    Tropical Americas w/ Encanto & Indiana Jones to replace DinoLand?

    While I'm fine with the replacement of the Hester & Chester area, as a dinosaur enthusiast I'd be really sad to the the Dinosaur Institute area and ride go. It's a shame that Disney is apparently unable or unwilling to make the wildly popular theme of dinosaurs work in a theme park anymore. It...

    Super Nintendo World - Reviews, Photos, & Video (Spoilers)

    I won! Thank you to Brian G. and the rest of the Inside Universal team for the giveaway! It was good to have a reason to organize my thoughts and commit them to writing.

    Reedy Creek Improvement District

    Name a project they used the special district to avoid paying for, then. As far as I can tell, this district has done the exact opposite and prevented Orange county residents from having to pay for Disney's infrastructure, which is why the legislature abandoned their original plan of dissolving...

    Reedy Creek Improvement District

    Oh no, they had additional control over zoning, permits, and infrastructure within land entirely owned by them using their own tax dollars while still being entirely subject to state and federal law. The horror. There are over 1,800 other special districts in Florida, including the Orlando...

    Reedy Creek Improvement District

    But why do you think it was too much power? They own the entire area of land, so there are no other residents' or business's competing interests to consider. Taxpayers were able to save a ton of money not paying for Disney's infrastructure, which is maintained to an extremely high standard...

    Reedy Creek Improvement District

    Why doesn't Disney deserve the power they had? I'm not going to pretend that the Disney Corporation is a benevolent entity that has anything but profits as its end goal, but I don't think this sentiment can be taken for granted. What exactly about the arrangement they had was detrimental to...

    Harry Potter Reboot Series

    There's no way to "unattach" JK Rowling from the property short of possibly her sudden unexpected death. She sees the continued massive support for her IP as personal validation. She explicitly said as much in a tweet:

    Nick's April 2023 Anaheim/LA Trip Report

    My family and I went to DCA for the first time last month, and they also thought Web-Slingers was better than the Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man. They all also seemed much more impressed with it and IncrediCoaster than Radiator Springs Racers. It honestly made me feel like I was living in an...

    Tiana's Bayou Adventure (Opening Summer 2024)

    I don't necessarily need a reprise of Dr. Facilier, but I'll be pretty disappointed if this this turns out to be like Frozen Ever After and it's just 10 minutes of the characters living happily ever after and having mild misadventures on their way to a party or something. I always admired how...

    Super Nintendo World - Reviews, Photos, & Video (Spoilers)

    I had the somewhat-unexpected opportunity to visit Super Nintendo World (and USH as a whole) for the the first time last month with my family (my brother, sister, and parents, all of us adults). The view of the land from the escalators was a tantalizing tease, but few sights in theme parks can...

    Avengers E-Ticket Attraction (DCA)

    For reference, you are all discussing whether or not you approve of proposed changes from a rumor posted by the commenter "MonkeTux" under the YouTuber "FreshBaked!"'s video entitled NEW Gift shop at Avengers = MORE MARVEL? | Disneyland News 03/28/2023. The full text of the comment is as...

    Captain America: Brave New World

    From what I saw of that video clip, I think Mackie was saying he was going to begin filming Twisted Metal next week, not Captain America 4.

    Discovery and WarnerMedia Merger

    A hub for DC already exists on HBO Max.

    The Future of MIB

    If they really wanted to remove Will Smith, all they would have to do is change out some simple video clips and voiceovers. Tearing down the whole ride would be overkill.

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    It would seem the tweet was reuploaded:

    "Old School" Universal Orlando

    I know it's just meant to be a fun promotional image that highlights the attractions, but the more I try to mentally match up that up with the real life layout, the more it hurts my head.

    “Lifetime” Ban - Can it be Rescinded?

    For the record, I don't think Adam the Woo has been back to Universal Orlando since he was banned. He's posted plenty of videos of Universal Hollywood, and of Disney World and other Orlando attractions, but none of Universal Orlando since 2017.

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    I think when they say using the SCOOP ride vehicle system, they mean an attraction like the new Jurassic World Adventure in Beijing, not another reskinned version of Spider-Man like Transformers. Jurassic World Adventure shows that the dynamic movement allowed by the ride system still has a lot...

    Revenge of the Mummy Refurbishment (Late 2022)

    Personally, I wouldn't mind if they messed with the story and the finale. The context for the finale and several other scenes in the ride (cursed set, Reggie, Brendan's coffee, the medjai symbol, etc.) are only supplied by the video loop at the back of the queue. The line never backs up that far...
