smaller park? Who the heck do you think you’re talking to! Just kidding, that’s actually completely accurate. And yes people should be educated enough to trust and know the risk from 3D glasses. Key word should. This will definitely be a marketing/messaging issue. Once we figure out how to...

To answer the question of if we have a process in place, yes. We have a machine and the glasses are cleaned after every single use. The problem with the glasses is not a practical one, it’s a problem of guest perception. People who are being cautious (as they should be) will be hesitant to want...

So I can’t speak for Disney, but for the amusement facility I work for, we will be NOT using the glasses and cutting the show to one projector. All Snow, Fog, Rain, & Wind is also being cut. In short it will be a movie with some lighting FX. Real shame but it makes sense. Will only be temporary.

Let me brag for a second while we are nerding out over trains here. I recently had the awesome opportunity to watch Big Boy roll “his” way through Illinois. Was a sight to behold.

Roastis is probably the most inconsistent chain I’ve ever known. Some are good, some are tolerable, and some are good for nothing but toilet fodder. Just know that none of them are great and you can almost always do better.

I made an audible noise of excitement when I read this. While not the BEST beef Chicago has to offer, it’s the best and most fitting franchise to have in Disney Springs.

I also am lost on the argument that Tron doesn't "belong" in TL... really? I mean you can have your opinion but of all the projects, recent, current, and future, Tron is probably the least offensive in this regard.

In my time at Cedar Point, one of the best days was spent working on the CP&LE Railway. This was back in 2008 and 2009 and at the time there was an engine under a tarp in the back of the engine house. I remember asking what the deal was with that hidden engine, and being the curious cat I am, I...

^ I would argue that you still have Living with the Land. Even sans live spiel, it is still really close to the original ride. Barely anything has changed. I actually would be a big supporter of some sort of update to the screen portion of that ride. Quick! someone call Uni, we have some...

^Elevator shafts. at least that's my assumption.

100% correct. I once had a week-long debate with my boss over the math behind adding track length to a particular ride we had and how that wouldn't add "capacity". More people might be on the ride at a time but that doesn't mean they are getting on any faster. Ride capacity is directly...

But it at least embraced the central idea of future world, in being a large pavilion with one central theme, and several attractions to accompany it. It also was a complimentary addition architecturally.

This is one of the areas where I agree with how Universal does WWoHP. No costume characters of the main characters. You have to ride the attractions to see them. Plenty of other world building costumed characters but main characters are banned from appearing in the area. This is apparently one...

Surely the ride will include at least one, brief and subtle nod to GMR. What part of GMR would you like to see as an "Easter egg" ?

^ Just like how Frozen fits in Norway... :rolleyes:

"Blocks" on coasters are designated sections of the track that only one ride vehicle can occupy at a time. These are usually separated by block brakes but are also split by station brakes and lift/launch sections. This ensures if a ride vehicle stops for any reason the the ride vehicle behind it...

Yes, in theory you are correct. The problem is the current train design, which could very well change in the future. But as they are being built now, the trains are single seat, single row, 8 car trains. That is a lot of length and not a lot of people. Yes, I realize the current trains have...

Track is on site in CA. By the time a SF or CF park announce a coaster, there is very very little chance the ride will be cancelled. It's an interesting idea to replace SM track with newer raptor track. It is something that makes sense from a maintenance standpoint (way less welding and...

There is a lot that can be changed in terms of programing, whether it be for show or ride systems that can be changed. Much more involved than just "procedural" changes.

What came first the rocket rods tech or the TT tech?
