    Rumor Lion King Flume Ride being considered for Animal Kingdom

    Scene 1: Boat enters a (more or less) pitch black room, a simulated sunrise begins to light the room through projection effects, "Nants ingonyama bagithi baba!" Everyone jumps as they are startled by the opening lines of "Circle if Life" as it begin to play at maximum volume...

    Rumor Lion King Flume Ride being considered for Animal Kingdom

    The new Rapunzel ride and Frozen ride on Fantasy Springs at TDS are both boat rides and (essentially) next to each other, so there is president. As far as the ride, I'd be totally fine if it had no drop if it was on the size/level of detail as Sinbad’s Storybook Voyage at TDS... that such a fun...

    Rumor Lion King Flume Ride being considered for Animal Kingdom

    Dial of Destiny bombed and that didn't seem to have any impact on their decision to retheme Dinosaurs to Indy. Besides, Mufassa is coming out this year, any new ride would be 2026 or 2027 (well after any residual effects from Mufassa). If anything, I could see some synergy from the...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    Out of curiosity, how would that have worked logistically? Was the plans to remove/relocate World Dr, or would they have built a themed tunnel/bridge under/over World Drive?

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    Early 90s: Disney wants to build a park in the Washington, DC area called Disney America... falls through Late 90s: Six Flags rebrands a park in the Washington, DC area from "Adventure World" to "Six Flags America" 25 Years Later: Disney rebrands a park as "Disney Adventure World" I know it's...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    I am curious... if they are planning on using the pad suggested for BBTM as well as the Adventureland pad, what options does that leave on the table as the most likely options for future expansion of the MK? Is north of Fantasyland an option? What about just north of Tron? Or southeast of...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    I mean, that's essentially what was proposed when Fire Mountain was proposed for that spot ~30 years ago... build a path back to a mini-land with a few shops/food places and whatnot just behind the PoC show building between the Jungle Cruise and the railroad tracks, then a longer queue for the...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    I hope villains land includes a large indoor theater venue. I honestly can't remember the last time Disney built a new theater venue at a domestic park and a nice, indoor, effects driven show with a cavalcade of various villains could be really neat if done well (and could be a nice balance to...

    Rumor D23 2024 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

    With BBTM seemingly happening, I'm hoping Thunder Mountain gets a nice long, well deserved overhaul (including plussing a few scenes) so it will look its best whenever whatever its new neighbor is opens. Could make the same argument for Haunted Mansion on the other side, but I'm not sure that is...

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    It seems like there is consensus that the DAS system is being abused, correct? I feel like this question may be near impossible to answer, but is there any evidence (anecdotal or otherwise) that the issue wasn't as prominent when FastPass was free? (i.e. fewer people trying to get essentially...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    I started reading that and was hopeful you were going to tell us that they were building a land themed to Minecraft... ;)

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    I think it will include a second entrance, but only to select guests. It would shock me if BBTM didn't include an adjacent "Fantasy Springs Hotel" like inclusion. Given how many Disney parks have hotels with entrances directly into parks they are adjacent to and the insane price they can pay for...

    2045 Orlando Solar Eclipse

    Not sure if the idea of being at WDW for the eclipse is genius or madness. On the one hand, I feel like the energy there would be crazy. On the other hand, feels like the chance for clouds in the early afternoon in Florida in August would likely be pretty high, in addition to the fact that it...

    2045 Orlando Solar Eclipse

    Well, here's a thread that will get some chat, then go quiet for 20 years, then probably be acceptable when it reawakens... The next major solar eclipse in the United States is August 12, 2045 (a Saturday)... and it looks like WDW will be a prime viewing location for the event (weather...

    Test track closed for the summer?

    Is the assumption that TBA (and possibly Country Bears) will open on (or just before) June 17 to help shift some of the demand to MK??

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    If it's the same program many other theme parks are using, it's good for 1 year from when you get it and can be updated/renewed as many times as needed.

    News Disney plans to accelerate Parks investment to $60 billion over 10 years

    While, from a park fans perspective, this may be the proper path forward, from a marketing perspective, a third gate in California is a worthy ambition. No matter how much they add to the current two parks, the majority of vacationers are going to see Disneyland Resort as only needing 2-3 days...
