News Round Up 2019

I was figuring they would just be the same cost as the cokes throughout the parks. How naive of me.

So .. smaller bottle (these are 12 oz bottles, not 16, right? and more expensive? I guess if you consider them souvenir bottles, the price isnt THAT bad.

I'll just call this a "win" for me as we don't drink soda and have no interest in these

And just put that money "saved" towards the overpriced drinks in the cantina

They planted a tree.

Ah yes, but it’s totally the world tree, with the underworld among its roots. The Norns must tend to it lovingly until it is big enough to house a Norse underworld themed ride.

Because the announcement will be “We’re building a 5th* gate. We have no other information because we just decided to do so Thursday morning.” *7th if counting water parks

Fixed it for you

And all of the food choices will be Hostess foods.

$15 for a twinkie

Do you think this is a response to Universal's news & Theme park wars or something else in the company (hopefully a 2D animation LOL )

Considering it’s on stage 28 I can’t see it being too big.

This Free Dining BounceBack thread contains details of the offer.

Is that the only bounce back? We're going in September and returning in December and NEXT November

That's the only one I've heard about so far. This is the time frame that the FD BB is normally offered. It used to start on/around Aug 15th but last year and this it started Aug 1 and goes to Oct 31st.

Historically the BB offer that starts after the FD BB is a room discount for select dates the following year. This thread has historical information about other, non-FD BB offers.

In the Multiverse Park each land has the exact same rides, just slightly re-dressed/redesigned.

No - there's only one ride - but 30 different version of it - and they are all spinners.

I think that park exists. It's called Six Flags

 

[skier_pete]

Other tweets show the Coke is $6 not $6.25

Oh, well that changes everything!

Maybe it's the new "Temperature based pricing" Disney is implementing. Drinks are more expensive the hotter it is outside.

In that case, all the rides are roller coasters.

But yeah, at the end of the day I don't think the name of the park will have a lot to do with the ultimate success of the park

Yeah, I really don't think a name needs to be descriptive of the park to be successful. Epcot being the most obvious. But also Six Flags over Texas (and then all the Six Flags over places that never had those six flags). Who wants to go look at a Cedar tree out on a Point? How about King's Island that has no Kings or Islands, but is named after the King's industries that were in the area.

Many of the old amusement/theme parks (including Disneyland) were just people's last names.

Edit: Just remembered the other "King's" parks that are named after King's Island.

Oh, I agree that the name doesn't affect the popularity of the park at all - but that doesn't change weather the name is good or not.

Based on that image it looks like 1.1-1.3 square miles in size. Obviously, we don't know how much of that is park, hotels, entertainment, etc...

View attachment 421967

It is a big amount of land but if this land is around where I think it is there is so much in that area ,and they said this would not be just a park it would be hotels ,entertainment,and restaurants too and the land is almost 800 arces I think but does not seem like that would be all park.Not sure they really need more shops restaurants and hotels in that area they already have a ton .

The downside of the light crowds at Disneyland, no butt in the seat to hold the seat down.

Wouldn't those be more like hidden Goofys
