News Round Up 2019

[only hope]

Agree to disagree. Compared to rides like Peter Pan, Pooh, Little Mermaid, Rise of the Resistance...the story is loose and not the main point of the attraction. The drops are. There’s not a single anamatronic and the only dialogue is from the narrator.

Since when do you need an AA to tell a story? Flight of Passage has a story yet doesn’t have an AA. ToT has some of the most story out of any attraction Disney has.

Wow, that's gotta be the first time I've heard someone say ToT didn't have a story. It's one of the best developed story-rides in all the parks.

I like the RIV one.

Isn't the Navi in the lab queue an AA or is it a projection/else? Agree that ToT is among the best story ever developed for an attraction.

It could totally be me but the GF one reminds me of sweet Richard Gerth who was a greeter there for over 30 years. I think it's the hat Mickey is wearing that does it for me.

I guess you could count that. I was thinking pre-show to attraction.

I get what you are saying.

I guess in my mind I separate as "classic" dark rides like Snow White, Mr. Toad, Haunted Mansion, Little Mermaid, Alice in Wonderland, etc. and "modern" dark rides - ToT, RoTR and etc.

I got one a couple months ago and got a great rate on a water view at Gran Destino for this coming May! Unfortunately I don't think you can transfer pin codes.

These are non-transferable. Too bad as those are great prices!!

I’d use that if I could. That’s really good.

I got that same offer. Unfortunately I'm not planning on activating my APs until November.

Get a preview of Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway during tonight's Disney Channel Holiday Special

I definitely think there are subcategories under the "dark ride" umbrella. As long as you are being physically moved through a space and your view is being directed to show elements designed to tell a story I think it qualifies in the most broadest sense

I saw that but wasn't sure if that was the entire thing of what they will show or just a teaser for it. Either way, still cool!
