  1. Looks like it's back, right? YouTube has glitched out like this before. I blame Pokemon.
  2. Here's a video of a pretty kick ass ride at Cinecitta World:
  3. A 10 second Google search will confirm this!
  4. I'm not sure I understand this. How can they be available to only season pass holders? The game has no way of knowing who has a pass.
  5. I really don't understand the point of the people who seem to be priding themselves on NOT doing something. Here's a news flash for you - No one gives a crap. I mean, I'm sure there's a lot of things that I don't do that other people do, but you don't see me making posts like.... "Who else doesn't listen to country music besides me?" in the country music thread? "Who else doesn't eat pizza besides me?" in some food thread, etc, etc... So here's the deal, if you play the game, GREAT! If you don't play the game.... WHY ARE YOU EVEN READING THIS THREAD?!?!?!? --Robb "Just can't stand pointless stupid posts from moronic people..."

  6. With all the expansion going on at Disney Springs lately, and all these new amazing restaurants opening up one after another, we figured we'd get caught up on things and have dinner at the new STK which is right around the corner from the new Town Center, Morimoto Asia, and a number of other new locations. Here's how it went.... Going to have dinner at STK Orlando! Looking forward to a great meal! Here's a look at the menu. Yessss! Shark Tank wine! We have started our drinking tour of STK with a Strawberry Cobbler! The appetizer round at STK! Holy cow those mini burgers are AMAZING!!! It's all great! Wow! The red chili pepper in the "secret affair" really sneaks up on you! Great drink! It's dinner time!!! Amazing steaks & sides! 5 cheese mac & cheese FTW!!! A "bag-o-donuts" & Orange Dream Cheesecake for dessert! WOW!!! Awesome meal at STK tonight! If you love high end steak, we recommend it when you're at DisneySprings!
  7. Here's a really amazing 4K version of the new Frozen Ride! Enjoy!
  8. Speaking of Epcot... Tutto Gusto at the Italy pavilion has sent me some new information and pics for their frozen drinks they are offering this summer. I cannot recommend the restaurants in Italy enough, so this is a nice welcome (and cool) addition! Be sure to check it out when you're at the park!
  9. And now Epcot is the park that Kristen (who is 9 years old) asks us to take her to the most! So anyone who is going to try to convince me that what Epcot has been doing the past ten or so years is a step in the wrong direction, I will gladly laugh loudly in their face.
  10. And not only do the only like Disney, but they are totally neurotic about Disney. For many of them, it's impossible to see all the great things happening in the park and they complain about the most petty ridiculous things. I've actually seen stuff like "I can't believe some of the paint is peeling in Carousel of Progress" and "I got in the Peoplemover car and it was a MESS WITH CRUMBS!!!!" Seriously, this the kind of absolutely CRAZY stuff these people complain about. They can no longer go to the parks and have fun, they HAVE to look for things to bitch and complain about from the smallest most mundane item to "How DARE they remove Maelstrom!!!!" They all feel like the parks should be catering to THEIR personal preferences and don't give a crap and refuse to understand how or why the parks operate the way they do and have zero appreciation for the hard work and insane amount of effort being put into everything that happens in the parks. I hate it. Can't stand these people. Don't want to hang out with them at the parks and I don't want them anywhere on our forum. I mean, the parks just spent MILLIONS OF DOLLARS doing things like building a 3rd Soarin theater, building a 3rd track on Toy Story Mania, adding new animatronics to the Mexico Boat Ride. Things that are totally transparent to the average guest and won't make them back a single penny. They do these things to increase the guest experience. Do you see many other parks making these sort of expensive investments just so that "guests can have a better day?" So take your complaining about crumbs on the Peoplemover or toilets not working or whatever stupid crap all those other sites want to bitch about, and stay there. The rest of us will go and have a good time at Walt Disney World!
  11. Just because a bunch of other idiots have the same opinion you do doesn't make your opinion any less stupid. IMO, all those horrible people can just STAY there. Die-hard WDW Fanboys are some of the worst people I have ever encountered in my life. The parks and resorts at the moment look the BEST they have in years...decades even. The parks are seeing new attractions, improvements, and park updates pop up all over the place, and the whole resort is more popular than ever. But these groups of die-hard fans want their "museum" parks back to exactly how they were in the 1970s and 1980s. Guess what? All they have proved over the years are things like all that "educational focus" didn't work, wasn't profitable, and people weren't interested. As a Walt Disney World park fan myself (I'm at the parks probably 3-5 nights a week) I am ecstatic that they are turning the parks around, expanding the resort property, and I celebrate that fact with everyone else who is loving the parks almost every day. Do I miss rides like Horizons or Alien Encounter? Sure. I guess. But I also *LOVE* all the new additions and changes they are making. If you want parks to be a museum, you're doing it wrong, and you should probably frequent places like the Smithsonian or the Lovre instead. But please, do us all a favor. Take your antiquated opinions back over to WDW Magic and stay there with all the other batshit crazy WDW fanboys that we make fun of here. Thanks.
  12. I know, right? How DARE Disney capitalize on their own properties and feature some of the more popular iconic characters the company has come up with in decades in their parks. What a terrible, TERRIBLE thing to do. Seriously, your rant is so incredibly stupid it boggles my mind. Here's an idea for you... if you don't like what the parks have become, DON'T VISIT THEM! We would all be very happy without people like you complaining about everything the park does. We rode Frozen again tonight and the ride is just FANTASTIC! It's so much better than Maelstrom and absolutely a wonderful use of that space. I don't even see how anyone could go into all that new doubly expanded Norway area and say it doesn't fit in, because it fits perfectly into what was there before so much that it feels like it's been there forever. Here's a protip! We got in line right before the park closed at 9pm tonight. It was sign posted 60 minutes. We got in line at 8:57 and we were boarding our boats at 9:18. Only a 21 minute wait! So if you want to avoid the crowds and longer lines, just go right when the park is closing!
  13. I fail to see how this is a bad thing. So parks are taking advantage of the game and encouraging people to go outside, come to the parks, walk around and have fun in addition to riding coasters and stuff? I'm sorry but anyone who thinks this is not good for parks or for humanity is a complete moron. All I ask is that people play safe, follow the rules, and don't do stupid crap. But we didn't need Pokemon Go for this to be an issue. I don't think that Pokémon Go is a bad thing in any way and I really like it. I was just saying that it's going to get sort of dangerous if people start getting careless. <--Being what "out of hand" is referring to. I see like everyone on their phones at parks and I'm starting to get worried. Wait, I'm confused. Are you suggesting humanity wasn't stupid and wasn't always on their phones BEFORE Pokemon GO????
  14. So even though there was a short server outage today, we managed to get some good playing in this morning at SeaWorld where they added lure's to their Pokestops! Check it out... This morning we are @SeaWorld catching #Pokemon! #GottaSEAEmAll #pokemongo Tons of lures set up! Wild Magikarp hanging out in the water at the entrance to @SeaWorld! Did you know that #Pokemon also love the roller coasters @SeaWorld? Finding people all over @SeaWorld playing #PokemonGo! Almost there Magikarp! This Krabby #Pokemon just hanging out by the water @SeaWorld! Make sure you take lots of awkward #PokemonGo "butt photos" while you play! While playing #PokemonGo @SeaWorld remember follow park rules! No phones on rides/restricted areas! This Venonat is going to join us @SeaWorld shark encounter! The Venonat #Pokemon has taken a liking to the diver @SeaWorld Shark Encounter! Look out Pidgey! There's sharks in that water! And of course while @SeaWorld we are taking a ride on #Mako & Kraken!
  15. I saw that! Monte Carlo tweeted something about them adding lure's to their Pokestops today!
  16. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train POV: Check out the Shanghai Disney version of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train roller coaster! Thanks to Brent Yin for shooting the footage
  17. Here's the video that Universal published from the official opening of the ride:
  18. I know. I meant his comment as a response to the one I quoted above it.
  19. I can't think of a better response to this other than what was written here... You know there are a lot of things in the world I don't like, but I don't go out of my way to hate on them for the sake of hate. With all the insane craziness going on in the world right now would it really be too much to ask to just stop being outright assholes to each other and appreciate the while one person likes to listen to country music, another person might want to play Pokemon. Maybe I'm a fan of both of those things, maybe I don't like either. But you won't find me going out of my way to make hate comments about them just because someone else enjoys them and I don't. FFS people stop the complaining. It's so god damn annoying!
  20. Honestly, I have to ask. If you admit that you're not playing the game, why are you even in this thread? I seriously just don't understand people that make comments and assumptions about something that they aren't even choosing to be a part of. If you're not playing then why don't you just leave those concerns to the people who are and the parks that are hosting them? Oh, and to answer your question, Google told me in about 15 seconds of searching: http://bfy.tw/6lIg and here: http://bfy.tw/6lIs
  21. Wow, did you get kicked in the balls repeatedly as a child or something??? You know, you can also choose NOT participate in something and NOT be a raging shitbag about it also. That's your choice.
  22. Actually, "Technical rehearsal" sounds better than "The ride isn't officially open so we don't have any obligation to open it for you whatsoever, but we're being generous enough to open it on days that we can do some tweak & adjust, which we could probably do with water dummies or empty trains, but we are trying to get as many people on the ride as possible, so stop being ungrateful." Except for about a week it was actually"open" then the recall and it went back into tech rehearsal. Pardon me for trying to logic and reason to explain something. I forgot that quite a few contributors to this thread and shown that they are not smart enough to understand that. I understand both logic AND reason, and am quite smart. Just stating that the ride did shift from tech rehearsal to "open" then back to tech rehearsal. I'm sure there was both logic and reason to that decision, though I can see where it would be confusing to some people planning visits to the park. As the moderator of this forum who ctiticizes other for making disparaging remarks to others, aren't you kind of doing the same here by responding to two quotes with an insult to their intelligence? I have zero patience with people who are just going to sit here and argue with nonsensical reasoning and complete disrespect for the people who pay the bills around here.
