Cuts coming to every area of parks and resorts - thanks to Shanghai and Paris

[oceanbreeze77]

I'm a girl, but other steeplechase coasters were never overly comfortable for me.

never overly comfortable or uncomfortable?

Ok, love the Tron Ride, we need that in Futureworld. Peter Pan, it just speaks volumes to the amount of things they could do with some digital projection on the current rides.
Pirates...WOW, best use of animatronics and screens I have seen yet, I prefer the original storyline though.

Why in the world would Tron go in Future World? Not to mention our redo of Test Track was a clear test for the superior ride in Shanghai.

For fun?

 

[MonkeyHead]

And it would fit the theme of Epcot, how? It would be perfectly appropriate for Tomorrowland.

But sure, let's put a Tron coaster in Future World right next to Test Track that has nearly the same visual interior theming.

Not that appropriate for the theme is stopping them lately...

Tomorrowland...future world. It's all the same.

I get rather wordy after a few glasses of wine...

Seems to me that the use of screens and digital projection has been derided fairly frequently on these boards, yet you are extolling their virtues. As guests, we need to decide what we really want.

Why would Guardians of the Galaxy go in Tower of Terror, Why would Frozen go in Norway, Why would Nemo go into the Seas pavilion? Why would Monster's Inc go into Tomorrowland?

I just want great rides. I really don't care how they're done. Both methods can yeild amazing or terrible results depending on the execution.

There s a crazy rumor that Frozen is taking over Big Thunder Mountain at DL. Go figure

I hate to ask this question...but how painful do you think this is on the crotch area?

The Vekoma Motorbike Launch Coaster (which Tron is) is fine to me and I have been on two of them in the Netherlands and China. The one most of you rode at Knotts is from Zamperla, who was never known for their skills at building quality coasters.

How the restraint works is easier to explain with a picture:

You get on and lean forward. You pull the handles toward you and this make the back rest lower on your back. It is quite comfortable, but not very "Pooh" friendly if you catch my drift, which could be an issue stateside. The back rest has to come down a certain point before it locks and in my case, at 6'3, 270 lbs, I was at the limit when I rode the Motorbike Coaster at Chimelong Paradise last fall.

Monsters = Aliens...Aliens = Space....Space = Future

 

[ford91exploder]

While spending is out of control, it's clear some significant theming was cut that was probably needed for TSL, so I'd rather the cuts have come from somewhere else. We already are given the bare minimum.

By time TDO is done cutting TSL we will be lucky to have fake shrubbery hiding the wheels of the leased mobile carnival rides. And the BRAND advocates will call it Disneys greatest thing ever

How quickly can they load something like that? Some guests struggle to follow the simplest instructions (e.g. "2 on row 3, 2 on row 4").

Indeed. Hence the reason HM and Splash always always get back upped.

With Chappie at the helm would not surprise me you know Arrendelle has mountains BTM is a Mountain. Paint some rocks white change the trains to sleds Bingo you've got a Frozen attraction for little money....

Monsters = Aliens...Aliens = Space....Space = Future

Monsters Inc takes place in a dimension or universe parallel to the one humans inhabit. Accessing alternate realities has been a staple of science fiction for decades.

I've seen e-stops on Mermaid because people are too stupid to board an omnimover as though they haven't been boarding omnimovers all day. My three-year olds get it.

Because IP

The answer "Because capitalism" answers almost all Disney, IP, Theme Park, Service cuts, etc. questions, comments and complaints. Handy little phrase.
