    News Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours coming for resort guests

    This doesn't look like a big thing on paper, but look at Tokyo Disney how big of a change 15 min early entry is. By the time I was at the fastpass machine for Toy Story I had a fastpass for well into the afternoon. I imagine Disney will be having a seperate line for resort guest, similarily to...

    Nintendo partnering with Universal to make attractions.

    I don't expect us to be able to steer, its problaby closer to an onrails shooter. Use the steering wheel to point from L to R and use the big button in the middle to shoot things. Potentially the other solution is four different roles that are being switched randomly throughout the ride akin to...

    EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    And imagine that 99% of the people don't realize Crush Coaster is an actual coaster... since they assume it stays tame like the small part outside and ignore the huge blue box behind it. Crush Coaster is fun if you ride it with unknowing people ;)

    Second closure for Disneyland Paris due to COVID-19

    I fully expect Disney wants to be open for christmas holidays. If the government allows it, they will 99% sure do it.

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    Isn't Frozen the only E-ticket in Fantasy Springs? Maybe Peter Pan aswell. Still its remarkable, but Sea really needed more attractions and capacity.

    Beauty and the Beast Tokyo ride through

    They probably tried to distinguish the ride experience from Pooh's aswell, which is right across the street. If you would have a normal darkride where you go from scene to scene and end up in the ballroom for a dancing sequence it would be exactly the same template as Pooh's. I understand why...

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    They actually dispatch six vehicles with each one sitting 10 people. It really is a hybrid of a theater show and darkride and I find it interesting that the Japanese chose for this kind of darkride versus ROTR. Both very storytelling heavy attractions, but with a different cultural flavour.

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    I am kind of surprised by how long they are spending in each scene. Its kind of a darkride/theater in one.

    Riviera to MK Transportation

    Take the uber/lyft and drop off at the Contemporary, short stroll of 5 min to the entrance.

    Disneyland Paris Reopening

    A Disneypark closing at 4 is a new low, even by Studio park his standards.

    HHN Not Happening

    The park that I mentioned just announced they are going to transform one of their haunted houses into a restaurant. Tables are for 2 people with social distancing inbetween, scare actors will be walking inbetween the tables. Set menu including unlimited drinks. Pretty cool, they are really using...

    HHN Not Happening

    Halloween events are happening in the Netherlands. But haunted houses are either with 1 person going alone, or per household/group with social distance between them. The biggest event ended up calling itself the "VIP (very important prey)" edition due to a lower capacity. Make it a selling point ;)

    Universal Orlando outlines plans to reopen its theme parks from June 1

    I don't think it has ever reached full capacity right? It was supposed to run with 12 trains, but I think they ran with a maximum of 8 last november.

    Universal Orlando outlines plans to reopen its theme parks from June 1

    How reliable is Hagrids right now? Last November it was a living nightmare.

    DHS Best Hollywood Studios Attraction added to the park

    Universal has the same problem, where studios is mostly big attractions except the kids area. Which is kind off ironic looking at this park...

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    Partly indoors, the station will be outside. The showbuilding will be hidden behind a cave facade.

    DHS VQ/BGs (Virtual Queues/Boarding Groups)... Yay or Nay? (Better alternatives?)

    I should have been more clear. I proposed the above scenario looking at the current situation with the Coronavirus where it is indesirable to have too many people cramped up together. The BG in combination with capping the attendance (which problaby wouldn't be necessary with the number of...

    DHS VQ/BGs (Virtual Queues/Boarding Groups)... Yay or Nay? (Better alternatives?)

    What if they are going to use BG for every ride to prevent having long queues. It would basically be a buzzer system: one BG per person and you have to be back within 15/30 min and no standby lines in the park at all.

    DHS Something Guardians of the Galaxy may be coming to Hollywood Studios

    I also wouldn’t expect them to put it back on the table. Guardians is already getting its own ride in Epcot, and in CA the placement is going to make sense once Avenger Campus opens this summer. Iger still had the creative control btw. He only removed himself from day-to-day-fighting-corona-duties.
