "perceived" level of intensity at Space Mountain for what I had in mind for a 2nd BTMR track. Also an intensity similar to Everest would be good. Again, not too intense for many kids, but something that...

    "Normalization of deviance" and Walt Disney World

    I definitely see the lack of genuineness and sincerity in many of the CM's. It's to the point where it's about half and half I've encountered are workers who are no different than many non-Disney establishments and ones that still display the "classic Disney service." Although even many of those...

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    Doesn't have to be super intense- just something a little more- at least as intense as Space Mountain. Maybe one real good drop (like Everest's: the ones on the current ride are all very short or partial because the back of the train is still going up the chain). I don't find the current one...

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    I think it would be awesome if they built a second track for thunder mountain that was more intense. Kind of like green and orange for Mission Space. 1 for an increased capacity, and 2 to cater to more of the thrill seekers.

    News Fix the Haunted Mansion Intro Timer

    When I went on it yesterday, some of the audio throughout the ride wasn't working- like in the attic scene the "Here comes the Bride" theme wasn't playing and Constance wasn't talking (actually kind of nice since I'm not a fan of the current attic rendition).

    EPCOT Epcot Forever to debut as interim show before full Reflections of Earth replacement

    I'm actually stoked for the Epcot Forever show. I'd love to hear some of those classic songs blasted throughout the park. I'm happy that at least they didn't skip over the subject and go straight to the IP show. Also, maybe it will promote more interest for classic Epcot.

    Hello!

    Hi all! Just joined the thread. Been going to Disney since I was 5. I've always adored the storytelling, theming and quality of the rides/attractions in the parks. They have been significant in shaping my tastes, visions, and future creative endeavors. I like discussing original/defunct...

    Remnants of former attractions

    Yes I made sure when I rode it yesterday to look for those 2 pictures with Mr. Toad and Moley, and I did spot them in the Owl's house scene. It'd be interesting to see a blueprint of the current ride/building overlayed on the original. Here's a picture of the blueprint for the original ride...

    Remnants of former attractions

    Hi everyone! new to the forum here. Does anyone know if there are any visible remains of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at the Winnie the Pooh Ride at the Magic Kingdom? (similar to how some of the Journey into Imagination remnants at Epcot can be seen in the gift shop today, like the outline of the...
