Wikipedia and RCDB both disagree. Sure, it's a controlled spin on a profile which is unlike most (but not all) spinners, but the coaster trains still spin. If we're going to get into these kinds of semantics, we'll have to discuss TOT's status as a drop tower as well. It doesn't drop with...

I've been looking through old posts in this thread in disbelief and frustration. We were talking about this thing operating seasonally in 2016. It gave an unceremonious final show at the beginning of 2018, a rushjob was done to strip the animatronics within a few months and then... nothing. As...

And even if what was Mando Season 4 is condensed into this movie which is unclear, there's still the issue of Ahsoka Season 2 as you said, as well as any other "Filoni-verse" shows that might tie-in between now and release. I fell off Mando after S2 (well really BoBF), and I know I'm not the...

The questions you posed in the first place are nonsense, though. I'm no expert, but I'd bet money that the question "what is the exact proper ratio between IP-based and non-IP-based attractions that we should hit?" has never been asked by anyone working at the Disney Parks in its entire history...

The Yeti did, at least. I want it to be fixed as much as the next guy because it being down absolutely hurts the overall experience of the ride. But the Yeti figure being static doesn't impact Everest's story, which is what I'm talking about. Are you implying that the Yeti being static made...

I think the big issue a lot of us have with Disney's insistence on IP-based attractions is timelessness. McCarthy claims the desire to use IP "that really resonate(s) with our customers." But if there's one constant in pop culture, it's that it's ever-changing. It's human nature that as a...

Generally RMCs are smooth but violent, mainly in airtime. If that's fine to you and positive Gs are your main issue, you should be okay on most if not all of them. On Gwazi specifically, I consistently greyed out at the bottom of the first drop, but that's the only moment like it on the ride...

I remember not long ago thinking the days of Disney abandoning spaces in the parks were behind us. Sure, some of the ones that were already abandoned from the mid-2000s were still there, but we weren't getting new ones. For the most part the Iger era at least saw Disney fill up spaces it closed...

Point taken that both properties shouldn't represent one singular land together for the reasons you state. It was ignorant of me to group them as one land with each other and I won't in the future. However, I believe this is all the more reason to include both (as separate lands) in an...

I think the Encanto + Coco idea is pretty smart, mainly if they represent their own land. Frontierland is meant to be the American frontier, so expanding southward to Mexico then further to Colombia could create a reasonable transition. At the same time, these are films that lean heavily on...

I never said that it wouldn't. There isn't a guarantee that it will. There is nothing to look forward to, because nothing has actually been funded yet. Therefore, no official announcement.

Blue Sky concepts and spitballing. They stressed that it was such multiple times.

I really was getting excited. "Alright, sweet, this is when the show really starts." There's no way that wasn't intentional. It felt downright malicious. "Yeah, we have nothing to show today but we're gonna make you feel like we're about to since you were so stupid to tune in."

But that's exactly the issue. It's nothing more than an idea of what "could" be. And it just got presented as such on a professional convention stage by leadership of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate. Meanwhile, a number of other projects that have broken ground and have started construction...

Meanwhile, there is still a prominent, vacant attraction building at the front of Tomorrowland, at the front of the Magic Kingdom, that has been in that state for several years now. We have interior demolition permits for said building, so work has actually been done on it. We still have no...

This was the one good announcement today. It's a clone of an animatronic that's been in DL's HM for years. What is happening right now.

It's astonishing how bare this presentation was considering the number of postponed (or presumably cancelled now, I suppose) projects from last D23 that we somehow still know nothing about. And despite that, we devoted a whole section of this professional presentation to spitballing? What is...

Charging ports in a "decompression zone" are such an important point. If Disney wants guests to use their phones for everything in the parks including obtaining quick-service food, they better have plenty of spots to charge those phones. This would've been a perfect opportunity to put in some...

Oh, this is wonderful. This is a vast improvement over the 2009 narration. It actually feels like world-building instead of advertisements. I especially like "To your right is the Astro Orbiter, our celestial symbol of interplanetary harmony and fellowship." I'm astonished to hear anything like...

A lengthy 2016 refurb saw added screens to replace the Compsognathus jumping across the vehicle effect that was turned off early in the ride's life. The lighting was also tweaked in ways that enhance or detract from the experience depending on who you ask. And it restored the Iguanadon's net...
