I like the commentary on Frozen Ever After: "Imaginatively and purposefully staged, this immersive journey is delivered with elegance, grace and beauty, using each twist, turn and backward falling moment to full storytelling potential."

um, do they know it is an overlay of an old attraction .... perhaps for Maelstrom things were built "purposefully"

Lol, the award is for attraction reimagining...

Interesting in that it doesn't appear to have any back or leg restraints (or any restraints really) ... so either for something that doesn't really move or, um, luck and hope? (just thinking about that due to the issues with people fitting in the restraints for Flight of Passage)

Good point. ThrillGeek seems to hint that it’s for a How to Train Your Dragon attraction.

Oh man I missed that sentence. A man who dedicated his life to themed entertainment. Glad TEA is doing that.

Didn’t even know that existed. I love that headline at the top. A cross between Indiana Jones, blade runner, and Star Wars is just setting it up for failure.

I’m glad, his version of sportscenter is probably my favorite thing other than 30 for 30 that ESPN does.
