I feel like this is nothing new.

I don't think Disney ever announced the Railroad making a left hand turn. Also, it was great to hear that they are retuning to having waterfalls that are influenced by the waterfalls Disneyland used to have along their Rivers of America. Also, a new Shaman is something new.

I guess, I feel like we already knew it was making that turn from aerial images and other things we already knew. I think the waterfalls were in the concept art too so that doesn't seem new either.

I don't think a video could possibly do Ratatouille justice. I didn't understand how it could be as good as it was hyped to be until I rode it. The ride completely blew me away.

I found it kind of disorienting, though it certainly didn't help that at one screen half of the video was frozen. I can't say I was a huge fan of just driving from screen to screen

As someone who grew up around Disneyland, I didn't remember waterfalls along the Rivers of America, so I feel like it was great to read the influence behind having waterfalls on the Rivers of America again. I also went back to a video the DIS did of the Rivers of America last year, and I have noticed the Shaman is dressed differently now.

I don't recall hearing about the Shamen before

You got me excited. I understand why they don't, but i wish they would keep these offerings past just the first weekend so I could get in limitless rides on Everest in the dark.

Disney is really on a shaman high. Pandora and rivers of light both have shamans.

I saw the article on this that Charles wrote for the DIS - sort of seems like they are hoping that he won't make time to come and do the recording so they can say "not our fault"

Yeah, that seems just a little too convenient.

Len Testa says Disney is looking for excuses for that even so they could extend the refurb.

 

[SG131]

Then what do they do for cast member punishment? LOL

Make them ride it!

Weenies.

Yeah - I honestly think they aren't sure what to do because no matter what you do a group of people will be upset - so they are looking for a third option / pass the buck

I'm guessing they shorten the show and use that as the main excuse. Honestly, a portion of this issue is coming up every time we have a new president. I'm sure they are looking to escape the cycle. And the extreme division over DT's presidency is as good an excuse as they are going to get. Especially if he, or his administration, is not making it easy to make it happen.

I'm sorry but there are still just 2 options. Either they stay consistent with prior years or they don't.

Well, looks like they are leading towards changing it but having an excuse for why when people complain

They've only done the last 3 Presidents. Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush weren't recorded. More haven't than have since opening. I don't think it's a big deal if they stop to avoid the hassle. As it is I've heard people boo all 3 of the recorded Presidents at various times. Might be better just to give it a rest.
