One time, when I was probably 5 or 6, I had gotten a Belle makeover at Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique. Then I met Chip and Dale on Main Street USA. Push came up to me and told me that I need to go see the Beast. For a long time until I started watching these videos, I though I was crazy that a trash can talked to me. Any video that you mention Push in just makes me think of that happy moment
Side note: I had to wait 3 hours in line for Web Slingers, even though I had a virtual pass. I would like the virtual queues more if it guaranteed a wait time shorter than 30 minutes.
I agree with the idea of Runaway Railway and Great Movie Ride coexisting. There’s no doubting that Runaway Railway is a great addition to the park, and it’s about time Mickey Mouse got his own attraction, but there’s also no doubt that the Great Movie ride was an absolute classic at the park. Great Movie Ride was a staple attraction to all my visits to Walt Disney World. That ride is greatly missed. Also with the acquisition of Lucasfilm, Disney also acquired Industrial Light and Magic, which could’ve been utilized to create better special effects on the ride. The Fox acquisition is a great point though, they now have the rights to many classic films that could’ve been used for the ride now that Disney is no longer licensing the MGM brand for the park, and could replace some of the films they don’t own. Whether Disney made the right move is up for debate, but both of these rides have been great attractions at the park.
yes. I do like Runaway Railway. But knowing it replaced the GMR just leaves a bad taste in my mouth when I ride it ☹️ I feel like I'd like it more if it didn't replace that.
I hate it cause it was in the way of the great movie ride which is the reason i never been to it cause we didn't notice the theater now its gone never got to ride it
@@papingosstudios161 I’m sorry you never got to ride The Great Movie Ride. It was a really wonderful ride into classic movies represented by different genres and life-like animatronics of old movie stars.
Disney is already helping you get started with part 2 of this video with the announcement of Genie, Genie+ pay upgrade, and paid Lightning Lane for most popular attractions.
I really wish Disney would bring back interactive characters like PUSH and iCan. They really added something special to the parks. Thanks for the video TPM!
One of my favorite Disneyland memories as a kid was hanging out with Push! We were waiting for members of our party using the Space Mountain bathroom and he parked himself next to the regular trash cans so he could jump scare people walking by! My dad was very obviously staring at him and Push said "Hey, you in the Linux shirt! It's kinda conspicuous!"
I think Runaway Railway is great but I feel like they really should have kept Great Movie Ride and maybe put Mickey and Minnie maybe in Magic Kingdom but it’s alright.
I think you are right but...that is also why it went, as all the movies used were not all owned by Disney. So the licensing was up so they would have had to change it quite a bit if it was to stay. With lower attendance of the ride and paying for renewed and more expensive licenses, its sad but makes sense why they shut it down. I loved it too though.
I’m surprised this wasn’t mentioned, but I wish they’d change Journey into Imagination back to It’s original ride. Bring that whole building back to what it used to be, being the second floor back. Also, change Hyperspace Mountain at Disneyland Paris back to its Jules Verne theming. The original rides music was beautiful.
I have a feeling they were planning on bringing back the original Imagination but covid pushed back plans. Notice how Dreamfinder’s blimp is a prominent figure on art for the 50th.
only thing, they should move the DVC lounge somewhere else though. As a DVC member, that is one of the things that are **very** enjoyable at Epcot when the crowds and temperatures are high.
I agree! Live entertainment is so important to the Disney parks, along with attractions. The cast members put so much work into bringing such classic Disney stories to life. Festival of the Lion King, Magic Happens, Main Street Electrical Parade, the Beauty and the Beast Live show, Mickey and the Magical Map, Frozen Live at the Hyperion, and countless more. I know Disney are short on cast members currently, but the Disney parks would not be the same without live entertainment! I want to see the joy in kids' faces when they see a parade on Main Street USA!!!
The virtual queue for rise of resistance has me nervous it is one of the rides I want to ride on our trip to Disney world. This will probably be our only trip to Disney world because normally we wouldn't be able to afford to go but a friend has gifted a trip to myself and my grandson and family for our birthdays both in November.
This is the exact reason I hate the virtual queue system. Some people live close enough to the parks and have enough regular income that they can make frequent trips to Disney; but for most people, that's not the case. Sometimes, your trip to Disney is literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. To have your dream vacation boil down to a blind-luck lottery system is so unfair and really heartbreaking 90% of the time.
I agree with the last statement about live entertainment. It is part of the Disney Magic and, actually, I think it eats up much of the crowds too. LE was one of the main reason I went to the Parks. And it is a BIG BLOW when they take it away and have no replacement for it. I do wish they would bring SpectroMagic back but re-imagined! That would be awesome!
@@justimagine2403 I’ve wanted pain the night forever, but was told it was too wide for the WDW parade route (Id think that could be tweaked and/or a float removed, but I’m no expert. And it’s probably just an excuse for more disney live entertainment & cost cutting)
I'd like to add a couple more to this list. The revamp of Journey into Imagination was such a big failure, turning a lovable and memorable ride into the obnoxious, no-wait ride it is now. And also the paid Genie fast passes are SUCH a big mistake on Disney's part. It's already difficult enough to go on all the attractions you want, but I feel like this is going to make it worse for us poor folks.
Sadly, this is Disney's way of saying their parks are intended for the rich, or at least highest bidder. This is one of the problems with current society, especially Wall Street. As a public company, you need to be increasing your profits every year, and you have competitors you need to beat. If you don't, you are a failure, and you have many risks. Among them, company being bought out and broken up, all of management being ousted. Prior to the early 1990's business wasn't so cut throat. Too many bankers realized how much money could be wrong out of many companies this way. For those who have forgotten, look up Saul Steinberg, Arvida and the two brothers that tried to corner the silver market along with take over Disney and basically end the company in 1984. (Breakup) Anyway, I digress. Great video, keep up the good work.
I understand the perspective, but I was sad to see the sorcerer's hat go. I saw it the first time I went back in 2004 . The hat was so large and I just loved it as a first time visual and tied it to my happy memories there.
Country Bears Jamboree. I was never able to see them, cuz they got replaced. And now, splash mountain. I wached Song of the South recently and news about new The Princess and a Frog ride replacing it made me sad. It was such a great stories with great animatronics.
I’m still bummed about The Great Movie Ride closing because I never got to ride it. And to make it worse, my last disney trip, we arrived and went to Hollywood Studios the DAY after The Great Movie Ride closed.
I remember the sorcerer’s hat from my first trip to Disney World and loving it. We took lots of pictures in front of it and it was being used as a shop at that time so we all got our Fisney Hats there.
I'm just gonna say it: Universal has virtual queue's figured out. You have to physically show up at the ride to get your return time. Having everyone log on to a website at 7 am and metaphorically duke it out was a BAD idea.
I would love that idea. First come first serve. That would ensure that I would be able to get on the ride. That it is more fair, however makes to the ride first by getting to park’s early get to ride. Disney should really take Universal’s virtual queue idea and then I wouldn’t mind them so much since it’s guaranteed that I get to ride that day m.
It’s been 11 years to the day that I was last at a Disney park! I can’t wait to go back one day! These videos definitely help to fill the gap and make it more bearable! Thank you 😊
@ThizIzAva Whether you go to Disneyland in California, Walt Disney World in Florida, or any of the other Disney parks in the world, you should go to one at least once in your life!!
Haven't been to Disney World in 23 years...1998. Last I went John Glenn was going up in the space shuttle and Animal Kingdom With 2 rides had just opened. We actually rode the super lame boat ride that was there and some skewered suits of armor hinting at a Beastly Kingdom coming in the near future. Which never happened.
I started visiting Hollywood Studios in 2008, so I'm one of those people who are used to the Sorcerer's Hat. Also, you have a great idea about leaving the Great Movie Ride where it was and putting Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway where Star Wars Launch Bay is.
My biggest problem with IP's is are entire areas centered around them. Because that leaves less flexibility to add and/or replace for something new in the future.
I feel just about everything I consider a mistake comes from Epcot. First and foremost, I miss the original Journey Into Imagination with Dreamfinder. I also wasn't the hugest fan of the Maelstrom change, but I kinda miss the little 5 minute movie presentation they had after the ride that is now absent. I used to like going into Innoventions and taking a load off while also enjoying drinks from around the world. The original Test Track was also my favorite.(Still remember the slow moving ride that came before TT as well)
I’m quite upset that Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom got removed, I want it back because it was so great to have “simple magic” instead of projections and glitter.
Dishonorable mentions: Replacing Fast-Pass with Genie, no longer offering free bus service to WDW, Disneyland Tomorrowland 1998 "renovation", replacing the original Journey into Imagination with the infamous Journey into Your Imagination incarnation, getting rid of Main Street Electrical Parade with the short lived Light Magic parade, and the general mishandling of Galaxy Edge's setting.
My enjoyment of Runaway Railway is entirely dependent on which car I get. The experience is dampened in the last car because you miss 50% of the scenes and Mickey and Minnie all look off because you don’t get to see them at their intended angle. They should have just updated the great movie ride.
Me and my family actually were at Disney last week and Splash Mountain was a 3 HOUR wait! There was so many things that we couldn’t do because of the wait times, like it’s crazy!
The hat for us is the HWS Icon we always think of for this park. We loved it as the main link for this park to Mickey and Walt. Although the park has a Hollywood theme, connecting to one of Walt's Iconic creations is a key point for me.
I love the sorcerer’s hat. My first trip was in 2005 and I have pictures of it and the Mickey water tower. Sad the backlot tour closed, that was awesome too. The great movie ride was amazing and I’m devastated they closed it. I had no idea until it was already closed.
Love #3! You’re the only content creator to suggest that Mickey’s Runaway Railway should be in the Animation Courtyard and not in place of The Great Movie Ride!
It was a mistake to remove the Great Movie Ride but it was also a mistake to take on TCM as a sponsor. This resulted in the end sequence being edited to death, much to the detriment of the ride. It would have been better to lengthen the sequence than to remove all the wonderful clips. Even though the Sorcerer’s Hat was just a pin trading area, it did provide an Icon for the Park. It should never have been removed, I say this as someone who, as an adult, attended the Park since the beginning. I was never aware that the Chinese Theater was intended to be the “icon” for the Park and did not feel it was a loss when it was covered.
Don't even forget about how disney treated Spectromagic and left the magic Kingdom without a night time parade. And their only original night time parade!
Fantastic video as always TPM! I know the secret. Disney needs to bring back shows like Fantasmic from before the pandemic it really was great ending the day with live entertainment!
You are so right, and never really thought about it. Live entertainment should be a must. I guess it can reduce attraction wait times. Bring back, “Rap and Roll in Magic Kingdom and “ Mickey’s Rockin Celebration in Epcot’s Odyssey Building. Perfect for kids and kids at heart who want to dance their energy out, cool off from the heat, and have shelter when it rains.
my issues with IP's is the addition of them to resorts as well when they don't necessarily belong. It's fine in small doses or even when contained to value resorts but I'm not a fan of such major IP placement in resorts (ie. moana at polynesian or incredibles at contemporary). I know I'm an adult in disney but I don't need to look at disney characters 24/7. I don't need to have pirate flags in my room because I'm staying at caribbean beach. I'd much rather be immersed in the resort's theming itself and appreciate that. That's why Old Key West has always been one of my favourites. It doesn't have to dress up at something it isn't to make it immersive.
Speaking of live entertainment ; in Epcot, and I’m going back quite a long time, there was Future Corps, that performed mostly around the Spaceship Earth area. What happened to them? I was a big fan myself, having marched Drum and Bugle Corps, and was extremely excited to see that art form as a part of Disney!
Well first off: I know the secret. And second I think the switch from Soarin over CA to Around the World at DCA was a big mistake. The original film fit so well into that park and while it needed some pixie dust, it has still held up upon every remastered return it’s done in the past few years!
I agree, but I do think the new film has its place. Maybe it would have been better at the more globally themed EPCOT while DCA kept the original California themed film.
Sadly with Chapek running things, it's all about raising prices, reducing the guest experience, removing the perks, and extras from booking a Disney resort. Yet Disney demands people come to the parks.
@@ARoamingPhotographer you are getting the full experience. The experience is actually better since standby lines will be shorter since Fastpass caused standby to be artificially long. Plus unlike Universal they are not charging $200 a person for it
@@asudevil316 I am also including the small perks, the street characters in Holly Wood studios, live entertainment, the rise in parking based on which hotel you're going to rest your head. Magic Bands are no longer a perk, and not to mention the massive increase in food and merchandise pricing.
@@ARoamingPhotographer live entertainment is coming back, again we are in the middle of a global pandemic. Second, all resorts in the US charge for parking. Third, magic bands are being replaced with the app so nothing is being lost. So nothing you said matters or is true
I've met Push in the Disney Studios park in Paris about 5 years ago. Funny little trashcan, it started following a guest after they passed Push, who had hidden next to a regular trashcan. The reaction of the guest was priceless, as Push chased them for a while. It was hilarious.
Disney’s kind of making me mad. Genie passes, splash mountain retheming, and the great movie ride being replaced. It’s really sad. The park just feels different. I feel like it’s lost a little bit of its magic.
@@nanomacaron232 how would you feel if they decided to remove Haunted Mansion or Pirates of the Caribbean? They are old attractions, after all. Some things are iconic, and should remain, though updating technology and redoing parts to keep fresh and make relevant is good.
@@jheiden2 I get that but getting upset and complaining won’t make Disney change anything. Change is a normal thing and we can’t do anything but learn to accept it
I have never been to WDW so I would have loved to go on the great movie ride, it was iconic. The Mickey & Minnie ride looks great and so cute and pretty but I agree with you they could have put it somewhere else to save the great movie ride and added movie scenes to the great movie ride. I think a big mistake is changing the theme of Splash Mountain sorry but that is my favorite ride for it being a water ride and I ❤️ the theme. Zip a dee doo dah is iconic and I ❤️ the fact they used old animatronics and I ❤️ all the animatronics it has. The princess and the frog I don't think will fit the theme right where its located, they could have made it a seperate ride. I am so sad to see the theme change. I am not ready to say goodbye to the song of the south theme. :(
@@TPMvids I also love your videos to and the last time that I was at Disney World was back in 2010 and I miss a lot of the stuff that is gone now including the backlot tour at MGM Studios i still call it that and etc etc.
Probably adding Pandora the World of Avatar to Animal Kingdom. I mean, (prior to the buyout of 20th Century Fox), having a land based on a franchise that you didn't own didn't make as much sense considering the sequels were years and years away. Plus, they had other options at the time. Like actually building Beastly Kingdome or from one of their upcoming movies, like Wakanda from Marvel's Black Panther. The few reasons it made sense to build Pandora was the location as they could run it late at night (away from the animals) and it had the environmental angle going for it. But that new land didn't really satisfy the mythological promise in Animal Kingdom's opening statement (plus not a whole lot of people don't remember the plot of the film just the world of the film.) And we still have the dragon from Beastly Kingdome on nearly all of the signage, trashcans, and ticket booths of the park, not the Banshees from Pandora. But after watching some video walkthoughs and foodie spotlights on the new land, it looks nice to eat there (especially the hamburger bao buns and build your own bowls). I'll visit the new land and try the new food, and go on the new rides. Though, I would rather have had either Beastly Kingdome, some other property more memorable (and recognizable), or just the campground with new food and ride options.
Well, I was a tour guide at the Great Movie Ride so I am super bummed that closed. I worked there for 6 months and it was tough coming to the realization that I would never get to ride it again after all the hours I spent there.
I love it I’m excited I love maxpass st Disneyland so much better than WDW terrible Fp system so I’m glad this is basically an updated maxpass for both parks
Yeah virtual queues are hard to get used to, but I do understand where they are coming from. But honestly, the worst change for me is that you can't really be spontaneous anymore. You almost always have to pre plan for rides and meals, especially the more popular places. And you spend a lot of time on your phone. It almost doesn't feel like a vacation anymore.
What Disney needs to deal with the big line - ups is to simply have more attractions. When I went in 2008 they had over 10 billion guest. In 2018 when we went back I heard they had 20 billion a year. That's a big increase and they did not offer enough new attractions. Worse is the fact that some of the new stuff replaced old attractions, so no gain in numbers. In other cases they just closed an attraction and left it vacant. the Stiches great escape building still does not have a new attraction. The inability of some new rides to have a high number of riders an hour is also a problem, so we get stuck with the virtual crew bull. I still love Disney but they have work to do.
I can definitely see your point, but I never saw the hat centerpiece or the push trash can actually. Jeez what did I miss? I definitely hope they do more live performances. The great movie ride was good but I like the new Mickey Mouse runaway railway better because there were some Sean’s in the movie ride that scared me, so maybe that’s one of the reasons they replaced it. Anyway another great video, love ya TPM!
Really would love to see a night time parade return to WDW. Ever since they removed Spectromagic and Main Street Electrical, it feels like something is missing each night in MK
I kid you not, I went to Disneyland the day the Jungle Cruise reopened. I had the victuals queue open for ten minutes. By the way, you can join it at 7am and 12pm. So less that 30 seconds after the clock hit twelve, the virtual queue for the new Star Wars ride was filled up. Over 200 groups for that ride filled up in less than 30 seconds. . . . I honestly still can't believe that happened. Also, the moblie order. I can't even with it. The food portion sizes are unbelievable small. It's extremely rare if a food place at Disneyland doesn't have moblie order. You literally don't get a choice if you want to use it or not. So pretty much you're forced to pay for food with your card. I'm not going back for a while.
I was born in 2003 and grew up with the hat in Hollywood Studios. Still very sad they took it down. Now to me it looks like there's a huge gap in the center of the park. Also miss the old Hollywood Studios and the Osborne Lights
With the closure of The Studio Backlot Tour as well and the inclusion of Toy Story Land and Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge, Disney’s Hollywood Studios (MGM Studios on its opening day) is starting to feel less like a theme park dedicated to educating tourists on the magic of movie making and more like their other parks full of IPs.
Muppet Mobile Lab is still around isn’t it? I went to Epcot in late July, and it was still on the maps, but I didn’t stop to see it I hope it’s still there, I love the muppets and always enjoyed the mobile lab show
Well...screwing over the cast members when the pandemic started is one. And the new Genie+ app is going to be a nightmare for people who don't have endless money. The biggest mistake of all though is Disney forgetting about the people who made the company what it is, and totally losing their way.
I also loved the Hat at MGM Studios to and another thing that the company has done in my opinion was getting rid of the movie making aspect of MGM Studios cause when I was there in 06 through 2010 I loved that we got to go behind the scenes of movie making and etc etc the only thing at the park that still does it is the Indiana Jones Stunt show. I also loved the Education aspect of Epcot at the time it was awesome my favorite attraction at Epcot is Soarin it was amazing with the score the scents everything I'm also a Entertainment person I love the show's and the character meet and greet's so cutting back on the Entertainment is one of the worse things that the company has done in my opinion.
The lack of entertainment bothers me. It really takes away from the idea of escaping reality. Doesn't help you're paying more for less. When will Disney learn?
I didn't know the ratatouille ride wasn't I other parks....went on it like 5 times in a row a few years back in Paris and it quickly became my fave ride ever!! It's so adorably fun.
The problem is they've gotten away from being an immersive theme park and imagineering and moved to just slapping a IP on it. Then on top of that, raise the price and cut entertainment. Even EPCOT will be over run with IP's soon
Here are my thoughts on this list; 1, I never ran into Push myself when I went to Disney World and never knew he had existed for the longest time, but he seemed like a cute and fun character. 2, the IPs. I myself don't have a problem with more IPs being introduced into the Parks, especially if its from movies that I love and/or the attractions based on the IPs are good. I understand why some people might be upset at the IPs, if they replace beloved rides and if some people just don't like the IP in the first place. Frozen Ever After is probably one of the best examples of the IP witch hunt in my opinion as one, Frozen is a polarizing Disney film as it is and two, it replaced a ride that showcased the Norway spirit that was in a Park that is more or less the educational Park, at least the World Showcase part. Like you said, though, IPs have been part of the Parks for many years and as sad as it is to see attractions go, Walt Disney himself said something about the Parks always changing and evolving. And change is something that we won't always understand and like. 3, Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway replacing The Great Movie Ride. Totally get the reasoning for this, that it likely would have been a better decision to put MAMRR elsewhere. I do feel that It's right for Mickey to have his own ride, as he's the freaking mascot of Disney itself! But I also feel that The Great Movie Ride deserved to stick around. I know there's people who make the argument that the ride was outdated, which I always find it disheartening when people call classic rides "outdated." (Like Splash Mountain being called outdated) The Great Movie Ride celebrated films, which yes are old today and won't be getting any younger, but films that were groundbreaking and important to not only film history but history in general. Just because something isn't new and hip or whatever doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable and its important to pay homage to the past, and to see where we have come from. 4, the Mickey Sorcerer Hat. When I went to Disney World and to Hollywood Studios, the Hat was there. So I kind of always associated HS with the Mickey Sorcerer Hat. I can't say I am particularly devastated to see it go, but part of me thinks that it would make more sense for the Chinese Theater to be the Park icon for HS? 5, the virtual queues. I think everyone can agree that it's great to not have to stand in a line for a ride. But I can see the virtual queues being annoying, as its not like you can go up to the ride and wait in the line to experience it. You have to try and hope that you can snag a boarding pass to have the chance to ride. Waiting in a line that is hours long sucks, but at least you know (fingers crossing the ride doesn't break down and gets closed) that you will get to do it. I personally think that something like the lineless queue over at Universal Studios for Jimmy Fallon is better (I know that attraction isn't popular, but I do think the concept of a lineless queue is good) As for changes to the Parks that I am not a fan of? For one, how the Cinderella Castle at Disney World looks now. I get them redesigning it for the 50th anniversary makes sense, and people would argue that the Cinderella Castle is more colorful now, not drab. But to me, it looks like veering to the Sleeping Beauty Castle look, and I liked that the Cinderella Castle did its own thing. One of the only other changes I am not gung ho about is the retheming of Splash Mountain. I do like The Princess and the Frog and its kinda cool to see Disney's last 2D animated film getting some more attention. But I have wanted to ride on Splash Mountain as it is now for a long time, and I do like the theming. Yes it is based off a problematic film, but the ride for the most part is not touching on what made the source material conversational. Just a tale about a hungry fox and bear trying to eat a rabbit, whose cleverness and wit saves him. The theme song of the ride is probably what one would call the most problematic element in the ride (aside from being based off Song of the South in the first place) At the least, I wish I could have gotten to ride Splash Mountain once.
One of the worst moves Disney made was switching the Aladdin show to frozen 😭 the Aladdin show was just so good! And it was always funny because they would have new jokes. The frozen show you can see once and never really need to see it again 🤷🏻♀️
I was so mad that they did that! Not only did I LOVE the Aladdin show, but I was already totally over Frozen because I was so sick of it being shoved in my face all the time, just like I got sick of High School Musical when it was being overly hyped.
TPM VIDS, l admit that you have a good point about the Great Movie Ride being replaced, especially since I've never had been on the ride itself I would love to ride it! I have never been to any of the Disney Theme Parks too be honest, but I would love to someday! Love your work by the way, keep it up, your doing great 👍!!!!🌹💐🌷💞💕💖🎩🎀
@@kevinbarquest3974 mostly yes, but they did add Mary Poppins to the ride! So I see your point but I would've love to see the ride! Especially to see the audio animatronic of Gene Kelly!!!
One time, when I was probably 5 or 6, I had gotten a Belle makeover at Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique. Then I met Chip and Dale on Main Street USA. Push came up to me and told me that I need to go see the Beast. For a long time until I started watching these videos, I though I was crazy that a trash can talked to me. Any video that you mention Push in just makes me think of that happy moment
That is so cool
This is perfect for my AU. The characters talk with their ACTUAL voices here.
That’s so cool I’m sad I wasn’t able to experience push
I never got to meet push lol
Push needs to come back- *intense making a push come back protest sign*
Side note: I had to wait 3 hours in line for Web Slingers, even though I had a virtual pass. I would like the virtual queues more if it guaranteed a wait time shorter than 30 minutes.
Same here
Now its paid. Disney always has the last laugh.
Still going to be a non paid virtual queue even after genie+ starts.
I. Am. SO SORRY. 😢
Standing in the boiling sun was the worst part! but me and my family always found a way to make our ride experience the best.
I agree with the idea of Runaway Railway and Great Movie Ride coexisting. There’s no doubting that Runaway Railway is a great addition to the park, and it’s about time Mickey Mouse got his own attraction, but there’s also no doubt that the Great Movie ride was an absolute classic at the park. Great Movie Ride was a staple attraction to all my visits to Walt Disney World. That ride is greatly missed. Also with the acquisition of Lucasfilm, Disney also acquired Industrial Light and Magic, which could’ve been utilized to create better special effects on the ride. The Fox acquisition is a great point though, they now have the rights to many classic films that could’ve been used for the ride now that Disney is no longer licensing the MGM brand for the park, and could replace some of the films they don’t own. Whether Disney made the right move is up for debate, but both of these rides have been great attractions at the park.
Yeah
yes. I do like Runaway Railway. But knowing it replaced the GMR just leaves a bad taste in my mouth when I ride it ☹️ I feel like I'd like it more if it didn't replace that.
Funny thing about the giant Sorcerer Hat, I'm a big fan of Disney's The Sorcerer's Apprentice and I got myself a Sorcerer Hat for Fantasmic.

My dad was very obviously staring at him and Push said "Hey, you in the Linux shirt! It's kinda conspicuous!"

I loved push. When we were at disney one time he came up to my husband and said see this guy, he’s my body guard. So freaking hilarious.
I never got to see it in person, but if it ever comes back I'm buying it a hat
I think Runaway Railway is great but I feel like they really should have kept Great Movie Ride and maybe put Mickey and Minnie maybe in Magic Kingdom but it’s alright.
With out updating the movies in the Great Movie Ride with new movies the ride was outdated.
@@scruffydog2 Yeah.
@@scruffydog2 it would ruin the ride if new movies were added
I really miss it :(
I think you are right but...that is also why it went, as all the movies used were not all owned by Disney. So the licensing was up so they would have had to change it quite a bit if it was to stay. With lower attendance of the ride and paying for renewed and more expensive licenses, its sad but makes sense why they shut it down. I loved it too though.
I’m surprised this wasn’t mentioned, but I wish they’d change Journey into Imagination back to It’s original ride. Bring that whole building back to what it used to be, being the second floor back. Also, change Hyperspace Mountain at Disneyland Paris back to its Jules Verne theming. The original rides music was beautiful.
THIS. YES. Refurb back to original Journey
I have a feeling they were planning on bringing back the original Imagination but covid pushed back plans. Notice how Dreamfinder’s blimp is a prominent figure on art for the 50th.
Can you imagine the original Journey with modern day technology? It would be INCREDIBLE.
I'm supremely wish they would bring back journey into the imagination
only thing, they should move the DVC lounge somewhere else though. As a DVC member, that is one of the things that are **very** enjoyable at Epcot when the crowds and temperatures are high.
I agree! Live entertainment is so important to the Disney parks, along with attractions. The cast members put so much work into bringing such classic Disney stories to life. Festival of the Lion King, Magic Happens, Main Street Electrical Parade, the Beauty and the Beast Live show, Mickey and the Magical Map, Frozen Live at the Hyperion, and countless more. I know Disney are short on cast members currently, but the Disney parks would not be the same without live entertainment! I want to see the joy in kids' faces when they see a parade on Main Street USA!!!
Fun Fact: the Sorcers hat originally I think was going to be a walk through museum.
I advise watching yesterworld he did a great recounting on the subject.
@@SwivelAxl I know I have.
Yes With ferris weels as ears
@@Gekkiiii Yep that’s right.
@Involten ?
The virtual queue for rise of resistance has me nervous it is one of the rides I want to ride on our trip to Disney world. This will probably be our only trip to Disney world because normally we wouldn't be able to afford to go but a friend has gifted a trip to myself and my grandson and family for our birthdays both in November.
be safe and have fun!
This is the exact reason I hate the virtual queue system. Some people live close enough to the parks and have enough regular income that they can make frequent trips to Disney; but for most people, that's not the case. Sometimes, your trip to Disney is literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. To have your dream vacation boil down to a blind-luck lottery system is so unfair and really heartbreaking 90% of the time.
I agree with the last statement about live entertainment. It is part of the Disney Magic and, actually, I think it eats up much of the crowds too. LE was one of the main reason I went to the Parks. And it is a BIG BLOW when they take it away and have no replacement for it.
I do wish they would bring SpectroMagic back but re-imagined! That would be awesome!
Yes, it would be called Paint the Night.
@@justimagine2403 I’ve wanted pain the night forever, but was told it was too wide for the WDW parade route (Id think that could be tweaked and/or a float removed, but I’m no expert. And it’s probably just an excuse for more disney live entertainment & cost cutting)
I'd like to add a couple more to this list. The revamp of Journey into Imagination was such a big failure, turning a lovable and memorable ride into the obnoxious, no-wait ride it is now. And also the paid Genie fast passes are SUCH a big mistake on Disney's part. It's already difficult enough to go on all the attractions you want, but I feel like this is going to make it worse for us poor folks.
Sadly, this is Disney's way of saying their parks are intended for the rich, or at least highest bidder.
This is one of the problems with current society, especially Wall Street. As a public company, you need to be increasing your profits every year, and you have competitors you need to beat. If you don't, you are a failure, and you have many risks. Among them, company being bought out and broken up, all of management being ousted. Prior to the early 1990's business wasn't so cut throat. Too many bankers realized how much money could be wrong out of many companies this way.
For those who have forgotten, look up Saul Steinberg, Arvida and the two brothers that tried to corner the silver market along with take over Disney and basically end the company in 1984. (Breakup)
Anyway, I digress. Great video, keep up the good work.
Two refurbs of JII, no less. The first was so hated, they had to do a second. Less than 2 years after the first.
I agree, the pay-to-ride Genie system replacing the fastpass system is a tragedy. I am still not over it.
I understand the perspective, but I was sad to see the sorcerer's hat go. I saw it the first time I went back in 2004 . The hat was so large and I just loved it as a first time visual and tied it to my happy memories there.
journey into imagination closing, IP in small world and the change to paris space mountain away from the jules verne theme are my personal top 3
Country Bears Jamboree. I was never able to see them, cuz they got replaced. And now, splash mountain. I wached Song of the South recently and news about new The Princess and a Frog ride replacing it made me sad. It was such a great stories with great animatronics.
I’m still bummed about The Great Movie Ride closing because I never got to ride it. And to make it worse, my last disney trip, we arrived and went to Hollywood Studios the DAY after The Great Movie Ride closed.
Ah that’s too bad it really was something special
@@robwizproductions Yeah thanks :)
I remember the sorcerer’s hat from my first trip to Disney World and loving it. We took lots of pictures in front of it and it was being used as a shop at that time so we all got our Fisney Hats there.
I'm just gonna say it: Universal has virtual queue's figured out. You have to physically show up at the ride to get your return time. Having everyone log on to a website at 7 am and metaphorically duke it out was a BAD idea.
Ikr it felt like hunger games tring to get a queue at, Disney like I woke everyone up
I would love that idea. First come first serve. That would ensure that I would be able to get on the ride. That it is more fair, however makes to the ride first by getting to park’s early get to ride. Disney should really take Universal’s virtual queue idea and then I wouldn’t mind them so much since it’s guaranteed that I get to ride that day m.
Yeah I agree
Yep.
Decision to get rid of horizons and backlot tour was a big mistake in my opinion . The latter would eat up so much of the crowds
It’s been 11 years to the day that I was last at a Disney park! I can’t wait to go back one day! These videos definitely help to fill the gap and make it more bearable! Thank you 😊
@ThizIzAva Whether you go to Disneyland in California, Walt Disney World in Florida, or any of the other Disney parks in the world, you should go to one at least once in your life!!
I think this might be Disney's least popular move ever.
Haven't been to Disney World in 23 years...1998. Last I went John Glenn was going up in the space shuttle and Animal Kingdom With 2 rides had just opened. We actually rode the super lame boat ride that was there and some skewered suits of armor hinting at a Beastly Kingdom coming in the near future. Which never happened.
I just went to Disneyland and your videos made the experience 10x better then the last time!
Thanks TPM!
I know!
I started visiting Hollywood Studios in 2008, so I'm one of those people who are used to the Sorcerer's Hat. Also, you have a great idea about leaving the Great Movie Ride where it was and putting Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway where Star Wars Launch Bay is.
Fun fact: you are early until you refresh
True
*Y E S*
Actually really really sad fact
Lol that’s true
No no hes got a point
My biggest problem with IP's is are entire areas centered around them. Because that leaves less flexibility to add and/or replace for something new in the future.
I always look forward to the TPM videos!!
Same!

I feel just about everything I consider a mistake comes from Epcot. First and foremost, I miss the original Journey Into Imagination with Dreamfinder. I also wasn't the hugest fan of the Maelstrom change, but I kinda miss the little 5 minute movie presentation they had after the ride that is now absent. I used to like going into Innoventions and taking a load off while also enjoying drinks from around the world. The original Test Track was also my favorite.(Still remember the slow moving ride that came before TT as well)
I’m quite upset that Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom got removed, I want it back because it was so great to have “simple magic” instead of projections and glitter.
Dishonorable mentions: Replacing Fast-Pass with Genie, no longer offering free bus service to WDW, Disneyland Tomorrowland 1998 "renovation", replacing the original Journey into Imagination with the infamous Journey into Your Imagination incarnation, getting rid of Main Street Electrical Parade with the short lived Light Magic parade, and the general mishandling of Galaxy Edge's setting.
My enjoyment of Runaway Railway is entirely dependent on which car I get. The experience is dampened in the last car because you miss 50% of the scenes and Mickey and Minnie all look off because you don’t get to see them at their intended angle. They should have just updated the great movie ride.
Finnaly I have been waiting a long time for you to upload this
I love Mickey and Minnie's Runway Ralway, but the Great Movie Ride as a fan of the Wizard of Oz was awesome😭
I know the secret 😁
My son and I love your channel. Highlight of the week when a new video is uploaded. Thank you from Winters, CA!!
Every time TPM uploads it always makes my day!
Same
Me and my family actually were at Disney last week and Splash Mountain was a 3 HOUR wait! There was so many things that we couldn’t do because of the wait times, like it’s crazy!
The hat for us is the HWS Icon we always think of for this park. We loved it as the main link for this park to Mickey and Walt. Although the park has a Hollywood theme, connecting to one of Walt's Iconic creations is a key point for me.
I am a huge Disney fan and go often, but I am also apart of the generation who grew up with the sorcerer hat being the icon. It was devastating to me.
I love the sorcerer’s hat. My first trip was in 2005 and I have pictures of it and the Mickey water tower. Sad the backlot tour closed, that was awesome too. The great movie ride was amazing and I’m devastated they closed it. I had no idea until it was already closed.
I miss the giant sorcerer hat at Hollywood studios. Hope that might be great memories since I was younger.
Love #3! You’re the only content creator to suggest that Mickey’s Runaway Railway should be in the Animation Courtyard and not in place of The Great Movie Ride!
Ya cause i love the great movie ride even tho i never been to it
It was a mistake to remove the Great Movie Ride but it was also a mistake to take on TCM as a sponsor. This resulted in the end sequence being edited to death, much to the detriment of the ride.
It would have been better to lengthen the sequence than to remove all the wonderful clips.
Even though the Sorcerer’s Hat was just a pin trading area, it did provide an Icon for the Park. It should never have been removed, I say this as someone who, as an adult, attended the Park since the beginning. I was never aware that the Chinese Theater was intended to be the “icon” for the Park and did not feel it was a loss when it was covered.
Love the way you talk ,I’ve been watching you for 3 years
It hasn’t hit the parks yet but I’m willing to bet Genie+ will go down as one of their biggest mistakes of all time
Don't even forget about how disney treated Spectromagic and left the magic Kingdom without a night time parade. And their only original night time parade!
Thanks for stepping up and voicing your opinion, TPM. Agree 💯. Excellent vid. 👍✅
Please never stop making videos! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really hope you make more Universal Studios videos I really like when you cover that even though you have only covered it a few times.
He should make A Universal studios video regarding the new Nintendo world
Just a huge thanks to you. Every time I feel down I come to your Disney Beat series, you’re so happy and enthusiastic and it’s so contagious. 👍
I miss Push! I remember I had a really fun conversation with him!
Thanks for this video TPMvids 😆. I thinks that the biggest mistake of Disney is hyperspace Mountain at Disneyland Paris #bringbackthemoon
Fantastic video as always TPM! I know the secret.
Disney needs to bring back shows like Fantasmic from before the pandemic it really was great ending the day with live entertainment!
You are so right, and never really thought about it. Live entertainment should be a must. I guess it can reduce attraction wait times. Bring back, “Rap and Roll in Magic Kingdom and “ Mickey’s Rockin Celebration in Epcot’s Odyssey Building. Perfect for kids and kids at heart who want to dance their energy out, cool off from the heat, and have shelter when it rains.
my issues with IP's is the addition of them to resorts as well when they don't necessarily belong. It's fine in small doses or even when contained to value resorts but I'm not a fan of such major IP placement in resorts (ie. moana at polynesian or incredibles at contemporary). I know I'm an adult in disney but I don't need to look at disney characters 24/7. I don't need to have pirate flags in my room because I'm staying at caribbean beach. I'd much rather be immersed in the resort's theming itself and appreciate that. That's why Old Key West has always been one of my favourites. It doesn't have to dress up at something it isn't to make it immersive.
Speaking of live entertainment ; in Epcot, and I’m going back quite a long time, there was Future Corps, that performed mostly around the Spaceship Earth area. What happened to them?
I was a big fan myself, having marched Drum and Bugle Corps, and was extremely excited to see that art form as a part of Disney!
Well first off: I know the secret. And second I think the switch from Soarin over CA to Around the World at DCA was a big mistake. The original film fit so well into that park and while it needed some pixie dust, it has still held up upon every remastered return it’s done in the past few years!
I agree, but I do think the new film has its place. Maybe it would have been better at the more globally themed EPCOT while DCA kept the original California themed film.
@@Alex20114I totally agree. Put World in Epcot and California in DCA, it just makes sense that way!
Woooooo new Disney beat video I’ve been waiting all week for this love your vids
Sadly with Chapek running things, it's all about raising prices, reducing the guest experience, removing the perks, and extras from booking a Disney resort. Yet Disney demands people come to the parks.
Wah wah wah
@@asudevil316 You're O.K with the rising prices and not getting the full experience? Really?
@@ARoamingPhotographer you are getting the full experience. The experience is actually better since standby lines will be shorter since Fastpass caused standby to be artificially long. Plus unlike Universal they are not charging $200 a person for it
@@asudevil316 I am also including the small perks, the street characters in Holly Wood studios, live entertainment, the rise in parking based on which hotel you're going to rest your head. Magic Bands are no longer a perk, and not to mention the massive increase in food and merchandise pricing.
@@ARoamingPhotographer live entertainment is coming back, again we are in the middle of a global pandemic. Second, all resorts in the US charge for parking. Third, magic bands are being replaced with the app so nothing is being lost. So nothing you said matters or is true
I love your videos I’ve never been to Disneyland or Disneyworld but will all of your videos I feel like have
Thanks 😊
Its always a good day when TPMvids uploads
I wish he would upload more often
I've met Push in the Disney Studios park in Paris about 5 years ago. Funny little trashcan, it started following a guest after they passed Push, who had hidden next to a regular trashcan. The reaction of the guest was priceless, as Push chased them for a while. It was hilarious.
Disney’s kind of making me mad. Genie passes, splash mountain retheming, and the great movie ride being replaced. It’s really sad. The park just feels different. I feel like it’s lost a little bit of its magic.
Besides the Genie passes, Disney has to keep moving with the times.
@@nanomacaron232 how would you feel if they decided to remove Haunted Mansion or Pirates of the Caribbean? They are old attractions, after all. Some things are iconic, and should remain, though updating technology and redoing parts to keep fresh and make relevant is good.
@@jheiden2 I get that but getting upset and complaining won’t make Disney change anything. Change is a normal thing and we can’t do anything but learn to accept it
Absolutely agree !!
@@nanomacaron232 I agree, up to a point. But unless we make ourselves heard, they will assume nobody cares.
Push The Talking Trashcan always reminds me of that SNL skit with Emily Blunt. “Would you like an ooey gooey yummy yummy delicious quesadiLLa” 😂
I have never been to WDW so I would have loved to go on the great movie ride, it was iconic. The Mickey & Minnie ride looks great and so cute and pretty but I agree with you they could have put it somewhere else to save the great movie ride and added movie scenes to the great movie ride. I think a big mistake is changing the theme of Splash Mountain sorry but that is my favorite ride for it being a water ride and I ❤️ the theme. Zip a dee doo dah is iconic and I ❤️ the fact they used old animatronics and I ❤️ all the animatronics it has. The princess and the frog I don't think will fit the theme right where its located, they could have made it a seperate ride. I am so sad to see the theme change. I am not ready to say goodbye to the song of the south theme. :(
Never get's old watching these. Keep up the good work!
i always look forward to your videos :D they are always amazingly edited
Thank you so much🤗
@@TPMvids I also love your videos to and the last time that I was at Disney World was back in 2010 and I miss a lot of the stuff that is gone now including the backlot tour at MGM Studios i still call it that and etc etc.
Push, Great Movie Ride, and Sorcerer Hat I miss so much. 😭 Also, Wishes- I’ll never get over it.
I've always thought of the great movie ride(now mickey and minnies runaway railway) theatre as the icon of the park-
Probably adding Pandora the World of Avatar to Animal Kingdom. I mean, (prior to the buyout of 20th Century Fox), having a land based on a franchise that you didn't own didn't make as much sense considering the sequels were years and years away. Plus, they had other options at the time. Like actually building Beastly Kingdome or from one of their upcoming movies, like Wakanda from Marvel's Black Panther.
The few reasons it made sense to build Pandora was the location as they could run it late at night (away from the animals) and it had the environmental angle going for it. But that new land didn't really satisfy the mythological promise in Animal Kingdom's opening statement (plus not a whole lot of people don't remember the plot of the film just the world of the film.) And we still have the dragon from Beastly Kingdome on nearly all of the signage, trashcans, and ticket booths of the park, not the Banshees from Pandora.
But after watching some video walkthoughs and foodie spotlights on the new land, it looks nice to eat there (especially the hamburger bao buns and build your own bowls). I'll visit the new land and try the new food, and go on the new rides. Though, I would rather have had either Beastly Kingdome, some other property more memorable (and recognizable), or just the campground with new food and ride options.
Everyday Tpm uploads you know it gonna be a good day and go back to watch his past vids
So glad to hear you enjoy the videos😁
I agree!
Well, I was a tour guide at the Great Movie Ride so I am super bummed that closed. I worked there for 6 months and it was tough coming to the realization that I would never get to ride it again after all the hours I spent there.
This video is sort of relevent now after Disney announced the new Genie Pass which pretty much nobody likes.
I like it.
@@chuckecoop4082 Yeah I know some people do but most don’t.
I love it I’m excited I love maxpass st Disneyland so much better than WDW terrible Fp system so I’m glad this is basically an updated maxpass for both parks
@@LatinFratGuy1 Yeah
It WOULD have been a nice update if they had left fastpasses free and left ALL the rides available without an upcharge.
Yeah virtual queues are hard to get used to, but I do understand where they are coming from. But honestly, the worst change for me is that you can't really be spontaneous anymore. You almost always have to pre plan for rides and meals, especially the more popular places. And you spend a lot of time on your phone. It almost doesn't feel like a vacation anymore.
What Disney needs to deal with the big line - ups is to simply have more attractions. When I went in 2008 they had over 10 billion guest. In 2018 when we went back I heard they had 20 billion a year. That's a big increase and they did not offer enough new attractions. Worse is the fact that some of the new stuff replaced old attractions, so no gain in numbers. In other cases they just closed an attraction and left it vacant. the Stiches great escape building still does not have a new attraction. The inability of some new rides to have a high number of riders an hour is also a problem, so we get stuck with the virtual crew bull. I still love Disney but they have work to do.
I love your vids! That’s literally all I watch on you tube!
Ah, my favorite time on Sundays. TPM vid time!!
Same and yes!
Yessss
I can definitely see your point, but I never saw the hat centerpiece or the push trash can actually. Jeez what did I miss?
I definitely hope they do more live performances. The great movie ride was good but I like the new Mickey Mouse runaway railway better because there were some Sean’s in the movie ride that scared me, so maybe that’s one of the reasons they replaced it. Anyway another great video, love ya TPM!
Really would love to see a night time parade return to WDW. Ever since they removed Spectromagic and Main Street Electrical, it feels like something is missing each night in MK
I kid you not, I went to Disneyland the day the Jungle Cruise reopened. I had the victuals queue open for ten minutes. By the way, you can join it at 7am and 12pm. So less that 30 seconds after the clock hit twelve, the virtual queue for the new Star Wars ride was filled up. Over 200 groups for that ride filled up in less than 30 seconds.
. . . I honestly still can't believe that happened.
Also, the moblie order. I can't even with it. The food portion sizes are unbelievable small. It's extremely rare if a food place at Disneyland doesn't have moblie order. You literally don't get a choice if you want to use it or not. So pretty much you're forced to pay for food with your card.
I'm not going back for a while.
TPMvids is something to look forward to
I was born in 2003 and grew up with the hat in Hollywood Studios. Still very sad they took it down. Now to me it looks like there's a huge gap in the center of the park. Also miss the old Hollywood Studios and the Osborne Lights
The great movie ride was iconic but ever since it closed the park doesn’t have the vibe it used to
With the closure of The Studio Backlot Tour as well and the inclusion of Toy Story Land and Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge, Disney’s Hollywood Studios (MGM Studios on its opening day) is starting to feel less like a theme park dedicated to educating tourists on the magic of movie making and more like their other parks full of IPs.
Muppet Mobile Lab is still around isn’t it?
I went to Epcot in late July, and it was still on the maps, but I didn’t stop to see it
I hope it’s still there, I love the muppets and always enjoyed the mobile lab show
Well...screwing over the cast members when the pandemic started is one. And the new Genie+ app is going to be a nightmare for people who don't have endless money. The biggest mistake of all though is Disney forgetting about the people who made the company what it is, and totally losing their way.
This is actually the best channel on UA-cam
What about Genie plus lightning Lane
Hey Tpm vids I love your channel I just want to tell you that I am going to D23 in November and I am really excited
I also loved the Hat at MGM Studios to and another thing that the company has done in my opinion was getting rid of the movie making aspect of MGM Studios cause when I was there in 06 through 2010 I loved that we got to go behind the scenes of movie making and etc etc the only thing at the park that still does it is the Indiana Jones Stunt show.
I also loved the Education aspect of Epcot at the time it was awesome my favorite attraction at Epcot is Soarin it was amazing with the score the scents everything I'm also a Entertainment person I love the show's and the character meet and greet's so cutting back on the Entertainment is one of the worse things that the company has done in my opinion.
I love all ur videos they help me a lot on Disney world
The lack of entertainment bothers me. It really takes away from the idea of escaping reality. Doesn't help you're paying more for less. When will Disney learn?
I didn't know the ratatouille ride wasn't I other parks....went on it like 5 times in a row a few years back in Paris and it quickly became my fave ride ever!! It's so adorably fun.
The problem is they've gotten away from being an immersive theme park and imagineering and moved to just slapping a IP on it. Then on top of that, raise the price and cut entertainment. Even EPCOT will be over run with IP's soon
Here are my thoughts on this list; 1, I never ran into Push myself when I went to Disney World and never knew he had existed for the longest time, but he seemed like a cute and fun character. 2, the IPs. I myself don't have a problem with more IPs being introduced into the Parks, especially if its from movies that I love and/or the attractions based on the IPs are good. I understand why some people might be upset at the IPs, if they replace beloved rides and if some people just don't like the IP in the first place. Frozen Ever After is probably one of the best examples of the IP witch hunt in my opinion as one, Frozen is a polarizing Disney film as it is and two, it replaced a ride that showcased the Norway spirit that was in a Park that is more or less the educational Park, at least the World Showcase part. Like you said, though, IPs have been part of the Parks for many years and as sad as it is to see attractions go, Walt Disney himself said something about the Parks always changing and evolving. And change is something that we won't always understand and like. 3, Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway replacing The Great Movie Ride. Totally get the reasoning for this, that it likely would have been a better decision to put MAMRR elsewhere. I do feel that It's right for Mickey to have his own ride, as he's the freaking mascot of Disney itself! But I also feel that The Great Movie Ride deserved to stick around. I know there's people who make the argument that the ride was outdated, which I always find it disheartening when people call classic rides "outdated." (Like Splash Mountain being called outdated) The Great Movie Ride celebrated films, which yes are old today and won't be getting any younger, but films that were groundbreaking and important to not only film history but history in general. Just because something isn't new and hip or whatever doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable and its
important to pay homage to the past, and to see where we have come from. 4, the Mickey Sorcerer Hat. When I went to Disney World and to Hollywood Studios, the Hat was there. So I kind of always associated HS with the Mickey Sorcerer Hat. I can't say I am particularly devastated to see it go, but part of me thinks that it would make more sense for the Chinese Theater to be the Park icon for HS? 5, the virtual queues. I think everyone can agree that it's great to not have to stand in a line for a ride. But I can
see the virtual queues being annoying, as its not like you can go up to the ride and wait in the line to experience it. You have to try and hope that you can snag a boarding pass to have the chance to ride. Waiting in a line that is hours long sucks, but at least you know (fingers crossing the ride doesn't break down and gets closed) that you will get to do it. I personally think that something like the lineless queue over at Universal Studios for Jimmy Fallon is better (I know that attraction isn't popular, but I do think the concept of a lineless queue is good)
As for changes to the Parks that I am not a fan of? For one, how the Cinderella Castle at Disney World looks now. I get them redesigning it for the 50th anniversary makes sense, and people would argue that the Cinderella Castle is more colorful now, not drab. But to me, it looks like veering to the Sleeping Beauty Castle look, and I liked that the Cinderella Castle did its own thing. One of the only other changes I am not gung ho about is the retheming of Splash Mountain. I do like The Princess and the Frog and its kinda cool to see Disney's last 2D animated film getting some more attention. But I have wanted to ride on Splash Mountain as it is now for a long time, and I do like the theming. Yes it is based off a problematic film, but the ride for the most part is not touching on what made the source material conversational. Just a tale about a hungry fox and bear trying to eat a rabbit, whose cleverness and wit saves him. The theme song of the ride is probably what one would call the most problematic element in the ride (aside from being based off Song of the South in the first place) At the least, I wish I could have gotten to ride Splash Mountain once.
Getting rid of free fastpass !!
Im not a disney fan or anything but i love this channel
One of the worst moves Disney made was switching the Aladdin show to frozen 😭 the Aladdin show was just so good! And it was always funny because they would have new jokes. The frozen show you can see once and never really need to see it again 🤷🏻♀️
I was so mad that they did that! Not only did I LOVE the Aladdin show, but I was already totally over Frozen because I was so sick of it being shoved in my face all the time, just like I got sick of High School Musical when it was being overly hyped.
TPM VIDS, l admit that you have a good point about the Great Movie Ride being replaced, especially since I've never had been on the ride itself I would love to ride it! I have never been to any of the Disney Theme Parks too be honest, but I would love to someday! Love your work by the way, keep it up, your doing great 👍!!!!🌹💐🌷💞💕💖🎩🎀
So glad they got rid of it. Way too long and mostly had nothing to do with Disney at all
@@kevinbarquest3974 mostly yes, but they did add Mary Poppins to the ride! So I see your point but I would've love to see the ride! Especially to see the audio animatronic of Gene Kelly!!!
Mom never let me interact with PUSH, which makes me even sadder to see him go :(
That’s a bit odd.. why wouldn’t she let you? It’s Disney for gods sake lol
@@KingOfGaymes no clue. Guess she didn't want me going near the crowd?
