Wheelchairs are loaded onto a stationary platform that slides onto a special, continuously moving omnimover car.
To explain the concept simply, imagine a loop of plates on a conveyor belt that never stop moving and they all have cups on them, well the disabled people have special cups that slide off the plate and out of the way so that the conveyor line can keep moving. The disabled person loads onto a stationary cup and when they're ready to go they just have to wait for the next empty plate to be put on.

This idea does not take into consideration how difficult this may be to design and maintain.

>>2828733
It's enough of a problem that I wish they'd do something like this. I want disabled people to be able to enjoy the rides, but I'd also like to be able to ride the rides without them stopping. Haunted Mansion stopped three times the last time I rode it. I hate the fucking hatbox ghost already, I don't want to sit there and look at him for two minutes.

This is obviously happening because Herschend now owns those old Palace Entertainment locations and Cartoon Network Hotel was one of them so they are losing the licensing rights.
Either way the hotel was barebones as hell so nobody went there because the cost per night (probably high to pay for the licensing) was a terrible value, the amenities and theming were weak and the rooms are old tiny motel rooms built in 1971 for the Ramada/Continental Inn built by the original owners of the park.
The new hotel will most likely offer much lower rates and will be a more obvious on-site accommodation so will probably be more successful. The callbacks to history of the park with old photos and stuff on the walls will make it nice enough even if they don't further renovate/improve it much.
Who remembers the comfy as hell wax museum that used to be between the old hotel and the park entrance?
That amish barn raising animatronic show at the end of the tour was one of the kitschiest damn things I had ever seen.

I run a small online business.

but not sure 6 weeks for China, Korea, and Japan will be enough
Japan alone could easily keep you occupied for 2-3 weeks.

>>2828243
Yea, I was thinking of spending more time in China/Japan than Korea. 3 weeks in China/HK (Shanghai/Chongqing/Xi'an/Kunming), 1 week in Korea (honestly could be even less, only going because a friend will be there to show me around), and 2 weeks in Japan.

Any advice on if I should start with China -> Korea -> Japan or Japan first?

>>2828247
alright a China - Japan trip with a pitstop in Korea sounds more reasonable.
I am not that well versed on china specifically so can't help you with itinerary direction but two items on my China bucket list have always been Chengdu and Zhangjiajie (the Avatar cliffs) ...

You're a retard, vienna is anything but boring. Sure, it's no degenerate hell hole like Berlin, but there is plenty to see and do.

Visit the museums and palaces. Mountains to hike on are only 1h away from the city and there's the wiener wald if you can't handle mountains.

Plenty of theatre/opera (tho not as much as London) and if you want to go clubbing go to Grelle Forelle.

>>2828151
There's the prater, one of Europe's oldest amusement parks with plenty of crazy rides.

Other stuff to do: Brothels, going carousing in the "Bermuda triangle", escape rooms (they got some with actors)

Visit some of the castles/fortresses outside of Vienna, e.g. castle Liechtensein. And old buildings in general, churches. Even if you aren't a boomer you will like it because you don't have any grand architecture like that over in America. There will likely be some events too.

If you're going in Nov/Dec you can also visit the christmas markets or take part in a Perchtenlauf to get hit with chains by farmers dressed up as demons

More outdoorsy stuff/more excitement? Climbing, bungee jumping, canoing on the Danube.

Clubbing? Try Grelle Forelle, Pratersaune or VIP

Your ideas of fun are not mine, but I was there in the Spring, and the weather was glorious cool just blindingly sunny.

My hotel was picked for NOT having a casino and not allowing smoking. I never bought an uber for drinking fun, they sent their drivers to take us door to door to 1) stand up comedy tickets 2) penn and teller 3) concert tickets 4) starting point of a walking food tour. Most casino and restaurant prices can be utterly stupid, not even logical for what you are getting, so I would absolutely plan your restaurants so you get bang for the buck. I did predrinking most nights after pay like $75 to get a buzz before Sebasian Manascalco at Aria....no buzz.
Most of my favorites were discovered at the VIP access the food tour set up for us. I enjoyed Javier, and many others. I drove out of town a bit for a great breakfast one morning.

Has it ever occurred to you that you won't be welcome either?

My sister (Belgian, main language Dutch) spoke fluent Italian by the time she married her Italian husband. She went to live there and began applying for translation jobs, Italian to Dutch, at multinational companies in the area (Geox, Benetton,...). She got turned down endlessly "because of her accent" and eventually began translating for the EU.

Instead those multinationals hired Italian women who didn't speak a single word in Dutch. Not one. Single. Word. Here's how we found out: every single time she went for a job interview, she got contacted by the women who got the job. Asking her if she was interested in doing some translations for free. Because they couldn't get anything done. At all. AT ALL.

I've got a Belgian uncle living there since 1983. Fabulous cook, extremely popular restaurant (bands performing in Venice would take a 2h drive to his restaurant), now retired. Speaks fluent Italian, the local language (Ladin, which only very few people speak) as well as the dialect. Jolly guy, bit of a Santa Claus type, always ready with a piece of solid worldly wisdom. Very popular, except when he needs a favour from someone. Never got accepted. When he asked why, the answer was: should've learned the language. Can't make this up.

Both my sister and my uncle are far whiter than any Italian will ever be, by the way. Don't ever assume they'll like you more because they vote far right. They wont. And it isn't any better anywhere else in Europe, or the world. Cletus is gonna Cletus. Good luck.

>Seoul - 1 week
>Somewhere in Korea but ending in Busan - 1 week
I did SK -> Kyushu -> Tokyo in 2019.
Some general tips:
A whole week for Seoul is too much.
Cut it down to 3-4 full days. Make your way to the south Busan, like you have planned and then take a boat to Kyushu.
Do Tokyo at the end of your trip, it's stupid to split it up.

I'm currently in bed, so I don't have access to my fotos from the trip.

Do a hike across Bukhansan

I could spend months in japan and never run out of things to do. My 3 week trip is was aggressive on Itinerary and still had things at every location I didnt get to.
Korea was just overpriced and snooty I left to go to hokkaido and had literally the time of my life

>>2826160
>>Seoul
>Max 4-5 days
>>2826376
>A whole week for Seoul is too much.
3-4 days in Seoul is just to tick off all the tourist boxes and rush through all the sights.
If OP is traveling for 2 months, I think Seoul is actually a nice place to just chill for a week, get fat on BBQ and cheap soju, and party a bit. The nightlife there is the most fun out of the places on the list.

op is retarded
he doesnt have any specific places to see
nor anything specific he wants to do
for example, there is nothing in nagoya, other than the ghibli park (which you need to reserve and plan ahead for); why would anyone spend 4 days there
why would anyone skip Miyajima Island
why would anyone go to Nagasaki when Fukuouka is a more enjoyable place?
+ Completely skipping northern japan, when there's plenty of time to go

there is no thinking behind this post
op might reply "give me suggestions" but we don't know what you enjoy, go think for yourself and come back, based on your post i think you'd really enjoy getting your ass reamed

I sometimes go back in time IN MY MIND and I think Bourdain did the same thing. He makes a lot of references to beatnik or wealthy british authors who lived in an expat city while writing such and such as he traveled.

I like to reminisce what it might have been like to big game fish during the time of Hemingway in Key West/Cuba. I like to think about being in the time of the Aztecs as I ascend the dangerous steep and narrow steps of the Sun pyramid, or imagine what the daily life was like during the viking settlement time in AD 900 in say Iceland, or what the heck it looked on a market day in Pompeii. There are still beautiful tiles on the ground from Roman tiles when you visit some ruins. I usually try to have a good book on my kindle that features where I currently am in the world, not just guidebooks.

you can go to Yangon and have no issues but the Foreign Office are not going to help you if you get in trouble. i know japanese journalists who are there on rotation and it seems fine to them. if you are white you are getting followed 24/7 in Yangon by the secret police.

I met a guy from Mandalay at a Vientiane hostel and he said his city is a great place to visit. When you live near the frontlines of a conflict, you get used to outbreaks of violence. I'd only be worried if I'm alone walking along some quiet road and armed men start yelling at me in the local language. Yes you can visit Myanmar, but I don't recommend wandering around the country taking pictures of things. You will be treated like a spy.

There are dangers associated with traveling to Myanmar which go far beyond the usual western travel advice, and which stupid travel bloggers just do not understand. These are very different kinds of threats.

The Junta controls everything and is not internally or internationally accountable, so a group of soldiers might decide to rape a tourist at a checkpoint and there would probably be no consequence for them. Foreigners who seek consular support might simply be punished for doing so, arbitrary detention is common practice. These are institutional threats.

Terror attacks can and do occur, mostly against infrastructure and military targets, but in many situations it will be very hard to distance yourself from these.

Within Myanmar international terror, human trafficking and narco-terrorists operate with or without the Juntas support, so the threat to tourists might be a Chinese human trafficker, or a criminal who's fled France, or a terrorist from Pakistan. In many context you will not be able to identify that these individuals are even present. Personal security in the country is south America tier so hotel guest lists, itineraries, wifi connections etc are all regularly compromised.

There's also hundreds of thousands of starving internally displaced refugees living in tent cities everywhere, and I would not go within 50 miles of these places.

The threats in Myanmar are insidious, it seems orderly enough, people smile, go about their business, but when something goes wrong there's no warning and no way out. Those travel bloggers are like birds in the crocodiles mouth, they will say it is safe- Myanmar is not safe.

>>2828086
OP here, your comment has convinced me not to go

The International Institute for Strategic Studies keeps a map of violent events in Myanmar and it shows that even the "safe" Yangon still has attacks and bombings taking place regularly.
Violence around Mandalay and Bagan appears to be even more frequent.

You can get the train straight to ghent from Brussels-Midi airport. Just been, strongly recommend it over Brussels. Especially for a day trip. Brussels.does have some great museums but itll make you weary going to multiple in one day.

>tourism recommendations
Magritte museum
Bozar
Anything Victor Horta
Royal Museums of Fine Arts (worth a day)
Royal Museum of the Armed Forces (one of the biggest in the world, lots of WWI &II)
If you're into French literature check out the Tropismes bookstore in the Galleries Saint-Hubert. Don't buy chocolate at Neuhaus (same area, decent), go to Herman Van Dender instead (top tier).
>Dive bars
Wherever. Don't puke or fight inside. Try to find one with decent (no Inbev) beer. Look for Gueuze on the beer list (Boon, Oud Beersel, Tilquin, De Cam, Cantillon), even if you don't like sour beer. A good Brussels pub should have good Brussels beer at the very least.
Check out Fuse club if you like techno. Have a look at Le Botanique's program.
Restaurants: "In 't Spinnekopke", Villa Lorraine, Comme Chez Soi, Bozar restaurant, La Paix. If you're mad about beer check out "In De Verzekering Tegen De Grote Dorst" near Brussels, one of the best pubs in the world.
>Charleroi to Brussels
The least of your worries. Don't take the bus though. Belgian trams and subways are top tier, just ask Paris (we built theirs). Avoid trains around rush hour (8AM, 4PM) but otherwise acceptable, unless there's a strike (check the news). A great way to explore the city is by tram. Lots of cosy neighbourhoods with their own vibe and affordable, no-nonsense pubs and restaurants.
