Does anyone know what the deal with Goofy's Sky School is?

[Shigg. W. McGee]

Is that thing still closed? What's going on?

It’s getting an extensive refurb.

 

[mickEblu]

I heard it was safety upgrades. I certainly feel like Im going to be the one that flies off the track every time. The catalyst for this refurb might Be the increased amount of riders they expect after Screamin goes down.

My wife refuses to ride it because of the same feeling that she will fly off the track.

Haha. It's definitely the second scariest ride at DLR.

Out of curiosity what's the first? For me, it used to be Tower of Terror but that's gone now.

I thought that was the whole point of a Wild Mouse ride like Goofy's...

100% Mickeys Fun Wheel (swinging gondolas). I recently went on MAD and that would probably be third on my list since the drop profile was really unpredictable. It immediately caught me off guard. Someone said that the MAD drop profile is the same as the "Born to be Wild" drop profile on MB. I hope that's true and I don't have to wait until next Halloween.

I never said it wasn't.... oh i see why you re saying that. Because the sentence you quoted immediately followed something I said about safety. Those were two unrelated thoughts.

"Born to be Wild" and Monsters After Dark do indeed have identical ride profiles and now that Tyler Bates has released the Monsters After Dark song, with some careful sound editing and headphones, you could in theory recreate Monsters After Dark when riding the normal Mission: Breakout profile!

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

It should be dismantled and replaced with another dark ride.

Yep...just pointing out that the ride doesn't "work" for her.

That's a fanstastic idea! Have to get the Born to be Wild profile first through. Well, I guess the music would help with any profile.

Can you start using the quote feature? Please. Thanks.

Understood, I was just stating it was the point of that type of ride system for those that don't know.

But I do agree with others, that space should (and probably will in the future) be used for something else like another dark ride. If Disney wants to turn DCA into a "coaster" style park, a small indoor coaster would be cool.

If they re not going to turn into a dark ride at least give us a VR Ride.

Blah, VR rides are so last year. I don't think the VR ride experience is something Disney wants to do. Iger has already stated it was a direction with attractions they weren't pursuing.

Oh right, so much more blah than an off the shelf wild mouse Coaster.

Who cares about Iger?

I would think you would want something so much better than just sticking goggles on your head. Talk about cheap...

As for Iger, he still has control for another year and half. So we should care.

Obviously a dark ride would be better but this would be a quick fix in the short term. I think adding blah VR To a blah Coaster would make it less blah. I'm not big on VR but being that Goofy is a cartoon it wouldn't feel cheap or cheesy. Flying along in a cartoon world with Goofy dodging birds would make the attraction better IMO. Hygiene would be my one concern.
