1204 pages! Wow that’s a lot

The Spaceship in Spaceship Earth thread is one of my favorites for all of the information and knowledge posted in there.

1204 pages! Wow that’s a lot

The first part is piecing it altogether before the announcement.
Then there a whole lot of speculation about air conditioning etc, and then the denials following the actual correct information.
And then @LiftBlog joined with his technical information.

being eaten by gators as the gondola cars dangled over the lake

That’s the new “live action” Peter Pan ride.

 

[GraysonsDad]

Ladder was just funny
Katiebug of course
And the meltdown (?) over Olivia Rodrigo and Rock 'n Roller Coaster

Thanks for linking to that. I couldn’t figure out where it was.

The woman getting out of the boat on LWtL to steal cucumbers was pretty good too…and OF COURSE, the alleged theft of Buzzy…

I had also forgotten, but I did remember I used the word "coincidence" in the post so the search was able to find it.

Always laughed at the King Louie in the Jungle Cruise ones when they would pop up. Also, the Flower and Garden altercation thread was good too

Katiebug. Ladders. Spaceship in SSE.

And monorail footers.

I could also mention the amazing new show Illuminations 2000, but that would show how long I’ve been here

One of the most memorable threads, and perhaps historically significant was the one related to the Epcot 25th Anniversary.

It was the thread started in response to Disney commenting that nothing was being done for Epcot’s Silver Anniversary back in 2007.
Fans were quite upset, and yours truly thought - Well, why don’t we just all show up and celebrate ourselves?

So I started a thread here on WDWMagic and turned things around with a few friends.
That grew into a few thousand friends, and it snowballed into a ‘fan movement’ that made history.
Disney did a complete turnaround.

The Epcot 25th Celebration happened because of that thread….and ALL of us.
It is still here…

You’re welcome….




Also have to add that the legendary threads started by ‘Spirit’ were highly entertaining and informative at the time.
And let’s not forget the epic ‘Troy Porter’ thread over in the Disneyland Forum some years ago.
Eddie Sotto’s thread was also massive and informative.

I was at that 25th celebration... Met quite a few fellow WDWMagic members that day!!

Very fond memories !

Here's my idea for a ride.

It's a queue. That's it.

If done properly, it could be an hour queue. If you use ILL you get to jump ahead in the queue by around 40 minutes. Once the queue ends. Ride is over.

Pfft, South Park Beat you to it..

For my money my most memorable in my short time here was last D23 live and the thread turning into the RoA memorial thread a second after the shoe dropped

I like looking at "Spaceship in Spaceship Earth" though.

 

[Raineman]

I nominate all three variations of the Splash Mountain/Tiana's thread. Those were a warzone at point

As soon as those threads started to simmer down, the Cars Land/ROA/TSI thread ignited a new flame. That thread doesn't include the sociopolitical aspect that the SM/Tiana threads had, but the battle between nostalgia vs progress has been quite contentious.
