They're all big fans of Orlando.

'Impractical Jokers' star: Orlando is best - Orlando Sentinel

I know they were filming at Universal a while back as well.

Man I love those guys. Just downloaded seasons 1-4 to watch on the plane next week.

Yay . next week :dance::dance::dance:

Love them too, we record every episode. I like how the new season they give behind the scenes after every episode.

Horrible video. Same clips over and over again.

I'm pretty sure that's just the b-roll provided to the press and not meant to be a stand alone promotional thingy.

And side note: Disney CM's are blocked out from Animal Kingdom with their maingate passes (admitting guests) starting May 20th and then all of June. Actual employee self admission is blocked out the first two weekends.

That is correct. Meant to be used intercut with interviews and talking heads for news stories and such. Looks like Attractions magazine wanted to be first on getting it on YT so just slapped their logo at the end and uploaded.

Well it's at least his 2nd trip, if not the 22nd in a row.

Anyone else notice the unfinished exposed black pipework in the promo photo for the River Journey? Lower right of the pic.

What are those black sheet things hanging from the ceiling?

I feel we've seen the same scene a few times

That picture doesn't correctly portray how it looks. It's a lot darker.

Forward to 2:57 and see how it really looks.


You think there's going to be a little drop? Why would they have handle bars?

 

[epcyclopedia]

The thing in the upper left corner?

Looks like an installation tag that hasn't been removed. Either saying where the piece goes or marking the item as locked/tagged out for repairs or some sort of work.

The World of Pandora or what I've seen here looks really interesting and nothing less than beautiful. I think the rides will also be good, especially riding the Banshee. The food and drink shown looked very cool and something I will definitely have to try.

Does anyone else imagine this ride being a horse shoe shape? Like just one turn. We see the exact same area of the ride in ever sneak preview with those cat things. A 4 minute ride and its moving that slow...I'm not as hype as I once was. And I was never really that hype.

There were some shots of the ride's configuration out there. It wasn't U shaped, but you could always see it was a fairly short track, that's why we were anticipating a short time in our earlier discussions. The only time question was whether it would make some stops, and then continue, or not.That was the only way the time could have been long. The track is pretty short. . Can't remember exactly where the layout was.

Thanks, I realize it is all fake at the end of the day, it just weirded me out a bit haha

Well, if Kong can be 6 minutes with its short ride track, a slow moving boat ride can be about 4 with a short track..Anyone know how long Frozen is for reference?

It's a circle, but not much else.

Also don't read too much into the lighting in some of those videos, it's not normal show lighting.
