“Nintendo” Land (it’s actually just Mario) is also only okay at best too. Florida is getting a second ride though, right? Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 18:55 on May 31, 2023 |

Florida is getting the Yoshi ride that Japan has and also the Donkey Kong coaster. Not for nothing but I'm also a firm believer that the Poseidon's Fury area is becoming Zelda.

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:"How to Train Your Dragon" land - yes I know the movies were successful hits, but they don't have wide appeal and have been lost in the huge sea of other "acceptable" animated films. I really hate that they went through with this one. I have never been to a Universal park ever (I consider myself a blind Disney loyalist although I did go to Knott's in CA when it was independently run by the Knott family heirs) but I would go to one for HTTYD. I get the feeling you underestimate it's popularity, it does well globally and domestically it does have it's devoted hardcores, and the former is important since it can be put all over the world. I've seen a HTTYD character breakfast packing kids to a restaurant of a Macau casino before. It would be a popular addition to Singapore where they're competing with Genting and other regionals operators.

Boy, I can't wait to see such iconic locations as, um.... or buy the inventive products from its famous shops like... y'know... and go on adventures with my favorite characters, Why Is Eddie Redmayne Even In These Any More and Oh God It's Ezra Miller Again, I hope they stop Thank gently caress They Recasted Johnny Depp!

On the one hand I don't care about another Harry Potter land. On the other hand I do care about Mads Mikkelsen and would love to see a Mads Mikkelsen theme park attraction.

Here’s my big issue with a Zelda land: what’s the ride? I’m not saying it wouldn’t be cool to build Hyrule Castle but I feel like a Potter-esque screen ride wouldn’t be near as much a slam dunk as a Mario Kart ride or a DK minecart coaster

A Zelda land with a walkthrough temple attraction and a ride would be awesome. HHN shows us that they could do amazing year round walkthrough attractions if they wanted to. I’d love to see them apply that formula to a temple that simulated “solving”. As far as a ride… if they can make a simulator out of The Tonight Show then anything is possible.

There's a few leaked patent shots out there which are probably for the proposed Zelda ride, which is why I think it's coming. It would be a boat ride that at one point goes over a waterfall, but the ride system catches you and you start to fly, probably like Link's glider, and goes back to a boat ride for unload.

Upsidads posted:If any game needs to be a free wheeling meowwolf wandering experience it's Zelda and I guess myst Also if some smart guy could figure out how to scale up escape room style puzzles to theme park land size without it devolving into everyone standing in line to solve the puzzle which they know about and know the solution to because there's a line of people waiting and you can watch the guy ahead of you do it, a Zelda land would be the place to do that. Mysteries and puzzles and if you solve them all, you get to pull the Master Sword or something I don't know.

Not exactly scaled up or fancy, probably more of a side feature of a Zelda land, but maybe something like the Datapad in Galaxy's Edge where you use your device to solve puzzles and interact with the landscape

I don't know if it's been discussed in the last few days, but the details on the Disney Dining Plan came out, and I think they missed the mark on it. I'm not sure if they did it on purpose or not though. I've never been a fan of it. We used it 1 trip and I didn't like the feeling of having to "maximize value" of the DDP, and I felt like our entire vacation was planned around eating at restaurants. I know some people love it, but it's not for us. One of the biggest things I've heard is people love having everything taken care of/paid for before they get there. That's kinda true, but DDP doesn't include gratuities, so that's always been extra. Some folks like to load gift cards with the amount they would have spent on the DDP and use those for dining. Generally they have money left over, the mouse wouldn't sell something it won't make a profit on. Highlights: - No more Deluxe plan. Only Quick Service or Standard Plan available. - Only 1 snack credit per day now - Pricing has gone up considerably - plans do include specialty beverages and alcohol. Adult pricing on the standard plan is 94.28 a night. DFB has a good rundown https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/disney-dining-plan-faq/ WDW info https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/disney-dining-plan/

On our last trip we got a $504 gift card for food as part of the package deal so we did some maths based on the current menus and what we'd previously eaten and though it'd probably last us maybe ten days. We booked a few sit-down places because I'm slightly less picky now than I used to be and having the menus in front of me helped find places I could eat ahead of time and that card was gone by the end of day six. After that it was back to burgers whenever, or pizza at the hotel food counter if we weren't hungry in the parks.

Zero One posted:I met a guy last week who I could have asked. He's a Coordinator for Rise and might know. Too bad you didn't ask a few days ago. Not sure when I'll see him next. But if I remember I'll try to find out. Following up on this. My coordinator friend confirmed that the voices are controlled by hand gestures with the gloves. He also said that each gesture will give a few different line readings so there are less chances guests will hear them say the same thing twice. Also, each costume has slightly different lines too. That way you won't hear the Stormtroopers repeating each other.

I ask because my upcoming trip is under that promo too. The website says you get an email with the card once you check in. Did you have any problems getting card or using it?

It was back in 2022, but we booked sometime in 2021. It was basically attached to the MDE app and we just showed them a barcode when we were ready to pay. We had to go to Disney Springs to get the generic $200 gift card though. Of course since we were there we instantly spent it anyway  CapnAndy posted:The really nice thing about WDW is that not only are all the menus online, but they've got their prices listed. You can go through all the restaurants, say "oh this one looks nice", and then be able to actually take it steps further and figure out both if there's anything on the menu you'd like to eat, and what it'll cost. Pretty great to get the "like gently caress I'm paying $40 for that" conversation out of the way before you ever make the reservation.

Aphrodite posted:The Mario Kart ride is a screen ride. Yeah but it works because you’re in a vehicle and Mario Kart is all about driving, it’s very easy to match those concepts. Same with like, the Potter rides and Avatar, where both took an iconic form of motion and made it work. Zelda is exploration first and its most iconic form of motion is a horse. if you could get a ride that simulate horse-riding that might be dope. Alternately they could go full TotK and have people design their own vehicles like Test Track SweetMercifulCrap! posted:A Zelda land with a walkthrough temple attraction and a ride would be awesome. HHN shows us that they could do amazing year round walkthrough attractions if they wanted to. I’d love to see them apply that formula to a temple that simulated “solving”. Any ride where Jimmy Fallon is involved is doomed from conception so that’s a bad comparison. Edit: CapnAndy posted:Yeah, that'd be neat too.
