Sorry to bitch you out, Jim. I thought you were trying to be a thread sniper. I've learned to assume the worst about posters on Disney forums. |

Hell, at Soarin' you can see the whole mechanical workings overhead. I agree the sfx in the Fifth Dimension aren't perfect; they should have been plussed by now. But the same could be said for the whole park. |

Fri 12/5/2008 9:23a | ^^^Sure you can see tracks in Disney dark rides. But most of them are ground based attractions.
Mr. Toad's is a car -- Roger Rabbit is a taxi cab -- Alice in Wonderland is a caterpillar -- Indiana Jones is a transport jeep --- they're all on the ground.
With the 5th Dimension room -- I wasn't looking for flaws, but I immediately noticed that it was hot in that show building, and for whatever reason, my eyes were drawn to the floor, and there was this well-worn set of tracks that the elevator was going to be travelling on.
Maybe a 'Peter Pan's Flight' sort of mechanism to give the sensation of floating, I don't know...
Maybe rough up the floor with a textured paint so that it isn't so obvious.
We all have varying levels of what accounts for detail -- that 5th Dimension room sort of ruined it for me. |

I've never noticed that, but then we always go to WDW in January or at Thanksgiving.

Our last trip, we went to DHS just to ride it a few times.
RNRC: Husband's favorite. We rode that too.
Then we left. We were there for 12 days and had this luxury.
(Okay I work in a studio so...)
I do love their TSMM better than ours. I wish they had Fastpass.
Shopping: Syd's place is amazing. I swear I drop some cash each time I'm there. I believe that they buy celebrity stuff from auctions that raise money for charity, so I'm happy to pay whatever for whatever. I ALMOST made DH buy the $65,000 Dick Van Dyke jacket from Mary Poppins. (It was half-off, so $32,500, but he said no.)
I like the Movie Ride very much.
I do wish they'd do something with Sounds Dangerous. It makes those of us who work in sound seem lame. It could be so much, well, better! (I have ideas...)
I love the dinosaur in the middle of the lake.
I love walking down the street then seeing Darth Vader appear near the Star Tours. The little kids we saw were just insane over seeing DARTH VADER (I was too!)
I like Prime Time Cafe. |

Fri 12/5/2008 10:37a | Great stuff at the Disney Studios:
1)The blvd's are very attractive
2)Great movie Ride--although dated it is still a Disney masterpiece. That Wicked Witch of the West kicks ass for an AA!
3)Tower of Terror another top notch ride
4)Star Tours has a masterful entry area
5)One Man's Dream is the most underrated feature in **any** of the 11 Disney theme parks......how any true Disney fan can not be spellbound is beyond me.
6) some outstanding eats there--- only Epcot and Disney Sea have better. |

Wow, I totally disagree! I only seem to like Prime Time Cafe. I also don't like fussy food, so there you go.
I can eat myself obese at Epcot, though. |

Fri 12/5/2008 11:38a | I absolutely love the architecture of MGM/DS/DHS. The atmosphere really seems alive, especially when all the performers are out, and about. Echo Lake is a great place just to relax, and do some people watching. It definetly has several of the most popular rides at WDW, plus some pretty good restaurants.
Nighttime really sets this Park off. |
