The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

It’ll be even better when they solve what’s causing the station cabin crashes. One incident is one too many. Three is embarrassing.

It was a bump, only the first was an actual crash.

This thing has transported how many people with hardly any incidents. Wonder what the bus accident/injury rate compared to the skyliner?

It was a bump, only the first was an actual crash.

That reads like a great Disney press release. The system has a problem that needs to be fixed, and I’m sure it will be. In the meantime, they could turn the situation into a promotional opportunity; anyone in a Skyliner cabin that collides with another gets a free turkey leg. If the windows shatter, you get dinner at Victoria & Albert’s.

Fantasyland and DCA have nearly the same number of rides.

Fantasyland and DCA have nearly the same number of rides.

And if you look at overall quality, Fantasyland wins hands down.

What is this?

What is this?

Concept I believe for the Ursula spinner rumored to have been going into the empty area inside the Incredicoaster, part of the Pixar Pier project before it was cut if I remember correctly.

 

[Too Many Hats]

It's been 20 years. That empty sand/dirt lot inside the final Incredicoaster helix is truly depressing.

I have never been to tokyo disneysea but on video, that entire little mermaid area looks so incredible inside and out. Im not even a big mermaid fan but I wish they would bring that the US parks

It was rumored for a long time, I think it was just officially cut as part of the Pixar Project.

When DCA first opened, it was treated as a fact that an Ursula spinner would be coming to Scream’n’s Eastern helix to boost capacity. Remember at the time there was King Triton’s Carousel right next door. I think they went with A Bugs Land instead. RIP.

It was around long after Bugs Land too. Rumors were swirling that this would go with Paradise Pier 2.0 (3.0?) after Midway Mania, the upgraded facades to the games, and Mickey's Fun Wheel. This is what added to the frustration of getting Pixar Pier instead. Anyway, add this to the long list of rumored attractions that never were to be. (*cough* Avengers E-ticket *cough* )

It looks better than anything currently pixar pier including the coaster

The theme for The Big Country (1958), starring Jimmy Stewart, has to be one of the most beautiful movie scores of all time. I really wish Disney would bring back Remember... Dreams Come True just so to have this back in the parks.

One of the greatest movie themes of all time. It’s so good it’s survived and erased Boomer memories of its stint as the Marlboro Man theme in endless cigarette commercials of the 60’s.

The Cincinatti Pops recording is outstanding.

Open letter to chefs worldwide:

Pears are not dessert and never will be.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Ah, the Marlboro Man Theme

They could hypothetically bring the idea back but replace Ursula with the octopus from Toy Story 3.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it took Disney eight years to build, cost as much as three Velocicoasters, required reservations, needed riders to buy expensive toys for the best experience, and broke down constantly.

 

[PiratesMansion]

If Disney MUST build normal flat rides with minimal Disney overlays, than an Octopus ride themed to Ursula is one of the most logical.

Of course, the fact that it's actually logical means it will never be built.
