A Spirited Perfect Ten

Nope Just inserting the blu Ray disc initiates a check and key update process, so just buying new content is sufficient to screw you over, it's why I don't have Blu Ray I don't want content that can vanish on a whim

I rip all my BR on to my pc anyway....there stores in an encrypted folder
The Oscars lost all credibility when it gave Michael Moore'on Best documentary for Bowling for Columbine. When you edit several interviews together to make it say what you want it to say it is no longer a documentary, it is fiction.


This +1 plus he's just an idiot the only thing he is good at is expressing his views.

Back in Ohio, 19 Action News in Cleveland at least has embraced their role as all sensationalism all the time. Plenty of on camera knocking on people's doors that don't want to comment. It's surprisingly entertaining. But they are in your face about how edgy they are.

Some of us with journalism degrees are still trying to do things the right way. You need to head down 71 about 2 hours and look for the giant "10".

It was priced as such to more quickly recover AA r&d expenses
I believe it also had something to do with where the money for it came from - my understanding is that Walt Disney invested a good amount of his own money, not his company's money, in the development of the attraction. Hence the title "Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room"; no other Disneyland attraction ever gave Walt top billing like that, because he never personally invested. It existed outside the ticket system because the way it needed to pay off it's capitalization was different than everyone other Disneyland attraction, not because they wanted to denote that the show somehow achieved a grade higher than an A+, so to speak.

Several attractions were personally owned by Walt Disney but they were still part of the ticket system. Tickets had a cash price and the Tiki Room was more expensive than an E Ticket.

I just DESPISE DRM systems they will all be cracked, even the 'unbreakable' Cinavia has been thoroughly defeated. In the end and the ONLY people DRM systems end up hurting is ordinary people who play by the rules, Just price the product realistically like iTunes did with the .99 cents/track in the US and the vast majority of people will happily pay for content, The remainder NEVER will and those 'lost' sales which the industry kvetches about were never real in the FIRST place.

That being said I don't buy Blu Ray because I don't choose to support revocable media and these days there is not much coming out that I want anyway and my Farjouda upscaler does a pretty good job of improving visuals on DVD to 1080i

Isn't a B ticket, generally speaking, equivalent to a spinner? If anyone is using B ticket as a qualifier, I would keep your expectations in check accordingly for the JP addition.
I've heard the JP addition referred to as a C or even a C+ ticket ride. Never heard it referred to as a B-ticket.
I'm expecting something on the level of a mini 7 Dwarves Mine Train or cheaper dark ride.

I'm thinking they could do something like Turtle Talk, where you're interacting live with a dinosaur the other side of a screen perhaps? That should be small scale, easy to add in, but more interesting than a flat ride would be.

A C+ ticket would be far better. A mini-SDMT esque Amber Mine coaster and Discovery Center repurposed as a mini-Omnimover would be the best way to go with that area IMO. It would give people something to do beyond JPRA (and technically Kong but not really) in JP.

That should be in addition to a flat. Maybe add it as a post-show for a Discovery Center dark ride? The Trikes plot shouldn't be used solely for a interactive, kid-centric show especially since JP lacks anything for adults to do from September-March or if they don't like getting wet in theme parks.

I still buy Blu-ray because of the outstanding audio and video quality. Of course, they immediately get ripped with MakeMKV, stored on my 10 TB media server, and streamed to all of the media players in my house over my wired CAT6 gigabit network. It's good to be an IT guy. ;)

As am I, I design very large networks for service providers etc, I refuse to buy protected media on principle

Oh I hate DRM as much as the next guy. I still buy CDs because they are easy to rip to a lossless format and then store the original disc somewhere. But for video there just aren't any non-DRM sources of high quality HD video of recent movies out there.

I find your quick dismissal much crazier. after all when we reach a point when only one opinion is socially correct we are no longer free.

I wasn’t referring to one post, it was a series of posts that demonstrated a certain line of thinking. It was hardly quick. Also I happen to work in the field that was being discussed so I have a pretty good understanding of what is true and what is incorrect. I am not the kind of person that makes rash generalizations. Anyway that topic died days ago, but I at least wanted to address your concern.

I agree that we need to hear multiple sides of issues. People tend to be more closeminded than they used to. There are also a lot of opinions out there that based on uninformed internet columns and hearsay Those also need to be called out.
