coneyislandchris Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Shame. I hope they manage to get the issues ironed out and get it back up and running quickly. Just watched Robb's video the other night and it looks like a fantastic sky ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Only Disney could break a ride so quickly lol I don't even know what this means. LOL, same. Disney is known for their safety and efficiency. They test attestations for MONTHS before a person gets on anything. This wouldn't be considered typical for Disney at all!

coasterbill Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 We were there about 8 months before it opened and it was testing all afternoon with a fully loaded cable. It's amazing how long they tested this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Fun fact: Boathouse was just estimated to be the 3rd highest grossing independently owned restaurant in the country for 2018! Morimoto came in at #58 https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/top-100-independents-2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 ^I've never seen a listing of top grossing restaurants before but that's pretty interesting. Now I'm curious and kind of wonder where some non-independent restaurants would fall on this list. Like is there a random Longhorn Steakhouse out there in America doing like $25 million a year? Or where would something like a Capitol Grille in Chicago or DC rank on this list? No idea but thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 ^^ What's even more interesting about that list is Tao Asian Bistro at Venetian Las Vegas was the #1 spot year after year. This year, though? It didn't even break the top 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBrylczyk Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 ^ Here's hoping the new show is more in line with Cirque's regular repertoire than R.U.N. at Luxor. Worst show I've ever seen, hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 ^ Here's hoping the new show is more in line with Cirque's regular repertoire than R.U.N. at Luxor. Worst show I've ever seen, hands down. Wow it was really that bad? That's disappointing because since the ads I saw and the concept looked interesting. A lot of the cirque shows I've seen are hit or miss. I did enjoy the Avatar one and the concept of this new Disney one looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 It's a 75 minute show, 35 of which are just media on projection screens. I'm not exaggerating that number. When there were actual performers on the stage it was lackluster and unpleasant (there's a very long torture scene) and none of the action had a fast pace. The stunt work was on par with a low budget theme park stunt show. Just an awful, awful show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopper39 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 My family always used to stay at a Drury when they came to visit me in college and I'd kind of forgotten about the brand til this. Always found it to be a pretty nice option, and the free drinks (including beer and wine if I remember correctly) and snacks every evening was always a nice little bonus to include. I'll absolutely consider staying here for a little weekend trip once it opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
