Half as long, but not half as fun

Well put.

Anyone else remember when the construction was starting to resemble Titanic? What a disappointment this turned out to be!

I regret watching the behind the scenes for Titanic. That funny spitting scene was actually done on a parking lot and they digitally added the ocean in post.

Via carrier pidgeon, from that bench. Truly an illustrious bench.

Truly an illustrious bench.

It did set the mark for all other benches to follow.

Unfortunately, all the other benches from the MK's Hub committed suicide shortly thereafter as they simply couldn't live up to the mark set by TGLMHMB.

Some scenes but it’s more coaster than dark ride from what I’ve read.

Just posted this in the Universal forum, but since I know a lot people here don't ever check there and are interested in ride tech, Theme Park University is speculating this may be the ride system for Mario Kart which would make sense.

and that is why Autopia in DIsneyland should be torn out.

So many other ways and technology now to give kids of all ages the ability to drive a car and make it more fun for everyone.

How cool would something like that be if they used parts of the peoplemover track and a smaller portion of the lower Autopia track to update that aging attraction

There is the replacement for Autopia. Just add some tunnels with projections and you got Mario Kart.

Unless something has drastically changed, that is not the Mario Kart ride system. It looks fun though!

Wait, you have insider info on Mario Kart? I'll send you a check if you tell me everything you know.

I guess there are other patents floating around possibly linked to Mario Kart that don't exactly jive with this one... still pretty neat!

It took Pandora 283 days until they started serving pretzels. Will Galaxy's Edge be able to last at least a year?

Sugar Rush anyone?
