    Soarin’ Across America to replace Soarin’ Around the World for Nation’s 250th Birthday

    It's a nice attraction! Mall of America also has a similar attraction - I'm assuming it's likely also from the same manufacturer. https://mallofamerica.com/directory/flyover-america

    News Guest dies, found unresponsive after riding Stardust Racers

    Exactly the questions that came up for me when I read it. I for one am not trying to place any blame on the girlfriend, or even the family for that matter. And I don't feel the Reddit poster was trying to do that either. The only reason I pointed it out is that it makes me curious if that kind...

    News Guest dies, found unresponsive after riding Stardust Racers

    I saw a Reddit post recently from someone who says they were riding in front of Kevin and his girlfriend. I have no idea if it's true, but the explanation of events seemed specific enough to make me feel like it's truthful. I won't post the link to it here because I'm not entirely sure it's...

    News Guest dies, found unresponsive after riding Stardust Racers

    I mean...true. It's not necessarily fact. Really not much of this situation is until concrete evidence comes out. This is just more information that could possibly bridge the gap of what has been floated around about "he was sitting in the back" vs "he was sitting in the front".

    News Guest dies, found unresponsive after riding Stardust Racers

    I just saw this interview clip. They specifically said in this that he hit his head, which seems to rule out injuries to other areas leading to death. The dad says he heard from other people that he was repeatedly hitting his head by slamming forward and back. Now...that still begs the question...

    News Guest dies, found unresponsive after riding Stardust Racers

    I'm not a HUGE coaster person. The most intense I have ridden was Rockin' Rollercoaster, Hagrid's, Mummy. I was riding my high of conquering my fear of Incredicoaster the month before we went to Epic, and my FOMO took over. I had intended on riding the yellow track since I had read it was less...

    DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    It would make about as much sense thematically as the other decisions they've been rolling out the past few years. Actually, it would probably make a little more sense.

    DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    My husband told me the news a little while ago before I had gotten the chance to see it myself. I had some VERY choice words. I know many people have the knee jerk reaction of "that's it, I'm done with Disney" after announcements like this, and most often it's not entirely true. But it honestly...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Exactly. So what's all this talk about TSI not being more popular? It's not made to be high capacity. It sounds like many people are expecting it to be something it was never meant to be. This whole "if more people visited TSI..." argument falls apart from the jump because it wasn't built to...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Also a millennial here. I started going to WDW at the age of 7. I was scared of anything with a drop (including Pirates) and I absolutely refused to go on Haunted Mansion after my first trip until I was in my teens. But Tom Sawyer Island was a must do for me and my sister every annual trip. We...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Cars and racing isn't how I view the frontier. When I think of frontier, I think of wide open spaces and land waiting to be hiked and explored. Likewise when I think of national parks, I don't think about all terrain vehicles racing through them. I think about the peacefulness of nature, animals...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Depends on if you're a numbers guy or a creative guy. Thank goodness Walt wasn't a numbers guy and built beautiful, imaginative parks that have (so far) stood the test of time. He took big risks and they paid off... usually. But his risk taking made him the household name it is still to this...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Exactly. Disney has seemed to have forgotten about this quote from Walt: "You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway." The Disney parks used to allow kids and adults to dream together in a fantastical version of a reality based grown up world. Not within the...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Yes! I definitely remember Alien Encounter being popular. I was too chicken to do it at the time but loved the concept. But I had absolutely zero interest in Stitch so the redo never thrilled me. And apparently it didn't thrill many others either. But Tomorrowland 94 was absolutely brilliant and...
