    Tower Of Terror Could Lose!

    The ToT has a great BACKstory along with incredible themeing in my opinion. That's not a negative; that's what they chose to do to set up the elevator drops or the experience of going where those people went. I'm not exactly sure what people expect as an ending. Its an experience...you are...

    Magic Kingdom set to break attendance records next week? 7am to 3am operating hours!

    I would prefer to be the Millionaire or the Professor. :lookaroun

    Orlando Sentinel: Space Mountain

    Yeah, the whole its fine mentality is why its in the state it is now. A roller coaster that goes 28 miles an hour shouldn't hurt, and this one does. And its not just the unexpectedness...even in the loading and unloading areas its jerky as hell. Until you've actually experienced Space Mountain...

    Orlando Sentinel: Space Mountain

    I love Space Mountain. I don't love what its become, however. Then I rode the Disneyland version. THAT'S what Space Mountain used to feel like. Not exactly, but smooth, dark, fun and just a great ride. I prefer single seating except for right now when I have a five year old who also loves to...

    I never got sit down dining in WDW parks...

    Eh, in my opinion all the food in the parks is pretty bad. Its certainly not worth missing another ride on Space, Pirates or what have you for. Its even more overpriced than the crappy counter service food and takes longer to get to boot. Not counting V&A, Narcoosee's, California Grill and...

    Which ride have you NOT ridden at Disney World?

    :lookaroun It goes upside down, too!

    Could Disneyland's Indy ride work in Animal Kingdom?

    Maybe base it on one of the few good scenes in the fourth movie. Start off in the cars, launch into a tree, settle into a little river ride then over the falls you go! Three times! :lookaroun

    Could Disneyland's Indy ride work in Animal Kingdom?

    I've never been on it of course, but isn't it pretty similar to the Raging Spirits ride at Tokyo DisneySea? (Rather, since Indy came first I guess Raging Spirits is similar to it :)) And wasn't the layout copied from a Pinfari design? I'm sure the themeing is nice, but from what I read the ride...

    Could Disneyland's Indy ride work in Animal Kingdom?

    On the other hand, Kali River Rapids has nothing to do with animals, either. Environmentalism, sure, but I don't remember any animals, unless one wants to count the tigers that were originally supposed to be part of the attraction. They could just as easily retheme Indy to have an environmental...

    Intresting Universal Trip Report

    How can the Hulk be dated? He's been around since 1962, has inspired a TV series and two movies, both of which were reasonably successful. Dudley Do-Right is a gas. The drop blows Splash Mountain (and the T.N.T. shack) out of the water. And as others mentioned, Popeye is the best raft ride...

    Could Disneyland's Indy ride work in Animal Kingdom?

    I agree to some extent, but BTMRR, Splash, Pirates, Mansion, etc., etc., etc. are either clones or incredibly close to each other, so its not like this is a new phenomenon. Heck, Disney tried to give WDW guests a unique attraction instead of Pirates, but guests complained that Pirates wasn't...

    Could Disneyland's Indy ride work in Animal Kingdom?

    CTX = Countdown to Extinction, original name of the current Dinosaur ride. Thematically it might work (though the connection to any animals would have to be added to the ride) I can't see how putting it in Animal Kingdom would work. Its the same ride system as Dinosaur, but if they put a...

    PIXAR Bashing!

    I for one love all the Pixar movies, even Cars and A Bug's Life that I thought were just average for Pixar movies are better than 90% of other animated movies that come out. I'm just a tad tired of seeing them put in attractions where they don't really belong (Epcot) and/or lands that the theme...

    Which Ride Needs To Go? HISTA or Muppets?

    There have been rumors about them taking out Muppets 3D from DCA and maybe putting in a Great Muppet Movie Ride. That would be a good addition to Hollywood Studios in the Muppet Backlot area. They don't have quite the space issues I don't think at HS that they do at DCA.

    Which Ride Needs To Go? HISTA or Muppets?

    Muppets has appeal far beyond the younger crowd. It has what is missing in a lot of "kids" entertainment these days; it appeals to more than one demographic. I doubt most kids get most of the sarcasm from Waldorf and Statler for one thing. Heck, I remember watching the Muppets on TV during...

    Tower Of Terror Could Lose!

    Don't you know? Everything in Tokyo is better! :( Sad but true! Whatever anybody else thinks, its my favorite ride of any kind anywhere. The themeing, the thrill, the story, the effects; its all there, and nothing is left wanting. I even like the one at DCA, although to a lesser extent as the...

    DINOSAUR with lights on

    This just reinforces my opinion that's its basically "Jerky Ride Through Dark Prop Warehouse"...but I guess that doesn't have the same ring as "DINOSAUR". :lookaroun I still like it though. Just not nearly as much since I rode Indy at DL. I was kinda sad because I used to like Dinosaur so much...

    DINOSAUR with lights on

    WDW Space Mountain = DLR Matterhorn Bobsleds...more or less I rode WDW Space Mountain in January and DLR Matterhorn Bobsleds in February and was surprised that the Matterhorn, though rough, was actually smoother than WDW Space Mountain...and its 16 years older! Weren't Matterhorn and WDW SM both...

    Did the free dining announcement make you change your plans?

    Yeah, we've already been to WDW (from Arizona) once this year in January for 7 nights, so we won't be going back this year. Been to Disneyland twice so far and will certainly go at least once more. Much closer! Anywho, I really don't think the chance of getting "free" Disney food would be much...
