I’ve read elsewhere that the smokestack is typically removed during transport to get under the monorail beams.

I thought the latest "illustration" for Piston Peak showed a significant amount of water alongside the Frontierland boardwalk to about the spot where the Liberty Belle dock is located. I'd argue that a riverboat (even if a permanently docked one) adds to the ambiance of Liberty Square more...

I'd argue WDW in the late 2000s was in worse shape than it is in now. MK hadn't been touched other than a play area was put over what was once the Sub lagoon (which was closed and filled in due to cost). EPCOT was full of either closed pavilions and/or attractions that were all 10+ years out...

Iger said Disney was done building theme parks about 2 months before they announced Abu Dhabi. Piston Peak is coming. Villains is definitely a wait and see.

Since they supposedly aren't removing the Frontierland boardwalk or the dock to the Liberty Belle is there any chance they could re-dock it in its old location as a permanent fixture as part of Liberty Square?

I don't mind the Speedway. It's one of the few attractions where little kids actually feel that they have some control over the ride (being that the steering wheel and pedal actually do have some purpose within the ride). I'd hate for the Speedway to go. If they need Tomorrowland expansion...

I went to Knott's last week for the first time in about 35 years (last time was when I was 5 of 6 years old). It's a decent park. It's clearly not on the same tier as a Disney or Universal park (yet the pricing of $60/person with parking and all day drinks included was nice). The Calico / Ghost...

I went to USH on Thursday (for the first time, I believe, I might have gone there 30+ years ago as a child) and I've been to DHS multiple times so I believe I can finally chime in. As a theme park DHS wins by a significant margin. I believe it's got a better variety of attractions and shows and...

I'll mourn the loss of Monsters but as far as all of the recent Disney removals I'll mourn it the least. I was very impressed with how Disney handled Avatar at DAK and while Flight of Passage made me a bit queasy (I have mild motion sickness) the detail surrounding the attraction more than made...

SW will continue to exist in the next 5 years. They have too many valuable assets and dominate so many mid-tier markets that their total demise is highly unlikely. What they will lose are the loyal infrequent travelers that essentially only go to southwest.com or their app to book travel and...

For context, for myself, I consider myself a Disneyland "homer" as I live a 6 hour drive away from Disneyland and a 4 hour flight away from Walt Disney World. That being said, over the past year,, I have been to WDW twice (July 2024 1 day at the MK with my wife and kids and April 2025 for a 3...

I've been reading on other forums that the UAE parks are more showpieces than commercial successes. Some of the ride POV videos I've seen of some rides at the other UAE parks show almost deserted parks. I'm sure Disney Abu Dhabi will overtake Hong Kong as the least visited Disney park but I'm...

I was able to do that sometime in the 1990s. I still remember being in that cab as the monorail turned that bend through Future World at Epcot.

I agree that it needs to be refurbished. I don’t think it’s the worst version of the ride though as I prefer it to Disneyland’s by a large margin. I think as soon as Thunder reopens Space needs a refurb or the could do what Disneyland has been doing with the Matterhorn and slowly replace...

It's a fun ride. My kids liked it, I didn't mind it. Could it be better? Yes. However, after reading reviews of it I would've thought it was the worst Disney ride ever and it wasn't. Superstar Limo will always win that crown.

I was almost exclusively a Disneyland guy during the era of peak Fastpass. I remember the gates at DCA opening and litereally everyone sprinting to the Radiator Springs Racers Fastpass kiosk and then most of the crowd hopping over to Disneyland to snag Space Mountain. Those were the days.

I don't think it will be significant either. That was the point of my other posts (that might have gotten too political). The truth is most people aren't very hardcore political one way or another and, as long as there are significant enough discounts or incentives, they will continue to...

I rode the MK version for the first time this past Wednesday after having zero expectations. I last was at DL in October and it was only open for previews. After reading the reviews I was expecting to hate the MK version and, instead, I ended up loving it. It's NOT as good as Splash but it's by...

I went on the Liberty Belle yesterday for the first time. I loved the experience but I see why it is being eliminated. A lot of the material is a more out of date view of American history that the Disney company is trying to eliminate at the parks. In addition Adventureland, Fantasyland and...
