Fantasyland expasion phase III - move IASW????

[tirian]

Yes but that was you theory wasn't it. In DL something like this could happen with TDO it will not.

Preface: I'm not trying to point you out personally; I'm just using this as an example.

The idea that DL's management is a Walt-loving, quality-touting model of perfection is absolutely absurd. If the resort's watchdogs are to be believed, much of TDA barely sets foot in the parks (ignoring the common folk was fashionable during the Pressler era, and the concept still lingers). The only reason DL received massive refurbs for its 50th anniversary was that everything was literally falling apart. The resort has a unified, outspoken fanbase that doesn't gush when an attraction gets regular maintenance, and attacks TDA's missteps in the local press, effectively keeping management on its toes. DCA's upgrades are basically bringing it up to the level of a Disney park instead of a local Six Flags, and WDW's clones are ironically better than the DCA equivalents.

I'm not defending mediocrity or TDO, which deserves most of the criticism it receives. But no resort is perfect, and the Internet idea that everything is better at DL is a lie.

I don't care why it happens TDA is just better than TDO.

I wish WDW had an outspoken fanbase.:lol:

That is the problem 90% of people that go to WDW are just there on vacation.

I think this is a WDWMagic idea, actually (and possibly other WDW fansites).

I had to stop going to Micechat because that fanbase was a little too "outspoken" for my taste. You think we know how to gripe? We're rank amateurs compared to those DL people. You'd think DL was Six Flags over Anaheim to read some of the stuff over there. :lol:

That's exactly why I stopped checking their boards!

Oh, I agree. They're very, very fickle.

As much as I want INdy I would rather have an addition to WS!

Indy really isn't that great... imo

Did it once...couldn't believe so many people hyped it up compared to Dinosaur. I think you can actually see MORE on dinosaur than you can on Indy.

seriously you're only in the tomb room with the swaying bridge and the big ole face for like 15 seconds..and you're shaking so much you don't have time to appreciate the scene anyway. And its like they assume that since you've seen the Indy movies you don't need a narration or heavy storyline for that attraction.

I'll take Dinosaur...

I completly disagree INdy is so far above anf beyond DINO imo.

Finally we agree on something this week. :lol:

Queue to exit, I think Indy is one of the best overall Disney attractions on the continent. I just don't see how Dinosaur compares.

Agreed! :lol: And they seem to think that DL is the only good Disney park in existance.

"Eew, I hate WDW's castle because its way too big and ugly."

Best queue to exit attraction it ToT of course...with HMs very close behind.

Yea. Dino has so much empty space compared to Indy.

Indy's got everything an attraction can ask for.

 

[Wilt Dasney]

I'd agree with those being at or near the top. (I have a giant HM soft spot.) I feel like Indy is in the neighborhood, though.

 

[Wilt Dasney]

Indy is so rugged and dangerous that I lost cell phone reception in the queue! (The only place on property I was unreachable.)

Indy's queue is so head and shoulders about HM's and ToT though, there's no competition.:shrug:

maybe that was the experience i missed to make it top my list. :ROFLOL:

seriously thought, i was really disappointed with Indy after how much you all hyped it up on here!

Hey now. HM I'll give you (the preshow and ride is where it's at there), but ToT's queue is pretty dang awesome. Especially when they get that mist workin' outside.

Don't get me wrong, I like ToT's queue a lot, but more for the inside than the out. Indy's queue is much more complete, but that's just me.

Agreed.
ToT has a great queue...but Indy's queue is the greatest queue in all of recorded history. Everything from the little turn into the area by JC and the treehouse to the exit. Perfect.
