This is the type of "integrity of craft" so sorely lacking in today's WDC.
The focus used to be on producing quality and nuance that generated success. Now they just try to create success. Different approaches.

They chose a very interesting year to give Frank Oz the Disney Legend title.
Gad is nowhere close to a Disney Legend, unless you lower the bar to the floor and have little-to-no standard on what constitutes a "Disney Legend". Oh wait...

I mean technically he is, none of us get to decide who is or isn’t.
I wasn’t necessarily a fan of his but I saw him in “Gutenberg the musical” on broadway and he completely won me over. The guy is a very talented entertainer.

At D23 he was asked what he thought of Disney's use of the Muppets and he was all positive about it suddenly.
Cars will not be open until 2029-2030.
Plenty of time for that to be altered quite a bit.
Indy and Zootopia are the only definites. Encanto ride is going to happen scale may dissapoint. Monsters Inc Coaster is the only solid after.
Monsters as a land will likely not feature as much as people will think.
So many grounds have broken to false promises before.

I mean, I'd agree in my eyes (and most everyone), but fact is he was given that title by Disney.

Slinky is weird in that it is generally themed poorly and all critiques about it are right, but it has rave reviews with any person you ever talk to.
I’ll talk to lawyers and other professionals about their Disney trip and they’ll glow about “the Slinky ride.”

Well yeah, you can find nice restaurant food everywhere but that's the only place you can get that vibe.
Remy and Pirates restaurants in Paris are ok for food but it's the theming that books them up.
Personally I'm amazed anyone would be eager pay Disney prices for normal food in a normal setting, but I'm from Europe where those things are easy to find at reasonable prices so I'm more interested in unique settings and cakes shaped like mjolnir.

Slinky benefits from the same thing Cosmic Rewind does. At the end of the day, it's a fun roller coaster, no matter how much or how little theming there is. Could the theming make it even better? Sure, but it's still a fun ride.

the food is horrible too....its the ambience your paying for. the rest a ripoff, I dont know how they keep getting away with that. I guess the ambience is just that good and fun, I love it too but the rest is really inexcusable.

I think that's pretty good for a coaster. I time Rockin' around 1:15 from launch to brakes.

Gad is a legend like Tiana is a fully operational ride

2 min includes the pre-show, pre-pre-show and waiting for the first row seats. JK. I hope the ride is long.

If it's two minutes from the moment the first show scene with the train being pulled up begins, to brakes, I'd be satisfied.

I do think they gave Gad the legend status prematurely. Miley should have gotten it before him, for example.

Why are people still mentioing SciFi? It doesn't sound like the Monsters addition should affect anything on that side of Grand Ave. Harryhausens seems like it will be a replacement for Mama Melrose.

Frozen's been out for 11 years now and the franchise has made roughly $13.9 billion. Makes sense as to why the Frozen cast were honoured, but maybe they should have waited until after Frozen 4
