I was really surprised by ZED. I thought they would eat it up. I guess not though! I really like Cirque du Soleil and hope this helps strengthen their operations and be more efficient. I'm going to see their movie tomorrow. Seems a little odd to have them make a movie again. It's not getting the best reviews, but we'll see.

I love how people bash a ride before they ride it, OR praise it like it's going to be the greatest thing before they ride it. You can absolutely think it may not be that thrilling, or it could be really good, but to say it will absolutely be terrible, or it is the best wing-rider before riding it doesn't really work. To me, it looks like a fun ride, but after hearing all the reviews for other wing riders I'm not going to expect some amazing super-thrill ride.

^LOL! It definitely must be a reality check for them to play at amusement parks, but you can't always be at the top!

^I don't see yours.

I went last year and really enjoyed the event. Not that huge of an event, but the BBQ was really really good!

That's a lot of wood! It's coming along great. I still can't believe CGA is finally getting a new coaster!

Ok, let me re-word my previous statement about one park. It was in regards to this statement While FP+ allows you to reserve FP's for only one park (as pointed out above), I don't see how you can jump to the conclusion that it essentially removes park hopping. Do you honestly think Disney would punish resort guests (the ones they get the most money from) and only allow them to visit one park, and get only 4 FP's, while non-resort guests could go from park to park and get as many FP's as available? Again, you're assuming almost everything as fact. Disney has released only general information, and they have said over and over they will change it as needed. It's still in the basic/testing phases still, yet so many people are assuming that it is set in stone. No one, especially top Disney boards, knows exactly how it's going to work. Even Disney themselves say they are still in the process of tweaking it. Fast pass helps their bottom line? If you mean I don't have to wait in line so I'm buying ice cream, yeah, it helped the bottom line. Why is that a bad thing? Last time I checked, Disney was a company, and their sole purpose is to make money. From day one, Disneyland/Disney World was built to make money. I really don't understand anti-FP people. Fast Pass is amazing, and it works, and it's free (even with FP+ they said there would still be a free option). I've also never met an anti-FP who doesn't use FP. And I'm sorry, but saying Disney never proved they know anything about line management is just plain wrong. Every single company in the world tries to copy Disney's line management so they must be doing something right.

Here's mine.

Really? Property guests can only have 4 FP's per day no matter what? I wouldn't trust most fan sites. There is no way that Disney is only going to allow their resort guests to get only 4 FP's a day, while those who stay off property and don't have FP+ will be able to get a lot more. I've heard that you can pre-reserve 4 FP's, but you can still get all the normal FP's and they will be added to your FP+. If anyone can do it right, it's Disney. I really don't think we'll see any major difference from how things currently run. Really, they are just changing the format for FP's. It's going from paper to digital. The pre-reserve definitely changes things, but I don't see it being as terrible as most people think. I also don't understand how this will ruin early rides. I really don't see this happening for the same reason it doesn't happen now. People don't like to get up that early, and the FP's are always delayed on opening. Even if they do allow FP+ to start right at opening do you really think a couple hundred people are going to head to Splash Mountain right away early in the morning. All the popular rides already get a lot of people there (like Peter Pan) so it really doesn't matter. Remove park hopping? Nowhere have I seen anything said about FP+ only working at one location per day. I really don't understand why people are guessing how this entire thing will work. Like I said before, if anyone can get it right, it's Disney. Give them a chance to actually announce more details and actually start implementing it before deciding how it will work.

And I'm sure they miss your patronage. Have you ever considered competitive eating? I probably should, I could use the money!

Cool, I'll give it a shot.

I always love BBQ updates! BBQ is up there with doughnuts as one of my all-time favorites!

I wonder if Vortex will be given the backward treatment. If it does, I'm thinking instead of trying to beat you to death, it actually WILL beat you to death!

Definitely 1000 times better than what it was before.

I was just remembering the amazing S'mores cart at Hersheypark. Those were so good!

I really wanted to like Kid Icarus but couldn't get past the controls. I'll probably give it another go, but I really wish they would have updated it to allow the use of the dual stick controllers.

Really? A seat made out thick plywood with no padding at an awkward angle isn't comfortable? Those seats really are terrible. I really can't believe they didn't do more to them to make them even just a little comfortable.

Wow, pretty interesting. Really can't wait to hear the reports from actual riders.

This one...[attachment=0]pocky.jpg[/attachment] I hope WCB 2013 has Pocky ERT! That would be the best ERT yet!

Very interesting! I'd love to at least see a trailer, but even that will probably never happen.

Really loved this update! Some really hilarious stuff. I'm glad Larry found a new friend at the beach. I also loved all the "engrish." Great update!

^LOL! I would have been covered head to toe in a poncho.

The limited time magic events for DLR seem so much better than the ones for WDW. The new food offerings alone make me want to take an extra trip to DL!

It really was perfect. Definitely not bland!

The new bakery in France is amazing! I like it a lot better than the previous location. Definitely a lot bigger than before, and the food seems a lot better as well. The creme brûlée was absolutely restaurant quality. Where else can you get a restaurant quality creme brûlée at a counter service restaurant! Really amazing stuff.
