    Jurassic Park Rollercoaster Coming To Universals Islands Of Adventure?

    I got to admit, the track from the Bioreconstruct photos above don't look a thing like Cheetah Hunt's. I believe Cheetah hunt has 3 distinct track types throughout the ride, none of which I see in the pics - A basic flat track like when you get to the launch before the jump up to the sky...

    Nuh uh, that can't be the same coaster in the 2nd picture. Looks like it belongs in Nara Dreamland!

    If anything, it would be "ghost" (singular). Per my insider knowledge, there was only room for one more...

    News Primeval Whirl at Disney's Animal Kingdom experiencing extended downtime

    Not only does Kennywood have one as mentioned above, but there are actually over 20 of this exact model still operating according to RCDB. Throw a dart at a map, go there for vacation, you're probably near one. Oh, and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom just announced they're getting one too for 2020...

    News Primeval Whirl at Disney's Animal Kingdom experiencing extended downtime

    If you want to walk 1 land over and wait 2 hours, you can already ride this ride. ;)

    Ruin A Beloved Attraction!

    Expedition Everlast Instead of a broken Yeti at the end, the train comes to a stop and you listen to a broken record of "What It's Like".

    Splash Mountain (MK) vs. Expedition Everest (DAK)

    When Splash is firing on all cylinders, it's arguably the best log flume on the planet. When EE is working, it's not even the best thrill roller coaster or family coaster in Florida.

    You can pose for the photo, have the photo taken, preview it on your phone, order an 8x10", and still have a few moments before you encounter the Yeti in the last tunnel.

    News The game arcade is set to return to Disney's Contemporary Resort

    From what I remember, it's equally as northeast to Orlando as WDW is southwest. So you have to go around Orlando. The joint is coin drop-based, meaning each game costs a certain amount of quarters/tokens, some more than others. There was a night where they did a "pay one price" but it was 1...

    News The game arcade is set to return to Disney's Contemporary Resort

    As someone who fully admits to my addiction to pinball (I have 6 machines myself, and 2 of my close friends have a combined 30+), I figured I'd chime in here with some info as I too would like pinball at Disney... but won't hold my breath. But there are alternatives! 1) I always heard...

    RUMOR!-Agent P's World Showcase Adventure being replaced.

    Though the use of a current IP which involves adventurous characters, used in a series of adventures around World Showcase at least seems like one of Disney's better IP-shoehorning attempts, I'd be heartbroken if Agent P leaves. Phineas and Ferb and the battle between Agent P and Doofenshmirtz...

    No more loose ice starting May 1

    It's not due to slip hazards, as Disney (whether via free ice cups or in fountain drinks) is providing loose ice inside the park at probably 10x the rate that loose ice is brought in. This must be because security can't see the bottom of containers with loose ice and can get pricked by something...

    Smoking areas GONE starting may 1st Pinned so people can still see the announcement.

    Wow. As someone who had a long, yet successful battle with quitting, and was a smoker during a few WDW trips (that path between Barnstormer and SM was my personal heaven... and it was quiet!) I just don't see how this can work. Disney doesn't want confrontation with guests. It not only angers...

    Do you think we could see 1 day ticket prices at $200 bucks before long?

    I'm sure that is, but I'd also be willing to bet that it's still not a high percentage of overall ticket sales. If you grouped the multi-day ticketers, I'd bet they far outweigh the single day. It's just that when breaking out the multi-day people into their respective 2-day...

    How would you make the Astro Orbiter better

    I never went on the Astro Orbiter until my last trip because I finally saw a line for it that was under 45 min (and it was only 15min which I can't ever recall seeing on my trips). It was a fun experience for my son and I. We took a few selfies that had some great park backgrounds... but my...

    News New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

    Oh, that's where the GOTG2 Roller Coaster's gravity building is going... smack dab in the middle of the park to draw your attention from the real one :)

    Space Mountain hurts me too much to ride it again until it's repaired. Anyone else feel this way?

    According to Screamscape, it looks as if it was new for the 2018 season. Shame it took, what, 20 years (?) for them to turn SLC's into an enjoyable experience.

    New Poll: Where to First- Splash and Big Thunder or Tron and Space Mountain?

    For us it was always Splash & BTMRR as those could be done quickly before crowds got too crazy. However, going in colder weather the past few times made me question why I wanted to get wet at 9am. Rope Dropping is like having a 4th FP when done correctly, and I didn't know why I was choosing...

    Space Mountain hurts me too much to ride it again until it's repaired. Anyone else feel this way?

    Actually, the new Vekoma vest-style restraints make SLC's an absolute enjoyable experience. Six Flags New England has these on their SLC and it's a much more smooth ride than SM. The new vest-restraints should be Federal Law for all SLC's yet to convert.
