I actually think there were many ways to incorporate the songs (which are what most people want IMHO). When I heard the attraction originally pitched with the Louie's trumpet storyline, I had assumed that was going to be what happened. Louie has a magic trumpet that could easily be used as the plot device to move us from song to song - his trumpet bringing the scenes to life. Even when they said Facillier wouldn't be included, I assumed Friends would still play - he would just likely be a nod (as he's now on the other side and likely a shadow himself).

^Riding DHS ToT will ruin DCA ToT. I know because it’s exactly what happened to me when I rode DL’s Pirates. Before Pirates was right up with HM, but ever since due to sheer amazingness of DL Pirates, MK Pirates has lost its luster. DCA ToT didn’t even get the chance of being my first ToT so it doesn’t even get the nostalgia bump.

I’ll give you theming wise it fit far better in DCA then GotG does, but other then that I still think Guardians is better.

Also for the record, with the exception of ToT, Splash, HM, First half of Peter Pan, Castle, and Pooh I think the non cloned DL versions are better than WDW. So it’s not “first resort bias.”

I just saw that you added another paragraph to your post after I responded. Nowhere did I say that you have first resort bias. First resort bias would be if I tried to use that as an explanation for why you may prefer TOT at DHS to TOT at DCA. That’s not what we were talking about. I was offering an explanation on why GOTG ranks higher for people who live by WDW (or travel to both resorts often). It’s a win win for those folks no matter how you look at it. Not to say there aren’t some people who might just genuinely prefer GOTG: MB based on its own merits. However poor I think that opinion may be.

As a theme park nerd I’d be upset if they got rid of POTC at MK before I had a chance to ride. But after I ride it id probably be ok if they announced that MK’s POTC was getting the Shanghai treatment …as unrealistic as that may be.

Have you done ToT in Paris?

It’s a physical copy of the original DCA ToT (which I prefer to the ugly GotG exterior) but has been updated with a ride cycle similar to GotG (which I find far more fun than the original ToT cycle).

It’s very good, still not sure I’d place it above HS ToT but it would be very close.

Nothing they can do to the ToT 2.0 ride system in any location will make it anywhere near as good as the original DHS version. It is practically theme park perfection, and the economy version that has been built since doesn't even come close.

My immediate thought is to compare this permanent work with the temporary but absolutely spot-on period graphic work Universal does with the tribute stores. Big difference.

I am always amazed by those. I should go to their guest service next visit and pay them a compliment on them.

(We're getting really off-topic by this point but this will be my last thing on ToT), I grew up going to Disney World every summer, and WDW's ToT was my first experience. I went to Disneyland the year their ToT opened, and as a seven-year-old I could already tell it was inferior. The "wave goodbye" and the lack of Rod Serling's final address before you fall stand out as the big issues, but by far the most egregious is the fact that once the elevator doors open and you're about to board, you step first into a hallway rather than the elevator itself. It made no thematic sense whatsoever.

You are missing out on DHS' ToT. It's a masterpiece. I cannot say that enough.

The first few times I wasn't sure if it was just an omission, or the blog author's decision. With it being included in yesterday's earnings report in the 2024 list, when there was also a "late 2024" list, I think it is a safe bet to say it isn't just an omission at this point - so I feel comfortable writing that article.
