...no reason getting our hackles raised over nothing.

But...that's what I'm here for...

It would look freaking atrocious. Let's not build an attraction that's intentionally designed to look like a tacky and awful clone of Mario Kart--Which is exactly what Sugar Rush is intended to be in the movie. In fact, let's not build attractions based on things that are parodies. Especially when Universal is building a ride based on the original thing that's being parodied.

While it is an homage and not a parody, this is very much why I so disliked the idea of Stark Expo in/replacing Tomorrowland. Stark Expo was very much a copy of a Tomorrowland that is otherwise considered “irrelevant” but becomes acceptable by being in a movie franchise.

The Skyway closed 25 years ago this year.

Yet another on the long list of attractions that are iconic, but were closed prior to my first Disneyland visit.

My list isn't very long.

1. Rocket Rods
2. Superstar Limo

6.99 a month for Disney+

Includes 30 seasons of the Simpsons which surprised me.

...I'm happy for you?

He's just a little cranky because you have his franchise.

The only Fox IP that should be in any at the DLR the parks is Miracle on 34th Street. (I don't want Planet of the Apes or Alien in Tomorrowland)

What's funny is Disney now owns the movie rights to Thunder Mountain...

What about a Dr Dolittle experience, that could fit into any Disney Park, especially DAK.

If Disney would do a good Dr. Dolittle movie, that would be wonderful. One of the problems with the Rex Harrison musical is that you can't understand what the animals are saying--which is where all the books' humor comes from. The problem with the Eddie Murphy version is... everything.

Bob Iger is retiring in 2021.

Bob Iger is retiring in 2021.

And I wish him a happy retirement. I don't agree with his approach to growing the company, but he's made many smart decisions. A new CEO in 2021... What could possibly go wrong?!? (Expecting the worst).

Just in time for WDW's 50th!
Maybe...someone we all know and love...will finally get the call!

I mean, a guy can dream, right??

You really think with all the success the company has had in recent years they're gonna pull a 180 with an outsider, or promote someone who knows the inner workings already?
