The Spirited 11th Hour ...

Half the size of our carriers.

technically.. bigger capital ships now are kinda obsolete.
Most carriers can be sank by mines easily or these new chinese anti carrier missiles(supposedly).
Hence why GOALKEEPER/PHALANX systems are being phased out in favor of heavy lasers and standard projectiles with longer range railguns and other electromagnetic type weapons.

Jack Lindquist has died

I wonder if it was of natural causes or he just got the news of the cuts to his beloved park.

The lobbying might be in the news. The connection to the PAC donations is pure speculation.

hence the term "wondering".

When I first started posting here around last year or so after a long while of lurking, I thought @ford91exploder was kinda the crazy curmudgeon of the forum. Now I know he's still a crazy curmudgeon but he's not all cynic. He cares, just like @WDW1974 and everyone else here. The truth is, if we didn't care we wouldn't be here. We may not agree with Disney's current choices but we want them to do better, which is why we're so critical. We want them to hold themselves to the standards set by Walt that have since fallen by the wayside.

Caring is not the issue. It is the hyperbole, falsehoods and nonsense that is so tiresome and undermines reasoned critique.

@WDW1974 actually provides useful information and criticism, @ford91exploder just shots out nonsense 24/7 and hopes that something will stick. Not to mention stirring up constant lies to try and continue his..ummmm what do they call it....oh yeah Trolling.

Hey guys I found some leaked concept art for USH's Diagon Alley, It sure looks like it takes after Hogsmeade (in terms of sight lines) .

(No matter how angry you are with some of Disney's choices, just be thankful that we don't have to see this lmao)

 

[ford91exploder]

And you will bash Disney's choices no matter what.

Hard to defend anything Disney has done over the last 4 years

Gotta hand it to the #Disney fanatics who have retroactively become #StarWars and #Marvel fanatics just to keep up.

Kung Pow! Already did that too...

To me that would be great as it gives the sense of a place hidden away in a city.

???Hogsmeade????

 

[MagicGoofy]

???Hogsmeade????

Its a joke because of Hollywoods Hogsmeade, that has countless sight lines that can be seen from even in the MIDDLE of the land. So I found a pic that had LA (as a sight line) behind Diagon alley and said it was concept art. What part of the joke do you not get?

 

[JoeCamel]

Guess I am dense, I read it as you posted a concept of Hogsmeade but it was showing DA. I understand the sightlines are very poor there and hope they can grow the bamboo faster than the buildings.

First Iger sighting at the oscars. His wife is not wearing a Star Wars themed dress this year unfortunately. You'd think she would considering the circumstances. I wonder how Bob is liking Chris Rock.

Ha, I actually thought that was supposed to be USJ at first glance. I can't speak to USH, but Japan has several high rise hotels looming at one end of the park, a massive bridge looming at the other (nothing says immersion like being able to watch traffic) and they screwed up the money shot with an exposed Hogwarts show building that's far more in your face than Orlando.

It's a Small World movie's in the works again.

Probably not gonna be anywhere near as crazy as the Cold War flavored Small World movie pitch from the 70s

If Disney had any stones they'd release it on Halloween and make it a horror movie...

Here's the trailer:
(Black screen)
"It's a world of laughter"
(Flash of an image of the dolls laughing before going back to a black screen)
"It's a world of tears"
(Flash of an image of the dolls looking sad)
"It's a world of hope"
(Flash of an image of the dolls looking optimistic)
"And a world of fears..."
(All the dolls have knives, turn into chucky dolls and go on a murderous rampage)

I have time in my schedule to direct.

Woah, thats terrible... I would rather wait an extra 1-2 years for a land if that means I get full immersion and great photos in the long term.

Okay, now they're just rubbing it in. Having Pixar characters present the Pixar Award for being this year's Pixar film.

Character stunt aside. Inside Out's win was well deserved.

It's a win with no effort. It's a well known fact that Academy voters never watch the animated nominees and just vote based on what their kids liked.

Remember when the Irish "Song of the Sea" and the Japanese "Tale of the Princess Kaguya" were dismissed as "obscure f@#ing Chinese things nobody saw" last year?

Well... "Amy" beating "The Look of Silence" for Best Feautre Documentary is disappointing.
