"This all starts with guest experience, and having been in this business for as long as we have been, we know what constitutes a great guest experience. We know that there are certain attendance thresholds that can potentially deteriorate the experience." - Josh D'Amaro

I can't wait to see how much of the water features are going to be value engineered out of this. You'll have the usual suspects tripping over themselves to praise it.

Pokemon has a presentation on the 27th, it's apparently the 30th anniversary of Pokemon (hahahahahaha oh no) and the news of their deal with Universal has been made more clear. I don't think it's that much of a stretch to think we might get news of what they are going to do then.

"Wow! It's just like Eisner and Wells!!!!"

The clock has run out, and extinction has arrived. Refreshed to commemorate this Lost Legend, my hand-illustrated inside look at DINOSAUR at Disney’s Animal Kingdom… The real goatasaurus of weird, ambitious, norm-breaking ‘90s Imagineering at its most unhinged & experimental. 🥹

Parks can, and should work on their own, not solely relying on IP from other divisions of the company, and did for decades.

Me, saluting, crying "Diggin' Diggin' in DinoLand" youtu.be/DM1vvbZ6f1E?...

A tribute to a heck of a paleontologist. An idea that was so ridiculous I had to make it.

In my humble opinion, The Greatest Showman stinks.

Mostly agree with this article but I’d add a couple caveats: 1) Dark Universe is technically “IP,” but it’s mostly reinventions of public domain stories & folklore that are centuries old. For all intents and purposes, it’s an original concept land with *very* loose ties to old Universal movies.

one of the more interesting rumors i've heard about Mr Beast is that there's been a fair number of engagement data faking for the past three or four years, and it has started to come up among advertisers after the awful Beast Game Show had miserable ratings

I remember doing the deal for Epic Mickey, and Bob Iger shooting laser beams out his eyes at me in the Disney dining room. “Don’t let this video game fuck up Mickey.” Oh well. That’s over.

At the end of the day, it's all still just Will Smith eating spaghetti.

There’s gonna be a lot of really weird shit getting generated and it’s important to know that it all had the full endorsement of the Walt Disney Company, who is paying to let people make videos of Mickey Mouse get into a shootout with a SWAT team

"We're giving a billion dollars to this snake-oil salesman, yes, but we're also letting you, the consumer, completely ruin some of our beloved characters, because that's just what technology is now, why are you all angry at us?"

Watch out, he'll scan ya.

That is a bold statement.

So I made this EPCOT VHS graphic based on blank VHS covers years ago and decided it would make a pretty cool shirt. www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/8338...

Brilliant storytelling is when the Incredibles shout plot at you through the speakers on a roller coaster.

This pretty much sums up why Disney Parks are being ripped up to shove up random franchises in every corner. Just a stunning lack of awareness of what makes these things special, why they work. Sometimes, most of the time, it ain't about storytelling.

The double splitscreen shot from 1:13-1:42 is one of the most insane shots created during the photochemical era. You’ve got a real woman fondling Maroon and Valiant at both ends of the shot, with the woman’s body hidden by splitscreens that run along the edges of the fluted columns in the BG…

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

I try to only post obscure anniversaries, so here’s one: 61 years ago, Oct 26, 1964, a curious episode of The Andy Griffith Show aired. The timing was perfect, and thus an iconic theme park sight gag was born!

Like the Brady Bunch, but EPCOT. Pavilion dedication poles available in my Etsy shop! designpavilion.etsy.com

It does seem like Disney is kinda creating their own parallel America 250th birthday thing. Which makes sense, all things considered.

Don't forget - I'm assembling a library of hi-rez scans of rare Disney docs: archive.org/details/prog... I picked up an AMAZING rarity today that you're going to love once I get it digitized! Exciting. But I can always use help to partially defray costs. Spare change welcome: donorbox.org/pcusa

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

By the time of this appearance in the late-80s on DOLLY, Miss Piggy had *such* a well-defined character from years of worldwide exposure on the immensely popular MUPPET SHOW that you could easily build a comedy sketch around that public knowledge of her personality…

Speaking of which, I can't get over the moment in the movie where they randomly cut to a shot where it imitates the way you see the ballroom from the doombuggy for no reason.

Anyone know if the TRON and TRON Legacy 4k is still available to buy?
