Tom Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Very lucky, and effective planner Just saying, because you went at a time when rides were closed doesn't mean DLR always has more rides closed than other parks And even if that was the case there are often more rides in each park than their counterparts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Unfortunately some of us can't just fly off somewhere on a whim. When I went was the most appropriate time for my partner and I to go. Doesn't make us inefficient planners, particularly when two of the rides weren't scheduled to be closed when we initially booked the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThemeParkCrafter Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Wait. Is this a late April fools joke? Seriously seems unnecessarily expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 People buy anything if it looks exclusive enough WDW charges ~200USD for an hour in the Magic Kingdom Park after it closes and barely anything is open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Heavily based on rumours, but some information about the potential up and coming attractions at DCA in the years leading up to 2024 Includes further information regarding the Guardians of the Galaxy Tower of Terror Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Users Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 The reaction hasn't been as negative as I expected nor does the rumour seem as far fetched as it initially sounds. A lot of West Coast fans seem to have a serious chip on their shoulder about getting the 'cheap' version of the attraction. This refit would mean the potential for new show effects. That area of the park has been earmarked for redevelopment for a while and the combination of MyMagic+ and Shanghai costs make a retheme rather than new attraction look realistic. Then there is the IP dream of not having to pay CBS for the Twilight Zone rights and being able to push Marvel on West Coast. I think the biggest loss would be the bellhops. The French version is near enough identical but the Californian cast and guests have made a huge difference to my visits. Crazy days for both Stateside towers. One's getting a bar in its exit corridor and the other is on the chopping block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Wow what a week!  First Bubbleworks announced as closing and now the California Tower ride.  I fear for every good dark ride right now.  This is has got to be the worst decision by Disney since the closure of Journey Of Imagination and WDW's Toad ride.

pluk Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 That sucks.  What with Avatars 'land of who cares about forgotten gimmick' not Disney film franchise, it feels like Disney are really out of step with what people want. When you add Star Wars they are certainly out of step with what I want, but I know I'm in the minority there.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlesberg Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 What I like about The Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror (opinion based off the DHS version) was the whole fear of the unknown and the creepy, spooky atmosphere which immersed me (and it takes a lot to immerse me, e.g. I thought Kong was meh).  It's like DCA don't care about the mark that the ride leaves on their riders, the 'Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror' ride is just too iconic for this retheme. My message to DCA is "good luck with that" (one of my common phrases) as this retheme just isn't gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 There is however a massive difference between the future additions of Avatar Land and Guardians Tower (as mentioned).  Avatar Land will be a massive new land built on an area home to mostly forgettable second rate attractions. Whilst a mix bag to most, the park will be gaining a highly new immersive area with much needed dark rides and  top theming whilst mostly staying cohesive to the park's setting.  Guardians Tower however will be replacing a popular, highly regarded and staple park attraction in a quick last minute project. Whilst the attraction may still be very good, it's going to be practically impossible for this overlay to succeed on what is a clone of one of the best dark rides in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitch Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 This is a good move for DCA. I t will  be the centrepiece of a new Marvel land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
