    First trip to Disney

    Bring a refillable water bottle to Animal Kingdom. It can get very hot there. So you'll want to be hydrated. Also while your at Animal Kingdom, make sure you see all the animal trails. And try and see the shows there as well. Festival of the Lion King, Finding Nemo, and Flights on...

    Do You think DISNEY has gone down hlll the last few years?

    Do I think Disney is going downhill? No. I think operating costs have gone way up for them. I think the cost of getting food to prepare has gone up. I think rides are getting both older and more complicated. I think more people are coming, which makes it harder for them to get major...

    Just Back :(

    1. SM is an Arrow coaster. When they work, they are good. When they break down.......they break down. I worked on a Arrow coaster a while back. It's very hard to fix quickly. 2. Splash has been having an issue with some piping inside the mountain and recently filed permits to install...

    Official Fantasyland Expansion Q & A (Mickey gets evicted) PART II

    Well I had been hearing that the attraction is ahead of schedule a little bit. They are still saying January-March 2014 to be safe. But they think it may be done sooner. But all that can change.:confused3

    Official Fantasyland Expansion Q & A (Mickey gets evicted) PART II

    Well the first quarter of Disney's 2014 begins October 1st; as their financial year begins. And the first quarter ends in January if im not mistaken. Plus this ride is likely to rise quickly, especially with the rest FLE not ready to open till October. The interesting thing about this...

    No Wonder They Were Thinking About Selling.

    Idk. I'm not an "insider" like those guys. I just maintain a roller coaster for a living.

    AK needs a TSM attraction

    First, Pandora will look amazing; especially at night. Secondly, a year ago at a conference(ride maintenance conference) I heard about an interesting "flying attraction concept" that they had been working on. It was totally independent. No track, no cables. I saw permits on another site for...

    If you're reading this...

    I love reading stuff like this. Makes me remember that there are good people in the world. Hard to remember that when my car broke down this week. I stalled out and I got out of the car to try and push it into a parking lot. I really struggled to get that car outta the street. And do you...

    Just Back :(

    Unfortunately, these things do break down and have bugs. They sound simple to run but they aren't. I'm on a maintenance crew at a park and take care of a coaster. It's hard work. There are days where I just sit down after a rides broken and think to myself "gosh this thing just doesn't want...

    Which Disney attraction doesn't exist yet, but should?

    Thank you for saying this. People always say why isnt Soarin digital. It's because of the reason you state. As for attraction that doesn't exist yet, I'll say "to be built" Avatar Banshee flying attraction coming with Pandora.

    No Wonder They Were Thinking About Selling.

    Did you people really buy this rumor? Did you really think Disney was selling the parks? Seriously? It was a LIE!!! It was a FABRICATED rumor. They were NEVER thinking of selling. It was created by two "Insiders" who have a bone to pick with Disney. I read where the "rumor" was posted...

    Official Fantasyland Expansion Q & A (Mickey gets evicted) PART II

    Just to add some things. 1. Both Dumbo's should open together. The old Dumbo arms and elephants are getting refurbished most likely and will be installed once finished. 2. Water play area is a pre-fab structure. Drop it in, connect a few things and you are good to go. 3. Mine...

    xPass or Premium FASTPASS? Yes, I'm Starting ANOTHER FP Forum

    It's all probably connected to a computer. The same number of FP's as usual, only now certain people can book in advance. Personally, I still don't see what's wrong with it. If you buy the XPass and book a FP in advance, then you were planning on getting a FP on the day you were in the park...

    xPass or Premium FASTPASS? Yes, I'm Starting ANOTHER FP Forum

    Well first, Fast Lane now a days is about $65 a day on average last I heard. And its $35 for days no one is there. Just depends on the day. I see your numbers. But at the end of the day, I think it's as simple as this. XPass is designed for the people who will pay for it. If you want to...

    xPass or Premium FASTPASS? Yes, I'm Starting ANOTHER FP Forum

    I persoanlly think they will set aside FP's just for this. And from experiencing Cedar Fairs "Fast Lane" it didnt really effect the line really. No more then FP does today. Idk if this will be different but I dont imagine it would.

    Paints brushes on Tom Sawyer's Island update

    We have a winner. You are right. And since one of those rides is down, they aren't going to hide them. They should be back once BTMRR reopens.

    xPass or Premium FASTPASS? Yes, I'm Starting ANOTHER FP Forum

    I dont really see what the fuss is about with all this. If you want to use it, pay for it. If you don't then just vacation as usual. For what its worth, the Cedar Fair parks tried this out last year and it was really popular.

    Any news on the Yeti!

    This has been quoted for truth. The Yeti is broken, they know the issue, and they have the fix. Now its just the waiting game. Ive heard from a couple people who know a bit about the inside workings who say the Yeti should be fixed up before Pandora opens up in 2016. Sometime between now and...

    HS Fantasmic! refurbishment?

    It wont be changed totally from the rumors Ive heard. Just little new things here and there. Like I said, deff some tech upgrades from what I heard last. Just because they havent gotten one in the past, doesnt mean they wouldnt get a new one now. Murphy arrived in 2009 and actually...
