ISTCrew's October 23 WDW Update

[General Grizz]

And for the record, I haven't been on Triceratop Spin or the Magic Carpets of Aladdin, so I guess I really don't know if they are off the shelf spinners or not.

Regretful to say you haven't missed out on much. :lookaroun

(I mean you *have* been on Dumbo the Flying Elephant, AstroOrbiter, and/or StarJets? )

What and where is Dream Chasers???

Post show attraction after Test Track. They are purple moving seats.

 

[DarkMeasures]

I actually liked what was before Dreamchasers (though I actually never been on Dreamchasers, mainly since it can't rock back and forth).

But the driving thing that was there was fun... I guess even though the roads were really really wide and the graphics were bad.

Well "Magical Gatherings" started a year ago September as part of a 15+ month campaign. So i dont forsee any new campaigns starting until springtime and, heh, I'll let y'all be suprised with what they announce. (Damm non-disclosure agreements)

I'm talking about merchandise logos...I knew about Magical Gatherings.

The cheaper sodas came in handy last week when I was there. I was surprised...I actually made the poor girl repeat what my total was when I purchased a soda outside of Expo Hall.

Too bad I missed SGE. Oh well...can't win them all...at least I got to go to WDW.

How were the crowds when you were there? Are they down a bit from the last two weekends?

~A few props from the TT queue (like the neck callobration test head) were gone.

~I finally got to ride the new DreamChasers. I prefer it much better over the old version, since this one has a better story and is 3D.

WHAT?! Where are they?!?!

Whoa.. that new DC, personally, made me sick! All that 3D crap. It's a lot better than the old one, but it's still horrible. Maybe someday, something worthwhile will be put there... hopefully... :brick:

~The Lift Hill is indeed up on Everest:

The mountain is now really starting to look like the concept art with the lift in place. I can't wait until facade work starts going verticle.

make sure you check out the brandnames of the tv's that air the preshow video.

Do the formor teleportation tubes still say XS on them or has this logo too changed to the GF?

~Motion Sickness bags are still being used on MS, but the motion sickness bags recording is no longer being used.

I never knew they had a recording (I went in July and didn't hear it). However, I never really got the point of the MS bags. To me they were in such a bad location to begin with. Are they even reachable once the screen moves foward? To me, you would have to actually look down to find the bag, which would make the motion sickness even worse.

the photo of the sign for stitch looks like it has a height requirement noted???

what is the actual height requirement...??? we are heading down in 2 weeks and my 5 year old wants to ride stitch if it's open... but i'm afraid she's too short! i want to prepare her if she is not going to be able to ride.

thaks.

I believe it's 35". Am I right?? He SHOULD be able to make it. I've seen a lot of 5 and even 4 year olds make it onto Test Track (which has a height restriction of 40").

Yea...When I saw the height bar, it looked like I could trip over it lol.

If she's 40'', she should be fine.

Thanks for an AWESOME update, Patrick!!!

I cannot wait to experience Stitch... Hopefully it will be open when I am up there!
