Yikes. Sometimes when I try to go the speed limit I nearly get run over. It's even worse on the way to the TTC entrance. No one goes 35 but me and people fly around me.

I hope the frozen ride isn't a poorly told version of the movie (for reference, see the little mermaid ride and try to make sense of it, as if you've never seen the movie) and that the entire show building gets a full remodel to remove all that mold and grossness.

In 4 minutes...they better talk fast or slow the boats way down
They don't need to remove the mold and grossness, they will just cover it with fake snow

Question: what is Tom Fitzgerald's involvement in the Frozen Norway project?

I think those cloned rides from DCA get a "pass" at DisneySea because so few people have ever been to see them. Or they see the pictures of all that fake seaweed and decide because the purchase orders were approved by Oriental Land Company accountants that the rides must somehow be superior. They aren't. They are clones from DCA. Still cute though.
What's funny is that A Bug's Land at DCA gets any hate at all. It's a little land that's cleverly themed and nicely crafted, with four cute little family rides in it, plus a very good 3D show with It's Tough To Be A Bug (that's gone sparklingly digital and is much better maintained than the DAK version). And it has lots of shade from the California sun, and plenty of benches made out of popsicle sticks.
DCA has 21 rides in the park total. A Bug's Land has 4 of those 21 DCA rides. DHS has 6 rides in the park total. DAK has 7 rides in the park total.
DHS and DAK desperately need rides added, and not all of them can be mega E Tickets with 46 inch height requirements. DHS and DAK, and to a lesser extent Epcot and Magic Kingdom, would be helped immensely if they had A Bug's Land or Mermaid Lagoon area added with these four cute little family rides in them. It would help fill in the threadbare tapestry of missing attractions for the WDW parks.
But if folks want to sniff that A Bug's Land or Mermaid Lagoon are dumbed down additions with cheesy kiddy rides, then so be it. But both A Bug's Land and Mermaid Lagoon are found in parks bursting at the seams with rides and attractions that most WDW parks would kill to have for their guests.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I enjoy Aquatopia, and ride it on every Tokyo visit.
just wondering, does DCA as musical shows like DAK? (DAK as 2, and will have a third with rivers of light).
I know people love to put a lot emphasis on rides alone.

Off the top of my head there is Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular (and it is spectacular), Disney Jr. Live on Stage, World of Color, and a lot of smaller live entertainment like Five and Dime, Mickey and the Newsboys, Goofy conducting the Paradise Bay fountains, live bands at the Paradise Garden Grill seating area, a show with DJ in Cars Land and probably more that I am forgetting. I'm sure @TP2000 will be along presently with photos of all of the current shows at the park.

Those sight lines are awful in DLP, and yeah it's a bit cheap, but I think Toy Story Playland is pretty good for what it is. The parachute gives a good view over the parks, RC Racer's more of a thrill ride than it looks and is good fun, and the shrinking you down to toy size aspect works better than in Toy Story Mania.

Anyone else think it's weird that neither of the Toy Story Playlands include the most successful Toy Story attraction ever? How expensive can TSMM possibly be to build - no sets, busbar system. Seems like WDS and HKDL could benefit from it greatly.

I would have to think so. They are the only Toy Story related lands that capture the film's environments and feeling. Sure Midway Mania tries to justify through back story that you're under Andy's bed, but Toy Story Land seems to do put guests in Andy's backyard as was intended much more effectively. It's pretty easy to build a box that says "Midway Mania" to enclose the attraction and call it a day.
Anybody find the spottiness in quality of Pixar attractions to be amusing? Seems things got better once they started holding WDI/Ops accountable.

I'm hearing the track will be extended, but I doubt it would be much.

Wouldn't mean much either since it wouldn't make a meaningful contribution to capacity. You thought they would have learned from TSMM and Soarin'.

You're not wrong, but we still don't have to like it. I have every expectation that the Frozen attraction will be a solid D Ticket or better attraction that in a vacuum will be substantially better than Maelstrom. My opposition will still remain it's placement.
What tends to happen though is that people excuse a thematic break if the ride is good. That's the best case scenario right now.

I don't like it either.

If they extended it would it be within the existing show building or an expansion of the building itself? I hope at a minimum they don't try to jam the meet and greet into that crowded space. They are gonna need more space for an extended queue.

Speaking of entertainment in Cali, I was wondering if anyone had any more info on the Paint the Night Parade that is suppose to debut for the 60th anniversary celebration.
I know they are getting 2 new floats not in the Asian version, but does anyone know if they are getting more characters or parade dancers added at all? Most parades at Disney have characters walking inbetween the floats and PTN does not, only dancers. Specifically i was wondering mostly about the paint brushes. It seems from the various videos that have released on YouTube, that they don't really do diddly for the floats per say, but the costumes the people in the parade wear, all have sensors on them for the paint brushes. Do you think they would add more characters and such so more people will be able to "paint"? You can see in the videos as the dancers walk up to people in the audience that they point to their sensor on their clothing so it sets it off and their costumes change, but it seems like only a few people actually get to do it...
