The hardest part about these parks is folding the maps so that way the actual map isn't on the outside.

I went on the Tomorrowland track of the Matterhorn and got a migraine lol! Just got off RSR for the 4th time! I like the Indy in Tokyo better by a slight amount because the projectile scene had 3D set pieces and not cardboard cutouts. I also did the Cardboard Classics. I think the PP (haha) in MK is better bc of the 3D London and the huge Neverland. Alice was by far the best cardboard classic.

RSR was worth the plane tickets from Birmingham to John Wayne, admission, and hotel all by itself. Amazing ride.

Portlander here! Welcome to my state. I apologize for the clouds today Which beach are you at?

Havent seen weird stuff? I heard a Grimm hunts around Portland!

 

[PizzaPlanet]

Splash Mountain here is like a crazy acid trip. Holy crap. Magic Kingdom wins hands down.

That "Burrow's Lament" scene before the drop is so strange lol.

They're not even going to build original hotels anymore. Sad day for Disney fans who don't lap up the kool-aid.

Are you really citing the backlot tour and Ellen as E-Tickets?

Large out of the box style rides with elaborate sets. Whatever you want to call them, you can't just ignore that the new rides are going where they were.

All 3 of those attractions are way passed their prime.

Obviously you can't ignore that, it's a fact that new attractions are replacing old. But you called them E-Tickets, and it's more than a stretch to classify any of those as such. I love the parks of old but things need to change and evolve. The alternative is that the resort dies.

They took the easy and shortsighted approach to two of the three. UOEs traveling theater and GMR both could have easily been updated and would remain D/E tickets. Both of those rides had opportunity but instead we get Iger IPs replacing them.

BLT I only included because they aren't just adding rides and expanding, they're replacing which to me is not exactly the same.

Backlot Tour was an e-ticket... in 1989. I rode it that year and yes, it was very impressive and large scale with the show stops at Catastrophe Canyon, Dick Tracy cop and robber interaction and other things. When they cut the New-York streets from the ride and made it much shorter is when the ride stopped being an e-ticket in my opinion. It became all about Residential Street and Catastrophe Canyon and when you lost one of those...

Catastrophe Canyon was always tough to maintain and the ride did lose two fire spots since 1989. That it lasted as long as it did was a miracle!

1990 was a different time for the Walt Disney Company.

I don't think Disney as a company can appreciate what they have in the parks.

They're like that family that has very expensive furniture but rather than have it reupholstered/restained and breathe new life into quality items they'd rather just go buy the hot new thing at IKEA because it's cool and hip. Some of the decisions that they've made just baffle me and seem so shortsighted.
