    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    I ran into him too! He was about to watch Philharmagic, super great guy to have a chat about the parks with. :)

    DHS What should they do with Animation Courtyard?

    While I agree that at first this move seems really counter-intuitive to the park's new "high concept" (being a bit generous calling it that), I honestly don't think it makes the park feel less cohesive. If the park was entirely "enter the worlds of films" then there would be no glue to hold the...

    Is the document you're pulling this image from publicly available?

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    These photos give a great sense of the scale for this project, just look at how small the castle looks in that last picture! I'd have to imagine that the land being remediated for laydown yards now could be used as true expansion space in the future.

    DHS What should they do with Animation Courtyard?

    I know this likely doesn't imply anything at all on the space's future but I get a good chuckle reading this as, "Look at the pretty office building we have! We don't want to expand the park here. 😣"

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    As a heads up, Disney has said that filming and photography are encouraged during cast previews, so we should see full POVs dropping as early as Friday the 27th.

    DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    An incredibly misleading time for Spikes to post this, these are the former seats removed when the the seats were replaced a few years ago. The current seats are still in the theatre for the final performance, and will likely remain for the show's replacement.

    I will be handing out chains and padlocks if anyone wants to chain themselves to the rovers with me! 🥲

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    I'd argue LMA and the Backlot Tour were major attractions that weren't terribly dated when they closed, featured impressive pyrotechnics/special effects, and they still moved significant amounts of people with generally positive feedback. Both closed due to having high operational cost and...

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    While I understand your argument that it's hard to quantify how much of a "net gain" certain replacements are due to the differing scales of attractions, it's really disingenuous to say SWGE replaced "flower pots." Streets of America was a major section of the park containing two major special...

    DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Got to say my farewells to the show one final time last night. It truly was a comedic treasure and had maybe the wittiest writing of any theme park attraction of all time. I don't know if we'll ever see anything quite like it again, the dynamic nature of animatronics and effects surrounding all...

    DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    This is blatantly untrue. Muppet*Vision's theatre is being repurposed for a new show themed to Monsters Inc., in addition to the land and coaster. The show has not been scrapped and is in active development.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    I haven't really seen it talked about much anywhere, but the music loop outside of the Super Nintendo World portal in Celestial Park is a rendition of the track Gusty Garden Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy. It's a strong contender for my favorite piece of theme park music of all time now...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    While I dislike the look of the nets, I do think that the coaster track itself isn't an issue, it makes for good kinetics and is tucked between trees. It would look just fine and no more out of place than Hagrid's or Hiccup's if they could remove/scale back the netting with a different loose...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    I was fortunate enough to attend a preview on Friday the 11th and have since taken the time to gather my thoughts! I won't get too deep into attraction spoilers, just general impressions, so if you'd like to hear my musings then read on. This park is indeed a triumph. The world class...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    It's used as a meeting space for ops officials when the conference rooms above Main Street are full. Sometimes when it's not booked frontline trainers will use it as a quiet place to teach trainees.

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Tin foil hat time. This is speculation and reading way too much into a promotional video. I don't believe this layout is actually meant to be representative of the MK Cars attraction at all. I know it plays during the segment of the video dedicated to the MK Cars ride, but the surrounding...

    News Josh D'Amaro and Alan Bergman to speak at SXSW this Saturday

    The Vision Pro and Quest 3 are two totally different calibers of headset. Apple's device drives a primary focus on the Apple ecosystem and productivity within that workflow. The Quest is far more suited to connecting to a Windows/Linux computer and displaying designs made in 3D modeling programs...

    DHS Mando and Grogu Join Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

    I'm a little confused. So far all of the language surrounding this update seems to indicate one new "mission" involving Mando and Grogu, but this concept art shows 3 different locations. Does this one new "mission" have random variation on the ride sequence to take you to one of these 3...
