Well, it's still in the "Sound Check" stages - i.e. soft opening, so it's still been kind of hit and miss for those that have been there so far. Not everything is up and running, though it all should be for it's grand opening this weekend. From what I understand, it's relatively small and ...

Spider-Man is only just barely a "thrill" ride. It's really just the next generation of dark ride. The thrills are in your head, where they're supposed to be. True, but like any other park, they'll need a variety of levels of thrills. Even if it is SOLELY a thrill park, I don't think ever...

I don't have anything new to add to this, but yeah, I too would like to see Russia, Egypt, Greece, India and/or Australia, though Russia and Greece would probably be my top two choices.

Breyer's Cookies'n'Cream Cyclone. I've always been a fan of the good ol' C'n'C, but this is the best version of it that I've ever had!

It IS possible to theme high-thrill rides. Think The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman just down the street at IOA, as well as Dueling Dragons, and Men In Black at USO. And sure, you might thing that for DD it's only possible to theme the queue for such roller coasters, but take a look at Nemesis at A...

^Shoot, YES, Stitch needs to go. Of all the Disney characters, he's the one I can't stand. Well, *he's* cute, but I just don't like what the company is doing with him - he's taking over EVERYTHING. He's in ToT merchandise, Space Mountain merchandise, he was in Hook's ship during the Flower and Garde...

WDW, because Epcot is my baby. Plus, if you live near WDW, you're also very close to Seaworld, Universal, and Busch Gardens Africa. Not that they rank anywhere NEAR Disney, but they'd at least be something to throw into the mix every so often to spice things up.

Id love to spend my retirement years on an Attraction, one of the major ones. preferably, like Tower of Terror, Mission: Space, Test Track, Soarin', Kilimanjaro Safaris, or I'd even be happy going back to Splash. You're always busy, and down times happen just often enough to make it exciting, becaus...

I swear I once saw an 8 year old (or so) boy pushing his mother around in the stroller. Don't ask me what that was about!

I posted this in another fastpass thread, but I thought I'd post it here too, though I have tweaked it a bit to make a few things clearer. Since I worked on an attraction that had Fastpasses, I can tell you that 9 out of 10 CMs HATE them and wish more than anything that Disney would just do away wit...

Don't forget that just because you have a bad encounter with a CM that he/she is ALWAYS a bad CMs. We've all had bad days, and believe me, it takes a LOT of effort to be super smiley and happy 9-12 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. Not to excuse rudeness, but CMs deal with a LOT of unhappy and "If ...

Man, I'd love to get over there sometime (Japan, not JUST Disney, but I'd be sure to hit it up while I was there). It looks like such an amazing country.
