No way. I love DisneyQuest, I keep hyping it as the 5th Theme Park (I wish Disney would). Sounds like it's had some decline in food options and maintenance (like the parks). But it's still amazing. Yea, maybe not quite $50-without-a-discount amazing, but it's something you can't get...

Digital IMAX is actually a big hit to resolution, the screen door effect is very pronounced even on the tiny "LieMAX" retrofits around where I live. Yes, the upside is you won't get scratches and degradation over time, but IMAX digital has a long way to go. Though I'm not holding my breath on...

I disagree. A lap bar ensures everyone uses it. As previously said, you're not going to have significant horizontal motion anyway. And in my opinion, a LOT more comfortable and sanitary than seat belts. And faster load/unload. (As long as it's not the lap bars on the old Universal Back to...

We made a plexiglass cutout photo at the photo store of my dad posing with Jessica Rabbit for his birthday, back when those were popular. As the co-creator of a redhead social network, I'd really like to have the opportunity to take a photo with Jessica, she has quite a following among us...

Don't punish the real guests People who get out of the logs need to be kicked out of the park - end of story. If they did that, and didn't pander to these fools, there wouldn't be nearly as much problem. 99.99% of guests don't get out of the logs. On Splash Mountain I wouldn't worry as...

You might be thinking of the spiel they do about Big Thunder Mountain on the Liberty Belle (or is it the park train?) Something along the lines of: ------------------ The name big thunder was originally attributed to the sound of flash floods by the natives who lived there, and not really...

I think I've been in the former FedEx Space Mountain lounge, rather quickly... AAA fed us this line when we still used them for booking stuff. "Oh, you'll get access to a lounge in the park so you can rest a bit in this exclusive thing with this deal we have." Well, we hunted around and...

Binaural Recording is Awesome! Binaural recording is amazing and underused. "Stereo" audio is a far cry. I have a feeling most people going into the attraction don't really understand the technology. See, not only do your ears work to create range and directional cues using the two...

I agree the current layout is cramped, but I think long lines are a testament to it being a popular place. Germany, China, Mexico, and U.K. really are the only pavillions with quick service aren't they too? (U.S. as well, but why eat there when I have almost a dozen nations around).

Cantina del San Angel Rocks! Been to both South Texas and Mexico (didn't eat in Mexico itself though). More so, have eaten a lot in Arizona and New Mexico at family establishments. Was quite sad to see Don Pablos eaten by Baja del Sol here. Though we discovered a local immigrant/2nd-gen...

I think it looks really good! My mom made me a Dreamfinder costume in the 3rd grade, complete with a fake hand so I could operate Figment. I hope to find the pictures someday soon.

"Wow, wow, wow!" Kinetics, energy, draftboards for writing Lockers, data cards, robots for riding This sounds perfect. And they bested Cyberspace Mountain by simply provided lockers! (duh) Everytime I ride, there's some loose change in the cabin and I'm worried about my own pockets...

Wow, I was going to ask lots of questions (wait, high ISO, but..., oh right, because of blah, blah, but...) I think I finally see how you did it. Good golly. So good. :) Wow, that's one of those cameras with ISO 3200, whew. These new ones with ISO 24,000 really blow my mind...

My guess would be battery life more than anything. If the idea is to play games in the queue to pass time, you're going to need a good 10 hour battery at least, and that'll take time to recharge overnight, every night. Maybe when ultracapacitors become more commonplace. You'd be able to...

Sounds like a decent idea, but I fourth the notion to open up the vacant CS's. Especially the Noodle Station. Soooo much room, and the best food in MK, I'd say. Last trip on the last day, ex-girlfriend and I specifically ate lunch early there on the way out to Epcot when we saw it was open -...

Holograms they should have Some technology I hope to see in an iteration of IllumiNations someday: After all the fuss of Princess Leia holograms, the fact that Japanese researchers cracked the problem of free-floating holograms hasn't been sung from rooftops really surprises me...

Classic case of this:

My thoughts exactly. Really glad this thread came along and nice to see the full list of what's gone, Martin. My similar Maelstrom & Dinosaur: Reduced Effects & Calmer Ride thread drew about 30% responses that I had just imagined it all as being better and it was all in my head. So many...

Great article. So the screen is smaller. I swear they didn't increase the slope of the seats from what it already was though, maybe it was already "acceptable." I'm torn between trying sitting farther back or just never going back to an IMAX lite. Very disappointing. I agree, WDW has to...

I love this, especially the west side building heights. At the risk of reading too much into it... so was Horizons shorter than WoM? Either way, on East side you have the progression of raw energy, dreams, and practical engineering.
