Shanghai Disney Resort Discussion Thread
SharkTums replied to Dr Freeze's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^&^^ Are you both 80 year old women? I thought that's Fresca's target demographic!?!? -
And yet there's not a giant backlash over Universal raising their prices like there was over Disney. It really feels sometimes that people just don't like whoever is on top and love to crap all over Disney. The idea that it's more money for a one day park hopper to Universal than it is for a one day park hopper for Disney is just crazy. Plus it's even MORE money if you really think about it because with only two parks you can't spend as much time at Universal and have to pay the higher prices instead of getting the multi-day tickets at Disney as low as $50/day. Don't get me wrong, I will happily pay these prices for all of these parks as it's still a great deal if you compare prices to sporting events, production shows, etc. but I just don't like when journalists and enthusiasts play crazy favorites.

This doesn't even surprise me that much. China really is a 'Pepsi' kind of country. I'm assuming that Pepsi must have GIVEN EVERYTHING UP for this deal to get in a big foreign market with US Ties. Coke has too much pride for this crap! -
^And that's why you're barely skating by on this site!

Parks Coasters and Rides in Movies and TV

The new movie could be 102 minutes of Godzilla sitting taking a dump and it would be better than the Matthew Broderick version!!! -
Is there anyone out there not done with the wheel yet? I'm actually NOT updating so I can still try and get the Tunnel of Love. Please don't update if you're not done yet so we can continue to collect hearts!!!

The scariest Flowrider I've done was the one at Wild Wadi in Dubai. They had a 'normal' one and this terrifying one that tried to drown you if/when you wiped out! -
Shanghai Disney Resort Discussion Thread

^&^^ I kind of chalk this up to "It's China". Yes it's Disney, but they're building a Disney park in a country known for IP Infringement in pretty much every industry. I assume we'll start seeing a lot more pictures of the park as it's being built with lax controls around the property. -
Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread
SharkTums replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^I wonder if he's one of the ex-Paramount leftover guys. I'll never forget the ones that stood up at our lunch and told us how Kings Dominion was so much better than Walt Disney World. I'm glad they're aiming high and I have confidence the ride will be great...for Canada. -
He cancelled his performance at Universal Mardi Gras the day before the event and then was photographed at Disneyland with his family. Now today it's being reported that he's divorcing his wife. I'm calling shenanigans on the 'too sick to perform' excuse and I think it's kind of a slap in the face to Universal. Anyways, I feel like his 15 minutes is fast approaching the end.

I miss the Crystal Maze. -
^Exactly. For the majority of visitors this isn't really a big deal. It more so just punishes random people that come down to go to only ONE Disney park and choose the flagship. Ever since they did the switch to the 'Magic Your Way' Tickets it's been about keeping people on property and rewarding those who stay longer.
