Marathon Weekend 2020

[Barca33Runner]

I don't necessarily hate it, but it just really, really bothers me that it's out of order. Opening with Be Our Guest instead of Belle just irritates me. That and the beast's growl sounding like a 5 year old kid trying to sound like a lion.

I'd have no problem if they replaced it with something better and no argument that they could do better if they were interested in making a change. I had just heard a lot of hate for it recently and it kind of surprised me. Maybe the vitriol I've heard was more anecdotal to my own experience than it was to the actual general perception of the attraction.

I wonder if they will replace it when they open the Sing Along attraction in EPCOT. They used to have a really good Hunchback of Notre Dame show at the Studios. Hercules and Tangled would be good there. Disney really doesn't have a shortage of possibilities.

. I really liked the Jeremy Irons version of SSE. I rode the Cronkite version but I don’t remember it.

There’s also shark reef at typhoon lagoon.

The two things I wish I could have tried are:
surfing at the Polynesian with the wave machine
Snorkeling with fish in storm along bay.

Suggestion...how about a dead attractions one at some point? That would fill out SAFD for a few weeks.

I’m jumping the gun and going all in on River Country, with Discovery Island(where I got crapped on by a bird) a close second.

.
I never got to visit discovery island. I like looking around it when we rent pontoon boats.

Ill have to leave out Mr. Toad since I am going to ride it in September.

Yeah I wasn’t sure if we should exclude stuff that’s still available at other parks.

Good ones! Here are some others:


I was kind of surprised at some of my votes, I guess I'm more of a traditionalist than even I thought - Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Small World, Peoplemover. Tower is my favorite, so that was fairly easy, even over Thunder Mountain. The tough one for me is Everest vs RNR. I've already changed my vote a few times on that. Right now it's Everest, the unique design and going backwards has me overlooking that the Yeti doesn't work.

RNRR is good but I think Everest is a more unique coaster.

But then again I feel like I would have to leave out 20k leagues even though the submarine voyage exists at DL and I’m not sure I want to do that, so Mr Toad will stay in the hypothetical bracket because he should have stayed at MK.

Speaking of defunct WDW.

 

[steph0808]

1. The Beauty and the Beast show is always on my list to see at DHS. I love the show.
2. Tower of Terror vs. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad?
3. Toy Story Mania vs Slinky Dog Dash?
4. Are you people sadists?!

I thought that was established long ago.

But the submarine voyage at DL isn't 20,000 Leagues themed anymore, its a Nemo ride (Finding not Captain) . Tokyo Disneyland still has a 20,000 leagues ride, but the ride technology isn't quite the same. DL Paris has a Nautilus themed walkthrough.

SAFD: these are getting difficult! My choice process has turned into this: "If all of these were lined up right next to each other, with a zero minute wait, which ones would I run to first?"

I can't wait until we have a bracket thing for WDW food. I would be ALL OVER that one.

"If all of these were lined up right next to each other, with a zero minute wait, which ones would I run to first?"

This strategy doesn’t work for me because my preconceived notions and my mind immediately shifting to economy of time spent. I would almost certainly choose FoP in that context because it is normally the longest wait. It’s the same when I’m setting up FP+. I’ve gotten better at using them on my favorite rides, but I am still influenced heavily by my desire to maximize time saved waiting in line with my FP+.

This isn’t to criticize your methodology, merely more proof to myself that I am a crazy person.

I actually had the same line of though. I tried to base it more on standard wait time for that attraction. Given a 0 wait time for PeopleMover and any attraction with a typically long wait I would almost always select the option that would normally have a long wait time. I tried to think about a typical trip, if I didn't have any fastpasses and was going to wake up in the morning and go stand in the typical standby line for an attraction which would I choose.

Oh god. I can’t even imagine how to pull that off. You mean actual menu items?

I could see doing a tournament of restaurants some time...

A bracket of just snacks

or drinks...

Restaurants, yes. Snacks, yes. I'm here for any and all discussions of food

 

[steph0808]

I based my bracket selections on "If I only had time to ride one thing, which one of these rides would I choose?"

Didn't they use that theater for the music of Pixar live show? I remember hearing really good things about that, but we never got to experience it.

The submarine voyage at DL was not 20k leagues themed?
