This is good news for Soarin' fans like me. I like both versions. Distortions were never noticed in the version over California. I'll join the chorus of those who'd like to see both versions stick around.

Okay, answering my own question - the bird is a type of vulture and its inclusion on the attraction has meaning. Read about it in this link: https://www.tibettravel.org/tibet-travel-guide/sacred-vulture-in-tibet.html Joe Rohde spoke about it probably back in 2006 shortly after the ride opened...

I saw on Twitter that the bird effect was recently noted to be working and that led to more discussion that it has been working for a few months now. It has been so long since I've been on Everest and even longer since the bird was part of the ride that I've forgotten what type of bird it is...

Is Ohana without meat skewers even Ohana? Congrats on getting the noodles back 👏👏

“Expectations were raised and then disappointment” describes both the surprise announcement and my understanding of what life is like trying to get into a panel discussion at D23. Tip of the cap to those who wait to get in longer than a spring break standby time for Flight of Passage on an...

All those memories of prior D23 Expos - the long lines, the excruciating wait times flooding back right now. 😂 Twitter shows people already queueing up for tomorrow. Welcome to Expo life 😳

It is worth taking a moment to recall how the Avatar: World of Pandora announcement caught forum members here truly by surprise. There had been no suggestion of the upcoming announcement by anyone with insider knowledge. Maybe the surprise announcement will not be such a complete surprise as...

To everyone still scrolling this thread, are there any particular answers we still expect to receive to any unanswered questions? I remember reading several pages back that a number of Walt Disney Company “operatives” would be exposed for their ongoing roles as influence agents pretending to be...

Guys, there have always been people on these forums with multiple accounts. It has been an issue at times when the person does something to earn a ban and then rooting out the duplicate accounts is like pulling weeds. Why do it? Several reasons including (1) creating an illusion that your...

I feel fortunate to have experienced it when it worked. Having that big yeti lunge at you, especially if you were on the right side and kept your eyes open (it turns out a lot of people closed their eyes in fright) evoked a sense of a real creature after you. Without that, it’s a fun coaster...

So, 10 years later, no Soarin’ Over Baton Rouge & no Nickelodeon Park in New Orleans. Guess I’ll have to find something else to do this weekend... again. A lot of the people who contributed to this discussion are no longer around but a few still are.

The spring rolls at the walk up window are a tasty treat. 2 of them for roughly $4, for those not on the dining plan, I guess. Careful though - mishandle and all the goodness will squirt out the bottom! As for the cheeseburger pods, I was glad to have that option for counter service. I'd eat...

I saw Logan earlier this year and Shane still hasn't come back, even in whatever future year that movie is supposedly set. If it wasn't clear from my earlier post, Mr. Blitch is retired and anything I understood from that conversation is unofficial and not the position of the Walt Disney company...

It has indeed been a decade now and for years I held out hope the Yeti would be fixed once the park had another draw - Pandora - but made my peace with the fact the swooping Yeti is not coming back. A recently retired VP of Imagineering, Jack Blitch, was a lead PM on Everest, maybe THE lead PM...

Any buyer's remorse yet over killing the Tower of Terror idea at DCA? The crowds for its final days will be memories the collector can put on his shelf right next to 20K Nautilus subs, Mr Toad's Wild Ride at WDW, the Adventurers Club at Pleasure Island and what, Horizons at Epcot Center...

i admit to having lost my sense of orientation to the thread topic after reading the past 2 pages....so is there any update to the issue of Great Movie Ride being replaced? The other topics are interesting and all, but I saw the thread title and was wondering if anything was newly announced.

Sticking my nose in here, 7 Dwarfs Mine Train is not an E - many wish it was.

That was a special moment for those in attendance and it shows you what D23 is capable of being and doing. My suggestion would be to appoint a head - someone to be the face of the organization to whom feedback can be given and then separate D23 renewals and merchandise orders from The Disney...

D23 has no soulfulness. I was a founding member, defended it in these forums against its critics. The events were mostly in California, the really good events sold out immediately and over time the face of D23, Steven Clark disappeared and was not replaced and the quarterly gifts stopped. The...
