Oh, quiet you. You have little ground to stand on criticizing an innovative attraction's downtime (on day one no less) when Animal Kingdom's premiere attraction has had a broken centerpiece for 7 years.

Next we're going to be told that everyone who went today left disappointed, just like the media were all disappointed a few weeks ago.

Or that "BATB Tiki Room" concept pitched for Paris?
Just because you waited in a line does not mean its an attraction. I know some people may consider BoG an attraction but its just a restaurant (a nice one). I waited in a line to use the restroom, that doesnt make the toilet and urinal cakes an attraction though.

I don't know... those bathrooms make for a MAGICAL experience!
Unless my food starts singing and dancing, Be Our Guest is indeed just a nice restaurant

This should lead to some nice, calm, level headed discussion.
Reposting for posterity. They should have a forum post hall of fame. This would be the lead post.
This thread, however, should be shutdown before someone loses an eye.

The problem I have is that same principle applies to WDW as well when it comes to some posters. People are quick to criticize and don't realize they are doing the same thing just vice versa.
I grew up on Disney and still love the place but Uni is doing way more exciting things in their parks right now. Disney simply doesn't have the ambition that they once did. WDW is stale. It still holds a lot of nostalgia for me and when I enter Main Street I still get the feeling of being a kid again. However, I'm much more excited about Uni's future as well as the tangible evidence of what has actually been built over the past 5 years.
Does it suck that you can see the Forbidden Journey show building from the queue? Yes. Does the Hulk coaster have no theming? Yes.
Is it awful that the Yeti is closing in on a decade of not working? Yes. Are the numerous cutbacks and money grabs borderline despicable? Absolutely.
Given that you are scoring the interior based on pictures, I am assuming that you haven't eaten there. Therefore, how can you judge the food?
I've only eaten there at lunch, but that was quite good.
I think you mean 'offensive'.

You might as well explain that to your shoe.

for their sake, I hope that's the case... thanks for your reply. It's nice to hear from someone who doesn't attack someone else for their option and actually shares what they know from experience and not from the other forum peeps
Classic.

Hulk at least has the premise laid out in the preshow that the roller coaster is supposed to be some particle accelerator project of Banner's trying to find a cure for himself, not to mention the Marvel Universe presented in Super Hero Island is basically one where all the super-technology takes the form of amusement park rides like Doom's space shot being a fear extractor, the Storm Teacups being some generator built to counter Magneto, and JJJ blowing a ton of money on EMV vehicles for reporters like how he was a backer on the Spider Slayer project.

God bless the "Ignore" button.
There are plenty of great things at Disney and subpar things at Uni. But Diagon Alley does not belong on that list.

Ok... I'm going to come out and say it.
Both sides of this argument really crack. me. up.
@WDWDad13 I'm not responding directly to you, but rather quoting you because your statement here is directly related to the point I'm about to make.
Pixie dusters are all screaming that everyone is bashing Disney and that HP fans are claiming that Uni can do no wrong.
Uni fans are claiming that all Disney fans are pixie dusters who will never admit that Disney has any flaws and are obviously blind to what a fantastic park Uni really is.
I'm just over here laughing because no matter what either group of fans says, both resorts are great places to visit, but they both have their fair share of flaws and weaknesses as well as strengths. Both groups of people are equally deaf to anything negative about their side or anything positive about the other, when in fact, there's no reason in the world why anyone has to choose one set of parks over the other. Sure, not everyone can afford to visit both on every trip... DH and I fall into that category. We did a trip a few years ago where we only went to Uni, and this last June we only went to WDW. As much as I like Disney, we very well may end up going to Uni the next time we visit Orlando. Or not. I don't know, because I have no idea when we'll even be going back, much less what we'll do when we get there. But if I choose to visit Uni and not hit WDW while we're there, it doesn't mean I'm not a Disney fan. Or vice versa.
To an extent, the same should be true with these discussions. Just because I defended the appearance of DA doesn't mean I have any kind of dislike for NFL. On the flip side of the same coin, just because I enjoy going to HS for RnRC and ToT, I'm not disallowed from having just as much fun at either Uni park.
It's perfectly fine to have an opinion one way or another, or to favor one group of parks (or even just one park) over another. But it seems like every time someone doesn't like what someone on the "other side" has to say, it automatically becomes a finger pointing session with generalizations and an assumption that one is either a pixie duster or a member of the First Church of Uni.
Not everything has to be that concrete.

My only dislike in the NFL is the Oakland Raiders. I can't stand them. Well, and the Broncos, they stink too. I guess there's also the Ravens, Jets and Colts. Boy, I'm wearing my XXL Hater Pants today!
I know, that's not what you meant by NFL, but this thread needed some humour and obvious sarcasm.

Confession time.
When I first came to these forums, it took me several visits before I realized that NFL did not mean National Football League. It took me even longer to get to a point where I did not have to remind myself of this fact every time I saw NFL anywhere. Considering I joined just two months before 7DMT opened, my first few days in here were a bit confusing.
