A Spirited Perfect Ten

[Next Big Thing]

I am thinking terrible capacity too. There are only 2 blocks, so three trains at a time max. And the length doesn't appear to be much longer than 7DMT.

Ehhh, I think it seems considerably longer than SDMT. There's no dark ride scene and I expect it to be going fairly consistently at 35mph+, possibly hitting 40, unlike SDMT. So it should feel like a fairly quick, yet mildly thrilling coaster.

And I don't mean "mildly" in a bad sense. I think the track layout has a lot of decent aspects to it that should make it fun.

I like the rocking at the top of the first lift hill and the bunny hops after the launch.

I see the comparisons coming already. I'll just kick back and enjoy all the great things that's coming to both resorts. Except....... Well, you know.....

Well you will get to visit new attractions at at least ONE of the Orlando parks, We have ANNOUNCEMENTS from TWDC, But as of yet no CONSTRUCTION, Let me know if it starts sometime in the next decade or so.

Nintendo is just an announcement too. No construction. FYI.

Any doubt that Nintendo will open first even though they are both just announcements at this point?

No doubt. Just pointing out that Nintendo is also only an announcement at this point.

With Disney attendance where it is, there doesn't seem to be any urgency for Disney to rush. The announcement itself generates excitement. I've seen people comment on social media, "We have to plan a trip!" When I point out that these plans won't be complete for 5 years (at least), it doesn't dim their enthusiasm - they still want to plan a trip. Why... I have no idea. Maybe they're a fan of construction walls.

It doesn't make a lot of sense. But we Disney fanatics surely understand our passion for the mouse isn't necessarily logical.

It makes a ton of sense when you look at it. Disney pulled off a major PR win this past weekend. With it people that have not thought about a trip or planned a trip back to WDW are now seeing stuff on all media and are thinking hey we need to make a trip.... It just build excitement for the overall product and if it pushes 5% to make a decision to take a trip in the next 5 years that is a huge huge plus for the resort.

Fair point, That said Kong IS going vertical. So TPWMNBN has the lead on 'new' attractions.

That 5 percent will go even if none of the announcements ever are built. So the finely tuned Disney PR machine has indeed done it's job.

These are on top of those people... these are people that had no intention of going but the hype now has them thinking...

 

[Cesar R M]

Considering that ground breaking is still a long ways off, I'm not concerned. Gotta think there's more.

yeah, plenty of themed bathrooms to visit!

lets just hope this doesn't lead to the infamous mine train type " announcement of an announcement of a possible soon to be opened ride" .

What? Also, Kong is way past vertical.

Check out my thread in the Uni section sometime

Yep. Some pretty exciting announcements and as a die-hard Disney fan I will love to see all of the new attractions. I put it on my calendar today to plan a trip with my family for 2020. I might have grandchildren by then that will help justify it.

parks blog did a run down of the details on the revamped norway pavilion. allow me to make you want to lose your lunch (stuff in parenthesis added by yours truly):

“We’re confident that this attraction will bring more guests to the Norway pavilion (DUH) and increase their interest and knowledge of Scandinavian (when we say Scandinavian, we really mean made up, fairyland place where the common link essentially boils down to SNOW) culture, just as the World Showcase was intended to do (...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA).”

for anyone who was in epcot from 1982 to the late '90's, how can you read this drivel and not be insulted?

Whoever wrote that needs to take a trip. Back, back, over the falls.
