Authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese Shanghai Disneyland

I think Kong looks like a motion sickness nightmare. They can't have the tram video running like the tram is falling off the cliff and swinging on vines while it just sits there and rocks a bit. Reminds me of the polar express at SW--- they show a video of a leaf floating in the air meanwhile the ride is simulating the movements of the floating leaf you are looking at....terrible.

And if Disney made an animatronic head they would get ripped for it.

I'm with you. With all the buildup and excitement, that looked really disappointing. I don't want to knock it too much without more videos and riding it, but I feel pretty let down by what I watched. Not sure what I was expecting, but I know a bunch of screens wasn't it.

I leave it to your imagination Besides I'm a lady

I would cry if paint the night came to WDW. I have been waiting FOREVER to see it and I can't afford to go to California just yet, so this would be perfect!!

Ahhh, but would you lose your ________?

It's pretty funny because it's only been in DLR for just over a year and even the HK version under two years. Seems like a lot less than forever.

I have a hard time believing this rumor is true for the reason that it is so new to DLR. I still say our best hope is that they just decide to replace MSEP because it's old enough to run for president. (Though I would vote for it before our two current candidates.)

Oh no..we're doing WDW this fall and DL next year...if this is true I will effectively be missing PTN on my next two trips...

Ditto on that! Heading to WDW in August then to DLR in December! I hope I don't miss them both!

Oh god, that ride is HORRIBLE. Even the regular non-holiday version is vomit-inducing. It needs a bulldozer.

Rumor

MSEP leaves MK late this year for Paint the Night, MSEP goes to Disneyland then.

Frozen Ever After soft opens might start the 17th of June.

Is there a dedicated thread I could follow to see about the soft opening before the 21st?

I remember back when I lost my _______. A very troubling time in my life--- luckily with the help from a social worker and a small regime of kinkajou's, I was able to locate it. It was in my sock drawer.

I would be happy to drive it....

Not to be totally one sided, I will say the Kong cue looks very good.

There is the everything frozen thread on the theme parks board. I'll post soft opening news here as well.

The Norway waterfall is back!

The water flow looks a little slower but if the sword in the waterfall is still there that would make it easier to see.

Please keep Orlando in your thoughts today. As you've all probably heard at some point, there was a mass shooting at an LGBT+ club in the area which MANY Cast and Team Members as well as locals and visitors attend regularly.

Yup-- My daughters in orlando are ok and all of their immediate friends are accounted for... so tragic for so many.

Also, for any of you who live locally they are in urgent need of blood donations. Please contact your local blood bank if you are willing and able.
