Re: Universe of Energy closed!

Even if they hadn't called it that, just treating every ride as "once it is done, it will be great forever" is bad. Pair that with rising operating costs, the entire exercise becomes untenable. Does the land show the latest advances anymore? It seems like they have been showing the same te...

Re: Universe of Energy closed!

Weird or good? It is so heavily dated in terms of content and presentation method that you cannot realistically do incremental upgrades anymore.

Re: Universe of Energy closed!

For now at least, considering the licensing of Twilight Zone is a waste of money and the park seems to be slated for an overall theme change, I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility. Thrown in that the update here at DCA is actually really well done.

Re: Disneyland MaxPass?

Since it doesn't appear to be up and summer has begun, I suspect they may have sent it back for retooling due to a decent amount of negative feedback. At the same time, as the plan was to only have it work the day of, just give the parks a call to see if it will be up soon.

Re: Cool Epcot idea via Abandoned series

It has space but not enough (check it on Google Earth) to do what would be acceptable for a modern area/land. As it requires major sponsorship to get done, it would be difficult for a country to get interested in spending a fortune for a C-level space.

Re: Cool Epcot idea via Abandoned series

Part of why it looks tired is that there is such dated architecture in the area. There might be a little bit of space for one area for a new country in WS but they are so packed in there it isn't viable to add anyone in, even if they felt like setting a pile of money on fire to promote their country.

Re: AVATAR coming to WDW

Watch videos of the space, it isn't great. The design is well done but one ride is pretty good and the other is a "meh" at best.

Re: AVATAR coming to WDW

Speaking of, I am getting more and more of a feeling that the response to Pandora is going to be lukewarm. The hype train still isn't really moving and it opens in a month. Throw in they are offering resort discounts (granted, they could jack prices up 200% and knock things down "up to 25%"...

Re: AVATAR coming to WDW

The analysts did, but to say specific longevity possibly not. Before the song was done, it would have shat the bed hard.

Hard pass, system can't scale and has too many weaknesses to be worth the effort.

Re: AVATAR coming to WDW

And the series has been delayed again, with the 2018 release not happening. I want to know if this is still going to throw off the opening of the other ride.

"Orrery", the word you are looking for is "Orrery", not "Planetarium".

Re: AVATAR coming to WDW

The reason the Dragon/Beastly kingdom got yanked was because the NDAs they had on the Imagineering staff (mostly contract) didn't go far enough to stop Universal from buying up the same concepts.

Re: AVATAR coming to WDW

Don't forget, unless things have changed, they also won't have all the attractions open at launch. There are only two rides, so you would be getting half the experience for the full price.
