The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

It could often be better, too. Disney doesn't exactly have the excuses parks like Knott's or Universal carry.

Exactly. Things could be a TON better... and yet they're not. Go figure.

"Why does everything have to be franchise-oriented? Because that's our barrier to entry. Because if ANY of our competitors had our intellectual property, guess what they would be doing... the EXACT same thing we're doing." – Bob Chapek

I regret ever impersonating this buffoon. This simpleton from merchandising has NO clue what it takes to be a true industry leader. His literal defense of using IP everywhere in the parks is that its what his competitors would have done. Bravo Bobby, how third grade of you. Way to stand out and be different! I didn't think the bar could get lowered any more.

For ****'s suck these are the industry-leading Disney parks and $hapek is treating them like a billboard.

That new Pixar movie looks bad.

Watching the NBA finals and they just showed a trailer... I agree. Looks bad. Why are more and more Disney movies feeling like Dreamworks movies, at least stylistically.

The character designs are Tumbler tier garbage.

Americas Team, the Toronto Raptors, beat the Warriors tonight. One down, three more to go!

Its only one game, don't count the Warriors out yet...

Who cares about NBA? St Louis Blues won last night to tie up the Stanley Cup Finals at 1-1. Play Gloria!

I do but I also want the Blues to pull through.

Anyone but Boston...again.

Anyone but Boston ever

Does anyone have any recent photos taken of the Adventureland sign? A poster on the chit chat forums said it was supposed to be completed today (Thursday). I'd be curious to see what the final products looks like.

I've been hating Boston since the 2013 World Series. Had I not been only six years old, I would've been hating them since the 2004 World Series.

Oh no, it’s already done!? I’m guessing it’s pretty basic then. No more thatched roof... not that I was expecting it

They showed a map on ESPN that shows that every state in the country is pulling for Toronto except California, Nevada and Hawaii. I’d imagine Southern California however, is pulling for Toronto.

The only basketball I ever cared about was the Bulls during the 90's and the Lakers in the early 2000's.
Everything else is meh.

That was based on just Twitter hashtags from what I know. So I don't think its a true representation of how the country feels.

But nonetheless, its the Bay Area's time again to shine. We had some long lean years and now are starting to come back to our glory years in sports. Warriors and Giants (though I'm an A's fan) both have been great this decade, and even the Sharks have starting to show signs of a Cup run in the last couple years just coming up short again this year. Now we just need my Niners to come back and then we'll capture all four major sports.

I’m not really a Fins fan

Without KD, the Raptors just might pull it off. Tonight was a must win and really Sundays game is too.

Football is my main sport, I just root for the local teams for the other sports.

Funny enough, I'm leaving the Golden State and heading to Toronto this week.

Based on the crowd watching on a Super Big Screen at the Anaheim Packing House tonight, you are correct. The Majority were either Raptors fans or Neutral. And since both my parents went to the University of Toronto, I was one of the Raptors fans, I just miss the name Air Canada Centre. Very nice facility that I have visited.
