Agreed! They just spent all that money specifically trying to rework the theme of the park, going so far as to completely rework the front entrance (something they've never done before), and tie it into a loose theme of vintage California. They just re-opened this a YEAR ago, and they already...

Quick note: The Life of Pi VFX award winners were just about to mention the bankruptcy of Rhythm and Hues, the studio that did the VFX work for the film. It was really unfortunate that the comments were lost under the Jaws theme. Basically, the VFX artists who won the film the award all lost...

A "sit" in? Don't you mean a "sh.....nevermind.

Every time they add something to that area of Hollywood Studios and don't take the opportunity to fix the layout, it makes me sad. It is such a jumbled mess that was never properly designed for foot traffic, and I can't believe they've let this go so long. It has been almost 25 years!!!

Then you agree! Sad.

Yep, had the same experience (though I do like Mermaid). I think the biggest error in my mind is advertising this great new land, only to find that a giant construction wall can be seen EVERYWHERE throughout the land, even closing off a major thoroughfare. Every time I saw the forest-like...

Then wouldn't it be better all around if they just made great, unique attractions for each resort? I think a huge reason people are excited for Cars Land to come to Florida is because WDW hasn't been creating attractions of their own of that caliber, and it is easier to point at something that...

You are missing nothing by skipping Cars 2. It is the only truly bad film the studio ever made. I will say I am very intrigued and excited to hear that Teddy Newton is slated to direct one of their upcoming films! That is good to hear. A lot of IOA looks kind of outdated to me compared to the...

Dude, that video is hilarious. I have to agree.

Ok. The main point of the post was comparing the anomaly of John Lasseter's influence on Cars Land to the unique situation of JK Rowling's influence on Potter. I regret posting that last part because it is all anyone has commented on yet.

If Cars 2 and Brave have been any indication, my hopes are not high for Monsters U. They really need to get back on the ball... As long as I possibly have your attention by quoting your post Spirit, I wanted to ask you a question based on something you said on the previous (now obsolete?)...

Bringing this thread back up for a moment. I was there recently and saw just how close that building is to the pavillion. Forget the construction part. Just having that building there with all the nosy families having an eagle eye's view of the wedding pavillion right next door seems like a...

That is great that they are adding those updates, but I don't know if it compares to simply making a brand new attraction with AAs that are more advanced. I don't think Disney (or any park for that matter) has properly updated the classic dark ride to coincide with the advancements in...

I agreed with you until you compared it to DL's. Disneyland has a lot of great, classic, charming dark rides, but none of them are really any more advanced than MK's, in my opinion. They do have a lot more, though. From what I've seen in video (and someone who's been there could verify...

Completely agree. Holograms sound cool, but the lack of quality updates to AA technology is no reason to cast them off completely.

:( Join the discussion!

I love the black light effects of the older dark rides (hey, that's why they are called dark rides!). I wish they had done some modern version of this on Mermaid. I agree, I love the attractions that have you in your own little car separate from others in the attraction. Actually, although I...

But how is it that Mermaid does this any less than Peter Pan or Winnie the Pooh or Snow White? I'm not trying to give you guys a hard time, I just hear a lot of conclusions being said without any specific details. Like, if I were an imagineer who had helped design Mermaid, what specifically...

Again, can you provide specifics?

That is interesting, because I had the exact opposite experience with my girlfriend at DCA. She wanted to get back on the ride right after we got off. Also anecdotal, but also says something. Is there anything specific you can point to? For instance, I wish the Mermaid ride had done more...
