Maybe a little more detail on what’s already in flight, but I wouldn’t expect anything more ‘new’ for the parks this weekend. I think we’ve gotten all we’ll get.

I am still so upset that they showed the puppeteers for the muppets. That was…shocking and such bad show. Just….what?!?!

They should just have taped segments with a narrator to segue between them. Everything live was an utter s**t show and an embarrassment for the company.

Yeah, about that...how come all the puppeteers are male? Even for Miss Piggy, which is supposedly a female? They couldn't find a female puppeteer to perform it? Are they inferring that none exist? So much for diversity. Talk about sexist! What's the deal, Muppets Studio?

You must have mistook me for someone not the perfect age who has followed LFL so closely that I could write a book on it.

You also confused me for someone who tolerates excuses/misdirection for crap.


…I don’t think it’s gonna go well

You must have mistook me for someone who cares whether you are right or wrong. Constantly accusing others of being wrong doesn’t make you right.

It’s old and still better than anything Disney has built since. Pirates of the Caribbean is twice as old and still better than any other dark ride in the world.

Maybe they should put horizons in California adventure while we’re at it?

Test Track?

Got it. Time for lunch

Test Track?

A 24 year old ride that’s been an ops headache since day one and cost todays equivalent of a gaIzillion?

…we covered it, right?

Horizons was never good. Epcot fans are the most delusion Disney park fans. The only good thing Epcot has ever had is American Adventure.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I'm also good with the Animal Kingdom direction. It's Tough to Be a Bug needs replacing. I'm also glad Zootopia isn't getting a land at Animal Kingdom. Indy has always been the major contender for replacing Dinosaur. It looks like they know using the Indy theme will bring much needed life into that area. I'm also okay with Encanto being purposed for Animal Kingdom. I didn't think behind Thunder would have been a good fit.

The parks need additions more than replacements. But Bob saves Pennies on replacements.

I’m talking about the updates, it’s possible they could be teased at the EPCOT panel. I’m not expecting much but it’s possible.

When was your first visit?

And horizons wasn’t very good. But the idea of rebuilding decades old rides still doesn’t make any sense, does it?

Lol, who literally cares? Got it.

Just had lunch

I’ve heard the track layout is the same as dinosaur but they won’t be able to clone it will they? Doesn’t the Indy ride have a massive hall area with different levels?

Yes, but so does Dinosaur. With some minor differences, they're exactly the same ride.

 

[Consumer]

When was your first visit?

Why would I waste my time at a place as boring as Epcot?

 

[kevlightyear]

Casita has to be an attraction of some kind. What quality of attraction is up in the air, but they wouldn’t build the facade with space behind it and do absolutely nothing with it.

Meet and Greet

So your chair is muffling your speech…for it.

Now settle down

 

[Brian]

Why would I waste my time at a place as boring as Epcot?

I guess that's one way to answer the question.

I love the D'Amaro quote 'Things are about to go into overdrive at MK'

Yeah, just you wait for us to announce things that we plan to do one day but will cancel before we do it. This is really exciting time for big fans of WDW. I suggest holding your breath as well, what could go wrong?
