I've been to 30 Rock numerous times and on the NBC Studio tour and seen the Tonight Show taping. That queue looks great and just like you are in NYC! They really did do a great job!!

Now if only people were saying the same about the ride.

Going next Wednesday. Maybe I'll be selected as a lucky person to experience it and report back

The future of theme park entertainment - eliminate the ride completely, and have people pay just for the line! Genius!

That was at Boulder Ridge (the original Villas at Wilderness Lodge)... Copper Creek are the new villas in the south wing of the main lodge and those studios are going to only sleep 4, which I find rather odd...

That is odd. I guess it goes to show how confusing the distinction will be with two different and separate DVCs at one resort.

Usually I'd agree with your sarcasm but Universal is hitting on all cylinders with it's queues ahahaha. In all seriousness, Forbidden Journey has a queue that I would queue up for. But I'm a huge Harry Potter fan.

King Kong's queue was fun too, and I enjoyed that ride as well (though I know others did not).

I was there in November. I saw people in line just for the sights and sounds of the queue. I couldn't figure out why people had their under-height kids in the line until we got to the front of the line and they just left.

Agree - though the King Kong queue was so intense that our DD13 wouldn't go on the ride. (I also thought the ride was great - all the screen rides got tiresome after awhile but the way they used immersion in Kong I thought it was one of our favorites.

Uh... I'm going to argue that and probably chop it up to a poorly worded headline. It's maybe a first for Disney, but definitely not a first among other shows out there.

That could be. I don't watch animated TV shows really so I didn't know for sure.

The former WL pool bar is being replaced "Salon by the Springs"

That could be. I don't watch animated TV shows really so I didn't know for sure.

One of the main characters in Steven Universe is a lesbian couple who love each-other so much they fused into one person, with them and several other female characters shown kissing each other. The show's been censored at least a few times in Europe and other territories. Also, wasn't there a gay kiss in Gravity Falls? Since in the last episode the two cops get together? Maybe they just declare their love for each other and that's it.

For those of you who have seen or been on the Jimmy Fallon ride (ugh that sounds bad), I had assumed it was like soarin? Is it not?

I don't want to watch anything and be spoiled.

Actually people have been saying its like Despicable Me not Soarin.

Whoever is in charge of planning the WL upgrades has plainly lost their minds...In my opinion.
I guess they are considering Geyser Point as the poolside bar now, but that is a very odd location for a salon...

I'd put it somewhere in between soarin' and minions, it's large one piece like soarin (not multiple pieces like minions), and the screen is definitely larger than minions also. The theater itself looks like the actual tonight show studio (which comes across as semi plain toward the back, but everything is almost crazy meticulously authentic)
