Did we ever find out what the extra show scenes would have consisted of in the first two?

I don’t think so, although we do know that the original was supposed to have a scene of the dwarfs marching across a log. They wouldn’t have been slow-moving dark-ride sections so likely nothing too complex.

The third one is the one that got built.

More Timeless. More Disney. Distinctly Chinese. Uniquely Floridian.

They should have made 7DMT a similar experience to the Matterhorn, but with the witch popping out and cackling/shrieking in place of the abominable snowman.

Do anyone have an idea what IP Universal would base this on?

Spoiler: Also...

Also, why does no one complain when Universal builds IP based rides?

Star Trek.

A little merch from my last trip...

Couldn’t pass up the Monorail Pez Dispenser holder for $11.99 after Legacy discount. Pez dispensers were buy one get one free.

The TOT collection is growing ...

Star Trek.

Is Star Trek still a viable IP? I know they are still pumping out shows, but I think the wide-appeal factor isn't there and really has not been there since like the late 90's.

Nice book collection!

Nice book collection!

Thanks! These are on the shelf above that one...

Rolly Crump signed the inside of the Blue Imagineering book. I thought the page he signed on was fitting.

Wonderful collection! Have you ordered that Claude Coats book that's coming out? I was on the kickstarter... so excited it's finally getting released.

A couple “quick” fixes for DCA would be a suspended UP ride maybe where the challenge trail is and a Coco boat ride in whatever backstage area at Pixar Pier that can be used.

This made me think of something. Aside from Carsland and Monsters (which i feel will be gone soon), I was wondering if anyone felt it would be redundant to add Pixar characters anywhere but Pixar Pier? I feel like there was a number of ways that Pixar properties could've been added throughout the park in existing and new areas but Pixar Pier kinda puts WDI in a tough place.

No I have to do that! Can I pre order now?

My man, yes it is!

It's my understanding Tony did some consulting for the book, since he had a close relationship with Claude during the latter part of Claude's career- so I'm hoping there's some new stories that haven't been shared.

It’s kind of redundant but I don’t think Disney or people really care. I would prefer IP to be scattered throughout the park and just fit into the theme of the land (even if only loosely). An Up ride for example would work loosely in Grizzly Peak. Cars Land is an anomaly for me in that it’s single IP land that works very well undoubtedly due to the amazing execution and theme that is simpatico with Disney parks.

Thanks my man! I’ll be ordering this. Great to to hear Tony did some consulting! I remember his story of running into Claude Coates as he snuck into the POTC show building when it was still being built.

That book is already on my Christmas list!

Wow, and I thought WEB-SLINGERS was bad. This is one of the worst things Disney’s ever done. And then, at the end, to have the animated on-tram hosts gushing (obnoxiously) about how amazingly fun it supposedly was... In all seriousness, how stupid does Disney think people are?

They’re just maintaining the theme of Walt Disney Studios Park being the worst Disney park.

Oof. As someone who thoroughly enjoyed the Backlot Tour from the MGM Studios days... this was painful to watch. Who do I see about getting those 13 minutes and 45 seconds back?

Holy crap. Wow. This is the worst thing Disney's done. This is something else.
