    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker discussion thread (*** now contains spoilers ***)

    I enjoyed (but not really loved) all three movies. What probably prevented me from really loving these was just my own expectations. From the time this photo was released in the early production of The Force Awakens, I was imagining I would see the continuing adventures of Han, Luke and Leia...

    (from memory because I don't have the Roku in front of me) From home, it should be under Settings>Display Type. From there, you can change to lower resolutions, but I'm not positive it will have a major effect on the amount of data transferred. I will make some difference, I just don't expect it...

    When I went to download the app on my Android phone in the wee hours of November 12th, I noticed there were dozens of reviews already, from weeks back - apparently from people that got to beta test it.

    The Roku Streaming Stick Plus can display 4k content. I don't think I've ever been more pleased with a purchase of technology than the $50 I spent on mine. It plugs into your HDMI port on your TV and connects to your home network wirelessly. There is also a power cable that could either plug...

    Count me as one of the people surprised the App is isn't available to download, yet. You could fill this website with things I've been wrong about, but it seems like they're only asking for trouble by having millions of people downloading the app and logging in for the first time all together...

    Epcot Construction Update Thread

    Wow. It will really be like a whole new place, next time I go. I'm not complaining. I look forward to it, but still will miss the old version of Epcot a little bit.

    This week's episode - comments disabled, no discussion?

    My premise is that, whether or not these are possible, they are not *practical*. The one example people have cited in London, does not provide a comfortable climate - based on actual users' opinion. "Practical" would take in to account several factors, like size, weight, reliability and cost...

    Disney Skyliner (Gondola Transportation System) Read Post 1 Now Open!

    That article is far from conclusive on how this would function. High charging rate, would be accompanied by faster-than-a-battery discharging rate. There's a reason capacitors aren't used in place of batteries everywhere. When following one of the links in the article, it states that these are...

    Even if it's not possible keep a gondola from ever getting stuck, there has to be a way to prevent the rest of the gondolas from crashing into the stuck one.

    Are you saying that image of the Skyliner, below the Epcot and DHS label, switches back-and-forth to the bus arrival time?

    I haven't noticed any drink-holders in the photos of the gondolas.... :D

    What is going on with Disney parks?

    When it comes to Star Wars Land, speaking for myself, there are only 2 things that are keeping me away: 1) fear of the large opening crowds. 2) the land isn't fully opened yet. This next thing is something I've harped on, but it shouldn't have affected the early crowd - however I think it does...

    Disney Skyliner (Gondola Transportation System) Read Post 1 Now Open!

    With the pending opening of the Skyliner, I assume this thread will soon either be moved or closed. This will be bittersweet for me because I'll be happy the Skyliner is open, but this thread has been my favorite of the last couple years. So, before it's gone, I just wanted to say thanks to...

    I picture that it will be similar to how an escalator handles a big crowd. This happens at modern sports stadiums that have them. When there's a rush, you can't just walk up to the escalator, but you are constantly moving towards the escalator and your time to the escalator is under a minute...

    The spreadsheet accounts for 5 minutes of transfer time from one line to the next. Is that enough? Like you said, we won't know until we see these in action.

    Without accounting for the viewer's distance from the screen, comparing those dimensions is meaningless.

    My eyeballs would most likely pop entirely out of my head, if this happened. In fact, I'll be shocked if it's not double what at moderate costs.
