Friendly reminder that Ariel is confirmed as the motherfucking Messiah of the Disney Princesses. I mean look at this goddamn halo on her. They know.

>>92806427
That is the ToT at Hollywood Studios. It still exists for you to visit, newfriend.

>>92806431
When's construction finished on Star Wars Land? After that I figure they go on to whatever next jumbo franchise starts next.

>>92806427
Fuck that ride in every direction. Like I need to be tossed about randomly in the dark.

>>92806564
It's getting shut down at the end of the year, did you not hear?

They are building Elsa's castle in it's place

>>92806560
Now they just need to nail her

>>92807003
Stop with the lies

>>92807003
the Orlando Tower of Terror is way too iconic of a ride for them to get rid of. The California Adventure ToT pales in comparison.

>>92806736
I think they said 2019?

>>92807132
But Eric already does that

>>92807332
They've gone through several icons already, I'm sure they can find a new one.
In my day, it was the Earful Tower.

Long time Cast Member, reporting in. Ask me anything or whatever.

>>92808069
He's not talking about it as the park icon. It never has been. That doesn't stop it from being iconic.

>>92807723
By then I think a new franchise will probably be gaining traction.


Maybe they can gyp Universal out of the new harry potter universe film theme park rights. They made a HUGE mistake trying to grab control from JK Rowling, Universal knew that if they wanted Harry Potter they had to be Rowling's bitch. Maybe Disney learned its lesson.

Daily remider going to any disney/universal park during the "summer" is literally the worst thing you can do.

Allways remember avoid going if possible on:
-any dates a week near New years/Christmas or exactly on those dates
-Spring break
-Brazillian tourist season
-Late may/Graduation season
-june - the beginging half of August
-a few days close to halloween

>>92808402
No, probably no. I like my job, but most people I work with don't, and we make next to nothing.

>>92808442
Oh man, that's hard. I've had a lot of good ones, but they just kind of stick together in my head and don't stand out anymore after a while.

The one I think back on most often probably was a British guy yelling at me about how he should be able to get more FastPasses than other people because he's, "disabled," and, "disabled people come first." After he yelled for a while I told him I'd get him on the Jungle Cruise, but he refused because it's a, "baby ride for babies." His daughter said she wanted to ride it, and he told her she didn't. He then kept yelling for a while. Eventually his wife and daughter literally left him and rode without him while he kept yelling.

A Cast Member later asked me how I stayed calm, and I told her it was everything I could do not to laugh in his face. That's how I am with most angry Guests. It's so funny to me that they're using their vacation to yell about nothing instead of just going and enjoying it. It's hilarious, I struggle not to laugh.

>>92808637
I usually go early December because it's relatively cool and the Orlando parks usually have some Christmas stuff set up by then.

In Disneyland right now. Got fast passes for Cars Land and Guardians.

>>92808315

I was just at Disneyworld a few weeks ago; if that was spring I have no idea how I'd survive Summer.
Our day at Epcot was more or less lost to the heat, we just had to get back to the resort to cool off in the pool most of the afternoon.
And then the night show wasn't that great because we were in the wind for all the firework smoke.
Ah well.

So I'm not alone good. Fuck everything about working at Six Flags. Making me work full time at 16. Food service is already miserable but add the same loop of adds, 100 degree+ weather and only half the people I worked with speaked English and the other half spoke broken African or Chinese engrish. Which one are you senpai Great Adventure for me but thank god I found better

Japanese Emperor Hirohito visited Disneyland in 1975. It was fucking surreal.

Fiesta Texas, and I know what you mean about no one speaking english, its about 50/50 here english and spanish. Wouldn't be so bad except they get angry and yell at you when you can't understand them because they're speaking too fast.
Other bad part is Six Flags is cheap as fuck and we're regularly out in that100 degree+ weather like you mention but in our suits that have no ventilation or cooling systems. They only keep us out for 30 mins at a time but holy shit its in direct sunlight with a foam-rubber fatsuit to fill out the character.
Glad to hear you found better though, I guess there's still hope.

Disney parks are overpriced shitholes.

>>92808637

I went last year in the second week of November. High 70's/low 80's with no humidity all week, Christmas decorations were up, and you could actually move around without fighting through crowds. Shit was cash.

>>92808637
I went to orland in mid september, no lines what so ever. Nothing better than going to rides such as harry potter "dragon rollercoaster" or future mountain 2-3 times in a row in less than 30 minutes.

The bad side is that you have to walk those half mile long empty lines every time.

Plus a few rides were on maintenance / disabled because of the low demand.

>>92808434
WHERE IS THIS

>>92809091
No. I work with a lot of people who don't like their jobs, but it's more that they have to be nice to people, they're demanding millenials, and they don't get paid alot. Death is a bit much.

That said, I'm not in Entertainment. But I'm pretty sure Entertainment doesn't wish for death by watching them. Probably helps that they have, like, five minutes on stage and 20 minutes off stage or some unreal shit.

>>92809308
Weird. This was an unseasonably cool Spring that felt just about perfect, and pretty cold at night.

>>92809387
In my case, pretty easy. I'm an awkward nerd guy, but straight men are so vastly outnumbered by women, it's easy as hell.

>>92809793
In general, people freaking out over nothing. I posted above about the man screaming that the Jungle Cruise was for babies, so he didn't want a FastPass for it, even though his wife and daughter did. That's probably the top.

FastPass in general brings out the dumb from a lot of people. It's a pretty simple system, but there are some people who just cannot into it. I once had a woman complaining to me that it was unfair that FastPass people were going in front of her, since they paid more. I told her it was free, and she started screaming at me that it was untrue. Her husband said something like, "honey, he works here, I'm sure he knows," and she just kept screaming. Then someone behind her told her it was free, and he'd set one up while she was screaming on his phone. She kept screaming saying, "well, it wasn't free when I tried to get one!"

Has anyone been to the new Avatar Land yet?

>>92819983
Yes.

It's way better than I expected. I don't care at all about the property, it's a weird fit in Animal Kingdom, and it's embarrassing how desperate it is to try and be the Wizarding World.

Despite all that, it's really pretty great. Very pretty and detailed with a feel of history in a lot of the design. The boat ride is cool, because I'm a sucker for atmospheric boat rides. The banshee ride is way, way better than I expected. I'm sick and tired of how much the theme park industry is leaning on projection screens instead of physical effects, but it does so much to add to the experience it's about the best in the genre I've seen.

The problem is capacity. Both rides are fairly inefficient. I don't know why they built such small boats for River Journey. The area itself is pretty small, too.

Do you costume performers have anything in those suits to keep cool? Cooling packs, fans?

>>92820199

I'd imagine part of the deal they cut with Universal was trademark control and maybe being a prestige part of the park including it's own themed hotel (Universal's been wanting to get into that business in Florida as well). Nintendo likely pulled rank and got a sweetheart deal. Likely in exchange for sharing the Florida park with other companies.

WHEN YOU KNOW IT IS A THRILL WHEN YOU GO DOWNHILL

>>92809602
Always.
Espacialy if you are there

When are they gonna get rid of It's A Small World already? It takes up a huge amount of space and the ride is a piece of outdated shit.

>>92822018
For every kid that get's traumatized, Walt gains 10 minutes extra in heaven

>>92822018
Why would they get rid of one of the daily 4-5 most visited attractions? Do you understand not everyone dislikes the things you dislike?

On a typical day, these are the most ridden attractions in the Magic Kingdom (I know because I have access to the data):

1. Pirates of the Caribbean - Almost always first, unless it has a truly long downtime.

2. Haunted Mansion - Sometimes third.

3. Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin - Sometimes second.

4. Space Mountain - Almost always in this spot.

5. "it's a small world" - Sometimes makes it to fourth, but usually right here.

Then there's a really big drop, with Splash and Thunder alternating spots based on weather, and the Little Mermaid being in the mix as well.

I plan on going to Tokyo Disney for Christmas this year, this would be the first time I ever go to Disney park anything.

I am very much looking forward to it.

>>92822802
It's one of the better ones too

>>92822802
I heard there's a lot less drama in that park compared to the other parks. I wonder why....

>>92807003
Source? An actual source that confirms it, not an article or forum post with some shit clickbait title like "TOWER OF TERROR WDW TO BECOME GUARDIANS (RUMOR)".

Real talk, I live an hour away from Disney, but NEVER have been there on a day with reasonable crowd levels.

Why is six flags more superior than Disneyland?

>>92808358

My hope has always been that Universal's deal that they announced with Nintendo is a sign that Disney has managed to make a deal behind the scenes for the Marvel park rights.

>>92823337
They don't destroy classic rides and re-theme them for new movies...

>>92823405
Not gonna happen. Universal is gonna hold on to those rights as long as the Marvel superheroes are popular just to spite Disney.

>>92823453

I'm sure you're right, but a man can dream.

Judging by what I saw of the Star Wars land at SW Celebration, that combined with an MCU park would be the death of Universal.

>>92823515

>mfw no Metroid ride cause Nintendo hates Samus

Zootopia attractions when?

>>92823561

Idk man, they're really going all-out with the Star Wars stuff.

At Celebration, it was announced that the new Star Wars land is going to be a canon part of the Star Wars universe. The setting will be a yet-to-be named trading outpost from the days of sub-lightspeed travel, but now it's only populated by smugglers and bounty hunters, and other off-the-grid types. The idea is that it's a place that's always existed, and the characters we know may have been there, we just haven't discovered it yet.

The First Order and the Resistance will both have a presence there, and you could support either. There will be droids roaming around, full-size AT-AT's, and they've even hinted at a full-size sarlacc pit in footage. Also, you'll be able to pilot the Millennium Falcon in a ride that's been hinted at multiple endings.

>>92823659
Maybe it's for the best. I still think Metroid would work better as a show. Kind of like that old Alien Encounter thing.

>>92822656
You forgot the Seven Midget Mini Mountain Mine Cart Too-Short Train Ride.

>>92824610
>>92823659

Super Nintendo Land is supposed to be an "Inbetween" area of the park like Toon Lagoon is in IOA. I'd imagine moderately intense rides have have some speed like Mario Kart being a more interactive version of Test Track or a Zelda
ride with some intense drops like Ripsaw falls. I don't really see them pushing a T-Rated franchise and Universal would probably have a good range of picks from other companies they are signing with if they really wanted to do a Mature dark ride/show like Resident Evil or Gears Of War. (I would do terrible things for a Dead Space ride. Or a new Dead Space for that matter)

Rip-Saw falls though. Fuuuuuuuuuuck.

Especially fuck that drop in the dark

>>92823787
Wasn't Star Tours already canon before Disney did the reboot?

this is from cbr article

>A strange artifact has cropped up right outside Disneyland’s Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout ride, and it’s not an escapee from The Collector’s vast cache of exotic flora and fauna. No, it’s a hatch bearing the familiar insignia of Marvel’s greatest superhero team: the Avengers. The hatch was first noticed shortly after the ride’s grand opening last week, and it might be teasing one of the park’s big, upcoming expansions.

>The new Guardians of the Galaxy ride was announced in Comic-Con International: San Diego in 2016, along with a tease from Joe Rhode, Disney’s Imagineering executive, that the ride would just be the first step in a massive expansion for the park.

>“[The Ride] will be the first of a whole new universe in Disney California Adventure,” Rhode said. “All of this is happening as we speak.”

>>92820126

>>92824960
Not sure about Star Tours (though the Sequel Trilogy updates kind of throw that all out the window).
