Hottest of hot takes.

Truthfully, I plan on avoiding the stateside parks in a significant way until at least 2023/2024. Might do a weekend getaway or a run, but even that doesn't sound super appealing at the moment. Too much construction. Too many hot new things opening up. Crowds are going to be insane and I...

Sadly, I can see Chappie rationalizing closing something like FOTLK for 4 years and replacing it with an omnimover. "We will see a net operational capacity gain of 1000 guests per hour."

I hate to say something so basic, but both Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom need an omnimover. A solid C-Ticket with huge capacity that can eat crowds by drawing them in with a solid theme, placed far away from the busiest rides in each respective park.

I think DVC will become an important part of Disney's strategy in the build up to Marvel Land/Frozen Land/Gate Three. It would be foolish of them not to leverage all the shiny new stuff that is inevitably coming to Anaheim with a DVC Resort/Tower.

A fifth gate in Orlando is inevitable. It's more a matter of what and when than anything (same can be said about a third Anaheim). The question is, can they build a fifth gate that eats enough capacity to thin out the other parks as a means to improve the guest experience, but not so much that...

Well if this isn't the most exciting sentence I've ever read on here...

RSR didn't do much for me beyond the gorgeous rock work and final side by side portion of the ride. For me, the rest was just Test Track with characters that I'm not all that attached to.

I love Tron Track. It's a ride that should make you feel like you're in the future. The old setup was cool at first, but it was not ageing gracefully in my opinion.

Quit saying "bad guys" like it's some sort of catch all phrase that encompasses all legitimate security threats to the United States. It's lazy and disingenuous. The point I was trying to make is that the response to incidents like this tend to be proportionate to the force used in the incident...

You can get into the park for the party at 4PM, and you will be given a wrist band. At 7PM, they will start checking guests for wrist bands and everyone who doesn't have one is asked to leave the park.

Creative implementation is just as important as creative design.

Give credit where it's due, Tron and FoP are both pretty creative.

I was very skeptical of the Nintendo expansion when it was announced, it seemed like a project that would be used to take Screenz(!) to a whole new level, and not much more. But this actually looks very promising.

The lighting and the music queues do a lot of the heavy lifting on MAD in terms of getting a fear response from riders.

People forget that increasing the scale attracts attention. One guy hops a fence? Maybe he makes the front door. Twenty guys hop a fence? Every SWAT unit in a ten mile radius is in route.

I mean, yeah, there's lots of things that can happen, but that doesn't make them likely. Ideologically motivated "bad guys" are usually focused in the near term, seeking out targets that are both high volume and easy to access. Much more likely is 1) disgruntled employee with a personal dispute...

I feel like you might have answered this before, but was there a particular reason Festival of Fantasy didn't work at night?

There's a lot of, frankly, bad speculation about Disney's Security operation going on in this thread, and as someone who works in the Security Industry, I wanted to throw my two cents in. -Disney Parks are what are known as hardened targets. There are multiple layers of security between a...

Agreed. The rhino really drives the point of the ride home in my opinion. Glad they didn't shoe-horn another animal in it's place.
