I can’t believe how disappointed I am in Super Nintendo World at Epic Universe. It’s the most popular area in the park, crowded with families… and Universal put the park’s two lowest-capacity rides in it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Now THIS is a step in the right direction for Hollywood Studios, a park meant to celebrate the art of making movies. I'm already excited to see this.

Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank, California, is a place of pure magic – artists go in… beloved characters and films come out. Now, imagine stepping inside those iconic walls and seeing Disney...

Stephen Colbert is a profoundly good and deeply talented man with a great staff and an excellent show. They all deserve better.

I almost grabbed a pic of Papa Gino's. ALMOST.

That pizza is far more nostalgic to me than a lobster roll. 🍕

This looks to be the reimagined scene that was once the brake test in Test Track 1.0 / OnStar in TT 2.0.

I wonder if this means we get two "near-miss" scenes in TT 3.0. No word yet on whether the semi truck in the tunnel survived the refurb.

Boardwalk Times @boardwalktimes.bsky.social · Jun 16

Walt Disney Imagineering has shared a behind-the-scenes look at a new scene in TEST TRACK that shows how vehicles see the world around them with advanced cameras and sensors. 🚗

Walt Disney Imagineers were able to represent this tech utilizing over 29,000 points of light. 💡

"In World Discovery, a new comedic street show is now touring under the fictional “Florida Artificial Intelligence Laboratories,” or FAIL for short. The stars of the act are Miss Information, an act playing an advanced walk-around animatronic and her human lab assistant, Al Gorithm."

I love this.

It’s like losing a member of your family.

Something so close and special to your heart.

No matter what comes next, it just hurts.

Recent projects like this and the Haunted Mansion Parlor on DCL tell me that Disney really liked all the guest feedback from Trader Sam's.

NEW: The Pirates tavern has an official name: The Beak and Barrel. It opens later this year in Adventureland at Magic Kingdom Park.

Man. I've been thinking about, but if there was any property, franchise, whatever the heck, to be a kind of pure embodiment of the spirit of the Disney MGM Studios, it is The Muppets. All about putting on a show and the full wonder of the magic of show business.

Henry Taylor @tgrahammemories.bsky.social · May 5

One last time in Stage 1– aka Muppet Stuff. Doubtful it will be guest accessible again before demolition.

I think about this game all the time! I had it on PC and Game Boy Color. On the latter, hearing 8-bit theme park music was surreal.

Yeah, I still like Vinylmation.
Deal with it.

Yes. Yes I did. 🍔

To be fair, Magic Kingdom’s ride was jury-rigged onto 50+ year old ride system hardware and was genuinely a first of its kind.

As the story goes, WDI expected the spin to be the gimmick, not the guns (hence why later versions are called Astro Blasters with handheld guns) so this is overdue!

That said, this is going to be a nice upgrade. I'm excited for the new handheld blasters!

OF COURSE, this happens mere months after my first time earning Galactic Hero. Time to relearn everything I taught myself, I guess 🙃
