Yeah because being stuck in an un air conditioned glass and metal box high off the ground in the middle of the Florida summer afternoon sun for 1-3 hours is exactly the same as being stuck in a ride in an air conditioned building. Have you ever read stories about what happens to pets and...

If you have people stranded in these things for 3+ hours in the middle of the Florida summer sun.........The ER crews had better be prepared to remove some of the passengers with a spatula. It still blows my mind that Disney announced they were going to put people in fully enclosed metal and...

The monorail has been in operation for nearly 50 years. The skyline less than a month. Sorry you can’t see the slight difference.

Remind me again why the no air conditioning isn’t any big deal.

Gosh, did you come up with that all on your own? Or did mommy help you out?

Yeah, and the only good Disney film is Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

Why do they have to accept anything Disney does? Because it’s Disney? If Disney is able to make good films and keep the SW universe going in a way that fans like then they’ll accept it. If they can’t, they won’t. It’s the height of arrogance to just say to the largest section of the fan base...

Thanks for pointing out the obvious that no 2 people are exactly like. I’m going on the basis that, so far at least, Potter has been a non stop home run money maker for Universal, whereas GE has opened to mixed reviews and smaller than expected crowds. Which is the exact same thing that Disney...

Apparently because it seems Disney is powerless to maintain EPCOT rides without sponsors.

I’m sure there are probably at least 2 or 3 Star Wars fans who share that assessment.

Uh because it has actual emotion, conflict and grit in it and wasn’t just a couple of guys twirling their light sabers around for 20 minutes in highly choreographed dance moves. All to have it only end up with Obi Wan winning because he finds a patch of ground 4 feet higher than Anakin. Maybe...

But that’s not how Disney was selling this. They were selling it as a total game changer that would bring in droves not just some nice addition to the parks and they were certainly pricing it like it is. You’re right in that DL won’t be a problem because it’s so beloved people will go there...

Agreed. This revisionist “Jedi wasn’t that good” just to try and somehow pump up the 5 films that have come after it, is garbage. Jedi was a great film and the Jabba fight and Vader/Luke duels are far superior to anything that has come since.

Of course they’re cash grabs. The difference is one is a crash grab that was done to the highest caliber and clearly geared to make the world people see in the stories come to life and spend money while doing it. While the other seems to be gathering a lot of “Well it’s nice and all, but isn’t...

You don’t seem to hang around a lot of kids then. I see kids regularly in my job and I can tell you that Harry Potter is more popular, especially with the girls, and it ain’t even close.

It’s not just how “I” want them to look there scrappy. It’s a pretty open secret that the films that are by far and away the most near and dear to Star Wars fans hearts are the Original Triology. If you truly think people are just dying to see the Disney films be the ones that are recreated...

Disney got greedy opening 2 versions of SWGE. They would have been far better served to put all their resources into one attraction in Florida but instead they went in jammed in one at Disneyland as well because “Double the attractions, means double the profits!!!! As long as we stick a...

Exactly. Let’s not kid ourselves and rewrite expectations. From the moment Disney announced SWGE it was billed as this absolute can’t miss home run that would go toe to toe with Potter and bring hordes of people to see it over and over. We’re not talking about Toy Story here, this was supposed...

Oh god yes.....

I could not agree more. I just returned from Florida and I have to admit that, even though I’m not a Potterhead by any means, I was blown away by TWWOHP. The care and attention that was given to recreate the elements of the books/films, from the architecture, rides, food, stores and even the...
