@AliciaStella Yep. The head jostling is what does me in. Not quite as bad as Matterhorn for me, but not something I can comfortably loop anymore.

And I feel like this maybe says more about the aging coaster than us--I have zero issues with Stardust Racers or VelociCoaster!

@gatortebowfan15 @tksentinel @bdphill22 Tokyo Disneyland's third biggest event of the year used to be Easter, in a country where the holiday isn't really celebrated--so it's possible.

IMO it'd be tough to break through with a new party (see slower sales of Jollywood Nights), and Spring Break crowds make it tricky.

Regal View Restaurant men’s restroom is—literally—nicer than all of opening day Walt Disney Studios Park.

That’s not really saying much, but kinda odd this has happened with two different Disney park remaining projects restaurant restrooms.

Carthay Circle Restaurant men's restroom is--literally--nicer than all of Sunshine Plaza.

@MV3DChicken @skippyboousa That's wild--I honestly didn't know that! I could've sworn my family said they watched it live, but I doubt they could've gotten the Canadian broadcast from where we lived in Michigan.

I now know a fraction of what it must’ve felt like to witness the Miracle on Ice. What a game.

Legendary performance by Connor Hellebuyck. Wow.

@rocco_botte Contrarians and people who don’t understand the concept of bang for buck; not sure which is worse. It’s fine to think it’s not the greatest burger, but its counterparts are the Big Mac and Whopper, not some $30 steakhouse burger, or even Five Guys.

@rankingthemouse @RyanLMorris @andreajessica Haha yeah, that's why I tweeted it (not to say "actually this thing you like sucks")--I was surprised. Nothing about it clicks for me. Maybe the lack of a narrative or even backstory breadcrumbs? Not enough visual anchors? No clue. Like I said, glad others like it!

Would love to see these on the actual TBA. Incredibly well done, and would restore some charm and personality to the attraction.

Whenever Tiana’s Bayou Adventure launched I was disappointed that the ride signage and details were sadly lacking…so I decided to ‘imagineer’ a few things I wish they’d have done for the signs and log hood ornaments… #tianasbayouadventure

I don't think some younger fans (or less dorky ones) realize just how *huge* this is. Universe of Energy's BGM had been lost to the sands of time for decades. I remember threads about this on mousebits way back in the day. Absolutely incredibly to have this. Kudos, E82!

@rankingthemouse This congestion outside security is, itself, a security hazard. Really wish Disneyland would get its shit together. Terrible for the guest experience, first impressions, etc. And wildly inconsistent.

@bioreconstruct Only you could make demolition photos look this stunning.

@derekburgan @Schmoofy "Over a dozen years of friendship he did occasionally get muted when he’d repeatedly tweet the “it is Wednesday, my dudes” frog."

LOL. So many times over the years I wondered why I wasn't seeing tweets from Schmoofy only to realize I'd muted him for posting that fucking frog!

[Tom Bricker @Tom_Bricker]

@thehappyzan Hahah yes! If I could time travel TDR through the years, 2019 is definitely *not* my first choice as a destination!

[Tom Bricker @Tom_Bricker]

@thehappyzan Wow, that's awesome! Happy we got to catch many performances during its run, but there's so much we missed that ended before we started visiting TDR. BraviSEAmo is the big one--videos of that look gorgeous.

[Tom Bricker @Tom_Bricker]

@thehappyzan No kidding! What I wouldn't give to go back to the days of “It’s Christmas Time!” and Donald's Hot Jungle Summer.

[Tom Bricker @Tom_Bricker]

@thehappyzan I do have plenty of these, though, so no complaints there!

[Tom Bricker @Tom_Bricker]

@thehappyzan Also motivated me to pen this gem, that aged like milk: https://t.co/Hw1iN4yfqX
