Pooh's Playground @ MK -> The Little Mermaid Ride (or just rebuild 20k)

Your sentiment encapsulates my thoughts exactly. Too many recent rides have tie-ins to movies and lack the imagination, scale and budget of rides like Horizons. Maybe what's coming up with Spaceship Earth and the Imagination rehab will help bring the glory back. I'm hopeful...

Yeah, from the sky those canopies do have that "Mardi Gras" feel to them. The triangular shapes are echoed in the pavement design....I wonder if that will change as well. I'm looking forward to the throwback feel to Epcot again! For my taste it doesen't have to be stripped down to be great...

...and I know I'm biased, but I adore this ride and would love to see it live on forever! ..even if it means a refurb similar to what we'll probably witness at the Haunted Mansion (Digital audio, enhancements, new scene..etc) whatever helps it live on. Just don't ever take away the...

During my training I was told that the reason the tornado scene was scrapped was due to liscencing issues (with MGM I believe). Disney was only allowed a certain amount of time for guests to spend in "The Wizard of Oz" ( something like 2 minutes) so the tornado scene was cut because they would...

I have a love/hate relationship with the hat. I hate its concept, and I hate the way it looks at the end of the street- blocking the prettier, more fabulous and more Hollywood Chinese Theatre behind it. But I love it because I believe it solved a tricky icon problem. It saved the Chinese...

I love it..I love it! Great progress- looking better already. Now, If we could just do something about those gravestones......

What someone can afford vs. what someone else can afford will always vary. The point is that Disney is playing with the big numbers: $3-4 a person times x number of guests visits a year is huge money. Like most of you, I hate slimy buisness tactics to make extra bucks- like the way I felt when...

This is brilliant! I've always tried to figure out why I've found Test Track to be good but not great. It's all a bit too familiar isn't it? I can put my car through any of those tricks where I live- except the belgian blocks. I think the vehicles and the Track is great. Now it's time to...

I agree as well. I'd love to keep the track and instead remaster the effects and look of the ride while keeping the essence of Space Mountain. This ride has always been a bit mysterious and otherworldly. I sat here and imagined myself on this ride as is. What makes it special? Certainly...

I agree. As long as it's done with loving care (ie Winnie the Pooh, Philharmagic, etc.) MGM will have a welcome winner on it's hands. This appears to be the first attraction of it's kind at MGM a la Fantasyland. if they can work in the idea of bringing Toy Story Movies or at least their...

GMR has been my domain as a CM for some time now. Up until a few years ago, vehicles would be pulled of the tracks in sets creating what we call the "bubble" (music ends-doors open- and there's no vehicles on dock). Then this was changed. Now just the front vehicles (A Western) would be pulled...

Did I see Los 3 Caballeros? Probably a looong time ago. You know I thought about this ride a little more today- and I'm going to be a little more kind about my impression of it. World Showcase is not a typical kid favorite- the many exhibits and films/attractions are more for the adults- the...

Oh no... Hey all this is my 1st post. Nice to meet everyone. I figured this might be a good place to start. I'm a Disney purist and a CM in my late 20's. I of course grew up with Epcot Center, and I have strong feelings about the way things have been going lately in this park- particularly...
