>Last Thread: >>2867257RIP Lost Continent edition>What is this thread? Why are there two generals?/rcg/ was initially created as a way for the roller coaster enthusiasts on here to discuss all things roller coasters and theme parks. While roller coasters are the main focus of these threads (and the title of the general) there is also discussion on other theme parks, their rides, as well as the parks themselves and trip planning too. That's where /tpg/ comes in.>Can I talk about Disney/Universal parks in this thread?Absolutely! Disney/Universal discussion of all sorts including rides/resorts/dining/trip planning is OK.General Rules: 1. Talk about Theme Parks and Rollercoasters. 2. There is no second rule.Park Crowd Tracker:>https://queue-times.com/en-US/parksCurrent and historical wait times tracker:>https://www.thrill-data.com/Roller Coaster Database:>https://rcdb.com/Amusement Park News Sites:>https://www.themeparkinsider.com/>https://www.screamscape.com/>https://www.coaster101.com/Disney Park News:>https://www.wdwnt.com/>https://www.wdwmagic.com/>https://www.allears.net>https://www.mousesteps.comUniversal Park News:>https://www.insideuniversal.net

>>2869932Good. Hopefully this makes Universal get off its ass and start fixing the rides they've allowed to delipidate. The Seuss family should sue over the state of Cat in the Hat and Rowling should demand they fix the whomping willow and dragon animatronics on FJ

>General Rules:>1. Talk about Theme Parks and Rollercoasters.>2. There is no second rule.That's a tall order OP.>>2869933Don't forget the River Adventure dinos and effects.
>>2869943I believe we can do it. If it works we can later on implement a second rule limiting bickering and fanboying between /rcg/ and /tpg/Do it for Dolly Parton
Is pipeline at Seaworld THAT good?I’m in Orlando in a few weeks anyway but keep hearing horror stories the park is run like shit
>>2869933>The Seuss family should sueOh my god themecels are so dramatic>>2869959>If it works we can later on implement a second rule limiting bickering and fanboying between /rcg/ and /tpg/Fuck off soft bitch

Halloween store has been moved to the front of the park. Not sure who buys the really overpriced shit from there in the first place.
>>2869930So does anyone know if BG has a wait times app? I kind of want to go even though its going to be packed with Spring Breakers who basically slam the place from March to April before the Summer Breakers slam it from June - Early August.
Do you guys actually go to parks or is this place like /v/ where everyone just complains while not actually playing games?
>>2869993Avoid the 2 or 3 actual spring break weeksDon't go on Fri/Sat/Sun
>>2869997The actual weeks have already begun my friend. I'm seeing children everywhere. The schools don't release kids the same week. They each choose their own week throughout April and March.
>>2869999That's why I said avoid the 2 or 3 actual spring break weeks, and beyond that avoid going on Fridays and weekends
>>2869994I've seen people post from inside the parks so we do have boots on the ground. There's a youtuber that posts here and is very chill and we have at least 2 confirmed TMsWe also have a lot of angry autists but they just add to the ambiance.
>have unused Epic ticket because Stardust kept getting delayed>brother, his pregnant wife and their 35" tall son are going in mid-April>cool I'll go with them>Stardust gets delayed three more weeks til April 5Not sure if I'm going to want to go with them if it's delayed again. I'm sure it would be a fun day but it's a 9 hour drive each way and I'd have to go back eventually to ride Stardust. They do want to go to BGT as well but I was just there.
Here is your Kingda Ka replacement broshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COG7VodAyck
>>2870005The thought of riding Stardust after it killed a retard scares me. No thanks
>>2869960Liberals hate places that give joy to families so it's probably from them. Pipeline is amazing.
>>2870009But SeaWorld doesn't give joy to families anymore, that's why Sesame Street is suing them.
>>2869937>Gaston tells bitch not to record other people's kids>she crops the kids out of the videoGaston won. No one rapes disney adults like Gaston.
>>2869937Both. She shouldn't be recording anyone but her own family with him. But his response was very creepy. Like he went way overboard. This literally was triggering and hard to watch. Hes a very handsome man and his evil voice while she's just being friendly was creepy.
>>2869994Im at Disney world at least once a month
>>2870011Sesame Street is owned by Henson-esque libtards. I stand by my statement.
>>2869937really, cause this is definitely the ugliest gaston actor I've seen
>>2869930Great I wonder the motive
>>2870017I'm over 30 at this point everyone looks good to me
How do Orlandofags cope with Disney having the worst Disney-branded parks in the world, other than Walt Disney Studios Paris?
>illiterate yep a thoosie
>>2870018A short message from Walt Disney.
>>2870007Cripple not retard
>>2870021By having four of them. WDW beats the Chinese parks taken as a whole
Let's discuss how we think AI is going to be used in theme parks. An obvious one is the CAD work that goes into rides and permitting. I think the backend stuff is gonna start going much faster. Materials will be sourced faster. It's gonna be easier to make rides. Another obvious one is crowd management. Not sure if they'd want to do this and nuke fastpass sales, but you could very easily implement a system now where each guest is steered around by their phones and spread everyone out keeping wait times low. I'm sure the Harvard MBAs will figure it out. Maybe an upcharge tier that just slots you out fastpass times all day and you walk on everything as long as you follow your personalized schedule. A less obvious one is I think a fully trackless ride is now possible. And I mean totally trackless. The ride would have a large themed area and the guests could "drive" the vehicle through it and make live choices for where they want to go and how they want to get there and AI could monitor the whole thing and adapt the experience around it.
>>2870033>Another obvious one is crowd management>no bro genie+ will work this time i swear>A less obvious one is I think a fully trackless ride is now possibleDisney just made the patent for cars land
>>2870029t. tampa autist
I hope the UK Universal Studios Park is good. The British have done a lot for the world over the years.
>>2870034>no bro genie+ will work this time i swearIf the premise is no wait times all day I think it will. Smart phone adoption is way different now so having the app just ping you and say "go to haunted mansion to walk on" seems like a dream for most families. >Disney just made the patent for cars landThat's on a track. Not what I'm talking about.
>>287003390% of it will be ride ops efficiency savings and stock management with the occasional bit of "ai has noticed if we put the bubble wands next to the minnie ears sales of both jump 20%" Speech synthesis will be a biggie. You could have a ride where dialogue is generated so you get one of 3 different scripts that are new everyday ( with a guy spending 20 minutes at the start of his shift checking for generated weirdness). You could have actors sounding like mickey or donald without needing to use a soundboard.Cant see signiglficant unsupervised AI being something implemented, too many things to.go wrong
>>2870039>That's on a trackWhat's your definition of a track?
>>2870045I mean that specific ride is going to have an actual track that the arm is mounted on similar to DK:MM. What I mean is similar to a normal trackless but immensely more open. Possibly even outside. Could be as simple as guests interacting with some console in the vehicle and that picking one of 3 routes, or as complex as a large open area that guests can navigate through themselves. Not sure if that would be as exciting but it is possible now
>>2869994I travel twice a year to parks and I have a season pass to the local six flags
>>2870031Hong Kong seems pretty underrated, at least crowds-wise, but I also hear good things about Mystic Manor and GrizzlyShanghai seems pretty soulless though
>>2870033The use case nowadays seems to be merch, the new Six Flags especially seems to like using it.
>>2870056How did this pass quality control?
Dinosaur referenced in the new halloween store
>>2870059
final track piece for tormenta has been installed
>>2870050You're talking about a different patent.The one I'm talking about that Disney very recently put out is literally exactly what you're describing.
>>2870064Post it
>>2870066from wdwmagic just google it, wont let me paste url
>>2870067Oh shit. That's like exactly what I was describing>tfw you conjure up a hypothetical future and it's actually the present
>>2870031You’d have to combined all four to make one elite park.
>>2870063Please don’t suck please don’t suck please don’t suck
>>2870033Harvard is now a bunch of third worlders from China & India they can't accomplish jack
>> 2869898Ironically, if they did cheap out, we would’ve gotten a better ride.
>>2869930Its insane how successful Dollywood is. https://youtu.be/iwgtRPu1aZQ?si=LK5r3fhrdK5T9mHF
>>2870122Is it true it’s the second most beautiful park in America after Busch Gardens Williamsburg? I really want to visit for Christmas so I can ride rollercoasters in the snow and ice
>>2870133It's been awhile since I've visited BGW, but Dollywood is definitely on par or perhaps even better. Being nestled in the Smoky Mountains really benefits it, and you feel completely removed from the outside world despite being right near a major tourist hub. It's one of the things that stood out the most to me when I visited.
>>2870148One of the few good things about British parks is that most of them are in the middle of nowhere. Alton Towers is the grounds if a stately home near and is near a small village on the edge of a national park.Most parks are either converted zoos/safari parks, stately homes or abandoned quarries/claypits (Universal UK is on a brickworks site)
>>2869994I just got back from DLR on 10/11/12 and had an unexpectedly (mostly) shitty time. Only positive was I met a bunch of really nice cast members who I gave complements to. I do not envy the job they have to do.
>Walk up to the entrance gate to the park you have been wanting to visit>You see this sign greeting youWhat do you do?
>>2870176That's such bullshit. By the time you've seen it, you've probably already spend a shitload
>>2870177Skill issue honestly. First for spending a shitload to go to a mid tier Six Flags. Second for going on opening day period. Third for not expecting most rides to be down.
>>2870021Thirdie delusions are all over social media.
>>2870173Why do you not envy it ? Its the best job I ever had. The culture is amazing and happy. Being built on white Christian ideals of humility, kindness, and service help a lot with the overall joy.
>>2869930I've been thinking about this a lot. You really have to be a Good Person to run a Disney park successfully. The culture that created Disney took joy in making families and children smile. It took joy in imagination and Innovation. UAE got rich from oil. Tourism is a whole other ballgame. Japan got it right because they have the humble, polite nature it takes to actually run a Disney park. Muslims are not Good People imho. Their religion was based on a pedophile who married a little girl. They slaughtered so many Armenians they could make mountains with the skulls. In fact they're so bad at providing customer service, they have to import workers from the Philippines. These jungle island guys are better than locals at service but subpar compared to the White Christian American ethic that created these companies. It will fail. They don't have the meek and gentle culture it requires.
>>2869930https://youtu.be/_GmjNTxr1T4?si=e0_FrF27pegzhU5mUrban explorer went to Discovery Island
>>2870217Because on the first day I went there was a hazmat situation in Tomorrowland that sent 7 CMs to the hospital and closed that part of the park, causing the food and wine crowds to surge so much that drunks in scooters were plowing into people waiting in line for their food. The next day there was a huge bomb/swatting hoax that almost got the pair evacuated and the day after that was a brutal heatwave. I would find it very difficult to stay positive and helpful in conditions like that but pretty much every CM I interacted with was extremely kind, friendly and knowledgeable. I don’t think I could do that job! It takes a lot of grit!
>>2870222Anyone who can be happy and positive while being a wagie in Orlando has mastered life. There are people with nine figure incomes who are miserable yet there the cast members are making $18/hr and perfectly content.
>>2869930I started watching Adam the Woo videos and it reminded me of the vid that got him banned from Universal. He goes onto an abandoned trail and finds old Jurassic Park automatons. The Rome video is so seasoned. He's very respectful to the Italians and shows all the rich history and amazing stuff they have there. The People are so beautiful too. https://youtu.be/MZnNya8xzbI?si=xe7ww_WP0ra-BsW0
>>2870223That's nearly twice what I made. Its still the best job I ever had. I'm glad the wages there are now livable.
>>2870222I think letting alcohol into the parks was a massive mistake no matter if they make a lot off it or not.
>>2870225Is that livable? It's been a while since I was a poor.
>>2870227Florida is a different ecosystem economy. What is poor elsewhere is middle class here. Cost of living is much lower. I've been cheating life in Florida for many years.
>>2870223You are around very beautiful and young people. You get into the parks whenever you want. You can dance the night away while still making money. You can make a lot of friends who also love Disney and do stuff with you.
>>2870220It really is the end of an Era. A really good Era.

>>2870232I still feel suspicious about his death. He was getting pretty healthy. He'd lost a lot of weight by that time. He was walking around and eating salads. It was only after he came back from travels that this happened.
I'm gonna miss this nigga like you wouldn't believe.
>There use to be a six flags in Florida
>>2870226The thought of drunk Disney adults, drunk Disney adults on mobility scooters even, is actually terrifying
>>2870303I went to Epcot and the old lady in front of us was drunk. I didn't want my kids to see that. It was kind of scary because she'd just been on Guardians. She really had something wrong. I think it's a recipe for disaster.
>>2870303One of them almost ran over my foot at Seas with their scooter. When I mean that I mean they literally ran over the front fourth of my shoe but I have my foot in the shoes far enough back I could pull them in so they did not hit the toesOf course they said nothing
>>2870303I watched someone at California Adventure mess up and drive their scooter into the pickup line for one of the food and wine booths. He was trying to stop it but keep speeding up and almost knocked three people over like bowling pins.
>>2870338>>2870342>>2870383Do not let the actions of amateur drunks ruin the liberty of professional drunks such as myself.
>>2870218The Turks were the ones who committed the Armenian Genocide, not the Arabs.But yeah, they can just hire people who are good at the stuff they're bad at. The only thing they can't buy is the skill of hiring the right people.Well, they could, but they'd need to have that skill first before they could use it.I think it'll be fine. The secret's out, Walt isn't the only one who can make a theme park anymore.
crazy how small this looks in pictures. it's only one foot shorter than millennium force
>>2870518Not much of a point of reference there.
>>2869930So was Lost continent suppose to be a greek mythology land? Because Sinbad doesn't make sense for a greek myth setting
Would this have aged well?https://www.disneyfanatic.com/oped-disney-elon-musk-mission-space-revamp-tb1/
>>2870536They're gonna have to do something with it soon, the ride is supposed to be set sometime in the 2030s
Lightwater Valley's new owners unveiled a new logo. The reaction is pretty much what you'd expect.
>>2870587Why do boomers not realize we can identify AI?
>>2870531Lost Continent was 3 discreet sub-lands.Merlinwood which became potter, Sinbad's Bizarre which is where the fountain is, and Greek Mythology. The point of transition between greece and the middle east is the bridge by the velocicoaster walkway
>>2870596>Sinbad's Bizarrejej

>>2870672Nothing at all. Thank you for your service.
>>2870672You didn't miss a single fucking thing and have never once omitted a detail that would be important to anyone ever. We salute you, updates-anon o7
>>2870672Yeah what’s going on at Efteling and Europapark?
>>2870693idk its winter
>>2870672Again, you completely omit any non-Disney, non-Universal parks in your post. This is /rcg/+/tpg/, it's for all parks, not just those.
>>2870714He’s a Disney adult and he purposefully omits all the actually good parks bc he’s scared of anything more thrilling that it’s a small world

>>2870536I know Disney isn't in the business of charity but it would be kino if they donated Mission space to the kennedy center or at least made some sort of dealI like the ride but clearly most disney adults hate it and it doesn't pull its own weight enough. Test track and guardians will easily reach 2 hour waits before mission space reaches 50 minutes
>>2870693Efteling is opening a kiddie drop-tower ride next to Baron 1898 this summer. They also closed their park show Raveleijn, and are adding a different show to their theater as a temporary replacement, but that's about it IIRC. Not much crazy stuff happening.Tangentially related, but I just learned that they added Efteling references in both the Hong Kong and Paris versions of Arendelle, since they were both designed by Michel den Dulk, who started working in theme parks at Efteling. That's real cute.

>>2870773I think so too. It's not that much of a reach, and it would do those parks a world of good.>>2870778>Quantum Accelerator at Six Flags New England>Speedway Stunt Coaster at Six Flags MexicoLiterally my first time hearing about these. Thank you. Quantum Accelerator looks like a really good family launcher, and it's an Intamin, so the rumor that "Cedar Fair will never work with Intamin again" is squashed.
>>2870771I wish Guardians just had some generic space theme. It could even keep the big bang and moon/earth finish and have cool space shit in between. I really love that coaster in spite of all the Marvel shit.
>>2870778>generic parking lot dive coaster and five family coastersFucking grim. Please tell me this isn’t indicative of future trends.
>>2870536Really stupid idea.It should be Horizons reboot with a Kanye soundtrack. But Elon hates Disney.

Preview day of Adventure World/Frozen had some pretty bad impressions>Frozen ever after broke down repeatedly for hours at a time>Olaf wandering animatronic went out of action and was replaced by an awkward pupper>very big and empty, even in the frozen section>water projections for the night show are just still images for some reason
>>2870919>t. grown ass man going around riding rides meant for children younger than 10Strong pedo vibes
>>2870919>Olaf wandering animatronic went out of action and was replaced by an awkward puppetCalled it. Put it in the pile of failed Disney free-standing animatronics that were built purely to get shareholders excited. I think they should just give up and let Boston Dynamics/Tesla/The chinese companies develop the freestanding robot tech then just retrofit one to their needs. >>2870920I'm getting strong "400lbs and has no idea what a pussy feels like" vibe from you
>>2870915It's a huge python and they removed it last I was there. Imo the tank is too small for a snake that big anyway
>>2870941How is it any different from a creeper hanging out at a kids playground? If you don’t have kids, and you’re not with kids. You shouldn’t be hanging out on kiddie rides
>>2870966it's 2026 you chud why are you being ageist? grown ups can play too
I might book a trip to BGW/Kings Dominion. What other stuff is there to do in the Richmond area?
based Dolly Parton dabbing on fatties for drinking too much sodahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIhh_KrdgN8
>>2870966>How is it any different from a creeper hanging out at a kids playground?Cause it's not like that at all. That's how. You're comparing two diametrically opposed things. If a creepy guy was there doing creepy shit, then it would be, but some normal guy just riding it to check it out, it isnt inherent creepy unless you're one of those woke types that think all men are evil or some shit
>>2870977I’m a daughter dad, and if I see some middle aged man riding a kiddie ride, surrounded by little kids (and little girls esp on rides like Frozen), people are going to think he’s there to film little girls, not some harmless autistic sperg
>>2870985I mean I guess, but that doesn't mean its inherently the case. Depends entirely on the guy and his vibe and if you're ever there with a total weirdo, you, as a dad, just sit next to him with your kids on the other side. There's cameras and cops everywhere and I've never once heard a story about that sorta shit happening at disney on a ride. It's probably just an autistic guy
>>2870997> It's probably just an autistic guyExactly what a pedo would say. Honestly though, I can somewhat understand Disney adults where it’s some childless roastie that’s extending her feeling of being young so that she doesn’t have to face the grim reality of being a self interested genetic dead end, and some beta male orbiter that has to go along with the delusion so he gets the occasional blowjob, but some single dude riding kiddie rides and obsessed with stuff that’s created FOR CHILDREN, will never not be creepy. Add filming to it, and you turn that creep into a certified pedo.
>>2870920Frozen is for everyone.
>>2871008If he's filming and acting weird, that would be a red flag and obviously a reason to call security. But as a person who grew up knowing a deeply autistic guy that would love to go on rides, having people accuse him of being a pedo doesn't sit right with me. It's just entirely context-dependent.
>>2870976>NOOOOO I cannot just gouge 200 ounces of cancer water when I bought a 8 ounce cup?!? This is heckin GREED All season unlimited refills are $25 btw
>>2870985This is lowkey how riding a kiddie coaster for the credit feels like
>>2871037I used to mock thoosies for this but when one described it as “completionism” I kind of get it. Completionism is more respectable than stat-padding or credit chasing anyway. She wasn’t doing it to brag, she felt a compulsion.
>>2871037It's a dumb discourse anyways. It's ok to be pure of heart and enjoy things. Just don't be weird about it.
>>2871042Or you could, you know, make some kids and take them, or alternatively take your family. You’ll always look like a weirdo as a grown ass man riding rides meant for 6 year olds. Esp if you’re by yourself
>>2871043This is a really dumb argument. I don't go to Disney and I'm definitely not a Disney adult, but I don't automatically associate riding the Frozen ride with nefarious intent unless the guy is a walking red flag.Frozen isn't really fully a kids ride. Kids are gonna love it and it's the right amount of thrill for them, but an 80 year old grandma would also love it so is it a grandma ride too? If a mom brings her kids on the ride and smiles at something is she a terminal manchild? People gotta stop conflating family rides with kids rides. This is a kids ride. If I see a grown ass dude on this I'm assuming he came last in fantasy football or is drunk out of his mind
>>2871008i went to disneyland solo and i'm a 40 year old man. rate my creepiness based on what i rode/saw>space mountain>matterhorn>big thunder>mr. toad>indiana jones>jungle cruise>pirates>haunted mansion>rise of the resistance>star tours>tiki room>mr lincoln>mark twain>submarine voyage>it's a small world>saw the fireworkswanted to ride but felt weird so i didn't>runaway railway>snow white>alice in wonderland>storybook land canal boats
>>2871081The subs and Small World are fairly worthwhile rides but I've always felt a little weird riding them solo. Toad too but to a lesser degree since a lot of people treat it as a cult classic.
Your only problem is being self-conscious and having shame. Having confidence in yourself removes all your issues

>went to efteling for a week>loved everything and nothing was broken>finally understand how shit the italians parks are doing, being used to overlook broken effects on ridesI really don't understand how that park is profitable, the number of animatronics in the rides is insane and they all work very well no matter their age
>>2871095Look I like themed parks more than coaster parks too but you'd have to pay me to ride the canal boats solo
>>2871168This. I’ll ride anything at Universal SeaWorld or Busch Gardens solo no problem, but Disney is SPECIFICALLY CREATED FOR TODDLERS AND SMALL CHILDREN. It’s basically a big fancy playground.
>>2871175Take that back. Idk if I’d ride Air Grover. Maybe after a few drinks and if there weren’t a shit ton of little kids with their parents there
>>2871161>went to efteling for a week>loved everything and nothing was brokenI want to visit so bad bros it’s unreal
>>2871178If you want to go you should wait a year, right now they are fixing baron plus there is Raveleijn that they are going to remove to add something new. And dance macabre still has downtimes sometimes because it's a prototype. I think next year i'll go another time myself
LSM magnets have appeared at Knott's MonteZooma
>>2871161Nice bro, glad you had a good time. What was your favorite ride there? Love me some Joris and Fata Morgana myselfhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbPGbTiGNts
>>2871183I would like to know the real story behind this thing. It's been SBNO for 4 years.
100% wolf coaster, gets points for looking not being a launch coaster. Looks a fairly fun family coaster with moderate airtime. Just a shame the backwards section is underwhelminghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nlVUvS3K7U
>>2871176I couldn’t bring myself to get on Trolls Trollercoaster.
>>2871190I have no idea what I just watched but that looks really fun! Never seen a LLM/ tire launch system hybrid before
>>2871188My favourite is Joris, rode it 30 times and loved it, never rode wooden coaster before as italy doesn't have any. Dark rides wise i'm between fata morgana and dance macabre, they are both thematically gorgeous, wanted the fata morgana room perfume but ryanair bitched about it and couldn't take it home :(
>>2871202>Never seen a LLM/ tire launch system hybrid beforeHuh?
>>2871175>Disney is SPECIFICALLY CREATED FOR TODDLERS AND SMALL CHILDREN. It’s basically a big fancy playground.
>>2871206you just know they all have white boyfriends
>>2871208Timmybros stay winning
>>2871206Me at 0:07 on the right
>>2871203>RyanairBrought it on yourself anon. That sucks tho
>>2871210Lmao. The look of absolute fatigue
>>2869930https://youtube.com/shorts/QnK79wgIpOc?si=Ys6NyNkboNp4WKaaI think he's going to improve it. I've long held the belief that after Eisner, the company began to fall. I really think they need a traditional white American guy in this role, not Jewish. They don't understand the wholesomeness we wanted in this company. Not the LGBT that Eisner brought.
>>2871175Hopefully you're joking. Disney is a clean safe place for all ages.
>>2871043I agree that the parks aren't meant for single people by themselves. But age has nothing to do with it.
>>2869930https://youtu.be/639ovdoJxzc?si=VB_k4ACOF07vjpgpThis show looks amazing
>>2871043No one has kids anymore boomer because you made life too expensive for anyone but the 1% and billionaires, get with the times
>>2871361I have 4 kids and I’m poor af. Probably gonna have another one
>>2871348That's pretty neat. Pretty effective use of projection mapping without it taking over the show. Wonder if Paris is going to replace the Wonderland show that everyone seems to hate.
>>2871373How big is the new Avengers ride at DCA? Seems like an obvious choice to put in that spot given its proximity to Avengers Campus. Since it's Paris they can even put in a half-baked version without the second ride just like they did for Frozen and planned to do for Star Wars.
>>2871376It'd fit comfortably with space to spare. It's a small footprint building (likely is a 2 floor ride). You could possibly fit it in by demolishing the hero training academy too.Can't see that happening though. Next phase of Adventure World is Lion King and Up (simple chair swing), after that, Avatar seems the most likely after that based on a big fuckup in the planning docs, likely built where Cars Road Trip is.
>>2871361You’ve got it so backwards it’s impressive. Life being expensive is what drives people to have kids. You think they’re having kids at the replacement rate in the Netherlands? Japan? Switzerland? Norway? Fuck no. You know who has fuckloads of kids? Nigerians. Everything is expensive for Nigerians and they have tons of kids. We need to make things more expensive if we want the birth rate to go up.
>>2871366>I have 4 kids and I’m poor af. Probably gonna have another oneDo you take them traveling and to the parks?
>>2871391Because they are still culturally at a barely industrial level where having lots of kids benefitted agricultural and labor intensive work.For those in the developed world, there is no inherent economic benefit to many children. In fact, because of the expenses associated with modern life, it's a detriment in the medium and long term, which migrants generally dismiss.
>>2871394They’re more culturally advanced than any other society on earth. Reproducing is the baseline for being a functioning society. Single cell organisms understood this 4 billion years ago but Europe, the US, China and many other places can’t grasp this today. The “””””developed””””” world is literally inferior to prokaryotes.
I went to a carnival and the mexican carnies had the rides going so fast the g-forces actually hurt. I kept doing them but man my neck is fucked up now.
>>2871398For me it's a Tagada. The ride that actively tries to injure youhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2d4NXqMNRc
>>2871398the state fair of texas usually has a flat ride that holds you upside down for so long you get a headache afterwards from the fluids pooling in your head
This is what goes on at WDW btw
>>2871405
>>2871405Some of you guys are this obese
>>2871405>>2871426That's why they go to Disney. They can't fit in a normal rollercoaster seat, so they cope by pretending that riding Jungle Cruise for the 300th time is just as fun as riding Millennium Force.
>>2871426>>2871430Some of you are this poorThat's why they go to Six Flags or other bullshit parks. They can't afford a Disney/Universal trip, so they cope by pretending that visiting the regional parking lot is just as fun as going to Orlando or Los Angeles.
>>2871442400lbs, possibly more
>>2871443Nonzero chance he's been asked to move seats so the boat doesn't have a list
>>2871443>>2871444uh, I'm well under 300 lbs, thank you very much. Although I have admittedly sought out certain end-seats on rides that offer better room for my junk.The only valuable question is: will you earn my amount of net-worth faster than I'll lose weight to a healthy BMI?
>>2871398For me personally, are matterhorn rides, rode it when i was a kid, i was clearly too small to ride it but they didn't care. Was about to fall out
Last night I dreamt I was on Tower of Terror but it was significantly different.To set the scene, imagine that the existing tower is somehow like 5 times bigger and open on the inside. You first load onto a proper trackless vehicle ala Rise of the Resistance which takes you up and around at about midway up to tower. Theres a narrow but deep atrium all the way down to the ground level and the trackless vehicle takes you RIGHT on the edge with no guardrails whatsoever. Then the trackless vehicle stops, you unload and there's a small walkthrough attraction through various abandoned rooms. You take an elevator down (like a real one with no gimmicks) back to ground level where you board the second part of the ride which is simply what we have today mostly unchanged.My dream was implying this was all one ride but realistically it's more like Tower of terror had like 3 billion dollars poured into it and was more of an indoor miniland pavillion like The Land at epcot. It had elements of mystic manor, haunted mansion, walkthroughs in addition to the existing drop tower.I hate drops so ive only done ToT once in real life but the trackless car going up to and partially hanging over the ledge almost woke me up. I don't know if there could ever be something like that in real life.
>>2871549>Last night I dreamtdon't care about your dreams, bro. it's like flipping through a physical photo album: If I'm not in any of them, and nobody's having sex, I don't care
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_6-9kmD0bUTLDW: there's a rumour the next land at Paris after Lion King could be Moana rather than Avatar.They'd do another water ride, especially not a big splash one but the idea of every land at the park being dominated by a signature peak is a pretty neat concept. Avatar land being saved for a third gate also is believable.Maybe they could do an E-ticket family coaster along the lines of Expedition Everest? Especially if the Mandalorian coaster never happens.
>>2871593>third gate in Parisdo they really get large enough crowds to justify that?Fuckers should have found another site in Spain to build "EuroDisney".
>>2871595They're contractually obligated to build one by a certain date or else the French government takes that plot of land back. Hong Kong Disneyland had a similar arrangement that Disney let lapse and the Chinese government has already turned that unused second gate land into apartments.
>>2871552>don't care about your dreams, bro
>>2871596>>2871595I forget the exact rule but it's something like 2030 as a hard deadline and 20million visitors to trigger an ultimatum. They probably won't hit 20mill before 2030 but they might get within 2 mill.There's the question of what a third gate would look like but probably one of the three:>older focused park with more coasters and a clone of villains land>Fantasy Springs type dense fairytale land>Epic Universe style completely immersive lands (seems doubtful as that feels like what Adventure world should have been rather than watered down 1 ride, 1 food place, 1 shop)
>>2871593It's funny that DLP has gotten nothing new since the 2000s solely because the 2nd park is so shit it soaks up all the investment in Paris
>>2871600California Adventure is kinda comfy now tbdesu. It feels more fun than Hollywood Studios, at least.
>>2871599Visiting Fantasy Springs proved to me they can totally make highly detailed and immersive lands without having to be pigeonholed into a single IP. They should really head more in that direction rather than the single-IP lands.
It begins
>>2871617I hope it all implodes.Fuck AI and fuck consoomerism.
>>2871593>TLDW: there's a rumour the next land at Paris after Lion King could be Moana rather than Avatar.Aren't they adding too many water rides?
>>2871617I don't know what I'm supposed to be seeing>>2871618What part is AI
>>2871393Ofc. We have season passes. Also go on at least one cruise a year. Never eat out that and grow most of our own food
>>2871405This guy is this >>2870672 poster isn’t he
>>2871618That is Dreamfinder not Big Al>>2871689This is new merch that appeared at Epcot yesterday. Dreamfinder merch past 1998 is extremely rare. New Dreamfinder merch without the dragon featured or even mentioned is basically unheard of.
>>2871684If they do Moana it has to be a coaster or flying theatre

UNIVERSLOP BTFOhttps://www.merlinentertainments.biz/newsroom/news-releases/2026/minecraft-chessington/
>>2871740Wow that's actually a huge get for them.
>>2871740Another 30 second rollercoaster isn’t going to blow anyone away. Chessington is the lesser park, always has been. If it were a top 4D coaster it’d go at Alton towers but those plans have been shelved
>>2871742Chessington is going to be a major family park after thisMinecraft is a bigger IP than anything Universal or Disney has ever had at their parks
>>2871740>>2871743lol what?
>>2871744Minecraft is fucking huge, boomer. I’ve never played it and don’t understand it but for zoomers it’s like their goldeneye or StarCraft, but gay
>>2871743The Minecraft movie didn’t even reach a billion with perfect marketing and good word of mouth. It’s not as big an IP as you think
>>2871747>The biggest selling video game ever is not a big IP because it took literally the shittiest movie that looks nothing like the games to only 960mLmao
>>2871748Are you suggest gamers will be flooding to chessington?Because I don’t. Dud IP
>>2871749No I am suggesting kids will be begging their families to take them to the Minecraft land and they will make huge bank & probably double their attendance over this Far more than something like Harry Potter which is basically a dead IP for anyone under 30
>>2871750>Harry Potter is dead IP for under 30sExcept it isn’t at all. Bookshops continue to sell out at least in Britain. It’s not millennials buying the same copy 20 times
>>2871740This was known for a while I thought. I guess substantially rumored and only now confirmed.This will finally get American thoosies to travel to UK instead of the other way around.
>>2871754I frequent a certain zoomer stomping ground and the Harry Potter area of it is completely dead.
>>2871757I saw an American thoosie wearing a shirt of a UK coaster tour at Holiday World last year.
>>2871757>This will finally get American thoosies to travel to UK instead of the other way around.You're going to need a giga or strata first
>>2871768your mom giga'd on my dick last night
>>2871774t. tampa autist
>>2871775>t. Tampa autist Disney adults stay seething
>>2871777Checked. It’s only insecure people who feel the need to constantly boast about how “superior” you are. People who actually go to superior parks have nothing to prove
Finally going to Disneyland after only visiting the Florida parks for years. I already know the attractions to see, but what about food? Pretty much only remember that stuff like the toffee is handmade there, unlike Florida
>>2871781Park food is always a ripoff, just bring your own and eat/ cook in the parking lot then go back in. Why pay more for less? Doesn’t make sense
>>2871782>Why pay more for less? Doesn’t make senseThat breaks their senses of immersion so they'll happily fork over 2x-3x the money of a normal restaurant for a Glup Shitto inspired meal
>>2871781churros are really good. the candy bar dessert at the antman restaurant is good but requires two people. the free bread at the bread factory is good.
>>2871783I will never understand Disney Adults… like, imagine paying $20+ dollars for a hot dog that costs them $0.20. Just the principle repulses me even if you can afford it >grown man who doesn’t like being ripped off
>>2871782>>2871783>>2871788>just bring your own and eat/ cook in the parking lot then go back inHoly poorfag. Just stay at home if you're going to be that cheap on a vacation. And how bland is your palate that you can only imagine people buying overpriced hotdogs?>>2871781off the top of my head, that's probably unique to California:>queso birria tacos in DCA>Monte Cristo sandwich in DL>whatever you feel like at Cozy Cones in DCA>whatever's current in the San Fransokyo section in DCA
>>2871793This you? >>2871405
>>2871793Imagine bragging about paying 10-20x more than something is actually worth. I can afford it, it’s the fucking principle. They can charge those exorbitant prices bc faggots like you don’t mind throwing their money away for it. If you stopped getting ripped off, they would have to lower their prices. Supply and demand. I’ve been a NFL season ticket holder for years and I always bring my own food and drink. You don’t get rich by throwing money away, anon…. I have 8 houses and I save every fucking penny bc it would be stupid not to.
>>2871798Not to mention the quality of the food. If you know anything about the service/ restaurant industry, these corporate kitchens are all using the same bottom of the barrel onions oil and ingredients, covered up in salt to mask the shittyness of their factory slop
Don't care still buying at least 3 dole whips every time I go in
>>2871803And you’re the reason everything is expensive now for people who ACTUALLY can’t afford it. Well done, anon. The jews will be proud
>>2871795Yep. >>2871798>Imagine bragging about paying 10-20x more than something is actually worthThat's...literally how capitalism works, my guy. If companies undersell, they don't make profit, they don't stay in business, and you don't get anything. If you have the money, it's a non-issue.>I can afford itNo you can't. If you could, you wouldn't be kvetching about a fundamental principle of our global economic system. Consoomerism is definitely a thing, and people absolutely waste money on stupid things. But food when you're on vacation is pretty low on the list of things people should be worried about.>>2871801I'm convinced you all are a bunch of the poor thoosies who only go to regional parks, and can only conceive of marked up hotdogs, burgers, and pizza. Disney and Universal food is not only decent in quality and variety, but it's not nearly as expensive as you're all claiming.
>>2871820> I'm convinced you all are a bunch of the poor thoosies who only go to regional parks, and can only conceive of marked up hotdogs, burgers, and pizza. Disney and Universal food is not only decent in quality and variety, but it's not nearly as expensive as you're all claiming.t. Goyslop slurper>have you ever worked in a corporate kitchen? It’s all Sysco shit. All comes from the same factories, just prepared differently. You just come across and ignorant and entitled, not a good look when you’re killing yourself by eating this junk. And… then bragging out it!… And… bragging about not only paying for it, but OVERPAYING for it! Lmao>NGMI
>>2871822>goyslop slurpermeanwhile, you're slinking out to the parking lot or to your hotel to eat...what? fucking gourmet meals, that are somehow super thrifty? lol, come the fuck on.>have you ever worked in a corporate kitchen?no, because I'm not poor.
>>2871824My wife makes our family organic food, and we know where it comes from, yes. I bet you haven’t even been inside a Sprouts or a farmers market, poorfag >and yes I do eat occasional slop, but I sure as Hell wouldn’t fucking boast about it, bitchtits
>>2871827You're seething so hard, you're not even greentexting properly. Your story doesn't add up. Someone frugal enough to eat in the parking lot doesn't spend on meme organic food.And name-dropping or boasting about going to somewhere as common as Sprouts or a fucking farmer's market isn't dispelling the notion that you're a poorfag.
>>2871824https://youtube.com/shorts/L4LtuIkm8TY
>>2871829You’re fucking retarded. Look up Monsanto and glyphosate. Enjoy dying of colon cancer and having trimmed out children. Bet you took the clot shot too. Also, Disney adults like you have ruined this thread by going off topic. You’re overpaying for lowest cost ingredients just so you can take a picture waiting in line with the plebs at some Disney restaurant and you’re proud of it. You’re fucking dumb. End of story. Move on
>>2871820Epcot ranges from elite to shit. It’s bizarre. That sandwich I got in the French area was trash (I wonder how the French workers feel about it lel) but the Chinese dumplings were amazing.
>>2871831Now you're sperging out, going full RFK Jr (when it's easy and obvious to eat healthy), and accusing others (confessing to) of taking things off-topic.It's not healthy to be this mad about being poor and crying about DisneyAdultfags who have more money than you. Just calm down and/or shut the fuck up. What's your favorite non-coaster?
>>2871846It was Jurassic Park before they let it go and all the animatronics stopped working. The compies fighting over the employees shirt was my fav part, but they stoped working a long time ago
>>2871847Yeah, I'm not so optimistic about the refurb this year. Rather than just fix and update, I'm assuming they're changing it to Jurassic World like in Hollywood.World is fine overall as a singular ride, but I prefer the overall character of Park better. I have mixed feelings on how wet the ride can get too. Could be my imagination, but I feel like it got wetter after they installed those paid dryer machines outside the exit.
>>2871850Too many screens. Practical always > CGI but it costs more and goyslop lovers don’t really care so they don’t have to invest in it anymore
>>2871846Also I’m prob in the minority here but I really enjoyed Triceratops encounter. That was REALLY well done IMO>t. Still remember getting snotted on when the triceratops sneezed and having to remind myself it’s not an actual real life dinosaur
>>2871846Above all though? Now that I’ve had time to think about it. Rhino Rally. That was the ultimate combination of awesome real life actors, live animals, and thrill ride, all in one. Nothing seen anything like it, before or since
>>2871757The BBC actually wrote an article about how theme park holidays in England (especially the southeast) could become a thing when Universal openshttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj32dml440noPaulton's Park is possibly optimistic as if you're staying at the Universal UK hotel then Alton Towers if probably only a few minutes further to drive and Chessington goes after the same market but if for some reason you decided you wanted to stay in Reading, that's 5 parks within a not huge driveOn a related note, not long before their Eurofighter opens which is targeted as a lighter white knuckle (only non-family coaster in the park): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pxhRfc8Dy8
>>2871893>that's 5 parks within a not huge driveAre there public transport? Like, could i do a 1 month, 5 parks without taking a car?
>>2871907There is, but then you risk getting raped by Ngibu and Achmed
There is currently rumor going around that Spaceship Earth had a pipe burst yesterday and it fucked with some of the scenes or even the whole ride system That is not confirmed but what is known is did not open yesterday, looks like it is not opening today and the nightly light feature on the sphere was not on yesterday
>>2871920Did Disney's diversity efforts hit the maintenance team? Why is all their shit breaking and putting people in the hospital?
>>2871907I think pretty much all of them are Train plus a bus
>>2871922In this case they were planning the full upkeep refurbishment/ride system replacement in 2020 then Chapek/Iger used covid as an excuse to not fund it and it was scrapped They knew it was going to be an issue half a decade ago but decided to let it ride out until it broke to do something
>>2871922>>2871927Believe it or not sometimes shit happens
>>2871893Wait, they're building a Puy du Fou in the UK? Wasn't expecting them to build different parks, neat
>>2871927The original plan was "Moana presents Spaceship Earth" basically>>2871929Yep, keeping the same sort of shows but steering it towards British history
>>2871893The main issue with the UK expansion of parks if frankly the weather sucks ass for a resort area, and one that current does not support any year round operations Will Universal UK just shut down for a few months like the other parks do?
>>2871893southern shandy drinkin bastards
>>2871893No Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Disregarded
>>2871931More like "Only historical moments we can attach a Disney movie to will be kept". Like the Moana Polynesian voyagers scene was supposed to replace the Phoenecians.With how that new version was supposed to be about human storytelling, it totally would have culminated in jerking off Walt.
>>2871932Paris arguably has worse weather. The issue with UK weather is that it's mediocre, grey and drizzly for 3-4 months. More and more parks are lengthening the season though with Halloween, guy Fawkes and Christmas events. Most half open in Feb too, Merlin getting rid of their water rides could be part of a strategy to make the parks more winter friendly (Alton Towers was supposed to get a big indoor coaster that doesn't look like it's happening)>>2871934It's almost a 5 hour drive....
If the Disney UAE project still happens I think it could be a huge proof of concept for the future of indoor fully immersive parks that can make climate obsolete for a year round theme parkIf they can reasonably do it then suddenly a smaller scale 3rd US Disney park in the northeast or midwest does not sound far fetched. The main issue of cold weather and snow reducing the operating schedule that prevented prior attempts would be resolved
Ma Eywa,Ma Eywa,Ma Eywa!
>>2871853Considering ho retarded BGT is I don’t know how they pulled it off.
>>2871850If they were changing the ride they'd have announced its closing like they did in Hollywood.I did notice the wetness too. Not as bad as the Toon Lagoon rides but it can get your top half pretty wet on the final drop. Hollywood's version usually only gives a light spray.
>>2871960This was back in the Anheuser Busch days when the park was ran by the people who built it so they gave more care to the park
>>2871949I think the chances of an Arab country getting a Disney now are essentially zero. Disney would be bombed first, and Disney knows it. The negative PR, safety reputation is a no deal. The juice wouldn’t be worth the squeeze
>>2871982That's reassuring, so I hope you're right.I was concerned with Velicoaster being JW that they would eventually and gradually change all the theming away from JP.
>>2871984As of this week both Disney and Miral reconfirmed they were going forward with it.I think this only gets canned if the war gets so bad and costly with damages to infrastructure and oil facilities that they simply cannot afford it anymore after having to rebuild
>>2872018It's almost as if electing a retarded grifting nepobaby pedophile rapist was bad for business.
>>2872018> As of this week both Disney and Miral reconfirmed they were going forward with it.That’s actually wild. They must have some crazy contractual obligation. You’d think there would be some covenant breach due to security. Maybe it was already baked in. I’d need more information. Interesting, regardless

https://www.disneytouristblog.com/iran-war-lower-crowds-disney-world-rising-travel-costs-airfare-gas/Tl;dr no one is going to travel because of high fuel costs (especially for flights) and that is not including how international visits are declining now so resort parks will be dead for 2 years, multiple Disney and Universal projects not announced or even announced will be cancelled
>>2872061>everyone is fat>only people with kids are Mexican Grim.
>>2872143>Less Brazilians>Less destruction of legacy attractions for IPAnd nothing of value was lost
>>2872145Brazillians and Brits make up something like 40% of their guests
>>2872146>>2872145For those who haven't been (recently) you might think we're exaggerating. But it's ridiculous. Even without the soccer groups, they're everywhere. And since they're the ones with enough money to travel, they're hot shit in Brazil. So they come here with outrageous egos and attitudes.
>>2872147Going to a disney hotel as a teenager during brazillian season and snorkeling through a pool loaded to capacity with Brazilian bunda is a memory i will cherish till my death. But yes they are loud
>>2872151It's too bad that for soilennials and zoomers, myself included, the cherished memories are simply ogling foreign chicks, and not actually hooking up with them.Internet porn, webcams, and social media have infected modern men with a voyeuristic and/or consoomer attitude that's going to be difficult to recover from.
>>2872151>sitting on the tube in london once>Brazillian tour group of university aged girls pile on in t-shirts and tiny shorts>train instantly gets rammed>face is now at arse level close to a lot of hot Brazillian girlsSometimes fate is just kind to you.
>>2872152Every generation thinks they invented looking at hot girls.
>>2872154If that's your takeaway from the post, you're literally too stupid to engage with any further.Anyone replying to you from this point and claiming to be me is lying.
Minecraft coaster looks to be more Gringotts than Hagrids. Very short track, going to be reliant on showscenes and a turntable element to keep the ride time high.
>>2872152> not actually hooking up with themI think that’s a skill issue. I’m a millennial and I first started getting laid on vacations as a teenager by just going up to chicks and saying hello, or asking for the time. If you’re in a swimsuit the time thing always works bc you don’t have a watch or phone. Then you just start chatting and they prob want somebody to go out and do stuff with too. Then if you like eachother you hook up and hopefully bang. It’s not really rocket science
>>2872169>I’m a millennial and I...
>>2871722Very nice. Everyone had assumed they'd do this, but it's good to see confirmation. I wonder if it'll just be these two in the house or if they'll each have other icons aiding them.
>>2872129>>2872137>>2872139https://youtube.com/watch?v=YwMfeKFp2H4I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS IS AN ACTUAL THING. It feels like some sort of fever dream created by DMT elves. Disney actually produced this??
>>2872191Yes, with George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola
>>2872191Something tells me you've never seen Moonwalker either
>>2872191>YWN get on the original Imagination ride then head next door to watch Michael Jackson kino
>>2872188The concept art they showed was focusing on the origin story of Jack the clown. I'm unfamiliar with the overall HHN lore but iirc there was a guy named Fear that created those icons so i don't know. I'm hyped for the rumored Boris house and Poseidon's Fury, but I wouldnt be shocked if they cut one of those as it would only leave 2 OC houses that aren't directly universal related. I also saw a rumor that Fortnite was in the cards for IP houses which seems so out of left field I would love to see it happen.
>>2872157>ad hominem >no argumentThanks for admitting that I’m right and you’re wrong. I accept your concession. Filtered. Now keep being a good retard and replying, I'll never see it. I know you can't resist, you're already typing.
>>2872207The Doctor Oddfellow focused year was kino, wish I could get to this one but no fucking way I can afford an Orlando holiday this year. Lots of rumours floating around, largely IPs they've all done before. A Hellraiser house has been rumoured which should be so easy to do an amazing house for.
>>2872207Is that the mom from Rugrats?
>>2872212Only problem with Dr Oddfellow as an icon is he indirectly harms the guests by signing contracts to take their souls which is too vague a concept to be scary unless you're obscenely religious. The best icons have a direct and obvious way of harming the guests. The icons have been slowly losing their mojo as IP has taken over the event. The old commercials were essentially snuff films on broadcast television and it just doesnt hit the same now
>>2870751I had a moment in WDW where I accepted death during a incident where I was suffering intense pain in my abdomen. I looked at the Slinky Dog ride and said fuck it. I then rushed back to my resort room off of the skyliner where I later was escorted off into a ambulance as my condition worsened. My main thought of what was happening was my appendix going to explode. It turned out it was my first time dealing with a kidney stone. I went back home the next day, but I did get a one day ticket for any park until 2029. I haven't used it yet.
>>2872069
>>2872217>Kidney stoneShould've gone on Big Thunder Mountain instead
>>2872217>suffering intense abdominal pain>goes on children's rollercoaster anyway>hurries back to room on slowest transportation method on resort>goes to hospital for avoidable issue caused by drinking too much soda>returns home the next daylmaooo
>>2872217That's two separate anons from this general that were taken out of the parks in an ambulance.
>>2869994I went to magic mountain four years ago. But I got sick and dehydrated and had to leave early.
>>2872218>How was your time at Universal, Miguel?
>>2872222Checked. Makes you think about the general condition of the anons that post in this thread
>2026>still no Magic Mountain movie
>>2872238I'm unironically fat. But I still make fun of the suspected fatties in the thread.I also take immense pleasure when I see people fatter than me in the parks.
>>2872246Pretty fucking based, NGL
>>2872243You got one in great america at least
Universal sent me a passholder survey concerning adding Epic Universe to my annual pass. They gave 3 options they are considering:1. Limit passholders to weekdays (mon-thu) and require reservations2. Giving passholders 10 admissions within a 3 month window. 3. Letting passholders purchase 3 admission bundles at heavily discounted rates. They mentioned hypothetical future 3 park passes with epic as being double the price of existing passes.They also asked about a few passholder perks they're considering adding:>Keeping the parks open later an extra hour for APs like a reverse EPA>Giving out express for certain rides on certain days as a perk>Giving discounted pricing based on the amount of visits you make in a year/the amount spent in the parks>Giving long time passholders unique perks/discounts>Expanding the Backlot system and letting people earn actual rewards from it including "at home play"
>>2872046Fucking kek, best post itt
>>2872222My younger brother had a fall on TSI due to cracked and heaved pavement. We had to take the ambulance out of the park right as they were prepping for the nightly parade. The workers were scrambling to close all the trucks transporting props and what not, but they didn't get to one in time, and I got to see all the disembodied heads of the parade characters. Thankfully I was old enough to know the characters weren't real, but man, a younger kid seeing that would have freaked the fuck out.
>>2872324TSI was such a fucking safety hazard and I am glad it is gone for Carsland
Holy fuck theme park news reporting is getting worse. I was trying to find out which UK park was getting a water ride with a turntable element. Could only find a youtube video of it>"THIS PARK IS GETTING A NEW REVAMPED WATER RIDE>"hello this is shittyunnamed channel">"there has been lots of speculation that.... A ride... a water attraction... will be getting work on it">"I will be talking about it from this park: " *pic of a blurred out map*>"there is a long... long... history of water rides in this country... but... there is one manufacturer... who hasn't made.... a ride... here..... yet" *blurred logo pic*It took 8 minutes of nothing but padding, not even filling it with other park news before it got to the only info he had: Simworx, Flamingoland, not open yet, probably May. I won't name the channel.Between the weird AI pic news articles on facebook and the shittiest clickbait imaginable for disneypark news, why is theme park reporting so shit? Is Screamscape really the best there is?
>>2872328> TSI was such a fucking safety hazard and I am glad it is gone for CarslandKill yourself, honestly, do it. Faggots with such retarded takes don’t deserve to live
>>2872357Or what? You'll post an angrily-worded reply in an autistic park thread on a Sri Lankan wall painting forum?
>>2872380What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little tourist? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in Tom Sawyer Island operations, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret rope bridge crossings and cave expeditions throughout Magic Kingdom, and I have over 300 confirmed raft rides. I am trained in frontier survival tactics and I’m the top explorer in all of Walt Disney World. You are nothing to me but just another lost guest without a map.I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this island, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with disrespecting Tom Sawyer’s domain over the internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of Cast Members across Frontierland and your location is being triangulated by raft operators right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot—the storm that strands you on the wrong side of the river at closing time.You’re fucking done, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can out-navigate you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with the barrel bridge. Not only am I extensively trained in navigating Injun Joe’s Cave, but I have access to the entire arsenal of hidden passages and escape routes on this island and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass back to the mainland, you little shit.If only you could have known what unholy frontier retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t

>>2872221It was really at that moment I had reached the end of the line I started feeling it. Oddly the ride seemed to have ease me a little, until it was over. Honestly I should had had seek medical help right there and they would had wheeled me out backstage. Good thing I didn't puke until I got off the Skyliner, there were two other guests on it. At least it happened at the end of the day, so I got to at least do stuff. >>2872222A few years before my incident I saw a dude get taken out on a stretcher in Tomorrow Land. The thought popped up "Imagine having to go to the hospital while in Disney World">>2872238I do need to lose weight, I use to be so skinny when I was younger. Recently I started bike riding to and from work. I feel real good about it. Never want to end up like whatever the fuck these slobs are. I really wouldn't be surprised if any of them died while riding the Dumbo ride.
>>2872407>that webm Imagine the smell…> It was really at that moment I had reached the end of the line I started feeling it. Oddly the ride seemed to have ease me a little, until it was over.

At least it happened at the end of the day, so I got to at least do stuff.A similar thing happened to me. About half way through the day after eating lunch my stomach started hurting but I just thought it was indigestion so I kept riding rides, but instead of getting better it kept getting worse, to the point that i couldnt even walk anymore. Ended up leaving even though the big concert was due to start in less than an hour. Saw the doctor the next day and apparently I had a hernia and it had popped out. Moral of the story, if you start to get on serious pain, don’t push yourself, listen to your body, otherwise you’ll might end up like the fatties on an oversized stretcher
There might have been a concept leak for the oft-rumored Shanghai second park (aka Project Atlas) and it is increasingly looking like they are getting Epcot 2. Heard before the rumor where they would differentiate by not having a world showcase and instead having more environmental sections.
>>2872410I think the one in green is having a stroke.
>>2872414If China gets Epcot 2 before California, America as a whole should just kill itself. Disney is essentially saying the future belongs to china.
>>2872414>EPCOT without the good part of EPCOTGenuinely what identity does EPCOT even have aside from the World Showcase these days?
>>2872423Westcot will never happen now because it is too similar of experiences to Epcot to justify investing that much into and get a payoff from since they want people visiting both resorts. Meanwhile they could get away with the concept being recycled if it is halfway across the world The 90s attempt was its only chance
You know how Nintendo has this dumb contract with Universal Studios that unless the ride debuts in Japan they can’t make it in America, I wonder if there is some loopholes in that clone rethemed attractions are allowed. You know, Transformers is one of them.I just can’t see where the Zelda attraction could be under that stupid guideline.
News from the Brazil
>>2872447good, now they can stay home and not visit Orlando>Bob Esponjakek
>>2872449Last time I went to Orlando I swear it was 50% White people and 50% Brazilians. As much as I love watching all those little brown girls shake their asses around, it gets old really fucking quick and quickly evolves into being super annoying
>>2872449So this means I'll never have to hear another soccer chant when I'm waiting in the queue right?
Also one of the Universal top brass was at Islands today shooting a promo at Lost Continent so expect an announcement soon and a major one.

>>2872605>>2872627>>2872630I heard so much about this rollercoaster growing up, entire documentaries were made about it on discovery and stuff. It was labeled as the future of rollercoasters and a demonstration of what the future could offer in terms of high tech thrills. Sadly, never got to ride it, but will watch the “what happened” documentary. I figure it probably had something to do with funding since it was owned by 6 flags >people don’t realize how unbelievably famous this rollercoaster was when it was in development and then came out
Do any other parks have employees that have become celebrities like Tom the Mime, or is it just SeaWorld?

I can see them doing a variant of the Spaceship Earth with a different design the way the castles vary but I cannot see them exactly copying it Also expect Imagination to show up. They sold Figment merch in Shanghai before and probably want to cause an eastern Figment mania for merch sales since he is the seller in Epcot.Maybe they fit in first Duffy ride?
>>2872632you're talking about it like it's defunct. it's still open
>>2872780wtf is a duffy?
>>2872783Duffy the Disney Bear, a teddy bear with the Hidden Mickey symbol worked into its face and pawprints that was too generic to sell in America, but became a massive money printer in Japan and China.

>>2872802Theorizing about rumors for a park no one will ever travel to is not soifacing over it, most people here are pissed about it lolAnd it might not be this concept but they clearly will get a second park, they are 5th in attendance worldwide and only the China resorts do not have a second park while plans have been long drawn up for it. They are also getting hotel #4
>>2872811That guy looks creepy AF. Exact opposite of Tom, and I guess into be expected of disney
I'll be in LA in a few weeks. Is Universal worth doing (before FF opens) if I'm well familiar with the Orlando parks?
>>2872731WHAT IS HER NAME
>>2872817I'd go to Knott's and SFMM before Universal and Disney if you've been to the Florida versions
>>2872817Imagine the worst day when it’s nothing but foreigners and inner city kids on excursions at an Orlando park. That’s every single day in California
>>2872819I'm doing Disney 3 days, Knott's 1 day and at least 1 day at SFMM. I know very little about USH so just wondering if it's worth a day there.
>>2872821The big unique thing at USH is the studio tour (which still has Earthquake and Jaws segments).Secret Life of Pets is a pretty good ride with shit capacity. It's well designed but at its core it's still a kids ride.Waterworld is an absolutely great show if you haven't been to any of the international Universal parks, and has some big practical effects.Jurassic World is different to say the least, the animatronics are impressive but it lacks the soul of River Adventure imo. Still one of the highlights of the park.Everything else at the park is either equal in quality or worse than its Orlando counterpart
>>2872822Thanks, I'm intrigued by all of these but probably not worth a visit right now, unless they're about to scrap the studio tour or something.
>>2872743I think they would have a ride based on Mario Galaxy and place Star Fox into the ride as a cameo piece or a significant aspect of the attraction. To compress their space-related properties into one attraction/mini-land. That and to have a permanent spot for a Yoshi meet-and-greet.
>>2872824Studio tour gets is less of a studio tour every year. Everyone that uses soundstages flies to Canada or the UK now.
>>2872731>10/10 womanlol. lmao even

Disney Is Developing An AI-First Platform to “Fundamentally Change How Imagineering Creates”:https://blogmickey.com/2026/03/disney-is-developing-an-ai-first-platform-to-fundamentally-change-how-imagineering-creates/
>@grok, give me a classic attraction and then tell me what IP I should replace it with. Then produce an outline for the ride layout. Be sure to factor in keep innovation to a minimum, and make the storyline include going to a party.
>>2872948This nigger gets it. It’s not even an own, literally, it’s just sad. The fact that these disney adults cheer on the enshittification of their parks is jus fucking bizarre
>>2872939Grinding down into the lowest common denominator until it’s just pure slop. Meanwhile disney adults are just like, please sir, may I have some more?! Thankfully most of them will be beyond breeding age soon and it will be a passing phenomenon bc the browns they hope will replace them with can’t afford it/ won’t waste the money/ will look for better value elsewhere

I wonder if they’re making a Star Fox SNW expansion or they making space mini-land that’s Nintendo themed.
>>2873010Doubtful. Maybe some easter eggs in a ride.
>>2873039Most likely just a meet and greet and merch.
>>2873039>>2873041The one thing that gets me to think they will implement Star Fox is how the whole Zelda movie thing turned out and there were obviously big plans Universal wanted to do with it by having the movie rights. Especially when you see how the Mario movie heavily correlates with the design of SNW and its attractions.Zelda could legitimately have the fate of being that SpongeBob store in the kid’s zone.
CGA has some great rides but man it's so poorly operated you can tell they plan to close it soonThe ride operations make Knotts look fast and at one point one of the queue railings snapped when I was in line for Demon
>>2873071Thoosie anons will defend this btw
>>2873010They are not going to, I know people are on Star Fox getting this endless media now because of this appearance but it is clearly meant to put a Smash movie together and Star Fox being niche enough to only get a Mario Movie cameo as his intro means he is too niche for a ride or theme especially when they have Zelda and Pokémon and Animal Crossing readyOnly way Star Fox would get anything is if they did somehow make a film and it was a billion dollar hit
>>2873095Who cares about a smash movie?If they don’t think Fox McCloud makes money, they wouldn’t put him in any movie as a teased character with a last minute poster reveal. That is not the kind of treatment expected for a character/franchise they don’t have plans for.The issue with Star Fox was never the property or its popularity. We have many Nintendo franchises with actual issues with it, like PIKMIN. It’s all about Nintendo being unsure on making a profitable gameplay model for the franchise but perhaps that’s changing soon. And there are tons of rumors about it.> somehow make a film and it was a billion dollar hitIt’s releasing on April. Everyone will know who he is and his toy will get released. Donkey Kong used the first movie as his vehicle to success.
Why are there so many talks about Luigi’s mansion as if Mario Kart doesn’t exist?
>>2873109Because the first movie already covered Mario Kart
>>2873110I meant by attractions.
>>2873109They love slop.
I wonder if the whole ghost busters rumor and Luigi’s Mansion rumor was just Universal’s way of preventing their attractions from getting completely leaked by giving them completely different names.Theme Park Stop notably gotten tripped up on Hollywood Drift by suggesting it was a ghost busters coaster. And during that whole section of its construction, they’ve filled it to the brim with extreme gas lighting by referencing other franchises.Luigi’s Mansion could be another ghost busters, and the actual attraction relates a lot more to the Mario Galaxy movie to prevent anything about it from getting leaked.
>>2873108nta, but I think you're overestimating Star Fox popularity in the general population.
>he's back
>>2873071Is there anything worth going there for? I really have no reason to be in that area before it closes.
>3 hour queue for Frozen Ever after in ParisI believe that's with them ticketing the land too. It's just not worth it...
>>2873161>waiting in line for a 5-minute ride roughly the same amount of time it would take to watch both movies back-to-backlol. lmao even.
>>2873154It has a pretty great top 3 and Gold Striker is probably my favorite woodie I've ridden. Whether it's worth it or not probably depends on how many parks you've already visited
>>2873148Can coomers like you leave?
>>2873184Agreed. All the anime fags and disney adults too
>>2873186Anime fags are already in the coomer section. Disney adults are simply weirdos who’ve become cultist for Mickey Mouse.
>>2873161Cringe western park fans whining having to wait 3 hours for a major brand new attraction vs the gigachad eastern park fans who wait 6+ hours to take a photo with a Duffy and Friends costume character

Sup /tpg/ and /rcg/. Any advice for Dollywood and Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge? I’m doing one day with fast pass for rides and another day for shows, just enjoying the park and whatever else. Last day anything else. Planning on ziplining.
>>2873189When I went to DLP there was a big queue for the princesses.>"if we can have your attention, from this point in the line, it is a 6 hour wait. Yes it is really 6 hours"
>>2873206I can’t believe children of all people can apparently tolerate that shit.
>>2873146That’s your complaint to Universal and Nintendo, not me.
>>2873146Star Fox died when they did that weird dinosaur game for the GameCube
>>2873119What I mean by what is featured in the Galaxy movie is Star Fox and Pikmin. There is a lot plans involved with DK and those IPs getting leaked out. Some are saying Universal is specifically looking to hold the rights to space-related Nintendo properties.
>>2873220They’re making another Star Fox Adventures for 2027.
Favorite restaurant on WDW property?
>>2873226Disney is super mid. I have been in their beauty and the beast restaurant, the Nemo restaurant, the lady and the tramp.
>>2873226None of them
>>2873226>start a war for the goyim to die in>go to disney to celebrate despite not having children
>>2873213It's not a complaint. I actually like Star Fox and would appreciate an inclusion in the parks. I just don't think there's enough evidence to support a prediction of a huge enough surge in popularity to warrant an attraction/expansion.>diedI agree that it altered the trajectory, but we're only talking about a moderately successful SNES game and a decent N64 "remake" at that point. It's not like it was a huge franchise in 2002.
Monster Mansion (formerly Plantation) seemed less good than I remember, or at least unfamiliar. The song is gone, and having the ride photo displayed (QR code ready) seemed in poor taste to me. Georgiafags, your thoughts?
>>2873186>>2873187UniversalChads stay winning. That said, my top 3:>>2873226>Satu'li Canteen at Animal Kingdom>Docking Bay 7 at Hollywood Studios>Columbia Harbor HouseI actually think the permanent food options at Epcot are grossly overrated, as are most restaurants at WDW. I like atmosphere and convenience.
>>2873241>I just don't think there's enough evidence to support a prediction of a huge enough surge in popularity to warrant an attraction/expansion.Donkey King was literally in the same situation back in the days of the first Mario movie. And Universal already expressed plans in doing stuff with Pikmin. If anything, I have a lot more doubts for expansions and plans for properties Universal has NO film rights in, or what they think doesn’t cater to an American audience. They want Donkey Kong and Star Fox because those franchises would work a lot better with their American audiences (historically proven) than Kirby and Splatoon. And I suppose Pikmin for them is basically minions and Jurassic park combined.The real limits about them and SNW is how SNW wants you to be a Mario character for the power up band. No villains. That maybe the leaks of the power up bands for Rosalina and Toadette is for a Star Fox (or space IP land) mini-land and a Zelda mini-land respectively.
>>2873226For me it's Crystal Palace
>>2873244>Donkey King was literally in the same situation back in the days of the first Mario movie.I don't even want to read the rest of your post since I can't trust it when you start off with something so stupid and wrong.Donkey Kong is incredibly more popular than Star Fox, as an older character with more games, an animated film, and more universal recognizability. In no way was Donkey Kong "in the same situation". Shut the fuck up.
CEO of Autism James now has 25,000 rides on Arieforce One.
>>2873247People like you always need a punch in the face to remember your ego dies upon your own mortality. Just like Disney does.They have Fox McCloud on the poster of the Mario Galaxy movie. They have a line up of two games in a row for it. They’ve spent several years in the background for this character and his franchise. They put him in a museum for what they’ve considered to be their biggest franchises. The real issues with him and his franchise was the lack of structure it had in the games side of thing and the lack of Multi-media they should’ve done with him. This is a Nintendo and Universal that already gotten success from Mario and Donkey Kong. And they will know about A Fox in Space and how it gotten a massive amount of attention upon its launch. And they don’t need advertising money to remind people about him when they’ve attached him to a billion dollar making movie with a big star playing him.
>>2873253>Oh My Science>There's a heckin' Star Fox on a poster, and playing a minor role in the Mario movie>This proves that Universal is making a Star Fox attraction because it's going to be HUGEThe funny thing is, I'd actually enjoy Star Fox in one of the parks and would eat my words if it becomes a thing. I just don't think there's enough out there to support your assertions. And you express your thoughts like a dullard and are incapable of addressing this like a reasonable person.
>>2873258I am a reasonable person. And I despise people like you and can’t stand the amount of tolerance I have to reserve for your horrible fuck ass of a personality. You like Star Fox, yes, and yet you act like a total fuck ass cunt to me after j have said there are leaks about him having big plans in the making under the hands of Nintendo and Universal that I didn’t EVER expect. Two games, even a movie, and yet you act like a pissy bitch to me when I suggest that this character and his franchise that has a stronger hold by Universal than their failed grasps on Zelda and Metroid, would have at least some kind space-themed mini area for him to be present in at SNW.

Looks like we have a new autist in /rcg/ - /tpg/ lore
>>2873303Kinda makes me want to facetiously claim that some implausibly obscure Nintendo character is going to get a multimillion dollar theme park investment. For comedic effect, y'know?Also there's this:https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/travel/plus-size-park-hoppers-disney.html"They’re Plus-Size and Kind of Famous at Disney World"Here's my satirical claim: I am 95% sure that Punch Out is coming to Universal Studios Japan. And they'd be fools not to.

>>2873320>NYTimes paywall
Do you collect anything from parks?
>>2873328Disney adult is a pejorative, so no Disney adult actually self-identifies as a Disney adult. They all think the term applies only to Disney adults who are worse than they are.
>>2873334If that’s actually your fridge, that’s pretty fucking based anon. Did you take your kids with you to all those parks?
>>2873320> some implausibly obscure Nintendo character That would be Chibi Robo, Rob, Game and Watch, Captain Falcon, Kid Icarus, and even Samus. And to tell the truth, I don’t think he was in the plans for Universal until they were having rights issues with Zelda and Metroid that they outright yanked him to make up for those losses. That maybe he was simply taking some concepts/roles they’ve had originally intended for with Samus and Metroid. But critical is not in your coomer brain anymore.
>>2873336Nope, not mine. I’m mildly considering starting.
>>2873338Why not. What a wonderful childhood that would be too with parents that love them enough to take them on trips like that. I just got disney, Busch Gardens, Seaworld, and Universal so just quick road trips bc we live in Jacksonville. I can’t even imagine the memories you would make going to all those amazing places with your family :)
>>2873339I meant starting a collection. I’ve never bought a souvenir at a park though.
>>2873340Oh, dude. I have loads. Esp from back in the day when they were actually high quality. It’s mainly overpriced chink slop these days so I can’t blame you but little magnets haven’t really changed >you used to be able to get high quality statuettes and stuff but I haven’t seen anything worth buying in years
>>2873303It's rosalina-anon. I accidentally summoned him when I posted the Star Fox poster. I meddled with forces beyond my understanding and an ancient evil has been awakened. Maybe he will destroy libtards guy as the sacred guardian of the genny. Maybe they will join forces and wipe out the thoosies.
>>2873343I’m more interested turning you into a cripple so you can’t ever ride a roller coaster ever again.
>>2873348Unfortunately for you I am not 300lbs so you can be evaded with a normal walking pace or slight jog if you manage to find a mobility scooter. Anyways, welcome back. Thoughts on the Ghostbusters coaster speculation being wrong?
>>2873370The only ride my body struggles with is the Berk train because the restraints on that kiddy ride crushes my legs. So good luck having to exercise this year.> Thoughts on the Ghostbusters coaster speculation being wrong?I hope it keeps happening because I really hate the leaking culture scene degenerates such as Theme Park Stop, the one who suggested a ghost busters coaster, enable.Universal really needs to cover up their projects better and they should to prevent any issues with their partnerships. With ghost “projects” to derail away from what they’re actually making.
olaf died
>>2873372He saw Lindsey Graham buying a bubble wand and instantly collapsed
>>2873374Lindsey graham perfectly epitomizes th disney adult. Thankfully, a non-breeding, dying phenomenon
>>2873334Yep, magnets are a great way of being reminded of good times on holidays. They're more generally holiday ones rather than just theme park though.
>>2873372I love the carrot flying off for that extra "yep he's dead" trauma for the kids.
The most eagerly awaited coaster of the year is now open!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9-iM9n4s5YAt least they give you two laps I suppose. Next big event for coasters: The Paw Patrol coaster at Chessington!
>>2873419a little too intense for my liking. i think ill stick to kino dark rides
>>2873419Fucking terrifying mate! When is enough going to be enough for these mad lads, I think we’re getting to the point where extreme is becoming too extreme. Just listen to the screams of the riders, they there’s no way it can be fun to subject your body to forces like that
>>2873372Why not just put a midget in a costume? Would probably be a helluva lot cheaper and more effective
>>2873427Midges aren't small or proportionate enough to fit into a 1:1 Olaf suit
>>2873428You’re tripping. You mean to tell me that little nigga couldn’t fit in a snowman costume?
>>2873334My wife and I started collecting magnets just last year, so we only have a few. I also try to grab a nano of my favorite coaster from the park, and I also have nanos of every RMC I've ridden on my desk at work(only Goliath, Steel Vengeance, and soon Fire Runner so far)
>>2873430> I also have nanos of every RMC I've ridden on my desk at work(only Goliath, Steel Vengeance, and soon Fire Runner so far)Nice! Hope you get a chance to ride Iron Gwazi sometime, it’s my fav RMC by far
>>2873429Pic rel. that baby on her shoulder is actually an almost 30 year old woman. There’s no way she wouldn’t fit in a snowman outfit
>>2873431It's pretty great. Is there any substitute for that barrel roll down drop? The ones on Twisted Cyclone and Storm Chaser aren't near as good.

Has anybody been to the new Expedition Odyssey ride? Have they fixed the issues with the visuals yet?
Is the left of USJ’s Water World the parking lot they’re going to use for a SNW expansion?
>>2873472What is USJ? What is SNW?
>>2873474Universal Studios Japan. And Super Nintendo World.They had an interview about making expansion plans in the parking lots of the place since the whole park is completely constructed with little to no spare land left.And it is relevant because Nintendo had a stupid contrived deal for any rides and attractions to be built in USJ first then other places in the world.
>>2873477Checked. That makes sense. I haven’t been to Japan yet but from what I hear that have actually efficient and safe public transportation so removing the parking lot for all and that actually produces will be a no-brainer you would think. I may be wrong, but who knows. They could always build another parking lot and have a park and ride situation.
>>2873477I also REALLY like that they make all the other parks wait for attractions until AFTER the Japanese already have them. That’s putting values before profits and is super based >and I don’t even like japs. They literally shot down my uncle. Fuck em
>>2872746Oh come on, Animal Kingdom and Epcot are the only "unique" disney parks to Florida
>>2873479Kinda. Donkey Kong at Epic and USJ were built around the same time. And they already have some listings for a SNW expansion triggering in Epic.
>>2873479I mean USJ gets more people than the other parks so it's still putting profits first
>>2873484I would imagine that part of the reason for it is because of Nintendo’s traveling money.
>>2873226For me it's eating apps at Trader Sam's
Can you imagine how many family vacations are ruined by the Hagrid's Motorcycle having a sidecar? If you have a standard family with two kids, one of your kids has to sit in the objectively gayer sidecar. The line is too long to ride it twice, so you cant just ride again and swap places. It presents a Sophie's Choice dilemma for parents. One of your kids is going to be permanently psychologically damaged by being forced to ride in the sidecar instead of the much cooler motorcycle and that trauma will follow them the rest of their lives. It's a direct pipeline from the Hagrid's Sidecar to dropping out of College and Meth Addiction.
>>2873623That coaster was 10/10 top 5 for me until I got the sidecar. Now I’m not sure what to do with it.
Seaworld passholder surveys are out and a 300ft tall coaster is two of the 4 options. The other two options are indoor launch coasters.
>>2873639I presume they mean a B&M giga or dive? Those things are getting stale. I'd rather see a Vekoma or Intamin giga
>>2873623The parents go in the sidecar the kids go on the bikes
>>2873642Now they don't respect their parents and it's straight to the crackpipe. Only viable solution is kids go in the sidecars and they just develop normal parental resentment and put you in a shitty nursing home to be beaten to death by a 300lb Haitian woman.
>>2873640>Vekoma Do they even make those?>IntaminThey get BTFO by B&M in the classic hyper model. Don’t get me wrong, their rides are better, but the reliability issues mean any park that chooses them over B&M today is run by fools. Parks will choose a 9/10 B&M over a 10/10 Intamin every time.
My school went to Dollywood in 2007. It didn’t have many coasters back then, and the only ones I remember riding was Tennessee Tornado and Blazing Fury. Mystery Mine was in the part of the park we didn’t see until the end of the day, so we didn’t get to ride it. Seeing people fly out of the mine into that zero g stall has been etched in my memory for 19 years. 19 years of regret that my group didn’t go the other way upon entering the park. It’s no longer just memory and regret though, because I finally rode it today.Unfortunately it was shit.
Meanwhile in Tokyo
>>2873654Big Bear Mountain on the other hand, wow. As good of a family coaster layout as I’ve ever seen.
>>2873653>Do they even make those?If you can build a hyper you can build a giga and they're a company that wouldn't shy away from it.>>2873654>Unfortunately it was shit.jej
>>2873658They’ve been shying away from it for 37 years, why would they stop now?
>>2873656Those little babies just want to build a nest. I’m a man and I would use that cutie’s hair to build a nest too
>>2873665The first giga dates back 26 years. At that time Vekoma's reputation was in the gutter, parks only bought SLCs and boomerangs from them. Different story now
>>2873639>The other two options are indoor launch coasters.Makes sense.
>>2873672Traditional hypers date to 1989 and they haven’t even made one of those yet. No one is going to roll the dice on them making a giga. Not Sea World anyway.
Epic Universe expands Potter once again.
>>2873684I hate that the HBO show can't differentiate their castle and uniforms too much because of the fucking parks
100 years old on 2nd April. Went on it as a tiny kid
>>2873656She voted for this
The Galaxy movie has been released.Fox is more present in the movie than Rosalina is.
>>2873684No that's a new City Walk allegedly. I assume for things like Horror Unleashed: Orlando
>>2873679>Traditional hypers date to 1989 and they haven’t even made one of those yet.Vekoma went over 200 feet with a sit-down and going up another 100 feet doesn't present an engineering or materials science obstacle>No one is going to roll the dice on them making a giga.This has been said about so many rides over time. "Oh they could never do that, they've never done it before," and then it gets done. Remember how thoosies said Zamperla could never rebuild TTD? I'm so glad thoosies don't run parks
>>2873694What the fuck is a thoosie?
>>2873694It’s not about what they’re technically able to do, it’s what parks are going to pay them to do, which is not making a giga when they have no track record of making traditional hypers. Conversely, B&M forgot how to make roller coasters, so maybe this will open the door for Vekoma. I’d like to see RMC’s take on them first though.
>>2873706Same thoosie logic. "Well they've never done it so we're not going to take a chance." If parks thought like that nothing new would get built and we'd all be ranking our top 10 wooden out-and-backs
>>2873707Hyper coasters aren’t new, they’re 37 years old and there are at least two established names that would be called well before Vekoma.
>>2873708But Vekoma has built a hyper, and there's no reason to suggest they're incapable of building a giga. And they would for any park that asked.
>>2873656>this is fine
>>2873695It’s what Disney adults call men who actually have sex
>>2873710They haven’t built a traditional hyper which is the topic here. Also this still applies:>>2873706>It’s not about what they’re technically able to do, it’s what parks are going to pay them to do, which is not making a giga when they have no track record of making traditional hypers
>>2873716>They haven’t built a traditional hyper which is the topic here.Still a hyper, and a much more complex hyper at thatIntamin built their first 300+ footer (and it was their first magnetic launched coaster) several years before they built a hyper. The idea that manufacturers have to follow a certain order like they're unlocking a tech tree is thoosie delusion
1. Blazing Fury 9/102. Lightning Rod 8.5/103. Big Bear Mountain 8.5/104. Thunderhead 8/105. Firechaser Express 7.5/106. Dragonflier 7.5/107. Wild Eagle 6.5/108. Tennessee Tornado 6/109. Mystery Mine 5/10Plenty of great, not much elite, though they’re clearly targeting families (or Lightning Rod would have inversions), and it’s a great lineup for families. Theming, food, shows, music, setting and museums are all top notch.Almost feels weird putting Blazing Fury #1 but it’s the only one I wouldn’t mind being on for an hour straight. The dark ride portion is pure uncanny valley, and thanks to the buzzbars, the air time at the end might be the best in the park.
>>2873712Robb Alvey is unfortunately the only thoosie that has canonically had sex
>>2873720fucking lol
Epcot was an admittedly terrible idea for a theme parkYou don’t have an easy in for Disney characters and it became unappealing for the core demographic of families until they forced them in with halfass thematic reasoning On one side you have the Future World attractions, which were great modern rides… until they and their idea of the future naturally become outdated and need to be updated and replaced, and not only that they needed to after 10 years vs ever 25+ years companies prefer for budgeting, but also that close to EVERY Future World attraction needed to be updated the same time.On the other hand you have World Showcase, which is great… until first you realize they barely can squeeze attractions into most the park, then also if countries sour against the host country and it becomes a target, which they lucked out with only China is vearing as hostile from their lineup. Could you imagine the target the park would be now if the planned Israel, Iran, and Russia pavilions happened?It is a miracle it worked out and eventually found its festival niche.
>>2873795World Showcase should always have been a Disney Springs type area and nothing will change my mind
>>2873795I always joked that Overwatch was Epcot if it was a video game
>>2873795I dont agree. I think it's just the same cancer killing the rest of the parks. IP given preference over original ideas. If the rides are cool, it doesnt matter the theme and there's an infinite goldmine when a park's theme is future technology. You literally cannot run out of ideas for rides
>>2873795Most of Future World's rides were about the past with a future scene tacked on as the end. Even the ride directly about the future was half "Look at all the ways we used to imagine the future" before making its own predictions.
At least they were able to take the jibes about their terrible new logo in good spirit
Redpill me on Kings Dominion.
>>2873825What’s so bad about it
>thanks to spring closures, the only way Fury will be my 200th credit is if I pad with air grover and great pumpkin Should I lower my self respect for this? Actually, if it’s not that it’ll be Stardust, which I guess would be a fine 200.
And the Kingda Ka spinner replacement will be >375 ft tallLol please take this park out to the back and shoot it
>>2873858Oh god, why couldn’t it have been shorter???
>>2873844It's clearly AI
>>2873858Seems like such a weird ride. Mega long uncomfortable stall with a launch, a spiral tower to hide that it's not very steep and the difference in spinning between a balanced car and an imbalanced one will be insane as most of the spinning will probably come from acceleration.
>>2873886Thanks for translating to non-luddite.
The threads gone quiet?OOOOOOOOOOOOO YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ITS TOON LAGOON TIME WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I FUCKING LOVE DUDLEY DO RIGHT NO I HAVE NEVER WATCHED THE SHOW BUT I FUCKING LOVE THAT HORSE
>>2873900It feels like the definition of TikTok the coasterSomething very gimmicky yet unusually wonky and insane sounding elements (such as an inversion launch) for social media attention and future videos about it
>>2873900>>2874038I agree w/ both. It just doesn't look like a good coaster. Very gimmicky.Everyone's going to get off of it thinking "That was fine but I wish they still had Kingda Ka."
>>2874023It should be replaced with SpongeBob or pokemon
>>2873817Again the strict theme is the issue. It is the same why Tomorrowland had issues until they decided for a retro futuristic theme It is that with innovation these rides get outdated, corny, and have things breaking down quick. Instead of the usual 25-30 years they have to update every 10 to keep up to date. Which itself is not an issue for one ride but when you have a whole area like Future World and 6 rides need renovation at once it stretches your budget bad. Part of the reason the 90s updates were so bad is they all came up at once. And all the buildings to this day feel stuck in the 80sThe first 10 years was possibly the greatest park ever made, but that is why it was for only the first 10
>>2874092no it shouldn't.
>Imagine… a future where people drive cars to get around
>>2874243It refers not to the future of society in general but the future of the small children who ride it. >One day in the future you will get to drive cars around!More and more I appreciate the speedway because it goes against everything Disney adults worship.
>>2874244Sounds like a retcon. Pretty sure the real reason was just to get a six flags tier ride into the park.
>>2874244>>2874247I mean the actual reason is probably just "it was at Disneyland and people like it"I'm surprised one of the autopias hasn't been rethemed to have like mars rovers or something
>>2874247>get a six flags tier ride into the park.well damn, Universal didn't even bother with an excuse, they just brought one in as an opening ride for Epic Universe
>>2874244It was originally built when freeways and interstates were a brand new thing.
>>2874261Car culture was already well established though.
I had two boss level thoosies in front of me in the line for the front row on Pantherian. One was the worst passing troon ever. If it didn’t have tits I would have thought it was just a dude with really long hair and pink shoes. It didn’t even bother shaving its side burns. The other was a guy who looked 30 and 70 at the same time. Completely gray hair but a young face, about 5 foot 0.
Speaking of car culture, what was the first park to do the Radiator Springs type area so many parks have? Not literally from the Cars movie, but with the 50s hamburger diner, the garage/gas station buildings, the classic rock and the classic car themes. Just this week I’ve seen them in Six Flags Over Georgia, Dollywood, and Kings Dominion. There’s also Hollywood Stufios of course and I’m sure I’ve seen it elsewhere.
>>2874278Americana and small town USA theming is so common as to be impossible to track and there are probably a bunch of parks that were around in the 50s/60s that have just kept buildings from that era.In terms of specifically Route 66. The cars ride at Paris, although shitty predates radiator springs and the surrounds are route 66 inspired but it may not count as it's a sub-area rather than a land.
>>2874292There's also the Sante Fe hotel which already had route 66 theming in the 90s before getting a fairly lazy Cars retheme in 2010
https://riderater.co.uk/12800/alton-towers-project-horizon-inches-forward/It's actually alive. Still not fucking fully approved for planning permission. The building seems slightly bigger than the Galacticoaster one (marginally bigger footprint but significantly taller) . Seems the most obvious ride type to me, If they can use the extra height to make the coaster another 10-20 seconds longer it'd be solid, especially as there aren't any Cosmic Rewind type coasters here.
>>2874112>It is that with innovation these rides get outdated, corny, and have things breaking down quick. Instead of the usual 25-30 years they have to update every 10 to keep up to dateAgain, I strongly disagree. Every single thing that was featured in Horizons is still relevant today. It's actually more relevant today because it shows where we missed the mark now that we're living in the timeline the ride was supposed to exist in. The issue you're describing could be remedied in much the same way that they already remedied it. They knew when they designed EPCOT that the park needed another element. So they added the tour of nations half. It ties together the broader theme of mankind's destiny pretty well imo. If they added a third tangentially related theme such as an area themed entirely to ancient history it would have allowed them to balance the issue you are describing by creating attractions that were by their nature evergreen. Could have done Greek Mythology with Hercules, the renaissance with Quasi Modo, etc if you wanted to keep with the trend of Zogifying everything good about the parks.
>>2874342>the mark is an epcot ride from the 80sNo it’s not.

No matter what, even in peak days, you will have a great day>Epic Universe is underrated and the cries of ride availability is are overblown. Amazing park - Hiccups coaster is also sneaky intense>Frankenstein is the best ride in the world>Seaworld asking you for a tip when you buy an ice cream from a stand LMAO no thanks>Hagridscoaster is a great retard magnet for early park admission. The amount of psychotic high maintenance mums who plan out their entire trip and are practically frog marching their kids everywhere - how is that an enjoyable time? Meanwhile everyone else enjoys multiple rides of velocicoaster, hippogriff and forbidden journeyto finish: Disney is unfortunately a waste of time. A big shame to what has happened to a great place. How the hell a ride like Guardians costs half a billion when its a glorified space mountain with some big screens and rotating cars with speakers. Also disney are incredibly far behind in new ride design. How many preshows do you want? Yes 2 minimum. I wouldnt bother again, just go to Anaheim instead. The only thing disney has better than universal is dinner options in the parks.thank you for reading my blogpost
>>2874353Where the hell did I say that?
>>2874368>Universal Studios is the best park to visitIf you like staring at screens.
>>2874368Why did you even mention hippogriff? Ironically Guardians would be better if it was themed like Space Mountain. Still an amazing coaster.
>>2874369See>>2874342>it shows where we missed the mark now that we're living in the timeline the ride was supposed to exist in
I’m not really enjoying B&M hypers anymore. I’m not sure why exactly but I’m sure it’s not good.
>>2874372The ride from the 80s presented an idealized utopian society that came directly from Walt's imagination. If that isn't the mark, it should be.
>>2874368> Somehow still gets a 2.5hr queueLow capacity.> Meanwhile everyone else enjoys multiple rides of velocicoaster, hippogriff and forbidden journeyForbidden Journey is a walk on most of the time for me.VelociCoaster has more kids riding on it than Hagrids.
>>2874319Everyone is looking to have their own cosmic rewind these days.
>>2874259lol based. Shut them the fuck down
>>2874374Having a utopian society is 0.00001% imagining it and 99.99999% designing it in a way that can actually work. Imagining it is the easy part. A toddler could do that. Walt imagining something does not make it ”the mark”.
B&M autist here. Finally rode Fury. I fucking kneel. I won't dunk on B&M for at least a week.
>>2874396The mark should be optimistic. That's the entire point of EPCOT>>2874403What did you like about it?
>>2874370exactly what a spastic would say. I bet you rush around parks trying to get everything done in a day. congrats you have the mentality of a psychotic high maintenance mum>>2874371>Why did you even mention hippogriff?because its a good ride>Ironically Guardians would be better if it was themed like Space Mountain. Still an amazing coaster.amazing it cost half a billion too. Chris Pratt mustve charged a fortune for those few lines>>2874380I refuse to believe Donkey Kong has repeat riders. and no hagrids is the family attraction, you definitely see the thing being non stop for kids. No doubt it isnt their choice but that of the vacation fuhrer: the mother who planned the trip.>>2874319>announcement of intention>still no spade in ground>based off Galacticoaster it will be crap>park makes Seaworld operations and ride availability look amazingwho cares anymore. this news is just Alton Towers kicking the can further down the road. The park needs its flat rides and entertainment back. Not to mention their coasters are outdated.
>>2874446It's be funny if it actually ended up being a compact RMC model after all the trolling by Merlin about getting one over the years.It's possible there's action happening now because they need to scramble for a replacement for the David Walliams area around the corner from it, good chance to add a bit themed zone (although given it's against the Towers walls the planning permission will be a bitch).Annoyingly as it's 100% indoors, the ride system will be a mystery until it's actually building.On other news... Is this even going to be comfortable? Isn't the point of a stall turn that it makes you feel you're going to fall into the restraints just as it ends, with a stall turn and it spinning no way they can keep you pressed into the seats for as long as it needs to
>>2874456>RMC at Merlin ParkWon’t happen because it will need metal detectors and that means more ride staff and training new staff every year for one ride. Not viable when it’s a seasonal park that doesn’t typically have returning staff (I bet they’re regretting the bag drop off idea because it means paying more staff). The only chance is they put netting everywhere under the ride like Rita recently
>>2874469It's all indoors so they wouldn't need it. Almost certainly a family coaster anyway.
>>2874342>The issue you're describing could be remedied in much the same way that they already remedied it. Again that they had to remedy it in the first place by making Future World not exist anymore was admission the concept failed. They tried in the 90s/00s in the Eisner era to keep the theme while updating the rides and we know that was largely a failure. Future World was a bad ideaNow if they made it World Discovery from the start and had it be what humans as a whole have done or what the world is like (tying into World Showcase) that might have aged better, eased the required revamp at once load and made it easier to revamp so we did not get shit like the Guardians coaster which breaks the theming entirely
>>2874494Naming convention should have been X Showcase instead of World X
>>2874446>exactly what a spastic would say. I bet you rush around parks trying to get everything done in a day. congrats you have the mentality of a psychotic high maintenance mumAd hominem fallacy.
>>2874405>The mark should be optimistic. That's the entire point of EPCOTDoesn’t mean Disney’s imaginings should be the mark, or are relevant at all. Notice how the actual idea for EPCOT did immediately upon his death. Good ideas live after their creator.
>>2874446>because its a good rideNo it’s not. It’s a family coaster that only entertains children. That makes it bad. It’s shit tier compared to good family coasters like Big Bear Mountain.
>>2874511>Good ideas live after their creator.That's an imbecilic standard. You're essentially saying we should abandon any ideal that is a creation of a dreamer that fell short. Nonsense.
>>2874446I do Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure both in a single day and always have. There’s simply not enough stuff in either park to fill more than half a day
How are British anons coping (in the literal sense of the word, not the newfangled meme slang sense) with the anticipation for Universal Studios UK aka Universal United Kingdom Resort?
>>2874561Looking forward to it. I’m hoping it involves classic universal film industry movie making because of Britain’s long film history with the major studios. The other international parks I consider not worth a visit (looking at YOU Singapore).Like euro Disney I hope it gives a big boost to the other parks in this country. There’s a huge gap in hospitality from the current parks compared to universal
The more I look at Disneyland Forward more I see what the real end result will be >The left portion by the hotels (Simba Lot) will not have any attractions at all. There will be no expansion to Disneyland or DCA and they will not ask guests to go over tiny ass bridges to get to hard to reach attractions. This will be hotel expansions and maybe some retail expansions so it holds all potential lodging they could ever need>Toy Story Lot will be park #3
>>2874560Look at Mr. Moneybags here, with his Express Pass and his speed-walking shoes.
>>2874625You can knock out both parks without express with good planning and hustle. Single-rider is a cheat code. If you're smart you can be done with all of Islands of Adventure before 10am. Depends on what time of the year you go
>>2874632>you can be done with all of Islands of Adventure before 10amSince you've indicated single-day admission, that implies no resort stay or early-park admission. Therefore, at best, that's 8:00-9:59. I already know you're dismissing the kids rides: Cat in the Hat, Pteranodon, One/Two/Red/Blue Fish, Caro-Seuss-el, Seuss Trolley, Hippogriff, Hogwarts Express. For the sake of argument, you might even be a chode and say Doom's Fearfall and Storm Force aren't worth it and not included either.That said, and being quite generous to your presumed points and claim of no Express Pass, I refuse to believe you can accomplish the following in under 2 hours:>Spider-man>Hulk>King Kong>Jurassic Park (yes, I'm aware of the refurb, N/A this year)>Velocicoaster >Forbidden Journey>Hagrid's >Dudley Do-Right>Popeye
>>2874632>>2874654Likewise, with the same parameters of presumably excluding Minion Blast, Minion Mayhem, Kang and Kodos', Animal Actors, and all the newer Dreamworks stuff, there's no way you could accomplish the following in just a few hours.>Jimmy Fallon>Mummy>Fast and Furious>Transformers>Gringotts>Men in Black>Simpsons>E.T.>Bourne>Horror Make-up>Rip Rockit (prior to last summer)Although, just to win the argument, I'm sure you'll strike Jimmy Fallon, Fast and Furious, Rip Rockit (accounting for attending the park within the last several months), and both shows off the list just to assert it's realistic to finish Studios' 6 rides and Islands' 9 in a single day.
>>2874654Im pretty sure you have to be 12 and under to ride half of that shit. And I know for a fact you have to be to ride Pteranodon
>>2874658A parent can ride Pteranodon with his kid.
>>2874654>>2874655Great job typing all that shit out. I never said without EPA. I said without express. If you stay in a hotel like that anon did, you can knock out all of harry potter before 8:30, then go to Velocicoaster and hit that a few times. Then the rest of the park is a cakewalk and you can wrap it up Islands before Studios even opens. The day you choose to go is vastly more important than any other variable.
>>2874561It's so long away...But then so was Epic Universe. Having a world class park I hop on a train to is exciting. At least there's going to be a few years of speculation and full on construction from scratch is always fun to follow. Unlike Epic Universe where 95% of the park was known from the offset, this park has maybe 30% rides known, another speculated and the rest with guessed themed but unknown rides. Universal don't seem to have been too leaky so far (outside of the land purchase being spotted but that was kinda inevitable)
>>2874663>I never said without EPA. I said without express.You said there wasn't enough in both parks to fill more than a half day. 1) What type of retarded dummy would pay to stay on-resort just to speed-run everything in an apparent half-day? 2) Irrelevant. I only mentioned that to preempt your inevitable seething and equivocation. Nothing you said supports your moronic argument that it's realistic to finish both parks that quickly.>knock out all of harry potter before 8:30, then go to Velocicoaster and hit that a few times. Then the rest of the park is a cakewalk and you can wrap it up Islands before Studios even opensThere's no such thing as a true "off-season" anymore. I don't care when you go. There's no way, without express, that someone is hitting up Velocicoaster, Spiderman, Hulk, Kong, Dudley, and Popeye's all between 8:30 and 10:00.
>>2874666>Having a world class park I hop on a train to is exciting.
>>2874675Eurostar no longer stops direct to Marne la Vallée, you have to change at Lille. Plus it's fucking expensive and you need to go through border control
>>2874680Fair, but I was making a joke that UK Universal won't be a (train accessible) "world class park", while Disney is one.
>>2874670Popeye only opens at 10am too. Anyway getting all of Harry Potter done by 8:30am means arriving at the gate at 6:30am and running everywhere when the place opens. What’s the point even going. It’s like enjoying the idea of getting on rides only and hating actually being in the park itself
>>2874684NTAIt’s not that being in the park is bad. It’s that there is a time limit to be in one.
>>2874405>What did you like about it?Speed mostly. I've never not liked a roller coaster that went faster than 84. Great drop too. I was originally disappointed looking at the layout because it didn't follow the usual hyper style of a series of big hills, but now I see why they did that. It gives some intensity without causing discomfort.
>>2874538It’s not abandoning if we never adopted it in the first place. And it’s more of a dream or idea than an “ideal”.
>>2874710It's not about adoption. It's about striving. Why would Disney not be about dreams? They're the dream company...or should be. Even if we never get mars colonies or dyson-spheres, it's worth holding those as long term goals so EPCOT is important.
>>2874712That’s a different topic. This topic is you moping because humanity doesn’t look like a 1980s dark ride when no one even agreed to make that dark ride the goal, let alone in the time frame specified by it.
Who's stepping up to make the next thread? I'm too retarded, and people would just complain if I did it.
>>2874717>>2874718Nevermind. I just did it.
>>2874717Who cares most of the posts are just complaining about Disney anyway
New thread:>>2874718>>2874718>>2874718I'm a retard and forgot to remove the "Lost Continent Edition" when I copy-pasted.
>>2874713>this nigga literally opposed to dreaming>this nigga literally opposed to shooting for the stars
