It's a barge that explodes in fire, of course people are going to scream. :lol:
If you set Main Street ablaze every night, I'm sure there would be a few yelps around.

I always hear lots of screaming and cheers for wishes...and it is okay to tear up at Wishes...many people do..though some do not admit it...
I prefer Wishes!

Hence, the better reaction.
Shock value is huge...and besides a FEW of the FL launches in Wishes, there's a severe lack of it. Remember in DL uses a ton of fire for IJA, and VERY close and large launches for Pirates and HM. Magical uses confettii and Dumbo. Tokyo's Castle catches on fire.

But if you use recognizable Disney music, people would easily be able to tell what's going on without a narration. Start playing villain songs and have scary fireworks, people will tell its the villain section. Start playing Disney love songs with prettier fireworks then people will tell its the romance section. Play "Wish upon a star" and people will tell its getting close to the finale. You don't really need Jiminy to say "OMFG!111 The villains are coming!!!1!"
In fact, I think Jiminy would work fine just as an announcer for the beginning and end.

It's cool. Everybody has that one thing that seems universally loved and they can't for the life of them figure out why. This is mine.

I stuck in some of my own comments amongst yours with red text. I had my own started over in General Discussion but you obviously drag crowds better than I do. So, I just said my piece here.
My thoughts on MK.....yes, it will need help. FL won't provide the competition Univ will get with WWOHP - even though they think this is their answer.
Well...
1) 5 minute wait for stitch all day today. Time to gut that building and put in a similar D show or some kind of dark ride (if it fits - no idea). Or simply go back to the non-PC Alien Encounter. Tell the kiddies to go cry on Snow White and let us big kids have a fun and thrilling show for once.
2) I have high hopes for Mermaid's new ride. That and all the princess messes around the place will bring some cohesion and hopefully attract the right demographics back to the park to take their little princes and princesses to see their namesakes.
3) Tree House to Tarzan. No, not very relevant anymore, and kind of silly, but it's 100 steps above what they have now. Nobody in my generation (or below) even know who the Robinsons were, or even the story behind the treehouse. Tarzan can be tamed down (color-wise, much unlike the flying carpets) and made to fit nicely in the tree with a little remodeling.
4) Plus/refurb CBJ
5) Tiki needs another new manager.
6) Come up with a REAL attention-getter for the TL stage. Not Stitch. Nothing lame. Something big and fun and bold. It's Tomorrowland....use the prices for a change and turn them into futuristic princes (new costumes) who play music and dance. Put on a music/dance/comedy show using far-out music on classic Disney songs. Yeah, this is a pretty lame idea, but I'm trying to think of ANYTHING they can use that expensive stage for that will actually draw crowds out of rides for more than 3 min.
7) More Streetmosphere. DHS kills with it. They had 3 groups out at one time this afternoon, and they were all 3 entertaining, funny and drew crowds.
Just things off the top of my head after a long frozen day at the parks. They all need to be analyzed by experts and thrown away, perhaps in reverse order.

Fanmade idea, but one that definitely works. It's fun to try and make sense of the Disney universe/cosmology/whatever.

Doesn't this completely ruin the whole 100% family-friendly vibe MK has? Maybe I'm odd, but I like how ever person (well, maybe not babies) in the family can ride ever ride there. :shrug:
Now everytime I see a presumably dead villain I will silently thank Hades in my head. :lol::sohappy:
I'm going to give my next park update before responding to some of your guys responses.
Disney's Hollywood Studios
Other than having the worst name out of the lot, DHS has ascended to the rank of my favorite park. It's so much more alive than any of the other three with Streetmosphere, Mulch, Sweat, and Shears, and just the abundance of entertainment.
Toy Story is still a heck of a lot of fun, but I still think it needs to get rid of Fastpass. Also, A LOT of the 4-D effects were broken, most notably in Bow Peep's game.
I finally got to see Luxo!:sohappy: Wow, what a great piece of engineering there. Really adds a lot to the area. Unfortunately I didn't get to see the nighttime show, but I'll do that the next time I'm down.
Monsters Inc is still on the burner, as far as I've been told.
Tower is a close runner up for best ride on property.
GMR gets better and better every time I ride it.
Didn't waste our time on American Idol or Lights, Motors, Action!
Indy is still a huge crowd pleaser, and packs in the crowds.
Muppets was looking really blurry. That change over to digital can't come soon enough. But the show still kills every time. Kids and adults were cracking up in the preshow and the main show.
Star Tours is still great, and I can't wait for the new one and it's multiple beginnings, middles, and ends.
Watched a little bit of Block Party, and as nice as it is, I feel like it's really out of place in DHS.
Went into the animation building for a few pics with the Up! characters.
The BAH really needs to go, along with the BLT.
Fant! was great as always, but I really think Pocahontas needs to be replaced with something.
My general thoughts/musings on the park:
When Star Tours is done, DHS will have 3 top flight E-tickets(ToT, GMR, and STII), an underwhelming one(RnRc), and a great D ticket(TSMM). If Monsters happens, as I think it will, that will round out the park with another D ticket, but personally I think it needs a few smaller draws. I think Sounds Dangerous would be the perfect place to bring over a show like Cinemagique! Also, I'd really like to see Playhouse Disney replaced by a Phineas and Ferb show or attraction.
I've heard a rumor that Star Tour's queue will be heavily reworked, and that the changes to the Muppets preshow will be extensive.

Back burner, far back, I've heard. Nice to hear something more positive, though...Seeing that you are a but more connected than I.

A fave, yes.

Nor did we!

I do NOT like those two rumors, at ALL. :fork:
Great and comprehensive TR, though!
Yea...the change of the Muppets preshow is really more of a worry to me. It would be like updating Star Wars with today's technology...
Wait...they did that!?:lol:

You know what I'm worried about...:lol:
They can easily keep MUCH of the spirit and look of these attractions AND update, without killing off what originally made the attraction sparkle.
I just hope they get rid of the fake movie set feel of Star Tours...
I hate it.

If you would have said that before December 20th, I would have agreed. However, this past trip, I was able to appreciate those details a bit more, and it DOES make sense.

If they do change it, I'm hoping its nothing more than a few cameos of some of the newer muppets characters inter-edited with the old preshow and that's it.

That Muppets preshow is sheer genius, and more entertaining than a lot of actual attractions. They should tread lightly with any alterations.
I'll reply to your red text first.
On Splash Mountain, yes, it always looks depressing without water in it. As for the logs, if I had to guess, I'd say that they may be preparing for the lap bar instillation next year. Or everyone I talked to about the refurb was wrong.:lol:
Yes, the Jungle Cruise has been getting digital animation controls. As for the skipper you got...I know. It stinks. But there's nothing that can be done as long as they insist on having ICPs work the Jungle.
Actually, CBJ went really well with guests the two times I saw it.
I know MILF has different shows, but I've never seen that one you're talking about.
Exactly.
I can't agree here. I'm really tired of all the cartoon characters taking over the MK
Definitely, but I don't see it happening anytime soon.
Truth
Exactly. Streetmosphere is just everything Disney should be.
