News Round Up 2017

[Tigger's ally]

I’m convinced most people celebrate Christmas because it gives people something to look forward to and celebrate in the miserable dead of winter

while I tend to agree, I often wonder why there isn't a holiday, party or parade scheduled in the "even more miserable dead of late January/early February"!

I like this change a lot. I would def ride the classic 1-6 path first.

There is ... it's called "The Superbowl"

Certainly makes sense - though sad to see yet another original thing form the park go away

That's cool - and definitely makes sense with the issue of timelines getting messed up ... and opens up the possibility for even more scense from the new trilogy to be added

Wonder how they will do it - if it will be some theaters are set for Ep I - VI and some for Ep VII - IX and you pick what line you get in?

I'd like it even better if they separated out the prequels. I'd never go to Naboo again.

Cast Member: "Sir, what line would you like to go in?"

Me: "The shortest."

That is partly what I was wondering, was will they adjsut and have more theaters for one if that seems to be more popular - or will you get that situation where people can just pick the shorter of the lines vs which option the *really* want

BTW - if this is popular I would also welcome something like this coming to Soarin' where you could pick seeing the "around the world" or the "over California" versions

I bet this is what they do - there is already a place where some guests are sent to the left and other to the right and even before that you can choose to get in the left side of the wait-line or the right side of the wait line (around where the FP+ people merge in with the standby line...so it would probably be easy for them to incorporate this. Go to the left for EP I-VI and to the right for EP VII-IX, etc.

I think that could work - and probably would have to be there as I can't imagine 2 separate standby PLUS 2 Separate FP+ lines ... so having you "pick" after the standby and FP+ lines merge makes sense

This is awesome. I really like the ride, but the instance with the pod racers makes me puke, or feel poorly every time. The other encounters don't bother me. It'd be awesome to be able to select against that

Let's face it: that's what everyone wants...but they have to sell the flank steak with the filet

I like how you put that ... and playing it forward even more:

CM: which path would you choice

Me: I am actively choosing against the prequels

CM: Excellent sir, get in that very long line of similarly minded people
