Takabisha is my favorite since Monster is an Infinity Coaster.

Agreed, this year’s IAAPA is really slow. Everything’s announced online anyway.

RIP

Does Everest count? I know it’s just an S bend without the Yeti but it just works so well. Some of the best: Maverick, Outlaw Run, Big Grizzly Mountain, Python in Bamboo Forest, Eejanaika (facing down on the brake run), Space Fantasy, Silver Bullet, Raven, Fire Dragon. Some of the worst: Adventure Express, Gatekeeper, Voyage (gosh just end it already!), Storm Chaser, BTMR DL and MK, Cheetah Hunt (it’s awkward, like the cheetah caught its prey and is twisting its neck to kill it), Powder Keg.

Can confirm El Toro everything else sucks.

Definitely skip Pooh, it’s exactly the same as the one in MK, Disneyland, HKDL and SHDL for sure.

Efteling seems to like to give smaller/inexperienced companies big projects. Which is a good thing!

People seem to forget about Green Lantern...

Stick to Hilton Tokyo Bay this time and book a Disney hotel for your next visit because you WILL want to go back ASAP anyway.

retrack?

X2 is rough, but Eejanaika and Dinoconda were born because of it so I’ll give it that.

It’s cute to think about how the park will let it duel for 12 cycles and then just run them separately for the rest of their life spans.

Loving the colors!

Planning a winter break trip to the area and visiting dollywood for the first time. What kind of crowd can I expect from Dec 26th to 31st? Also which one of the days is likely to be less crowded and what should I expect in terms of ride operation?

Can’t wait to watch this show in person in 10 Days!

About Steel Vengence wait time, for such a long ride, I would imagine they would be running at full capacity constantly with three trains.

Stand near TSMM when you are watching Fantasmic and enter the standby when the show ends. Indy’s single rider line is magical. Raging Spirits’ single rider doesn’t work too well.

^ It’s really hard to theme a massive and naked outdoors coaster (Hulk, Dragons RIP, Flying Dinosaurs, etc). That’s why “mountains” exists. Screamin’ is to mimic a wood coaster at a boardwalk and it basically acts as a back drop of the pier so the coaster itself is a theme for the area. The main theme added would have to be in the queue anyway.

Since this is a permanent installation, can’t think of many cases since Iger became the CEO. Screamin’ is a huge ride with insane capacity. I think it doesn’t get that big of a line partially because it’s basically the back drop of Paradise Pier and it’s more of a standard roller coaster with a great bonus soundtrack. With the theme of The Incredibles, story and detail are added to an otherwise nothing special ride that takes up a huge amount of space and doesn’t really help with park attendance. It can help deal with the crowd at RSR and Guardians. Not to mention a themed attraction is better for selling merch anyway.

Might be unpopular opinion but I like the retheme of Paradise Pier. Remember the CEO is now Iger so I don’t think we need to worry about anything being cheap as it simply doesn’t happen that often in Disney anymore (Besides Hyperspace Mountain damn that thing is so cheap) Besides, everything is concept art and details of course can’t be presented through the few sketches we are seeing.

Time has passed, move on.

It’s a very fun ride, but it takes up so much speae and I personally think it’s a couple of animatronics away from a true E ticket that lives up to the general quality of what DCA is offering.

Those poor actors. Selling their souls for this

In the main major cities I usually prefer subway (Only applies to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen so far) simply because I would like to avoid traffic jams and honestly subway is the clearest way for international guests. But if you want to get straight to the point without having to transfer, taxi all the way. If you are confident with your Chinese reading then you can download the Didi app (Uber knock-off) and that would save you some money.

^ Taxi. Don’t waste your time on public transit.
