@G_Prodigy One of the best current living attraction designers doing another Monsters ride? Yes sir. Praying it’s a Creature ride, but I know whatever it is it will be great.

@MetalsBrah @VielightInc My sister suffered a hypoxic brain injury and Vielight therapy helped tremendously with her recovery so far.

@bioreconstruct HUGE L that you can’t walk through the doors of Casita. That is the one theme park moment that is obvious when watching the film, guests entering the house for a celebration as Casita dances around you. You can’t Haunted Mansion that entrance.

@thecalibae This is awful. Say what you want about Ministry, but at least it meaningfully advanced screen tech and executed it in a way more immersive way.

@Midway_Mayhem Insane completion time and insane layout. This coaster looks so fun, so curious to see how long until the rest comes together.

[Giancarlo Rodaz @groduzz]

@Midway_Mayhem Interesting engineering on the zigzagging supports! Love how they wanted to keep the views clean of that airtime hill/wave turn.

[Giancarlo Rodaz @groduzz]

@bioreconstruct So we’re getting an indoor show scene?

[Giancarlo Rodaz @groduzz]

@ropedropchris Is is CRIMINAL that you’re not walking through the doors of Casita. That is THE theme park moment I want out of the house.

@diservations I'm still not really clear what the ride is from a story perspective? It looks like I'm riding through a Uniqlo t-shirt. Slapping stickers on concrete walls looks just as brutalist as ever. Executives must be very happy.

[Giancarlo Rodaz @groduzz]

@AliciaStella The initial concept art looked like it solved all the current complaints of the resort. Then they cut it all because they just don’t think the guest experience is worth THAT much. You have top minds at creative: do we think they don’t know Texas is hot? 😅

[Giancarlo Rodaz @groduzz]

@AliciaStella But why does this even need to be said? Is this not considered in the initial design? They tried to see how cheap they could go before people complain. They’re praying that people accept less so they can spend less. Terrible design mindset.

@Christo49381093 Not too long ago, parks would just be open late and you could enjoy it. Now a few hours at night is its own product to sell you. We're all frogs being slowly boiled...

[Giancarlo Rodaz @groduzz]

@MickeyExpediti1 The problem is that Disney solved this problem over 50 years ago. Make a place that can be enjoyed by all, and everyone will be happy. This place is designed with the mindset "How cheap can we make it before it's unacceptable? Where's that line?"

@diservations Show the whirlpool

[Giancarlo Rodaz @groduzz]

@Attractions Disappointing to see alcohol of any kind sold at a park for toddlers. It makes boatloads of money, but I can’t think of how this helps the experience for children if adults are getting a little buzzed.

[Giancarlo Rodaz @groduzz]

@bioreconstruct So sad to see it go, but way happier to have something built from the ground up instead of rethemed. Always makes the new product better.

[Giancarlo Rodaz @groduzz]

@ThemeParkIQ Trying to reinvent the wheel to save money. The original figures look better than this.

[Giancarlo Rodaz @groduzz]

@DisneyParks @Disneyland Sticks out like a sore thumb on the ride. The original character faces have so much more charm and depth. Why put an Unreal video game character in a sequence that’s supposed to be devoid of pirates?

[Giancarlo Rodaz @groduzz]

@caralynn_marie @CBR What’s bizarre is the extreme lack of effort from Universal. This is a picture of the same ride at a different resort. It’s way more colorful and themed. The one at Universal Kids is a downgrade. Why?
