I always say "morning" instead of "good morning". Because if it were a good morning, I'd be at Epic Universe 🙂‍↕️

If I heard "alcoholics" one more time 😭🤣

Good change: Disney updated the Cosmic Rewind preshow, removing the opportunity for guests to answer the question and inevitably yell something unfunny.

[The Ride Rat @The_Ride_Rat]

Happy and (mostly) optimistic 🙂‍↕️

Walt Disney World celebrates 55 years with the significant investments made across the resort.

Over the past five years, the resort has added nearly a theme park’s worth of experiences, with more than 70 new or refreshed experiences opening since 2021.

Major projects continue to progress, with much more on the horizon.

@DisTwitrPodcast I've never seen the Country Bears Jamboree.....and I really don't feel like I'm missing out

[The Ride Rat @The_Ride_Rat]

Wow. Huge news out of MM, X2 will be closing permanently. One of only a handful of 4D coasters, and the only one in the US.

[Six Flags Magic Mountain @SFMagicMountain]

After almost 20 years, we have decided to permanently retire X2. Read Six Flags Magic Mountain Park President Brian Oerding’s blog post for more details: https://t.co/gtLWzbYnZm

Idk who needs to hear this, but Animation Courtyard is SO GOOD. A massive amount of meet and greet space, a play area, TWO shows (one of which is interactive), little easter eggs everywhere. Genuinely felt like good old fashioned Disney magic. Exactly what Hollywood Studios needed 🥹

@skippyboousa So strange. Over four rides the last two days - happened every time for my group 😭

[The Ride Rat @The_Ride_Rat]

I have a qualm, need some Epic Universe experts that may have any insight.

At Epic Universe tonight. Rode Battle at the Ministry last ride of the night (was a 3 hr wait most of the day), and the first scene with Umbridge in the elevator completely broke. Audio stopped and everything fell out of sync.

Asked the team member after the ride ab it, and she said it's been like that every day for almost two months.

That's just.....horrible. But also, idk if I can even fathom that it's been in that state for two months. Mind you the last time I was here was almost four months ago. I have no reason to not believe the team member, but idk.

I need to know if it's true or not. If it is, I may be sick to my stomach - it's just so completely unacceptable.

@CoasterK24 I did in fact finally see the pendulum work 😂😂

[The Ride Rat @The_Ride_Rat]

@CoasterK24 I'm more optimistic for my day today then! Out of my five rides:
1 - Umbridge animatronic scene broke
2 thru 4 - at least one death eater was down
5 - first Umbridge elevator scene broke

I just want one 🥲😅

[The Ride Rat @The_Ride_Rat]

Well now I know this wasn't the case and this team member lied straight to my face lol. All that being said, I've been on this ride five times now and still have yet to get a ride where everything works perfectly 😭

[The Ride Rat @The_Ride_Rat]

@CoasterK24 What the hell was this cast mamber on bro why would they tell me that 😭😭😂😂 thank you for ensuring I don't genuinely go nuts lmfao

[The Ride Rat @The_Ride_Rat]

Can't come soon enough 🤩

At center of this aerial photo is a 1970 Black Dodge Charger car in pull testing in the first launch at Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift.
Look close, there's a rope attached to the front.
Rider reach envelopes also attached. These arching pipes represent maximum reach of a rider.
