News Round Up 2017

While no it wouldn't hurt Disney has never been about thrill. I wouldn't even classify the three mountains as thrill rides. Rockin Rollercoaster, and tower of terror are more on the lines of thrill rides but neither are in MK of course.

I agree. Disney has never been about thrill rides. The ones that have been added (ToT,RRC, EE, Dino etc..) have been added with taste and theming. If all you want is thrill I don't think Disney will be your cup of tea. Quite frankly if they went in that direction it would probably limit my visits

For the bigger thrill factor that's why we go to USO. My husband lives for those thrill rides...I do not.
 


One of my kids favorite memories from our Disney trip was how much they didn't like Speedway. 5 & 6 at the time, they were totally underwhelmed and kept asking, "was that it?" It probably didn't help that we did it on our last day and had a stubborn squirrel that wouldn't budge from our path for a solid 3-4 minutes. They laugh about the suffering they had to endure on the stinky, bumpy, hot, slow, squirrel-ridden Speedway. Talk about first world problems.

Was this very popular to justify the increase? It seemed to me any time I have noticed it, the lines have been virtually 0 (though I do go at times like earlier in the day to try and avoid the crowds).

I don't travel down to see the lines very often but I know Groupon offers a certain amount off for the balloon. A lot of bloggers and such would do it during construction so they could get an aerial view too.

Weird that they are installing those just now. I've read and heard multiple stories about shoplifting happening at WDW, especially by members of tour groups (all of them, not one in particular).

I guess that just like with the metal detectors, they didn't want to spoil the magic... Until it was necessary, anyways.

I would be more than happy to see Tomorrowland Speedway be replaced. I have never been a fan (especially of the smell) of the attraction, especially of the odd aesthetics of a non-futuristic kart track next to the tea cups. As others have said, to say there are a plethora of other superior karting options is an understatement.

I do also feel I need to say my concept of a kart attraction in a Disney park was changed drastically when I visited Disneyland last year. The difference between Autopia and Tomorrowland Speedway is drastic. While there are many alternative simple (or complex) kart tracks around, I have never experienced one like Autopia where I can enjoy karting through green landscapes. To get an idea simply look at satellite footage of the two; Autopia is a lush green while Tomorrowland Speedway is a concrete jungle.

Obviously children (and adults - myself included) enjoy karting attractions, so I find myself in favor of the suggestions to replace it either with a Sugar Rush theme or a Tron theme (depending of the Fantasyland / Tomorrowland presence). I don't even care if it was simple skinning changes as long as the ride got a bit of flavor over simply karting on concrete.

Well I would argue right now the longest wait in MK is Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and that's not a thrill ride...

Plus Peter Pan always has a crazy long line

A lot of it is thruput not just how good/thrilling a ride is that causes lines
