One of the ride profiles has that line from Rocket. It's a bit of a dig at us on message boards who obsess over thematic inconsistencies.
And I find that line to be hilariously funny. Well played, WDI, very well played.
I think that nails the "screen" difference for me. In TOT, screens were used to enhance to show...in GOTG, screens literally ARE the show.
Yeah, and how many times have you read comments from people complaining about how tired it is. Quite often in posts here about WDW fans remark about how old and dated some features are, and that Disney has only recently shown interest in mixing things up a bit. Did I read recently that there's a major character stage show there that's been running for 30 years? Kind of shocking if true.
I'm not knocking nostalgia, but if nostalgia had been Disney's top priority as a theme park operator we would have never had Star Tours, The Indiana Jones Adventure, Cars Land, or that terrible Michael Jackson movie you love so much.
I think that's fair, though I'd say that GOTG tells a more detailed and narrative-ish story (I won't say ambitious) where exposition may necessarily come via screens. And I'd also draw a distinction such that external action on GOTG is on screen but the actions happening to the rider (the drops) are not simulated, which is a big difference to me.
Only went to Dland yesterday. It was indeed crowded, but not overwhelming as the times indicate. Should have gone on Saturday when only Sig and Sig + were allowed in though.
Getting the Signature vs Deluxe or lower was one of my smarter decisions in recent memory.
I feel ya. The drive home wasn't the most thrilling when you start counting the hours of sleep you'll have to make do with ahead of a busy work day.
