RIP Tony's Ability to teleport on to the 2nd row on California Screaming when ever he snaps his fingers
2011-2017
He could do it on the incredicoaster.
@@Dimensioneer88 wrong super hero movie.
RIP Captain Actually, 2018-2018.
And welcome back “Cardiac Arrest” joke, 2011 - the end of time
Rose Weldon Captain Actually: I was born and died in 2018.
Take a shot everytime he says "They had nothing to replace it with"
You want alcohol poisoning, Because that's how you get alcohol poisoning.
I really wish I could play drinking games like that. If only I wasn't deadly, allergic to alcohol. :(
But I like my liver
T H E Y 👏 H A D 👏 N O T H I N G👏 TO 👏 R E P L A C E 👏 I T 👏 W I T H 👏
I like how you are turning your State of the Parks from less of a blog to a diet version of the full show. Good for you.
Quite a few things I wanted to comment on:
-Man, you tapped my nostalgia hard with two of those promo video intros: the 2005 DisneyWorld DVD (which you used for Disney Quest) was one I had as a kid and one I still play with my little sister as a fun tradition when we get excited for a trip (the characters are goofy, but at least they stick out in my mind, Dave in particular). Then the mid-90s DisneyWorld VHS (which you used for Ellen's Energy Adventure) was one I had found in a GoodWill back when I still had a VHS player, and it was fun seeing all the differences in what was available (plus, on the particular year I got, it had this lengthy promo for the Disney Institute that's really funny to look back on because, wow, they _really_ were trying hard to make it work).
-Yeah, Disney Quest had a big problem with being relevant; the original stuff that held up were more traditional rides like the Cyber Astro Blasters (or whatever they were called), which were basically bumper cars with foam-ball cannons, and the stuff that satisfied thrills like Cyber Space Mountain (though my chicken self still only made a 2/5 intensity coaster for my final visit). The VR rides like Pirates, Jungle Cruise, and Aladdin were...iffy; the texture quality was stuck in the 90s with nary an update, and the controls were sometimes a tad bunk: Jungle Cruise tried to simulate rowing a boat, but the feedback was a little ambiguous to whether you really had that much influence, and Aladdin had a weird motorcycle-ish system for moving on the carpet that led to quite a few sessions where one of my party would get stuck on a wall or mistime a jump to fall to their in-game doom. The place as a whole suffered from a lack of love: after little more than a decade, one of the more thrilling attractions, one where you donned a virtual sword and sliced at bad guys in an on-rails VR adventure, was closed, and by the end, an ExtraTERRORestrial themed tank simulation closed-room experience was also shuttered, rendering a whole floor of the building half-obsolete. What kept the place going by the end were modern arcade games; I recall in particular the hub room of the building having Temple Run prominently displayed, and one of the most common places I'd hit was the rhythm game section which had modern versions of DDR and Pump it Up for me to work out to. There was also an attempt to bring some more first-party stuff to the place once Wreck It Ralph gave a gimme, and while the Fix it Felix Jr. machines were kinda cool, it was too little, too late. Sad to have seen it go, but the writing was on the wall for more than half a decade.
-There were B.E.N. meet-and-greet characters? I don't suppose there's some Bowler Hat Guy or Maggie ones too that I just assumed didn't exist because the movies did squat? _Goes to check_. Oh, there was a whole set for Meet the Robinsons and while Home on the Range didn't get a meet and greet per se, there was the refitted Frontierland barn and a parade character for Maggie. I probably shouldn't have bet against cross-promotion opportunities.
-Cinemagique looked amazing, and it's a shame it had to go, but at the very least, since it was a 2D print it was easy for it to have been "documented" in good-enough quality, as opposed to the finangling it's taken for things like Magic Journeys or Honey I Shrunk the Audience, where the various 3D->2D conversions can lead to strobe-y effects, frame dips, or other such issues.
This episode/vlog was really fun, loved the gags this time around!
P.S. More like "who care-ousels", amirite? _Gets pelted by tomatoes_
I remember seeing Cinemagique in 2004 so I must've been 9 or 10 years old (Studios Paris was much better at that point as an indoor launch coaster and a flying Magic Carpet ride had been opened). Now my Dad was already having a really shitty day and had no patience for ANYTHING, so when the mobile/cell phone starts ringing as part of the film he jumps from his seat and screams "OH FOR GODS SAKE!" before my Mum drags him back into his seat and points out the actor climbing on stage. She then ordered my little brother and I not to laugh at my Dad until he wasn't around, so we held it in, for 6 hours. We were ready to die laughing when we were finally left alone in our room in what was Santa Fe Hotel (now a Cars hotel I believe).
Madison Davies haha! Good times! Good times!
Y'know what, I bet his "OH FOR GOD'S SAKE!" made the show even better.
Tony Goldmark It certainly did for us but I don't know who else! We went in early Feburary and I swear down we were the only Britons on park.
And as a side note, it’s still the Hotel Santa Fe, only it’s been given a presence of characters from CARS.
Madison Davies I mean Cinemagique is basically the longest “please turn off your cellphone” PSA
That cardiac arrest joke will NEVER get old!
I'll always love the cardiac arrest running joke. The casual realization is what really makes it for me
Actually... it's "The Ellen Degeneres Show"
"The Ellen Show" was her other sitcom in the 2000s that only ran for one season.
For me, California Screamin' was the first roller coaster that broke my fear of roller coasters, so it was easily one of the most nostalgic rides in California. It marked a point in my life where I stopped worrying about how scary something might be and started opening up to a whole world of thrilling experiences I still enjoy to this day. I'll certainly miss that one. Here's hoping the replacement can carry the torch just as well, if not better.
For me, it was the realization of just how many legal hurdles Disney has to leap through to make sure every ride is safe.
16:34 ooh man, cinémagique is so nostalgic to me. I rode it so many times, trying my best identify as many films as I could. Even to this day, when I recognize a scene in a movie that I saw there first, I feel something.
That ending with #1 caught me off guard. That and Tower of Terror were the only rides on this list that I honestly cared about when it closed. I know Incredicoaster will be fun, but what you stated about CS's existence being justified really got to me. Disney is losing its simplicity. Every ride and attraction has to be immersive and action packed. There's no room for a shot of adrenaline or a sweet moment, everything has to be crazy and in your face.
Rest in Peace California Screamin' ☹️
WHAAAAAAAAT THEY GOT RID OF CALIFORNIA SCREAMIN THIS IS AN OUTRAGoh Incredibles, I love that movie!
Wait? Cinemagique closed? Damn. I've been to Disneyland Paris so much (in fact, it's the only Disney park I've visited, as it is the closest to Belgium) that I am a big fan of this movie. What a shame.
I have seen Cinemagique multiple times and I always liked it.
We’re getting a Jessie ride? A ride based on my favorite character ever (don’t judge)? I DON’T CARE IF ITS JUST A CAROUSEL IM SO HAPPY! :D
T2-3D closed?! In Florida?! I know it previously closed in Hollywood, but FLORIDA?! Then good thing I got a chance to experience it for the very first and ONLY time just the year before, and I was absolutely INSPIRED by all the technology involved in it! I declared to myself with a straight face "Why aren't there more attractions like it?!?" To me, it was a hybrid attraction combining multi-screen 3D (even though the 3D was broken when I went on it), stunt show, animatronics, and 4D effects!
I believe some older 3D systems used two projectors to achieve the effect (each one using a different filter.)
That would be in contrast to the systems in use at your local cinema, which can project both through means of a special lens.
I don't quite remember exactly what happened, but what I mean is that either the glasses we were offered weren't very effective, or the projectors were out of line and produced unsatisfactory results on the glasses.
That's not what I meant by "Multi-screen 3D". I meant you get three equally large screens which together emulate the feeling of a curved screen and fill just less than 180 degrees of viewing, and each one was in 3D!
I got to experience T2 in Hollywood back in 2008. Truly a lost masterpiece. It's a shame Universal in Singapore didn't get the it's own version.
As a gamer, trust me. Disney Quest was still a big meh. I went to Disney Quest once. And only once. The vr games were so terrible and had such bad effects that I threw up on two of them. The only thing worth its salt were the retro arcade games.
I second that. Hell, I remember going there as a kid and thought the games sucked.
I'm sad I can't go back and finish what I started on the pod racing game
The retro games themselves would've been an attraction in and of themselves now that Starcade is gone.
I went there about ten years ago. It was a nifty time capsule of what LBE (Location Based Entertainment) was capable of in the mid-late 90s, and since I'm a total nerd for that stuff I enjoyed it. But it also makes sense to me how that market wouldn't justify the place's continued existence.
I wonder if they had come out with it in the past five years or so if it would have done better considering how much the technology has improved.

13:03 The Great Movie Ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
13:27 The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at DCA

17:50 T2 3-D at Universal Studios Florida 😢
20:50 California Screamin’ at DCA
Soon you'll only be able to be California Dreamin about California Screamin.
I’ve heard rumors that T2 will be replaced by a 3D show based on Sing. Ain’t that sweet? T2 being replaced by another mediocre Illumination project?
Brendan Milburn What’s wrong? You don’t want a show based on a string of inspirational clichés stitched together into a movie with Reese Witherspoon trying to outdo Russell Crowe in the “holy-shit-stick-to-acting-for-the-love-of-God” singing department?
I heard it was going to be a live show 🤔
Shoulderpads-mcgee It could be similar to MuppetVision 3D. Half 3D, half live. They also said it was a Universal property so I can’t imagine it being Star Trek.
F. N. Lorter hmmmm I like muppetvision but I wish universal would drop illumination already. Do they still work with dreamworks?
Shoulderpads-mcgee Illumination movies are cheap to make and they make a shit load of money. No matter how low quality they are, it’s a golden goose.
That Neil Degrasse Tyson counterpoint was great.
The thig that sucks about T2 closing, and I realize that this is really just a personal thing, is that I deiberately decided not to go on it a couple of years ago, during my first visit to Universal Studios, under the logic that I should "Save some of the fun for next time".
Lesson learned, I guess; when you're dealing with Universal Studios, don't count on anything to even still be there 'next time'. And also, don't take advice from Muppe- wait, hold on, Ellen DeGeneres is SIXTY?!
RIP CAPTAIN ACTUALLY 2018 - 2018
Due to the earring, I'm just imagining "Ear-Keys" as the guitarist at the end.
Episode spoilers...
To those who, however well intentionally, keep asking about season 4, a thought occurs to me.
Seeing him work in the CAPTAIN ACTUALLY skit, and the thing about needing to replace stuff....these are the kind of skits we get in when he does the episodes physically in the parks. Perhaps we should think of State Of The Parks itself as being season 4, like how Kyle and Lidnsey changed the format of their shows.
Frankly, it seems like it would be less taxing, in all senses of the word, to do it this way. I have NO idea what goes into the making of your show Tony, nor what you wish to do in the future. But let me just say, if you find this a better format....then that works for me! :).
I just have one thing to ask.....
MORE SKITS! RUNNING GAGS! CUTAWAYS!!!! THE CAPTAIN! "Is it ice cream?" GUEST STARS AND FIRING PEOPLE FOR THOSE BLUNDERS! GHOST DAD! CONSPIRACY GUY! AND THE RESSSST RIGHT HERE ON SOME JERK WITH A CAMMMMMMMMMMERA
(fixes shirt) so sorry for that.
But seriously, if you would rather make this the format for SJWAC, then awesome! You do you!
It’s been 84 yeeeears
I like how you mentioned about the difference between thrill seekers and thematic experience lovers. It seems in the theme park world you only like one or the other. I consider myself a rare breed where I love both! I can have a great day at Disney/Universal and a great day at Six Flags/Cedar Fair but for different reasons! There are a few instances where both of my fandoms can be combined into one! Rides like Expedition Everest, Space Mountain, Harry Potter, Tower of Terror, and Test Track combine high thrills with elaborate theming, making them some of my favorite rides of all time!
It's kinda like Elvis fans and Beatles fans - Elvis fans can still like the Beatles, and Beatles fans can still like Elvis, but EVERYONE prefers one to the other.
I'm more of thematic fan myself, by I like thrillseeking too.
Hey Jerk,
I know you probably don't want to hear this right now, but you're one of my favorite content creators and I'm still in your corner. I'm just here to offer my support and let you know a lot of us will still be here no matter what. I wish you all the best.
10:51
Avengers Campus: Opening in 2020
Me: cries in COVID-19
Liked the vid. Your jokes always make me laugh. Good advice about tower of terror. At least cinamagquie had a live actor and in theater effect
I remember going on T2 3D like a few months before it closed and it felt hilariously lack luster
The actor for Arnold was half bald and he RAN on the stage instead of riding a motorcycle yet they still put on the motorcycle sound effects to him running on the stage with a gun
11:57 Great Scott! No seriously it looks more like Doc Brown than it does Ellen
17:42 Geez was Armageddon a huge hit in France or something? in reality the only good thing to come out of that film was a #1 hit for Aerosmith, and I bet you can't even hear that in their ride (not to mention an Oscar nomination for the Songs writer that ultimately lost to the Prince of Egypt)
22:35 oh yeah I guess we won't be seeing that anymore, even though it's stock footage....and hasn't been used since the first season
iHeartRyanStiles The French think Armageddon is a clever, scathing satire of America. Of course they loved it.
Also, the Armageddon show is closing to make way for Avengers Campus.
Must have Captain Actually make regular cameos on Phelous videos.
I...don't think Phelous is a fan of me.
I don't seem to recall a one movie later on fifty shades freed .😁
Michael Beld i know
"Well, Tom, that's the joke!" =D
The part where I agree with you: I too find myself bored by Pirates at this point, mostly riding it because other people in my party want to. Besides how many times I've ridden, I've also seen it countless times in various Disneyland-related videos. And I too loved Screamin' for being the one roller coaster that was just a roller coaster. (While the ideas they have for The Incredicoaster do look decent.) Even though its theming was minimal for a Disney coaster, theming a modern steel coaster as a classic woodie is still more than most parks do, and the carnival/surf guitar soundrack reflected that mix of the classic and modern.
I shouldn't have watched this when I was sick. It's so painful to laugh...how are you always so amazingly hilarious? Can't wait to see more from you, after I finish hacking up a lung in amusement.
THE SAVIOR HAS BROUGHT A SECOND COMING!!! PART 2 IS HEREEEEE
Jakethedog3275 took fucking long enough
“THEY HAVE NOTHING TO REPLACE IT WITH”!
We're also losing that amazing soundtrack on California Screamin', which was probably one of my favorite Disneyland songs.
Yeah, but more Michael Giacchino music on a roller coaster is always a good thing.
The soundtrack for Screamin' is available on iTunes!!
Toby Fair... :)
Its been so god damn LONGGGGGGGGGGG
It's been one month, dude. And it was kind of a rough month for me, and I'm a one-man operation, and I don't like doing rush jobs. You can wait a month, there's other channels out there.
Tony Goldmark Despite the long wait times for these videos, each video is the best in the youtube disney parks genre review/vloger. Kinda like pirates of the carriabean except less repetitive because you arent riding it. Every other disney park youtuber is boring in comparison to you because they just arent as funny as yours. So ya Id be willing to wait as long as I want for a Some jerk review.
Even though I saw that California Screaming "Next Time" clip coming it still got me. Also radioactive well. WELL played =D
I have to confess that at age 16 I went to go see It's Tough to Be a Bug at DCA and totally over reacted to the spider puppets that came out of the ceiling---when i was obviously old enough to know they were not real and were not going to hurt me... but damn those things were scary!
Thanks for touching upon CINEMAGIQUE and its closure in this video. One of if not THE best thing to come from Euro Disney. When I found out that it had closed down I was heartbroken.
Your hot take on Tower of Terror was awesome. As you say. Just chill.
2:53 and now I'm hearing that's closing
The Avengers stunt show was absolutely worth it. The fact that it has replaced Cinemagique is too perfect a bit of irony as you can get.
Who was that masked mansplainer?
I've seen Cinémagique once and it was one of my favourite rides in the whole Disneyland Paris resort. The sword effect actually blew my mind.
14:58 i’m looking at all of y’all who hated Harmonious!
11:03 …until recently when they announce Zootopia is taking its place… whenever that is.
11:07 and now they do!
Glad to see Cinemagique get a mention. It was actually one of the best Disney 'shows' I've seen, though it helps if you like Marty Short, are massively into classic cinema and enjoy being reminded just how great movies are. Really sucks that an entire attraction about film is being taken out of a FILM-themed park (not to mention to make way for yet more comic book nonsense...) but yeah, as second gate parks go, WDS is pretty lame right now so hopefully this $6bn should help.
My take with the closures (for at least the Orlando ones) are: never cared for Universe of Energy (hell I'm excited for the Guardians coaster, with that and both Mission Space and Test Track, Future World West really is the adrenaline sector of Epcot), sad to see Great Movie Ride go (nice dark ride, however it only appealed for movie buffs so I understand why I had to go and the replacement sure looks interesting), wished it was still opened during my last visit past December. Wishes was nice seeing it but Happily Ever After is miles better with a catchier theme song, better lightning and the projection mapping is really great (also like that has many renaissance songs represented) and T2 really was impressive during the first year and was a fan favorite for both me and my mother. Hope Universal finds something good to use the space (but please not another screen based dark ride or simulator).
PS The Stitch ride wasn't opened during my last visit (was only opened for Christmas to New Year week), so it was funny in a dark humor way see it used as stroller parking for parents wanting to ride Astro Orbitor, Buzz Lightyear, or Space Mountain.
I never hated on the DCA Tower of Terror. It was my favorite ride at that park from day 1.
Also, Thank You for reminding me how awesome the TRON: LEGACY soundtrack was.
I doubt that the people who would call it "Bad Tower" would be the same people saying "Don't take it away, it was great". I was always a defender of this ride. For a lot of us it wasn't "Bad Tower" it was "Only Tower". Or for the select few who could ride both coasts, it was "Not-as-Good Tower" Anyway, it's done now. Great video.
Also, everything you said about Screamin' is spot on.
Also, also, Captain Actually is probably the funniest skit you've done.
I love this man so, so much.
I was wondering when this video was gonna be up. Unfortunately when I went to DCA in January we were in a hurry so I didn't get to ride California Screamin' (it was its last day of operation as well)
Thank you for your comments on the simplicity of the premise behind California Screamin', as it matches my feelings why I prefer Space Mountain to any of the overlays, especially Hyperspace Mountain. I love it when Disneyland tells me a story, but for Space Mountain, I don't want or need to dodge an evil ghost galaxy or get into a space dogfight. Just give me the pure unadulterated thrill of racing through the pitch-black of space.
You wouldn't have had a good time seeing t2 one more in Florida. The 3D was pretty broken towards the end. It was kind of headache inducing because you saw slight doubles and ghosting
State of the parks
I’m waiting!
Anyway this was good
You're a good boy who makes good videos. Good job.
I hope to see the T-1000000 in a terminator movie someday. It would especially be cool if they replicated the early CGI look of the model used in the attraction
The Log Jammer at Kennywood in Pittsburgh hit me hard it was my favorite ride at that park as a kid.
Jokerz 79 hey at least it’s replacement looks promising
8:47 Luckily that didn't stop my biggest obsession from that film from becoming the recent addition to the roster on the Disney Heroes Battle Mode gaming app: th-cam.com/video/hCtyseOgiVE/w-d-xo.html
Captain actually ride for euro disneyland, please
Captain actually may be my new favorite some jerk character.
Hmmm...I guess it could be something Universal monster related that replaces T2 but well...I don't know, the so called Dark Universe pretty much won't happen because the 2017 Mummy movie bombed and I doubt that they would replace the existing Mummy ride with a ride based on that film.
I hated It's Tough to be a Bug. I remember we went to watch it one more time way before it closed, figuring it didn't have much longer on this Earth.
During the part where the "wasps" sting you, the stinger in the seat jabbed me right in a sweet spot in my back and I was sore for the rest of the the day. And that's all I remember from that trip. Good riddance to it I say.
I miss the Great Movie Ride. It was my favorite ride at Hollywood Studios and I always made a point to go when I went to one of my favorite parks.
Ellen's Animatronic (Or What Remains Of It) vs Corey Matthew's Dummy
I remember seeing Cinemagique when I went to Walt Disney Studios Park Paris. It was alright, and I do remember getting a kick out of Martin Short’s hokey acting. Now they’ve gotten rid of it for an Avengers stunt show, I ask; Why is this needed when there’s already a great big show next door with Lightning McQueen aka Disney’s other massive money machine as a guest star? My best guess is that it’s very outdated (I saw it in 2014 and the most recent film featured in it I could make out was Toy Story 3 from four years ago).
Why are most of these 3D movie theaters just becoming preview theaters? I guess so that it's easier to switch out the different movies but even then if we want to see some trailers, we'll just go to TH-cam.
Honestly, it's because no one lines up for 3D film attractions anymore, and they need people-eaters.
Lol April 1st intro
Remember that stinger with Thanos and Darkseid, so hyped
I would have added an honorable mention for La Nouba as well, but i get that's not really an "attraction" and it's not everyone's thing.
Disney is missing a huge oportunity never building a kh ride. Especialy now tha 3 is coming out. Regardless of the games kh is so disney parkesk that it would fit without trouble
Man I’m gonna miss Terminator 2 3D so much. That ride introduced me to my favorite movie of all time T2 and as a kid I loved T23D
Hey Tony, I know its not related to the video, but will you be reviewing Black Panther soon? I like to know your thoughts on it.
Alienboy Disney is kicking themselves in the foot by not theming the Marvel lands on Wakanda, now that Black Panther is becoming the biggest superhero film ever.
And no, Tony only reviews films that have a connection to theme parks. Black Panther has yet to have a ride.
What he said.
If only they hadn't said no to the Africa Pavilion at Epcot...
Dunes8 well, when the only country who was interested in being the sponsor was apartheid era South Africa, you’re in a rock/hard place scenario.
The goddamn cardiac arrest joke shouldn't get me every time the way it does.
I now want a comic book and/or animated series of Captain Actually!
Captain actually! Cardiac arrest! Ooooooooooo🤣
First Muppet-Vision 3D and now Tough to be a Bug? What does DCA have against 3D movies anyway? Oh, well. Another point for the Florida parks, I guess.
Honorable Mention 1 - As cool as Disney Quest sounds, I can see the logic behind closing it.
Honorable Mention 2 - Yeah, they basically swapped one Disney cliche for another with that fireworks show and I honestly don't think they would get rid of fireworks altogether since that's their reward for those who are financially able (and for the parents who have the patience) to stay all day long.
8. As shocking as it is for the attraction to leave when Buzz Lightyear was more popular than the nostalgic Disney characters, Disney hasn't been in Hong Kong for too long and the Marvel characters may have appealed more to them. I doubt Buzz will stay away for long though and I think they will add another attraction themed around him in the future. Maybe when they release Toy Story 4, his popularity will rise again and he'll get his own special attraction in the Toy Story Land they opened in 2011.
7. This doesn't surprise me either. A Bug's Life isn't as popular as other Pixar movies and they probably wanted to hammer in the fact that they own Marvel now by replacing the attraction with another Marvel property.
6. Considering she reprised her role as Dory fairly recently, I'm honestly surprised Disney didn't just say something along the lines of "we're adding another Finding Nemo ride and making Dory the star."
5. I'm hoping they'll update it, but knowing Disney, they're probably just gonna replace it with a Star Wars themed attraction.
4. ...what the...okay, I know this was just a Disney Land version of the original in Florida, but closing down the Tower of Terror? That's like...one of the most iconic attractions! Then again, Universal closed down Jaws so anything can happen. Maybe they'll replace it with something Coco related like a "journey through the land of the dead."
3. That actually sounds kinda interesting and I'm disappointed they replaced their nostalgia-based attraction with another Marvel one. I'm not surprised though and they probably will find another way to make parkgoers feel nostalgic.
2. This saddens me because it was yet another attraction I was unable to see but I'm not surprised. If the rumor is true about a Star Trek themed attraction, fans of that franchise will be happy and they will be able to compete with any Disney Star Wars attractions. Also, I doubt it's what they're replacing it with right now, but if they put in a Nintendo-themed park like the one they're installing in Japan I will be INSANELY happy.
1. Aww! No more California Screamin? I loved that ride! Still, turning it into an Incredibles-themed ride is interesting and I look forward to seeing footage of the ride when it's released.
Elyse Walker go complain on his video when he addresses the compliant about tower of terror.
Finally I've been waiting so long for this video
You've been waiting one month, tops. How young are you for you to think that's some immeasurably torturous long time?
Tony Goldmark oh right
California Dreaming yeah that will be in my head all day
I kind of wish Cyberspace Mountain had a way of being experienced.
How long is it til every single last ride is either replaced with like 300 more "Frozen" meet and greet playgrounds and "Star Wars" rides?
2:42- What did Europe’s Disney Channel have to do with CyberSpace Mountain?
No idea, it's just the picture I could find.
you rock as always tony
I think T2:3D had to be the biggest loss of the year. I went to see it in the last week it was open and it still wowed, despite its age. I've only fairly recently experienced Universal parks but despite being really impressed I can't help but think that the only properties I actually care about have already gone or will go soon. BTTF, Jaws, T2:3D, Kongfrontation, E.T.... As someone who hasn't drunk the Harry Potter Kool Aid, it sucks when really the only thing you care about at Universal any more is Jurassic Park....
I liked Paradise Pier but I look forward to Incredicoaster more. Yeah, you make a good point about thrill seekers, but those folks are likely going to Magic Mountain instead. I think an Incredibles themed coaster will attract more people than Paradise Pier ever did.
I’ve been wanting Universal to do something with Star Trek ever since the Star Trek Experience in Vegas closed.
Although they said T23D’s replacement would be something Universal, so I don’t know about Star Trek.
I want to see that fifty shades movie described in the beginning.
Ilove the Speed feature
I loved Disney Quest!!! So sad it is gone now....
Gee even though they temporarily close the NBA experience during the pandemic they decided to close it forever before it could reopen. I wonder how Disney will get it's money back from that.
So what are your thoughts on the big news today, about Disney's latest acquisition, Tony?
I knew Disney was buying up a lot of properties with Marvel, Lucasfilm, Fox etc, but was quite surprised that Disney bought out Harvard University today and now plans on making it a for-profit college and New England branch of Disney World. Do you think they will now have Mickey on the sidelines of their games instead of the old mascots?
Hate to break it to you, but I was the one making the joke!
And just like that, Cinemagique will be returning next year for about six months.
