Looks like the 2021ish coaster for SFMM was conditionally approved by the city https://epicla.lacounty.gov/SelfService/#/permit/3f44c971-a566-49fc-95c9-7ae34f7382fd Here is the second request they submitted (Geotechnical Study) https://epicla.lacounty.gov/SelfService/#/plan/34b29751-f381-4f38-b9b3-2cfc55afe0ee Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just because you don’t think it is good, it doesn’t mean the rest of the visiting majority agrees with your opinion. But I guess that’s the beauty of numbers... Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but the numbers will speak for the masses, vocal or not as they may be.

No, dude, they're adding OmniMAX screens to be more like Horizons.

Anyone else getting some serious RCT vibes from seeing just that one piece missing? Like I'm halfway looking for a way to complete the section and get the satisfaction of knowing the circuit lines up right.

It's finally the end of 2020. I propose a toast. Let's raise our cups; let's raise em high! We'll toast its death and watch it die. Good fuggin riddance to ya and may your dick get caught in the door on the way out.

^I've seen English article refer to her as both Fu Bao and Pu Bao from where they've romanized the Korean alphabet. Personally, I think it sounds more like Pu(Poo) Bao. It's one of the penguin teddy bears from the gift shop. Edit: The weekend was fully booked to see the panda so quickly so think I've missed my chance.

Everland's baby panda will go on display from 4th January. Panda World will become reservation only with only 20 people allowed in every 20 minutes. People have already started booking their spaces here

^ Second that, with the Festival Of The Lion King, at HKDL! Part of the Finale. TPR 2012 China/Hong Kong Tour.

Festival of the Lion King at Hong Kong Disneyland is my favorite show with performers. World of Color is my favorite fountain based show and Remember, Dreams Come True is my favorite fireworks show.

@KIEnthusiast, just out of curiosity, when was the last time you visited Epcot, or any Disney park for that matter? Genuine question.

In addition to Six Flags most satanic spiral staircase, we now have a MCBR. With most of the supports and half the track in place, I'd imagine we'll see the rest of this go up pretty quick from here. (Photo ganked out of the Great Adv Conn FB group)

The piece of damaged catwalk was removed this morning.

I think “terrible” is a matter of perspective. Also understand that the person you’re debating this with has a long-proven admiration of Epcot in its classic form... Just look up Epcot’s 25th anniversary for my credentials. Here’s the thing... Classic attractions like Horizons and the original Journey into Imagination were amazing. But by the end of their lifespans they struggled to attract riders. The same is true with both Universe of Energy versions, World of Motion, El Rio del Tiempo and The Seacabs in The Living Seas. These attractions need consistent ridership to justify operation. There are no theme parks (past or present) that have been able to justify operating major attractions (at major expense) without ridership value to offset the cost. Attractions that fall into this rut are either retired, rethemed or removed outright. It isn’t a question of quality—it is a question of appeal. Timeless attractions maintain their appeal—the majority of the attractions in Fantasyland, Adventureland and Frontierland at Disneyland Park and the Magic Kingdom have not been replaced, only plussed because of that enduring appeal. It is easy to gripe or idealize what audiences should want to experience or consume but the proof is always in the numbers. When the appeal has worn off, choices have to be made. Fans may not always like that expansion space and existing attractions are turned over for IP-based projects, but that is what gets guests through the turnstiles these days. The old edutainment approach on its own stopped succeeding in the 90’s... It had to be supplemented with IP and thrill to get guests to come to the park. The things you like about current Epcot couldn’t exist if the popular attractions you call “terrible” hadn’t been added to the park when they were. It was those “terrible” attractions that evidenced a need for more characters, more thrill and more for families... Without those, that park would continue to struggle until more drastic decisions might have needed to be made.

This is satire, right?

It's going to make me think "wow how did they do that" and probably think about how cool of an experience it was. Will probably also make me think "who seriously thinks that Ellen's universe of Energy is better than this?" Then it's going to inspire me to get in line again, and then to renew my annual pass so I can come back many many times to ride an incredible new attraction in my favorite Disney park. That's how it'll make me think and inspire me.

EPCOT is about one thing: making money for Disney. Does Guardians make money? *Glances at box office returns* Why, yes. Yes it does. Case closed.

as soon as i can get that shot in my arm, i'm going somewhere. lol

Holiday World. Voyage. Anybody who has been on it knows it defies all physics and somehow goes from a complete (except HWN) stop to crazy s*itshow in a manner of seconds. Not to say the part before it isn't intense, but it's unbelievable how it keeps its speed especially after that midcourse.

Space Mountain at Disneyland for me. Granted, it's mostly just a bunch of sharp right turns, but they get more and more intense as they go.
