Add me too! I’m a pretty serious railfan as well and, on a (perhaps) off-topic(ish) note, even had the opportunity to experience a rare occurrence where the trains have been running after fireworks (no idea why or how often it occurs, but it was cool nonetheless) plus once spotted the yellow...

Okay, now I'm having WAY too much fun with the six degrees of separation. So the Skyliner and the Skyway are TECHNICALLY made by the same company albeit the Skyway is and was from a time before Doppelmayr took over. I wonder what else I'll find (PLEASE don't feed me more info I'm having too much...

Ah. I've heard of Von Roll, but not of Doppelmayr. From what I just found out from a quick Wikipedia search though, they both are headquartered in Switzerland (Doppelmayr also has Austria HQ, but that's another story). With the six degrees of separation (or in this case similarity), the only...

They HAVE actually made apparences in US parks, Magic Kingdom had some of them one time for a private event, which is a story I'll tell! And yes, it involves darkwing duck! So let's flashback to spring 2017, when I was a DCP intern working in Magic Kingdom in attractions for Storybook Circus...

With this talk about the new skyliner, I'm curious to know if it will be similar in any way - big or small - to the old Magic Kingdom Skyway. Will it use the same rope gauge/size? Same company? Same motor(s)? While I highly doubt it'll be similar, I honestly wonder how this would compare to the...

Well, I looked at one of the concept art images for the new Skyliner. But wait! Who's that in the gondola arriving? It's Captain America! This one was a little hard because it seemed like "Where's Waldo?" since it didn't seem as obvious. If you'd like me to look at some more Disney concept art...

Oh, I've got one too many memes I've made for Disney. Some of them relate to past events (even though I recently made them), some of them are true stories, some of them are from my experience, some of them are from things I've noticed, and others are just ones I made for fun. Here's some 7...

As the title implies, this thread involves Easter Eggs you’ve found or that exist in concept art for Disney theme parks! I’ll start off with my favorite: the Tron ride exterior concept art for WDW. It seems pretty much normal at first, but did you notice the train? It’s the Carolwood Pacific...

Hmmmm..... boy this is kind of tough with the limited amount I can have and the rules! I almost feel like I’m being put on the spot! so unlimitied ride props? Okay! So the locomotive on display at the end of big thunder mountain, the logo from Carousel of progress, the light on the rear of one...

That joke was just wheely wrong. I tire out making puns... hey wait a minute! :p

Well the bus driver wheely isn’t accurate... as for the bathroom janitor, he always is too pooped to give us credible info. No puns intended.

Why do I get a feeling that this was somehow foreshadowed through disney themselves YEARS before it happened? I mean they had some fox films in the Great Movie Ride, they had Star Tours (okay, well maybe that one may have more foreshadowed Disney buying Star Wars...), and there was the American...

I know, my apologies! I just get total geek freak over some small things! :p I know a lot because let's say, I'm a huge nerd and have done lots of reading! :bookworm: Speaking of trains, there is a rumor that isn't gaining much momentum but may be likely. It is regarding the Walt Disney World...

I looked at tron's concept art for the outside. I went TOTAL Disney geek freak over a minor detail. Just below the upper left corner, for the train, that's not any of the locomotives on the Walt Disney World Railroad, oh no. It's the Carolwood Pacific Lilly Belle! While it could just be there to...

I'm curious to know what everyone would want to see in this rumored Tron ride/attraction. I'll start off by saying while I don't know what it is or will be, I would LOVE to see Journey's "Only Solutions" and "1990s Theme" from the original film, which were specifically written for it, featured...

Snap and crap. no wait that doesn't make sense it's an app..... Cents for a restroom anywhere on property or CRAP for short. or maybe PEE: Pay Eleven (cents) for Entry.

It makes sense that they would do this. I think too many people kept sneaking up there unnoticed (and leaving too, maybe), and or got off easy when confronted, so Disney finally had to do something to put a stop to it because while yes it is abandoned, it is off limits and guests are really not...

Really? I wonder how many people have tempted to possibly go down the escalator and see what's there only to either not do it and chicken out, get caught, or see what it is while they are not even at the bottom yet then start heading back up. I also wonder if there have ever been cast members...

I have a few, but here are my top 7 (in no order) and appologies in advance for my tangents: Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress is defenitely one of my favorites, I've even managed to save my self a good seat/row most of the time (another story). I can't quite see WHY people hate it. I guess...

I'm not certain on that, I'm sure they have because they still have a working elevator, but we've probably just never seen it. The escalator is still there too behind a door in the rather nondescript orange hallway between the attraction's queue area/entrance and the gift shop and imageworks...
