Disney to buy Marvel Entertainment

[SirGoofy]

Doesn't Buzz Lighter have cut outs? I also believe Peter Pan does have some too.

Pan doesn't, but Buzz does.

One of the main reasons I get off it and say, "Lame.":lol:

I'm pretty sure Peter had some cardboard clouds in it. I even saw the strings.....

I'm surprised they haven't removed/improved Peter Pan yet. It's really outdated...try comparing this:

...to this.

...yeah.

While I do think Buzz is a decent ride, I have to say that when I went to Silver Dollar City which is nowhere near Disney quality but very good on its own and it had a similar ride which I though was ten times better than Buzz. Mainly because all the figures weren't cut outs and there was a reaction of some kind ever time you hit a target.

Sigh. ET is such a great ride, and Pan needs all the updates that DL has gotten to make it the ride it deserves to be.

I hope I get to see ET once more before they close it.

Yup, Buzz is on the bottom of the list as far as shooting arcade style attractions go. Time for an update, or just a brand new ride there.

From what I hear, ET is going to be in the Singapore park. So IF it closes here, it will atleast still exist somewhere in the world.

 

[SirGoofy]

Unless it's confirmed, I doubt it'll happen.

They've closed all the other ET's and the only reason Orlando's is still around is because of Speilberg. Now that he's out I doubt there will be another one.

Notes.

1. Universal 360 is a great show.

2. Peter Pan maybe lackluster, but E.T. has the most disturbing scenes ever built for an attraction, so let's just call that a draw.

3. I should hit SirGoofy over the head for that 20K remark because 20,000 Leagues was and still is better than even the world famous Jungle Cruise AND Little Mermaid will be. But I also love those too, and I'm in a good mood, so I'll be cool about it and let it slide for now...
:lookaroun :wave:

Agreed

Disturbing? Enlighten me, I haven't been on it in ages.

I'll let that slide as well.

The queue and ride system is cool.

The end however features disturbing creatures from the ID, who's conjured appearance strikes fear and dread into the hearts of grown men. Terrible Creatures who visages haunt me enough to dare seek pictures of the horrors which besiege E.T.'s Planet.

horror: WEEEELLLLLCOME HOMMMMEEE: YOU'RE IN HECKKKKKK

Me: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I'd prefer that DHS is simply named "Walt Disney Studios" or perhaps just "Disney Studios Florida." The "Hollywood" part in the title is completely unnecessary IMO.

It could go either way. Either take the Holiwood theme and RUN with it, or drop it.

Honestly, I would not mind if they ran with it...:lookaroun

At least WDW keeps some of their classic attractions . Universal Studios just butchers whatever they have left from their golden age.

Along with EPCOT....

Skip pretty much covered everything I'm gonna say, but what the heck.

*Cracks knuckles*



Opinion. I think 360 is an AWESOME show.




M:S is a superb ride as well. Test Track maybe not, but M:S is awesome.



Again, opinion. I thought 20K was incredibly lame, and is overrated to this day. I miss the aesthetic value more than the actual attraction, but it was not closed for Pooh. The ride had been closed for a good 12 years before pooh ever came there. And now, guess what!? We're going to get an e-ticket on the plot.



These were mistakes.



Simpsons is a suitable replacement for BTF.



And it got a suitable replacement. That's probably more popular than Toad ever was.



Butchering is a matter of opinion. But guess what? The parks aren't supposed to be museums. If 20K was still around today people would get off the ride and say "Lame. Because it was. People would get off Toad and say, "Why is the ride filled with cardboard cut outs?"

Things change, Walt wanted it that way.

Hopefully.:lookaroun


But I agree with the rest of this post, save for 20K. I loved that.

I told you before, Hollywood as a Theme is terrible. It'd basically mean Adult Stores and Night clubs. You can't base a theme park on Hollywood alone. (Look at how well one about all of California did. :lookaroun)

the magic of Hollywood+the magic of Studios= Setting to the Theme of taking center stage= Great Park

(Unless you add gripey Disney fans, the formula is perfect.)

I suppose. I just wish it felt more 1930's in some areas of the park.:shrug: I know the main part of it is, but still...


You are going to blow me off, and laugh, but I think that Hat is the cause of all my negative feeling...:lookaroun:lol:

You're in luck. I hear they're adding a little racial segregation and polio to the park soon...just to bring that extra "welcome to the '30s" feel!

 

[Studios Fan]

uh I think Iger is trying to screw over Universal. First Marvel, and now Steven Spielberg, who recently jumped into bed with our good pal bobby, is launching his own assault:

UC needs to get that Harry Potter finished because their loosing alitude fast!



Looks like the war escalates daily from here on in boys!

I agree that this could get interesting.

:lol::ROFLOL::lol:

I love when Universal/Spielberg try to imitate Disney and instead of being cute/adorable its dark/horrifying. I really love the creature designs for E.T.'s homeworld though. I'd be horrified to meet the man who designed them though (must have been on heavy drugs or an alien abductee)

Is this seriously going to happen then?

 

[SirGoofy]

I mean it hasn't been announced or anything, but they've closed down all the other ones, and there's no doubt in my mind they'll close Orlando's.

I mean, the only reason it was around was because of Spielberg, and he'll be long gone soon.
