The Spirited Back Nine ...

I am perpetually amazed how wide absolute misnomers and untruths and falsehoods that some people accept as fact.

The next thing you're going to tell me, is that that is a actual DC-3 in the middle of the Casablanca scene in great movie ride…

Well thats just ridiculous, because its a Lockheed Model 12 Electra Jr.

Complete agreement. Great land, very good queue, mediocre ride with nothing that isn't done better elsewhere on property.

Agree for the most part -- except the 3D on Gringotts is the best on property IMO. I think it's even better than Spidey's 3D, which was previously the gold standard.

It is never ever never ever never ever in the 25 years of its history held water.

Ummm....it has held air and the air in Florida is very humid Mr. Smarty Pants.

It's comforting to know that the Muppets will be blended into the new Star Wars Land.

I've added the Pigs in Space pavilion to my "Disney's Islands of Adventurous Fun Stuff to do in Hollywood not Directly Related to MGM" developmental news, notes and rumors blog.

Wakko, Yakko, and Dot are locked in the water tower.

Never heard of them.

But it is, isn't it ?

I wonder how accurate this is...in general layout...View attachment 71741

There is no telling what they might do. If GMR isn't safe, they may put Pixar and TS where GMR is. Cars Land in place of where Pixar and TS is marked on the map, SW around current Star Wars, maybe even on streets of America.

I don't really think Streets of America will stay. I feel like Muppets should be safe..

I feel like TS and Pixar is a last priority (aside from the TS ride track). If they scrap ideas, I think it will be TS and Pixar expansion and GMR will stay.

I wouldn't say Gringotts is mediocre at all. You want a mediocre ride at Universal? Look no further than Dr. Doom's Fear Fall.

Well naturally they'll coexist, per the great prophecy from the early 80s.

Or Despicable Me... God that ride is awful.

@WDW1974 THANKS!

It's been filled with gasoline

I have a very good source that told me there is a basketball court in the water tank...

 

[Tony Perkis]

That's the reason I've never gone to a HHN. A friend who did told me it was worse than Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Having been to one of those....yeah...no thank yew.

But Mardi Gras is awesome.

I would love to see a Guardians of the Galaxy Retheme for Rock N' Roller Coaster. Awesome soundtrack!

This overlay makes no logical sense.

 

[FigmentJedi]

This overlay makes no logical sense.

Switching out the Aerosmith music/theme for tracks on the Awesome Mixtape comes to mind.

And it's not like there isn't already a sci-fi themed version of Rock 'n Rollercoaster: That's what they did at Paramount's King Island for their copy of that track layout.

Then that'd be a huge waste of the property. Why not just throw any film with a good 70's/80's soundtrack in there? Same concept. At least RnRC has a story, albeit a fairly mediocre one.

Yeah, Guardians deserves its own ride. Not an overlay of an existing one.

Flight of Fear is not the same track layout and opened three years before Rock 'n Rollercoaster.

So a monorail expansion is not part of this make over?

So much hate for Dr Doom, but I love it, best views on property. I think it's probably the only attraction I'm guaranteed to do every visit (mainly due to permanently being a walk-on via the single rider line).
