What?

Anything that physically moves and has guests move with it in a theme/amusement park is considered a ride. This is a fact. I’ve worked attractions in two completely different theme parks and was informed of this at each respective park during training.

Sounds like you weren’t aware of this fact. Now you are.

When I worked at Disney we didn't have rides. Everything was an "attraction" (Seriously that was actually emphasized during orientation, along with the fact it is never Disney or Disney World -- the "Walt" was mandatory. How times have changed....)

Agreed. I can't stand it when someone stumbles in here and starts saying they are going to "Disney" when they mean "Disneyland". The place deserves more respect than that.

In my experience that has been mostly an East Coaster thing. They tend to call WDW "Disney", while West Coasters stick with the traditional "Disneyland" for DLR. So if you hear someone call going to DLR as "going to Disney", I would guess they're probably from somewhere back East.

It's too bad you can't wait because it's going to be a while.

Well, I tried climbing over the wall but they stopped me. (disclaimer: no, that wasn't me lol)

So now I'm just like:

One minor difference in the Spider-Man ride in Paris vs DCA is the roof. Instead of a blue curve left over from the mural days, it's getting a bricked, triangular roof with logo. Also the building looks less like Circuit City in this concept.

So that building is designed to be that general size and shape because they made Spider-man fit into the Bug's life building.

A gable roof makes more sense than an arched roof in France. It’s a constant slop that can shed snow.

I’m curious to know if there’s anyone here who is stoked for this project...

Eh, but like anything else I'll reserve judgement until I experience it. I wasn't excited about the macaroni tower of terror but I enjoy it more than the original DCA ToT.

I feel it's okay to be excited about something in development. We're not deciding if we like it or not, just excited.

I was very excited about the opening of Cars Land, for example. I couldn't wait to see it in person and experience it. This project, on the other hand...

I agree, although “Disney” is better than “Land” and “World”. Who started that?

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

I love Disney Land. They have two parks, Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios.

Disneyworld has the animal and golf ball parks.

I'd really like to know who thought it was a good idea to have the Spiderman ride look like a repurposed Circuit City.

Seriously, no one thought to speak up about that in the planning meetings?

Six castle parks and they're all named "Disneyland" except for one.

Each castle park has none to three extra parks as part of its "resort." But their existence is often left out of the naming convention of "CityName Disneyland."

Only "Disney World" gives a naming convention that implies there's more there than the castle park.

Any attached hotel is called a 'resort.' But the whole parks and resorts complex is also called a 'resort'.

So... don't blame the guest for being confused.

No one is blaming a “guest.” I guess you would just assume that if someone made their way to a WDW magic chat fan site forum they would know the difference. Personally it’s just a small pet peeve to hear but I’m not losing any sleep over it.

and the difference between both of those and the one already in Orlando is the Orlando one is awesome and these are gonna suck.

There is only one true Disneyland. Everything else is poor imitation.

Technically only one is named “Disneyland.”

Kids today don't even know what Circuit City is.

Yeah, the least they could have done was make it resemble a BEST BUY.

Disneyland Update - It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Progress

It's been a lonely few months for the Disneyland Resort. The 65th anniversary for the original Magic Kingdom was largely uncelebrated since the park was closed. And even the recently reopened Downtown Disney was afraid

In fairness, it's only in WDW where every single hotel is a "Resort!" in the midst of a larger "Resort!". And all of them with a mandatory prefix of "Disney's", just to make it sound even more corporate and bland. Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, Disney's All-Star Sports Resort, Disney's Motel 6 Resort At Flamingo Crossing, etc., etc.

The nomenclature and naming convention out there in the swamps has been messy and sloppy and blandly corporate for decades now. It's why people out there talk about going to "Disney!" and it can mean anything and nothing all at once.

The Disneyland Resort has three hotels; Disneyland Hotel, Paradise Pier Hotel, Grand Californian Hotel. They're hotels.

Tokyo Disney Resort has three hotels; Hotel MiraCosta, Disneyland Hotel, Disney Ambassador Hotel. They're hotels.

They're pretty much doing the same thing with nomenclature in Paris, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. It's only at WDW where there's dozens of Resorts across a Resort and everything is Disney's.
