disturbing is what made it awesome. Think about it, if it was built brand new today, there'd probably be protests or something...

that's effin hilarious!!

someone mentioned Montu...it's got a quick underground section but I wouldn't call it a tunnel. Kumba has a tunnel but it's not long enough to be really dark.

I looked at the stickied posts and didn't see anything... Anyway, if everything goes as well as the plan so far, I'll definitely be in that area May 4-7, can't wait. I'll be in SoCal for a personal business trip.

is it possible to get a guided tour of SFMM in the first weekend in May?

I've always loved Kumba's paint scheme, and now it looks hawt again

You're right, the cars don't have screens. I was there at the end of October and there were no screens in the cars. I was sure at one time there was one big monitor/tv on the front of the cars, but I went a long time ago

IIRC they already had video screens, but now they'll be hi-res flat screens. I think the ride is great.

the only way that would be possible is if it went 30 feet underground

Screamscape.com is reporting a ride like that for KSC, I guess we'll have to wait and find out. It would be funny if it turned out better than M:S

I don't like it, rode it a few years ago, I thought the launch was actually a bit too intense and the rest of it was too short. The storyline is, well, um, there isn't really one. The graphics are ok, but not incredible. The interactive, wait, non-interactivity of it is a bit of a waste, and really it's a big, fast gravitron with some tvs and joysticks. YES, I know they spent a ton of money on the technology, but it's the same result to me, Seeing 2 people losing their lunch in those nicely placed trash cans outside of the ride didn't help my opinion of it either.

Yes, there are open areas in other parts of the park, but 99% of the inside info I've seen is for JP, so thats where Im thinking.

we need a satellite view: I've highlighted the 3 areas that are often rumored for the new attraction. The lines arent' totally accurate, but they give a general idea of the area. Im looking at the old Trike encounter and I really don't think there's as much space as many people seem to think, so the other 2 areas seem more likely for a new attraction.

But you can't see the tracks or the coaster go by in the Mummy que (or at least not in the Florida version) Im referring to what others said, where you're practically in the middle of the tracks or can go all through the coaster layout.

When I recently visited BGT and finally rode Sheikra, I was amazed at how much you are engulfed by the coaster, just walking around the area. Its practically all around you even though really it's a short ride. I think its really cool when you have an area where you can get a good view of most of the coaster and you can easily see all the elements. What other coasters have areas like this?

You know it would be awesome to go to Japan, but I definitely wouldn't go in December...I haven't been anywhere near snow since I was 3 years old

it did the one time I got up the guts to go on it...and that was 4 years ago. I've never been so scared on a coaster...when it makes loud creaking noises on the "drop" part of it, that's not a good thing to me.

Non-Disney rides: Spiderman MIB Journey to Atlantis (Orlando) Coaster: Alpengeist Dueling Dragons Disney rides: #1 by far....Tower of Terror (Orlando). No other Disney ride gives me such a complete and eerie feeling as walking outside, through the staleness of the outside of the Hollywood Tower Hotel, then seeing an absolutely perfect "frozen moment in time" feel to it, then with them bringing back Rod Serling from the dead and then there's the RIDE itself...it's perfect in every way. second I'll say Splash Mountain

Smart Watermelon is the BEST soda I've ever tasted. It's a highlight of my trip to Epcot every time Im there.

does this mean they won't celebrate new year's every night?

It's called desperation, as Disney is desperate to prove they can do a good 3d animation without Pixar

Thats cool, I guess...ok maybe not

Class of '96, Dr. Phillips High School, the only high school in the world where you can throw rocks at Jurassic Park in IOA from your classroom (of course, I couldn't do that back when I graduated)

I havent played Shadow of the Colossus yet, but Im excited because I loved ICO and this is from the same people.
