News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

You're making a lot of guesses and assumptions based on no information.

The people correcting you have access to people within Disney (or one of their vendors) who know what is really happening -- without guessing, without making assumptions.

Please stop trying to correct people who have real information and accept that you don't know what they know and thus, your guesses and assumptions are incorrect.

Not trying to pick a fight or be hostile, but I gotta say, just because someone is an insider doesn’t mean they actually know the motivations behind the decisions. You’re right, they probably do know more, but just shutting down alternative speculation is just nonsense. Same goes for the quarterly earnings calls - that you are very good at reporting. Just because leadership says something doesn’t mean it’s true. If it does, I have a bridge we should talk about that I could sell to you on the cheap. Or maybe Josh could sell you on the idea that park reservations are solely there to improve guest experience.

Edit: I think I did a time warp thing. My bad if this was a response to a post from a long time ago. My phone told me it was from a few mins ago.

Sure, but sweat transmitted to your back is unlikely to lead to spread of disease.

You’re pretty much right, but I’m just going to say Monkeypox… definitely cases of transmission from linens and towels. My brother was one of them.

That leads to epistemological nihilism... that we can know nothing.

Speculation is just that, mere speculation. It's truth quotient can be anywhere from 0% to 100%.

When we have facts that are actual facts to back up speculation, the truth quotient goes up.

And if we have facts that contradict mere speculation, then the truth quotient of that speculation goes way down.

When we have witnesses, that is 'insiders', who can vouch for things outside the public view, the truth quotient gets very high.

Just because we're not 100% sure of something doesn't mean it's equal to mere speculation. Having about a 80%-99% surety from an insider is very different from mere speculation which can be completely false.

Also, many who speculate love to do so in a way that makes it seem that their guess is almost certainly true (over 90%!) when it can be completely false. Speculators need to frame their guesses as guesses than as proclamations.

Also... over the past several years, there's a low tolerance among many, including myself, regarding fact-free speculation. We call that "conspiracy theories" and "science denial" and "ideological propaganda." So, when someone spouts off that their guess is most probably 'the truth'... I ain't gonna let that be. Show your work.

It may have been mentioned before and I missed it but I just noticed it is sponsored by Enterprise car rental.

Anybody but Southwest Airlines!

Thrill rides are always more exciting when there is a non-zero chance of falling out. That’s why I always keep my RnRC restraint 2 clicks looser than it should be.

Live while you’re alive! right up to the moment when you fall out of your amusement ride seat!

FTFY

I see, conflating speculation about the delayed opening date of a rollercoaster with COVID denial. Are you made of straw much? The conspiracy theories are just out of control about whether what ride could be technically ready to open earlier. Chill out man, it’s a blog discussion.

Well, in that case, you probably don't even want to think about straddling a motorcycle seat someone else's sweaty crotch was just wrapped around...

It's a good thing you're not trying to pick a fight or be hostile.

I'll just keeping doing as I please. And if you don't like it, chill out, man, it's a blog discussion.

Touché. I’m quite chill actually, I’d like to be friends.

Seriously though, I’m a pretty chill person. The only time I get hostile is when people seem to imply I am stupid. So my bad

Mr Penguin likes to provoke people......

I hate it, but it pays well.

For Tron, it’ll be worth it

But back sweat is nasty.

Here is a picture for anyone interested in what you are discussing here. I don't for sure, but I would imagine you would be able to wait for this row, possibly similar to how there is a dedicated line for front row at Cosmic Rewind.

I’m sure they’ll allow it. And there will probably be a heck of a line for it too, due to the… proportional differences of Americans vs Chinese.

 

[Buried20KLeague]

Will it, though? Lol

My back sweat is more pure than Dasani.

Not a high bar

Do you…. Boil it down or how does that work?
