  1. Add the peoplemover track to that list...need to get rid of it if they don't plan to use it ever again.
  2. I would imagine they will follow Orlando's model and only offer WWoHP access with the VIP tour.
  3. No sleep+energy drinks+marathoning coasters at SFMM=Sorry I messed up Robb and Elissa!
  4. I would be willing to believe the downtime theory as well...that also seems possible if the ride was down and they had to honor expired tickets while still balancing the regular queue with FP. In any case, Disney is still terrible about managing crowds at Disneyland. It's not entirely their fault, as the park design was most likely never intended to hold as many people as it currently does. I'm guessing their mentality all these years was "well, we added another attraction, so that means we can add this many more people!" without realizing or caring that the infrastructure needed major upgrades as well. Fastpass only made those problems worse, as it kept more people out of lines and into tight midways, stores, and restaurants. With Star Wars coming soon, I hope they are also planning major infrastructure upgrades (similar to what USH is doing now) to better handle the crowds.
  5. True story: I have only seen each of the first three one time and only Episode I from the latest three. And it was so long ago I don't remember much...
  6. It's part of the so cal passholder ego mentality. "I'm cooler than you because I have fastpass!!!"
  7. I feel like I am going to have to post this over and over again, but it still rings true: thank goodness they did up the price of the AP's. 120 min wait for fastpass?!?!
  8. I love that Disney does the construction tarps. Helps keep the atmosphere.
  9. I agree. I just hope he's done his research and is ready for all the added costs/hassles that come with being a legitimate commercial ride (insurance, state inspections, etc.). Definitely could be cool to have a haunted dark ride done right again since KBF bowed out of that segment.
  10. Wait... So it's NOT RMC doing the refurbishment?? I think it is. They just contracted B&M to do all the work for them...
  11. They don't require the use of a crane. They use hydraulics to raise and lower themselves in a manner similar to an expanding pole.
  12. Considering their existing relationship with Triotech, I'm guessing it's the former.
  13. I'm assuming that is because Resorts World told Universal "we need a ride...but the budget is only $5."
  14. There's one down the street from KBF for anyone visiting So Cal.
  15. ^That will probably be more exciting than the ride itself...
  16. I was never a fan of Blue Horizons. Wild Arctic is LONG overdue for an overhaul. On ride audio for Mako seems "meh"...not really sure what it will add.
  17. White Lightning @ Fun Spot seems like a great deal for them!
  18. Well, at least we can stop debating who is doing the refurbishment...
  19. Park hours are listed as 8-10 Thursday and Friday then 8-11 Saturday and Sunday....I'm thinking they are planning on it being very busy.
  20. No way the ride stays. I'm guessing they'll do something similar to what long beach did with the pike---a roller coaster facade to reference what was once there.
  21. One of my favorite performers at USH I believe does this show as well---wish I could make it out to see it!
  22. To working media, I don't think calling media day invites a "benefit" is the correct way to describe it. It's hard work to get photos, video, interviews, talk to people, etc in a short amount of time where everyone else is also doing the same thing in the same short window of time. Robb summed it up best: it's fun, but definitely hard work. A "benefit" is when club TPR members get invited to just show up and ride!
  23. Agreed. Can't wait to go back when the edison opens!
  24. They tweeted today that "Moving the home based ride, it sold! Early 2016 we will announce commercial plans!"
