I think we need to look back at what happened with Tron at MK when talking about something like this. I remember everyone was almost dead set on Tron taking over the Tomorrowland Speedway before it was announced, because "there was no room left"... then poof! They made room for Tron behind the...

Yes and yes. Higher-capacity vehicles, likely open gangways to hold more people, potentially faster service, the ability to have more monorails on the tracks at one time given better full system tech, better cooling and heating, better windows, faster door operations, safer door operations...

Many hundreds of millions less. But..... that also has me wondering..... Iger seemed to have the final say on not ordering new monorails for WDW simply due to the extreme cost, even when they were visibly needed, and ended up opting to have deep refurbishments of them instead. I wonder if Josh...

Specifically, this photo stands out from Blog Mickey, in the upper right, you can easily tell a section of the shingles were replaced or added at some point, and stand out compared to the rest. They're flatter, more defined, have more depth, and look smoother. You can also see the staining and...

People are complaining back and forth about tones and shades, I think the real "issue" we should be talking about is how genuinely bad the condition of the castle is in up close. Yes I get it, you won't see it from far away once it's painted, but up close and in the photos here and from the...

While I think that falling flaming debris in both Dubai and Qatar today could definitely give pause to the project, I think the possible bigger issue is the instability in fuel prices that will result from this, and potentially have long-term effects. People don't like to pay for high gas prices...

I still want to know if the castle cake pink is hidden under all of those layers! Really, though, I would love to see the castle fully refinished and detailed a la Paris' castle makeover that got new hand-chiseled slate roofs and turrets and new plaster. Up close, MK's castle definitely shows...

Nowhere. Let's focus on the current parks more, and their *still* abandoned spaces (Tomorrowland, Wonders of Life, nighttime DAK) first. Next topic! :rolleyes:

The 'beyond the spires' panel would be the *perfect* place to announce the return of dreamlights, even if it isn't for this year!

This finally solves the mystery as to why nothing was done with the outdoor queue of the little mermaid before it reopened. Also really glad itll make sense in this area then too!

We know it has to be on their minds somewhat because one of the top "50 things they'll do for the 50th anniversary" rumors that happened before everything changed in the world was that CoP would get a decent remodel/refresh. And persoanlly, I don't think that the new paint, Taylor Swift hair...

I myself am part of many groups they poke fun at, and pretty much every group or stereotype has been poked fun at on this show, religious people, atheists, stoners, sober people, nearly all races, all socioeconomic levels etc. It's not like they're hating on any one section of reality. It's nice...

Going back to the Simpsons idea, I find it really hard to believe any land that current-day-disney would make of that intellectual property would live up to its legacy, humor, and overall feeling at WDW. The Simpsons is filled with adult innuendos, sometimes culturally (in)sensitive figures like...

I'm just going to say it... If they actually spent the $ and added some more theming outside, I think it would easily become many people's favorite ride at EPCOT. Not sure where I remember seeing it posted or talked about, but adding a huge model of Progress City that lights up at night or...

Did we ever land on a reason why it was cut? I'm guessing maybe it takes at least one show tech to run, but other than that, it's just lights and audio. No pyro or characters or anything. I hope they bring it back too, but maybe they want to get guests out the door sooner rather than enticing...
