Thanks. I'm a union teacher and was in a union for tv but I'd call my teachers union a union lite compared to the big guys in the trade fields. That's for the info! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dumb honest question. If RMc is not union would they be scabs or just doing their jobs? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Many unions will support and symbolically join them on there picket line. So if the RMC crew are Union they may not want to cross the CF line out of respect Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I never used Disneys old system but to say it was fair seems a bit of a stretch. You have many on here that they would run around collecting times for their group. If you couldn't run around or were new to the whole process it seems a bit unfair. At least with new FP you can book online or when in the park you can do it via mobile. The Universal system looks to be very fair though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Isn't this what everyone complained that Disney would do? The article reads that this is a positive but I remember right after Magic Bands came out everyone derided them. So no "stand by" line. I'm guessing you won't be able to swipe more tHan 1 ride at a time. I love this concept and I'm sure this will go well but unsure of how this will work in practice. No one in line means more people in other areas? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The park extends the gold pass offer for 3 more days Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And could the conveyor system make a difference? It's been a while since I looked at WWC but isn't our conveyor blades much closer together and/or has a rubber "belt" while this one looks much more spread out between bars Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Latching!!! Got it. I read it as ratcheting.... My badSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

According to an article from news.com.au (which has compiled information from several sources), this happened near the end of the ride when one raft hit an empty raft and flipped over. The article also says that the ride uses velcro straps to secure riders, rather than the latching seatbelts seen on Whitewater Canyon. http://www.news.com.au/national/queensland/at-least-four-people-injured-after-serious-dreamworld-incident/news-story/ab194466f5fd49e1e1c17e5468bbbd47 Wait I thought WWC had Velcro belts and not ratcheting?

Terp how much of the original ride (roughly) has to be moved to not need to follow current standards? Also when they move a wooden coaster how do they do it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I disagree with some of it and from someone who watches the comic book realm and its stories they miss on a few big points about the Guardians and their roles in the films. But it's an interesting take. Guardians was used because Marvel needed to get to Outer Space and it doesn't have a way to do so without Guardians. FF or Xmen would have been a more direct route but both of those franchise rights live in a different studio house that won't play ball with them. So guardians wins by default.

In fairness that stand always looked dead when I was there the last few years. Even with the Philly Steaks... Sort of an odd spot for a food stand in general... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not sure an age limit is the best solution. My mom and dad took my sister and I through haunts when we were young (7/8?) and we loved it. Not at first but we loved the adrenaline. I think you have to leave it at the parents. There are some haunts that may be appropriate and some are not. And some times a kid is great in one situation but not the other. We as parents have to know our kids but sometimes we don't know what our kids can't handle until they don't handle it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's not defunct right? Just name change? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe I'm in the minority but... I kinda dig it. My whole life I had heroes from the funny pages. And never could really be immersed. Then Spider-Man the Ride in Orlando was great. Now for this its just such a cool look for the collector. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think that's the hard part to justify but it happens. In cities the price of a burger goes up not because it got better but because many people come to that restaurant and order that burger. As with Disney the value got better each year that an increase was worth it (imo). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And isn't that the price in he restaurant or close to it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

These boards, in general, are a great example of everything right and wrong with enthusiasts and park goers. We want our nostalgia and we want new. Most times they can't work together forever. Disney spent a ton of money to upgrade the FP experience along with streamlining everything at WDW (which I absolutely loved, but I can understand while others wouldn't). But when they did that there were complaints about how nothing new was added. Prices go up on tickets and people complain about not being able to afford it. But the place is too packed or stuff costs too much money. And now the discussion of the rides leaving or being replaced. It's inevitable but will happen. One day Beast won't be at KI and one day It's A Small Word won't be at Disney. (Not commenting on one person or discussion just overall) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As for the Columbus one it looks like the franchisee is openin a different restaurant in the Hillard location. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wait what?!?!?! This could be a valid replacement for the Snake Pit. I love freshly prepared food Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A cup costs around 5 cents. So if you drink 100 drinks that's about 5$ for the whole season. Let's double the price just in case. So it's now $35 or so dollars? Costco has 20 ounce cups at 5cents each of you get a pack of 600 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I asked this question many pages back "what would be considered a success?" I think 3 seasons with increasing attendance is a success. More so if they crack the 1 million mark next year. Well done KK. More parks succeeding is a great thing. Wish someone could do the same for Americana .... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Respectfully there has not been much written on here I can agree with. I work with kids ages 4-18. The majority of kids when I ask them, they talk about Frozen and Marshmellow and Olaf. The movie has been out for almost 4 years and it's still crazy popular! EPCOT is undergoing a crazy moment for the park. It sort of makes sense where this goes. GoG may not be crazy popular but supposedly it's the gateway to a whole Marvel land. I'm not sure how this is bad. The Marvel Land will probably have Marvel Legacy characters. Disney doesn't just cater to the new and popular. Didn't they just complete an entire Fantasy Land upgrade with the 2 key parts being a Snow White roller coaster and a Beauty and The Beast restaurant. I do sort of agree with Avatar land. It could be great but man sort of weird about the choice. And to be honest Marvel knickknacks will match for sure the HP things. Light sabers, Blasters, helmets, uniforms, cantinas to eat and drink in, droids.... Not to mention the already lucrative toy side. HP is a great story but Star Wars is almost a 7 movie toy commercial Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your writings are great btw. I hope it's not VR. I love real stuff.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It really depends on the child. When I was a part-timer in there, I saw about 50/50 children that loved it and hated it. My oldest nephew would freak out every time I tried to take him through. The exhibit area is much darker than the rest of the building. Lights flicker and there are random ambient noises that can startle if not expected. The cavern area tends to be the hardest area for little kids - it's the loudest area with slamming doors. Before younger kids went in, I would tell them that they are going on a treasure hunt but it's a bit darker in there. The lights will never go off completely and you may walk by something that will make a noise...but it's only a noise, there is nothing there. You even get to wake up these large silly statues who sing songs for you! Honestly, you know your child best. If little shark can handle the dimness of Boo Blasters, Adventure should (in theory) be fine. I hope that helps! He loves Boo Blasters. I don't expect him to solve anything but it may be worth it to have him experience it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
