DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

I think Horizons and World of Motion were both around 15 minutes too.

yeah, original EPCOT definitely had some long rides - obviously not as many when it first opened but you had those two (15 mins each), SSE (also 15 mins), Universe of Energy (was 45 minutes in total), Journey into Imagination was 11 mins

Obviously initial Disneyland has the fantasy land rides that were a lot shorter but then they hit a stride of wanting (it seems) some longer experiences.

Society and attention spans have definitely changed since then though - I am sure part of the reason Universe of Energy was never crowded was due to how long it was

Yeah 15min rides were never the norm

There was a very brief period in the 80s when Disney built a few in Epcot and then GMR some years later
DL's Pirates was always an outlier, and it probably wouldn't have been that long if it wasn't for the train tracks

Tokyo's Sinbad is around 11min, BATB and Frozen are around 7min

7 minutes is probably the longest we'll ever see from now on

Not at all. SeaWorld does take good care of their animals.

You cannot take good care of animals that are inherently harmed and disadvantaged by being held in captivity.

Orcas don’t do well in captivity. Here’s why.

The marine mammals, stars of amusement park shows around the world, have long died before their time.

Including preshows Rise of the Resistance is about 15 minutes, so I am sure there will always be exceptions, but yeah, 7 minutes is probably more the norm - MMRR including preshow is 7 mins as well

Which is really unfortunate -- the length is one of the reasons EPCOT had by far the best attraction lineup of any theme park ever built for me.

I didn't literally mean 15 minutes but majority of dark rides and attractions in general were much longer than they are now. Majority are 5 minutes or less and lack the AAs. Attractions used to be full of AAs.

In general? Maybe. When I attended seaworld camp I didn’t get the feeling that the smaller animals were being mistreated. Now the orcas? Sadly I’m inclined to believe that they are being mistreated. We weren’t shown back there. probably to avoid people seeing something seaworld doesn’t want people to see.

whats the expected ride time of this? Judging by the load station size in comparison to the showbuilding it seems like the loading station will be as almost as big as the coaster itself.

Most coasters are ~1-2 mins from the launch/top of the lift to the final brake run... I'd assume this won't be significantly different...
