    Very cool chart, thanks for sharing! A few surprises in there for sure.

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    I would've had Horizons, Figment, and Maelstrom ahead of WOM in terms of popularity, personally. But, it's been a long time and my memory has gotten a bit fuzzy!

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    I think a lot of people are setting their expectations low, but secretly hope they blow our minds like they did with Cosmic *slowly raises hand*

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    I have a vivid childhood memory of the beginning of the ride.. "Why the hell is this thing going outside, that's weird". But it's moving soooo slow. As a kid, it gave me the same feeling as being in a department store. It's better than being at home, it's close to the fun stuff, but it's...

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    What's the best guess on what this will look like on the inside when finished? Same track, but with World of Motion style props and vehicles?

    NYTimes - The Palace Coup at the Magic Kingdom

    Petting the hippo while the board is freaking out over a few pennies in EPS sounds exactly like something... dare I say... Walt himself would have done. Chapek/Iger reminds me a lot of Conan/Leno. It's like, if you're the old guy and it's in your heart to stay until they force you out, then...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    I'm kinda with you, but I see both sides. We've found ourselves booking more table service meals lately just to be able to sit and decompress for a while. But once that meal is over, it's back to the nonstop action for us.

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    We're traveling west, through the great American frontier, we continue on into the forests of the American Northwest, and finally arrive at Villians Land aka ..... Seattle? 😄

    EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    I was reading old posts from around the soft opening, and this is the one I disagree with the most. I'm convinced the slingshot around the moon is a top-3 coolest effect in all of WDW history, and I've been going since the early 80s! I was also amused that most of the posts from around that...

    Cosmic Rewind at WDW

    I didn't. It's the best ride I've ever been on. Between this and Tron, the whole visit to WDW feels different (in a good way) now.

    Disney Passes on Bluey Theme Park Rights?

    Late to the party but I'm with @AndrewC on this one. There's an emotional connection that Bluey builds with the audience unlike any other kids show I've seen. I'm extremely confident our kids will be showing their kids Bluey one day.

    Will a fifth gate ever be built at WDW?

    Fair point More attractions (via a new park) would help to alleviate this

    Will a fifth gate ever be built at WDW?

    There would be slight growth in the total # of visitors, just to see the new park. But let's say the new park brought in nobody new, and just cannibalized from MK/EP/HS/AK. Taking a few people from each of those parks and putting them into a new park allows more freedom of movement/spending...

    Will a fifth gate ever be built at WDW?

    Same thing I've said before... MK 1971 EP 1982 HS 1989 AK 1998 I'd say we're overdue! Do they have the land? Yes. Would people go? Yes. Would it make money? Yes. What's the problem again?

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    I'm as right wing as anyone on this site (see: half my posts from 2020-2021 were deleted by mods because I opposed lockdowns that much). I believe the Parents Rights in Education bill was common sense and Disney made a mistake in slamming it. All that said, any use of state power to enact...

    Spaceship in Spaceship Earth

    Ah, I see now. Also wanted to add, just after the graduation caps, if you continue looking over your left shoulder it appeared to me last week there may be some other artifacts from old scenes showing. There were other riders so I couldn’t get a flash photo. If anyone is going soon I’d be...

    Spaceship in Spaceship Earth

    Got stuck under the spaceship for quite a while yesterday. Was able to get this photo. Never noticed the grating before; does it allow for CM walking access into the spaceship?

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    Iger's comments yesterday are essentially identical to what he said when he returned as CEO in Nov 2022: "Do I like the company being embroiled in controversy? Of course not. It can be distracting, and it can have a negative impact on the company. And to the extent that I can work to kind of...
