Funny how anyone can walk into an In n’ Out or a Chick-Fil-A and encounter—consistently—some of the friendliest, most professional, most enthusiastic employees in the country. No excuses, no B.S., just a lot of good people with self respect getting paid a decent wage for the hard work they do.

Black Cauldron would be great for a live action remake! Also Treasure Planet. Gerard Butler as Silver.

If it was a brand new build but still had the same pre-school level story, bland repetitiveness and still shoved most of the cast of PatF aside in favor of a bunch of sappy-looking generic animals, I would be just as disappointed as I am now. In fact, I’d be more disappointed because that would...

It would be so great if Disney put up a huge billboard for TBA featuring the tagline: “It’s fine.”

Ok, this answered a couple of questions; raised some more. 😄 Worth watching to hear Gerard Butler say “Welcome to Berk” at the end.

It takes time. How long all depends on how bad things get, value-wise. And how good the competition gets. And how quickly a company can pivot when they realize a mistake has been made. I think the message is already reaching millions of people (not through me, of course, just from people going...

Just pointing out that this is the reality. Until enough people stop paying for something, there is no reason for a corporation to change course. Things will just continue along the “charge more for less” road.

Has the absence of those free live shows stopped enough people from going to the parks to cause beancounter concern? Are adults still willingly lining up to pay high prices for exclusive nighttime entertainment events? Are many fans praising and defending TBA for being “good enough”? Vote...

What really strikes me as odd is how Toothless looks more or less exactly as he does in the animated films—It almost looks like the live actor is playing against the original animated performance, though of course I’m assuming it’s all been freshly animated with the upgraded Toothless design...

I’m totally fascinated by this project. I generally hate live action remakes, but… this is my favorite movie they’re tackling— with the original director and a major actor returning—so I’m very curious to see a different take on this world. The trailer’s gotten over four million views in just a...

I don’t like the idea of de-aging a main character’s actor for the entirety of a film. Gerard Butler is there because… perfect timing in his age/career. I do kind of agree with you in that this film will live or die based on whether the new take on Hiccup works anywhere near as well as Jay...

42 year old Jay Baruchel in the role of teenage Hiccup would make a great SNL sketch…

Seeing as the animated HTTYD is my all-time favorite animated film, I’ve never had a more mixed reaction to a trailer than I had to this. I mean… What’s there looks spot-on with the three main characters, but… but… Toothless looks exactly the same… which is… both a relief and a disappointment...

I agree it wasn’t as bad as the PR made it sound. My opinion after riding the MK version, though: I found it bland, repetitive and forgettable. And as a big fan of PatF, it blew my mind that they could take the characters from such a fun movie and saddle them with an “adventure” (does Disney...

Universal Orlando: Epic Universe in May! Fight evil wizards! Fly with dragons! Flee from Dracula! We’ve got a coaster that’ll turn you into a werewolf! Disney: Help Tiana find animal musicians… for her party… for all her food co-op friends… because… magical wish special wonder happy? Dream a...

I think it could be rethemed to OT Tatooine without unreasonable cost. Better yet, though, retheme it to a catch-all scifi/fantasy village for properties like Treasure Planet, Black hole, Atlantis— Even Kingdom Hearts. Even better: Discovery Bay at long last. 😃

I love this focus on the portals as a way of giving the park a unique identity. 😃

Stardew Valley, if you don’t mind the pixel art style. It’s a very solid, charming game. Dreamlight Valley is slick, but for me the gameplay quickly got tedious. If it’d had roller coasters, I might’ve been able to overlook that. 😃

The moment in Planet Coaster 2 when you discover these two pieces… … and realize you can attach them to *anything*…

IMO, Universal Orlando does it better too. Placed my order on my phone, walked into Three Broomsticks, sat at a table, entered table #, food arrived in about 3 minutes. Perfect. BTW, you can get a side of scrambled eggs for 2.99 at 3 Broomsticks. Delicious and a hefty serving. This could be the...
