News Round Up 2018

I challenge anybody to try and "time" anything with Test track.

Late, but this part is easy - an on ride photo is triggered immediately preceding the noise every time. Photo click, meteor fly by.

TIME Magazine Recognizes Pandora - The World of Avatar as Best of the Best

That's great. It got some pretty negative responses when first announced. Its become a huge success. Just grabbed FoP for end of Oct but was still a struggle.

I still hope they improve the bio lighting at night though.

Cameras actually make it look better than when really there, but still amazing, esp in the day IMO.

The land is good, but I agree on the lighting. It's pitch black in some areas. If it looked as good as the pictures, it would be amazing.

Interesting list. My only evac is the one on the bottom of the list, SSE.

Surprised at that list. POTC is 50 years old, you think they would have figured that one out..... (or is it because it's 50 years old?)

That's the only one I want to get evacuated from, especially at the top so I can see what's still up there.

I got evacuated on the descent. I was kind of mad about that. Still cool to see though.

Interesting list. My only evac is the one on the bottom of the list, SSE.

My list is pretty long, all three Space titled rides, tower of terror, seven dwarves, Pooh, toy story mania, Star Tours, test track, figment, Haunted Mansion, little mermaid, pirates, thunder, splash, small world, buzz, carousel of progress, people mover, Great Movie Ride, Universe of energy, it goes on some more.

My two favorite evacuations were for Pooh because I got some great pictures, and for Tower of Terror because I got to walk around and see the mechanics.

That's an interesting statistic. The only rides I have ever been evacuated off didn't make this list. One is not open anymore and the other still is.

Those rides are...

1. Tower of Terror (BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! )
2. Great Movie Ride

Makes me wonder if Pho is taking flash bulb pictures on the rides ?????

Wow...do people still ride rides with you? Just joking. That is one long list, though, and I wouldn't have expected some of them, like CoP.

I've been evacuated off IASW. Listened to 30 minutes of that song, and then they evacuated us. My mom refused to ride that ride the rest of the trip. I think I was like ten or so.

Well it's a lot but it's also over the course of 28 years with a lot trips. Some may consider it bad luck, but to me it's a new way to see the rides, I kind of enjoy them depending on which ride. Breakdowns also mean lots of extra free fastpasses. What I really want is a Dinosaur evacuation, but no luck yet.

Remind me never to go to the park with you.
