News Round Up 2016

[skier_pete]

From the article:
"The new score will be based on the music from the original Soarin’ attraction."

PHEW! I hope it's still close in caliber.

I've always been in the "change the movie all you want - just leave the score and let me still smell the oranges" camp. I also hope at some point in the future they run BOTH movies.

I'm SUPER excited about some of these airing again! I'm certainly going to be setting my DVR. I might have to shell out some $ for Tru Confessions though... sad that one didn't make the marathon cut!

Don't worry. I'm 27 and haven't heard of any of these movies before.

I am crossing my fingers that there will be scents in the new one! Still trying to figure out what the Great Wall smells like

Universal raises AP prices

http://m.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/ar...g-universal-orlando-raises-annual-pass-prices

Dangit! We are going in February 2017 for our first Uni trip, and I was going to get a pass to use across two trips (Feb 2017 & 2018). Last AP raise was August 2015, so I was thinking I could pick it up before any price increase. Looks like non-Florida resident Power Pass went from $235 to $259 - $24 rise. Curse you Universal!

YAWN!

Do people actually stop to watch these things? I get that it's nice to sit in a cool theater, but the last thing I really want to do is sit down and watch a movie trailer. I'd rather do just about anything else.

The "One Man's Dream" movie was awesome. Bring it back please or knock the theater down.

I forgot they were doing the Jungle Book preview last time and actually sat and waited for it for about 10 minutes after I finished looking through the museum. Then the CM announced it (I somehow was not clued in by the giant poster covering the doors) and I sighed and left. I wish they would bring back the film, I still have never seen it because I skipped it my first few times and every time I come back now it's some sort of movie preview.

One of the most deceptively named things in all of Disney. For the price, I just assumed characters were in the balloon with you and you got pictures in the air with them. lol

 

[Gastonecrosse]

I don't mind the previews, but I also second the desire to watch One Man's Dream again. I have only seen it once. Maybe they could alternate One Man's Dream / Preview throughout the day so that you could sit and watch either one or both.

 

[Gastonecrosse]

Also, I keep meaning to ask (I don't know if I have ever seen it discussed before), but has there ever been talk about Disney/Pixar ever doing an HD remake/remaster of, say, Toy Story? This type of thing seems quite frequent in the Video Game world and with live-action movies (getting re-mastered), but I don't think I have heard of it being applied to old CG pictures. I wonder if there would be a market for movies (like Toy Story) to be re-released with all the same audio and all new graphics.

No discussion. Got a few years to go I imagine.

Interesting note though - they actually designed a whole graphics engine that purposely lowered the quality of what could be done for TS2 & especially 3. They wanted a consistent look and feel so they made a graphics model to replicate the archaic look of TS1.
