Not sure when I'll ever get to Maine, but Funtown looks like a neat little park to check out.

SFMM should really know by now that racing/dueling coasters are not their forte.

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend WCB this year. Hope everybody who does go has a blast!

City found a loophole and will likely turn that into a better deal for the city.
In the meantime, it's a pretty rotten deal for all the people who lost their existing jobs, and the ones who would have had jobs at the new hotel under the original construction schedule. I'm sure they won't be sending the Mayor or the City Council any thank you notes.

Maybe I've just totally missed it, but I'm kinda surprised this hasn't gone viral on TPR.

Very excited that this will soon be playable in the home and on the go in the US!

Yeah I'm pretty sure I had a small out of body experience on that launch. Holy crap.
Another great video, Robb. It really captured that insane acceleration curve very well.

Didn't think there would be a point in my life where I would think "OMG I MUST have that chopsticks holder!!" but then...yep.

Great photos! I'm burning with jealousy but only for another week.

^ Have you tried using the Krustyland shuttles as teleporters?
-
For the 5 of you maybe still playing this game, a new event began today. Krustyland gets nuked but the buildings, rides, and all can now be rebuilt in your Springfield alongside the new Itchy & Scratchy Land that the update centers around. So far it's been pretty fun, but it's yet another 3 act grind fest at its core.

Taking bets on if Toontown will live to see its 30th birthday?

Robb, I wouldn't blame you one bit if you never held another WCB because you just couldn't bring yourself to deal with all the terrible obnoxious entitled @$$holes in SoCal. We're overflowing with them, and it seems like they're multiplying faster than ever. What you do with this forum is exactly what I wish I could do with the 405 freeway on a daily basis. Oh, the relief that would be.
Anyway, it can't be repeated enough that some of us really do love and appreciate everything you guys do, especially the efforts made to include us in your adventures. It's amazing that you're still willing to tolerate humanity on any level after everything you've been through!

Even though it's fun to make jokes about how ridiculously long it takes SFMM to install a flat ride
The only project moving at a slower pace is the construction on I-5 near the park.

Just to hammer home the point about the characters not really being dead, Gamora already came back. After the snap, there was the scene with Thanos in what I'm assuming is the "Soul World" from the comics (full disclosure - never read them, just read online synopses). Gamora as a little girl asks Thanos if he had done it, and what was the cost. Granted it might not actually be Gamora, or the Soul World, but it's meant to drive home the point about things not exactly being what they seem.
In the end, it's a comic book movie comprised of fictional characters. Why people become so emotionally invested in them is a mystery to me, but that's what major fandoms to do people, or what people do with fandoms. Either one. Why people care about sports is a similar mystery. I've never felt like my life centers around who wins a game, nor have I ever felt the need to beg a deity to ensure a certain outcome. Many fanatics are bizarre, and occasionally dangerous. Theme park fandom has its share of the irrationally passionate type as well.
At the end of Infinity War, it was all I could do to not yell out "There's going to be a Part 2 next year people! Relax!!!"
-
That looks like such an amazing ride. So wish I could be with you guys in August to ride many, many, MANY times!!
-
Wow that ride looks absolutely incredible. To think CP subtracted Mean Streak and added this monster that's sure to rank extremely high on coaster polls next year. What an amazing accomplishment by RMC!
-
Those are some VERY interesting results! Great job to everybody involved in putting that on!
I'm happy to have ridden some of the top coasters including #1, thanks to TPR.
-
Matterhorn can be a rough ride, but those cushions made it rideable again. I would agree that MK's Space Mountain is a more enjoyable ride, and more comfortable.
-
Unlimited. Chicken. Shawarma.
Yeah, I need to do a Disney cruise at some point.

From my Analysis, it seems the Black Panther area will Either be the bridge from Hollywoodland to SHU, replacing the Backlot Area, Replacing Hollywoodland in General, or Having a section in Hollywoodland replacing Either ANIMATION, or Disney Junior. Spiderman seems he is having a standalone attraction, due to the swinging ride vehicle patents we got in 2017, it may be located where the backlot is now, or in an avengers or New York themed area replacing bugs land and the Cast member Parking lot (Not confirmed Cast member Parking lot is even being used). Antman has a slim chance of having an attraction, but there may be a restaurant or shop around him. Doctor Strange HAS to be in the New York Area, which may either be where Hollywoodland is now, or in a new New York Area. I would see a walkthrough attraction for Doctor strange, but that's just a speculation. Avengers may be integrated into the new york area, or have their own area, with their own Attraction(s?). Guardians have mission breakout, but there's no reason there can be a miniland built around it including galactic Marvel IPs. A lot of the Architecture in the concept art looks like Hollywoodland, so as a conclusion, either Hollywoodland is getting a reskin, or an expansion to blend in, with a galctic side. In short term, Wakanda, New York, Avengers Headquarters, and (supposedly) Sekaar are my expectations.
After 13 years, finally the Dippin' Dots guy signs up for a TPR account.

What's weird about that statement is how WELL the AMC works at Disney Springs in Orlando. I mean, that theater is constantly PACKED with people to the point that they expanded it with the Dine In option years ago. They constantly have most theaters filled when a new Disney release comes out and I couldn't think of a better place south of El Capitan in So Cal to see a new Disney release than at Disneyland.
I would say that it may be because there are tons of other movie theaters around Disneyland, but there are also tons around Disney Springs also. Either way, no lost sleep over a movie theater going away. It's just funny to me to read a statement like that which defines how different the Disney demographic is in SoCal versus Orlando.
I've seen the same thing in WDW, but every time I've been in Disneyland's AMC, the place has been pretty empty. The box office people look really, really bored. My local movie theatre seems more crowded by comparison.
Just going by my observation here, but where I see the difference is, in Orlando, Disney Springs stands out as a special place to be and to have an event. Usually a visit to Disney Springs is part of the vacation of a lifetime, and how many people on one of those have been to a movie theatre that brings food to your seat? For those who go there, a dinner and movie night is significant and made even moreso for being at Disney.
Contrast that with how such an event is commonplace for people in SoCal who frequently go out as part of their everyday lifestyle. They're perfectly willing to save dinner and movie night for their local mall instead of traveling through awful LA traffic to Downtown Disney where basically the same movie experience awaits but costs more. If they spend the money and brave the traffic, they're riding Space Mountain, riding Indiana Jones, seeing that castle or bust! Who wants to go to that AMC when you could be riding Pirates of the Caribbean, and the same stuff plays at the local movie house anyway? It's a 180 degree difference in perception.
I don't think anyone will miss that AMC going away.

It's bug's land, but it's only bug's land. Nothing about any part of DCA beyond the Hyperion north towards the oft rumored Stage 12 and beyond.

Looks like an amazing addition to an already amazing park. To think, this and Outlaw Run in the same place. Can't wait until I can get back to Branson, MO!

Los Angeles Unified School District's Spring Break is the last week of March. The William S. Hart School District (local to Santa Clarita) has their Spring Break during the first week of April. Expect increased crowds at SFMM during those two weeks, then it'll taper back off towards what you're seeing now until June when schools are out.

Yeah, impersonating RMC employees to stir up fake rumors on the internet. Sounds like a great plan guys.
