News Round Up 2017

Sorry if someone has already pointed out this connection but we were just watching Zootopia last night for the first time since all this gondola talk. It would be cool if they themed the gondola system as the Zootopia "Sky-Trams." Kind of and IP ride before you even get to the parks.

I agree. Regular gondolas would look kinda stupid and tacky, maybe even tunnels that they go through that have immersive video screens

Well it does still exist.

I didn't think it did in "orange" States

I think they will have a "imagineering" type look. My guess is more "tomorrowland"...sleek, but not too obnoxious. Don't think they will fully "theme" them for practical purposes.

 

[sachilles]

So a $130 ticket and a $100 separate admission?

I'm actually getting tired of being right about how cut throat they are all the time. It gets old.

If you read to the bottom it said the additional admission was an april fools day prank.

Correct, they won't have a theme. Each station will fit in with where it is located though. For example the Epcot station will fit with the international Gateway look.

As always love the discussion but let's save the off topic topics for other threads. Let's stick to Star Wars land, Gondolas, and Pandora which is the most recent news we have.

"Thank you for reading all the way to the end of Star Wars Land News. Because you were so attentive, you are the first to know: April Fools! The part about Star Wars Land being a separate ticket event for the first summer is a prank. However…it is something to think about. Let’s watch the comments and see who reads the whole thing."

I fully expect there to be a hard ticket component to Star Wars Land (like couple times a week a special ticket for an after hours event or something) - and I could see them doing like the extra-extra hours they are doing for Pandora (and then jack the hotel rates up)

Ok...you don't deserve a beating then

I know it's enabling them. But I figure it's not that far off from a buffet price and at least I can get some alcohol there. That helps me forget the credit card bill a little bit

Inside the new security bubble, offering free cupcakes and an extra tier 1 FP, and they even shoot fireworks at your gondola as it goes past. Access is $100 per guest per day.

I really gotta get you some material to read on "slow news day"...

Minor diversions, my friend, if you leave the dog alone he'll go back to sleep

A "little"?

No doubt Disney will capitalize on that in some way.

HA! Can't say I've practiced that demonstration of gravity in the last decade.

I don't mind discussion. I just find the whole cupcakes, and protest at Potter stuff to be a bit much for this thread. We should at least try to remain on topics.

Neither have I...but i assume it's like riding a bike

Cupcakes will define the news of 2012-2016...what else went down? Avatar: the middle years?
