We will be at the hard hat tour tomorrow. Watch our socials. Going to try to live stream if the connection is good.

We have park discussion threads that is would be more appropriate in. Otherwise we are just discussing the same thing in two different threads.

Why would you want to do that???

I'm pretty sure I only know half the words you typed out in that post! lol

Re: Smoking Expect to see ALL of the sections eventually phased out. While I would tend to agree as I don't feel there is any need to cater to smokers anymore, the problem is going to be that if there aren't any smoking areas, they will just be obnoxious and smoke wherever the hell they want to. Maybe they'll just keep that one little tiny area by Big Thunder Mountain, or... they can do what Tokyo Disney does and just shove them all in a box! lol

And Bandit could close as well and I wouldn't feel a bit sad!

Agreed. Thread locked.

This is actually my thought exactly. What's sort of interesting is that had Ratatouille opened like NOW (or maybe even before Flight of Passage to be honest) people would be like OMG THAT RIDE IS AWESOME! GO WDW!!! But after Pandora and all those other attractions it's still going to be GOOD but it will most certainly not be the cream of the crop anymore. I'm not disappointed by it's arrival, not by any means. And it will most certainly complement and INSANE amount of stuff happening at Walt Disney World let alone all of Orlando. (And have we heard any more possible rumors on the RMC Gwazi lately???)

Wait, what? You changed this half-way through? Ugh. I'm not a huge fan of these types of things to begin with, and if you're not going to think it through and just make changes after other people have responded...that's just dumb. Thread locked.

Yeah, I have to be honest, I thought it was a "good" ride, but not "great." I'd give it a solid B. The thing is, once you've been on Mystic Manor, Pooh, or even Aquatopia it's hard not to compare it, because you see other (read: better) examples of what that ride technology can do. And while I appreciate what the ride is, and I enjoyed it ever time I rode it, there is part of me that can't help but to think the same thing as I do when I ride the SeaWorld Antartica ride "Wait, you mean to tell me you spent all this money on a super expensive ride system only to put me in front of a giant movie screen???" To be honest, I shouldn't compare that ride to Antarctica because the Ratatouille ride is at least GOOD where the SeaWorld ride is not! Here's a complete POV of the Paris ride: It's pretty much exactly as it shows in the video. Not a bad ride by any means, but not Disney's crowning achievement either.

It's easy. Everything is done on your smartphone and the options just keep getting better and easier to manage!

I think the makeover of Future World will help bring events like Food & Wine and Flower & Garden into those areas, and since those events now are in the park nearly half of the year and getting more and more crowded every year, I think that would be a great way to expand them.

And if anyone is wondering where exactly Tron is going at Magic Kingdom, the yellow arrow points to the walking path that is in the concept art which currently exists in the park...

Disney does not care about, nor do they react to anything Universal does. I really wish people would stop thinking this way, because it is wrong.

Adam will have a full report from D23 soon. I know some people just *HAVE TO BE FIRST* by posting the information, but that doesn't make you look cool to us, in fact, it makes it so we have more work to do. So please don't do that. As a re-cap, here is what was announced: - Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway (Replacing Great Movie Ride) - Ratatouille is coming to the France pavilion at Epcot - A new, seamless Circlevision film is coming to the Epcot China Pavilion - Guardians of the Galaxy is coming to Epcot - Tron Lightcycle Power Run is coming to the Magic Kingdom - Mission: Space will open with a new Green Mission film for families and a reanimated Orange Mission - New table service restaurant at Mission: Space - The Disney Skyliner gondola system will debut at Walt Disney World resorts - A new theater attraction will open on Main Street USA at the Magic Kingdom - The "Minnie Van" uber-like driving service has been announced WDW Resort - Hotel Riviera Disney Vacation Club Resort - Star Wars-Inspired Themed Resort at Walt Disney World planned Please wait for Adam's updates later. Thank you.

OK fine... in no real order.... Phoenix Kärnan Velociraptor Space Mountain (MK) Mummy Mr. Freeze Tron Space Fantasy Big Grizzly Mountain Big Thunder Mountain (DLP) What can I say? If I can't have an RMC or Intamin, I'll take some kick ass Disney themed coasters and a few others...

Phoenix. Um.... That's probably about it. Everything is just sort of... eh.... Wait... maybe add Kärnan? Anything else? Velociraptor, perhaps? Blackpool's Wild Mouse? Montezooma's Revenge? Probably Magic Kingdom's Space Mountain... I dunno...this one seems kind of dumb... Honestly, anything that's not Intamin or RMC is just sort of "eh, whatever" for me most of the time... EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot about Mummy and Mr. Freeze. I like those two, I think... OH!!! And Tron! That counts, right? Yeah, add Tron... Hell, add Space Fantasy also... (but not the stupid VR version)

In no particular order off the top of my head, and I'm sure I'm probably forgetting some... Expedition GeForce Goliath (Walibi Holland) Kumba Montu Outlaw Run Wildfire (Kolmarden) Balder Formula Rossa Mega-Lite (Kawasemi, Piraten, etc) Phoenix

That's the thing about the Tron coaster. It's an "OK" coaster through an *AMAZING* show. And if that ride happens, it would not be smart IMO for Universal to build a motorbike coaster because they'd be up against the best indoor attraction I've ever been on, and that bar has been raised VERY high.
