News Round Up

This is a great add. This shows that imagineering still does good work especially with animatronics.

Indeed, personnally one of the main reasons I'm excited to see Avatar open is the new figures. They're supposed to be amazing.

With news a week or so ago that they hired a robots expert and with projection mapping I have high hopes on avatar animatronics especially after Cameron continuing to say these animatronics are next level type stuff.

I'm really hoping Avatarland blows people away and sends visitors in droves to AK. The board members need to be reminded that innovation can be highly profitable.

Behind the scenes of the hatbox ghost

Well, that answered one burning question, he is one of the ORIGINAL 999 ghosts, not the 1000th! Evidently, we have been lied to all these years, there had only been 998 ghosts, so there was room for 2 MORE, not one more!

He's been there all along. He's just been hiding.

Perhaps because everything surrounding the "prequels" movies...including the dumb, unfinished Jango Fett nonsense....

Is a rotting carcass that Disney has shown every intention of shining as little light on as possible?

fair. i still find it a far more compelling storyline. if theres any nonsense in his character, its the idea that boba fett even existed. corny as hell imo

Agreed...

What they managed to do was take a cult/fan favorite character that was completley mysterious and write the worlds dumbest, poorly thought out backstory to it...

I use the term "write" loosely.

It would be like them doing a movie where Bruce Wayne is really the Joker's love child with Commissioner Gordon's wife

The article indicates that there will be interactive elements similar to what people experience in Trader Sam's Grog Grotto.

I'm hopeful because I really like the way trader sams looks.

Don't give DC any ideas. They're desperate for more movies to catch up to marvels cash cow.

Looks like Disney is doing a pretty good job sprucing up Downtown Disney.
