It's 40-ish minutes. I gave it a listen. Recaps most of what we've heard. But also some new stuff. They also mention the rumors of the finale. (That being no showboat)$1 for a 3 minute rumor clip lol. Ok.
Well…. A rock falling onto a guest would indeed freak some people out.Yes, I know they're not as heavy as they look. Same goes for the falling rocks in BTM, but they were still removed permanently after it allegedly freaked the lawyers out.
If they hang a crate from a crane directly overhead guest heads on TBA, i'll admit I was wrong. It will surprise me if they do that.
And I’ll admit we are in the minority - almost all of my friends prefer guardians tower.There’s still many who prefer ToT but the vast majority stopped being negative when the positive reviews started coming in.
I honestly don't think we need an explanation for the logs. Splash Mountain didn't have one, and Peter Pan's Flight doesn't explain the multiple flying pirate ships when there was only one (much larger) one in the movie.You're right, we don't yet know what (if anything) they'll offer as an explanation for the logs.
Of course Iger doesn't want to fix it. Why should they waste money repairing something in that "nondescript coaster that maybe is themed to India or whatever"?Disney doesn't seem to want to fix it.

And in regards to the rumors from that podcast @EagleScout610 brought up... honestly, they sound awful. Why is Mama Odie shrinking us down to the size of a "critter" (which critter specifically? A frog? A Pig? A Cow? A goat?
"hanging" can be an illusion where it is very fixed. It can be done and is still done plenty of times. Even at WDW.
They shrink you down to critter size and send you to Universal Studios?I honestly don't think we need an explanation for the logs. Splash Mountain didn't have one, and Peter Pan's Flight doesn't explain the multiple flying pirate ships when there was only one (much larger) one in the movie.

And the Laughin' Place is gonna be full of screens? Yeesh...
Look up in the various theaters and you’ll see all kinds of lights, fans, speakers, etc. which could all fall as well if not properly installed, maintained, and inspected.Four injured when decorative helicopter falls into pool at American Dream mall
Four people were injured and the American Dream water park was evacuated after a decorative helicopter came crashing down.www.northjersey.com
It happens…
Yes, and they can still fall if they’re properly installed, maintained and inspected…we had a fast, casual restaurant called Quaker Steak& Lube…decorated like a garage…great concept that unfortunately failed & went out of business. They had a ‘57 Chevy hanging upside down from the ceiling…needless to say I never sat in the tables underneath it…Look up in the various theaters and you’ll see all kinds of lights, fans, speakers, etc. which could all fall as well if not properly installed, maintained, and inspected.
Not sure how that’s possible?Yes, and they can still fall if they’re properly installed, maintained and inspected
Maybe it warrants people stating what their expectations and standards are for the ride. I'm curious what yours are.
For this ride to be at all acceptable by MY standards, it needs to contain at least the same amount of AA's that Splash had (of an equal or better quality). They need to properly fill out the scenes as well, i'd better not see the finale for instance only have a fraction of what Splash had. And the scenery itself needs to be high quality and not overly reliant on flat projections at the expense of physical detail.
While I agree 100%, it looks like they're at least probably taking good care of the ceiling coverage. The interior shots from a month ago had plenty of foliage up there. That's one aspect i'm now fairly confident will be done right.I would also add that they need to theme the area above you just like splash had with the tree branches and leaves. That seems to be a lost necessity for imagineering, in which they focus on what’s on your left and right but above you will be duct work just painted black.
Eh…. Parts of Maelstrom to Frozen were done right and others were done crazy cheap. If they had gone all out to make Frozen special I wouldn’t be as annoyed. But snowflakes on screens where there used to be AA’s is not how to impress me.While I agree 100%, it looks like they're at least probably taking good care of the ceiling coverage.

What AAs? Maelstrom was very limited motions or still figures.Eh…. Parts of Maelstrom to Frozen were done right and others were done crazy cheap. If they had gone all out to make Frozen special I wouldn’t be as annoyed. But snowflakes on screens where there used to be AA’s is not how to impress me.
Yeah but Frozen isn't always been—will always be—adventure!What AAs? Maelstrom was very limited motions or still figures.
I can't think of a single scene in Frozen that properly filled out and hid the ceiling. Even the scene at the beginning with Olaf. That's probably the best looking scene in the ride, and they did use a bit of ice-covered vines there, but it's not particularly dense and the blank ceiling and wall space (along with mechanical stuff) is extremely visible if you look up or on the other side.Eh….

Your point about some scenes potentially being better decorated than others is a possibility. However, I will still at least say that the shot they shared of TBA's interior already looks better filled out than ANY of Frozen's scenes. They seem to have kept the original trees and branches inside the ride, and it's not a huge deal to just swap out old greenery with new. I expect if nothing else, the ride will have ample foliage inside (and certainly outside).
From what I've heard, they actually went overboard and purchased more than enough foliage needed for the ride. As in WAY too much. Enough to do stuff with another attraction. You might even be able to deduce which one i'm referring to.
One recent ride that did a really great job at ceiling coverage was Navi River. Probably one of the reasons why I enjoy the ride and often defend it (despite its other flaws).
All I know is that the foliage they allegedly bought way too much of would be used for the interior scenes in another attraction. That is, if what I was told turns out to be accurate. And i'm inclined to believe it at the moment given what little is already known about said attraction.yeah but for the outside or inside?
I’m glad they are keeping the ceilings covered. My one concern is that too much of the set design and set pieces end up being just foliage.Your point about some scenes potentially being better decorated than others is a possibility.
