    The Future of Lost Continent (Poseidon Fury closing May 9)

    To chime in on this thread with a few points. Firstly I like the original Wonka IP as it offers a lot of potential for design etc. BUT I like Lost Continent being a non IP location just based off literature of the time, with original attractions and beautiful theming. While I agree it needs...

    Common Theme Park Forum Abbreviations

    Team Disney Orlando. That's basically the corporate management group in charge of WDW.

    Springfield Expansion

    Were the speakers not always that colour? It seems like standard steel girder colours to me...

    Bye Bye Zebras

    Haha, drive through merchandising, all part of Disney's NextGen initiative. Seriously though, I hope we get something there, because the the ride just ends...

    Concerns about recent discussion, HATERS

    Hmmm... From my experience there that wasn't quite the case, certainly if you linked to certain other sites or certain other posters your post was moderated or deleted, that's one of the reasons I moved. But back on topic. From my lurking for a while I don't think this has been a major issue...

    Bye Bye Zebras

    Seems odd to site acclimatisation as there are quite a few at Anomal Kingdom lodge. I think ther may be more to this than just that... Does this mean will just have a blank ending then? No animals, no poachers, no nothing, just some plants?

    Fantasyland Expansion - Part 2

    I would imagine you're clever enough to think this is silly logic too? I mean we all push so hard for them to stick to so many of Walt's visions (You're dead if you only aim at kids) that we can't use the "oh they don't care anyway so why not get rid of all of them" excuse, but only if we don't...

    Fantasmic!

    Great, I come back to this thread and this has happened. Honestly, I don't like being negative if I don't have to but this is just so stupid. Even if we hyped it we didn't organise a press event for it, it really seems like Disney is clutching at straws to try to attract more guests. Also...

    Fantasmic!

    Well at least they believe in this product, are they expanding sideways or backwards do you know?

    Fantasmic!

    I think it says something when I clicked on this thread I thought it was more likely to be an armchair imagineering thing than an actual rumour. I really hope it gets this update, nothing they do will bring it to the Disneyland show simply because the Disneyland version isn't in an amphitheatre...

    Pandora: The World of Avatar Announcement, Construction, & Preview Discussion

    I guess you can make a huge building look okay from in the park as there is so much greenery to break it up. I mean I don't expect it to be hidden from the outside... What? All I see is sky...

    "Celebrate the Magic" Nighttime Show Coming Nov 2012

    DISNEY Dreams? (The show is great in person btw, as with most night time shows videos don't do it justice...)

    Universal’s Cinematic Spectacular - Nighttime Show

    Oh Sorry Guys, I guess I mis interpreted your posts. Ignore me and move along... :wave:

    Universal’s Cinematic Spectacular - Nighttime Show

    This is more what I meant... A spectacle is a spectator sport, it's almost impossible to scare or honestly shock people because they are so detached from the event. I can see it reflecting fear but I don't see it being any less whimsical. Fountains are whimsical because water flows, unless you...

    Universal’s Cinematic Spectacular - Nighttime Show

    Can you really make a fountain/firework show darker? By their very nature fountains are very fluid and flow, they don't do shock or dark, they mainly look whimsical. And fireworks aren't really a shock factor... Whilst I imagine the movies they use on the water screens could be darker I just...

    Universal’s Cinematic Spectacular - Nighttime Show

    The system they use here is obviously fairly dated, but similar to that used in the show. I'm guessing they use the Aqua Visual FX, or less likely an Aquagraphics screen, seen in the i45 commercials and Taylor Swift's tour (amongst other places). Here's a video showing it in a circle. It's...

    SpongeBob StorePants

    It looks like he can actually use his hands, so yes. Better than gloves on sticks!

    Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

    I don't think we're disputing how legit the picture is, I tink we're saying that it could be something other than Transformers. Even if it is the same ride structure.

    Mansion, Pirates, Small World, Carpets, get FASTPASS
