"Collect your things and get out" Completely justifiable Pete. Well done. Dreamfinder and Figment are some of my happiest childhood memories.
CCV Live thank god the people who like Figment are actually a much smaller population than they seem to think.
Tony Baxter made Figment. In the 80s.
He’s not Mickey.
@@Tsumami__ Figment is the top selling plush at Walt Disney World. So, it's you in the minority.
I recorded me singing angel on my shoulder by krystal today can you watch it and reply to me please like now?😀
Pete: "I'll take Vapid for $1000" ROTFL
I definitely learned from maelstrom. I took AP human geography freshman year of high school and the exam had a question about Norwegian industry that wasn't in my textbook but because of that ride, I knew they had an oil industry, so thanks maelstrom
Charles is a legend
Are we not going to acknowledge that the current Journey Into Imagination is at least better than the previous iteration from 1999? You know, the one that had zero Figment and the ride began with Eric Idle telling you that you suck at imagination?
I recorded me singing angel on my shoulder by krystal today can you watch it and reply to me please like now?😀
Charles and your commentary on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, I am getting you more and more! I like your style Kid! Keep it up!
I was so mad that Disney changed journey into imagination the original was so much better and memorable.
Kitsune Metal Reloaded it wasn’t Disney it was the commercially failing Kodak
They should just remake it to the original version of the attraction
I agree with Steve. The best thing about Maelstrom was that it was low-key. There was hardly ever a wait, so I could ride it easily. It was like the People Mover, or the boat ride in Mexico. Yes, Frozen is "better", but I almost never ride it because I'm not waiting in line, and I can't get a FastPass.
Sean saying, “That was a wild ride!” After Charles explained why Mr Toads is THE BEST made me laugh for a good 5 mins 😂😂😂
Why wouldn't they use the ruins of Cranium Command for Inside Out? It's still there rotting. Besides I can't be the only one who wants them to reopen the Wonders Of Life Pavilion.
RememberRobbyKrieger they are reopening it but no inside out, frozen or anything I hope. Nothing happening there
Epcot is banking on just conventions sadly :/ I heard they are redoing the area for something high tech basically Disney quest but refined but on steroids
I miss that wonders of life pavilion too. And the message of fitness and wellness was great. I also miss the old innovations, with all the 'future tech' that you could see and use.
@@meaganpr687 yeah
I would also make an argument for Horizons becoming Mission Space.
OMG I'm dying.. 😂😂 Sean #idontcareaboutculture
I still miss Mr. Toad and like you said, so glad it’s still at Disneyland. I often skip Pooh when I’m down at the park unless there is no wait and I’m killing time. However, I love Pooh’s Hunny Hut in Tokyo. If we had that it would be great, though I’d still miss Mr. Toad.
Wow, Charles made some outstanding good points. Well said.
I really like Winnie the Pooh, but I never got to experience Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. Sounds awesome, though.
lizciampa same for me
Still in California... Well 1/2 of it at least.
Go to Disneyland for Mr Toad it’s still there today, I never got to ride Mr Toad in Magic Kingdom tho
Pooh may not be considered a better ride for you, but it creates more revenue than Mr. Toad would based on merchandise, movies, and Crystal Palace. Mr. Toad also is not a world wide known IP like the princesses, fab 5, Pooh, etc. I think most children/ families would prefer "heffalumps" over Hell as you said.
I never cared for Mr. Toad
poor figment, never gets the respect he deserves ;-)
Michael not since the 90s
I've been binge watching these Disney videos so much cause I'm going to Disney world in March! I'm so excited😁
Alison Gedraitis me too! 3 more weeks woo!
I like Soarin’ Around the World better than CA ... but I’ve always requested the middle (or waited for it) 😉 Agree they should fix that. Sounds extremely disappointing.
Fun Fact: It is shocking how popular Duffy the Bear is at Tokyo Disneyland. We’re talking 3 stores plus a Meet & Greet.
I loved Maelstrom. The majestic fjords-- even the movie at the end. I look forward to riding Frozen but definitely will miss the old.
😂😂 “collect your things and get out” 😂😂
I think people forget the second version of imagination. Almost the same ride as it is now but with no figment. There was such backlash against removing him they had to close the ride after being only open for a year or two and put that patched together version we have now. For those who don’t get figment, it’s because you never saw him in the attraction he was designed to be in.
Figment and Bing Bong would be the best of friends
I love Charles' take on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride! What a great ride.
So glad that you guys are so open and honest without being afraid of the backlash. It’s refreshing
omg this was hilarious xD really loved this video.
Sean is really naive and I like it, he is kinda honest and I don't find anything wrong about that.
1:07 good joke by Pete went unnoticed. "Thought youd be used to that by now"
It is so cathartic to hear you all talking about Soarin'; it felt like I was the only person who thought this. I live in So Cal, so I would go to Soarin' in California Adventure - it made sense that it was about California. I really do miss it being about California, with actual film, no crappy CGI or curved mountains or towers, not having to ask to sit in Concourse B to get decent seats, and no overwhelming smells of dirt or cloying jasmine (where's the citrus, the pine?)... that's one ride I would change back in a heartbeat if I could.
Sean Faulk...you're FIRED LOL! A purple dinosaur?!!!
I'm with Kathy! Keep Figment around! I don't see why they can't turn it back into Figment and Dreamfinder; they didn't lose the rights to Dreamfinder or anything. Just knock down the stupid Disney/Pixar Film Festival (which I can watch at home, thank you very much) and expand the attraction back to its original glory. Same with ImageWorks!
OMG, I was there at Epcot Opening, I loved Figment and Dreamfinder Original! That ride inspired me to change careers when I retired and become a writer! It was that literature segment to got into my head, and now I AM A WRITER, all thanks to Figment and Dreamfinder, I agree "Institute of Imagination CRAP"! I was and have been made at Disney for that for DECADES!
Just rode Mr. Toad last week in DL, and it is better than Pooh. (The ride broke down and we had to walk through the attraction to get out!) Pooh is my least favorite dark ride in MK. The dark rides at DL are SO much better than WDW. Alice and Wonderland, Snow White, Pinocchio.
Two comments: If a commentator has no idea who Figment is, why is this person giving his opinion of the attraction? Secondly, his comment about not being interested in the culture of Norway shows he also does not understand the idea behind The World Showcase.
Tammy Eallonardo 👏👏👏👏👏
Great episode!! Loved the different opinions and debate! :)
Gahhh!! I'm such a huge fan of Figment! I love the upside-down portion and the magic trick at the end!! I'd be sad to see it go, but then again I never experienced it with Dreamfinder so maybe I'd feel differently having that comparison 🙂
The more I watch Charles the more I really like his style. :) Great work all :)
Great show guys! Figment is the embodiment of your imagination. He's not a dinosaur or a dragon. He is the example of the lack of limitations to a creative anything you want. More specifically what a child's mind can create. He's an imaginary friend a child may think up.
Accurate list, I so badly wish we had Mr. Toad back.
Maelstrom was always my favorite in Epcot,Frozen belongs in fantasy land.Blasphemy.
I miss the original Journey Into Imagination. However, I do think the Imagination Institute is an interesting concept, and could have been successful if they had executed it in a different way. The Dreamfinder should have become the doctor, and they should have kept it closer to the original, but with a slightly more scientific approach.
I agree with Pete soaring over California is way better
I loved maelstrom!! I agree with Charles!
I actually enjoyed Journey into Imagination, but I think that was because I had heard such bad things and didn’t know what to expect. The surprises were cute, and the older gentleman who was loading the ride vehicles was an absolute gem. But going back to ride it again, I could see it wearing thin on me.
Liam D'Arcy I actually enjoyed it as well. I never experienced the original though.
I LOVE WIND IN THE WILLOWS. I am that advocate
This is some great subject matter. I agree with Charles. The reason Epcot is my wife's and my favorite park is its uniqueness. The concept for "Frozen" is fine, but not for Epcot. MK or HS. NOT EPCOT! I just fear that the warp speed that Disney is blindly throwing IP around the parks is that it might change Epcot to just "another" Disney park. The IP is fine, just make its placement and use make sense. And, as one poster said, I disagreed with everything Sawn said, lol. No big deal, just disagreed. Yes, "Frozen" brings people to the Norway pavilion. Yes it thins the crowds at other attractions. BUT, still, you can accomplish that by making the IP and non-IP attractions pertinent to the pavilion, Land, or section of whatever area/park it's being added to.........I totally agree that Sorin' Over CA is MUCH better than Sorin' Over the World. Not because it's CA, but because the video/3D in the World version is horrid. Cheap, crappy, and distorted. I would've loved to have seen Sorin' Over America. smh........I love the Winnie the Pooh ride, but Mr. Toad was better. I agree. I would like to see BOTH attractions at Fantacyland, not one there at the expense of the other. Charles' assessment was great and I wholeheartedly agree with him........GREAT show! I really loved this episode. I look forward to the attractions that were bad a made better.
Yeah
Love this show! Our first trip back to wdw was in March 2018 and I watched every show to get as much info as possible! Thank you guys for the content I miss seeing Steve in the show
I didn't even know Maelstrom was there when we visited before. You can't miss what you didn't know existed. :D I do agree about Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
I'm 29 and I remember the Wind in the Willows just fine! I loved the book/movie as a kid. That being said, the WDW ride TERRIFIED me as a child so when it was turned into Pooh I wasn't pressed. We went to DL in 2015 though and were able to ride Mr. Toad and I found it much more fun and enjoyable than I did as a kid.
Mr. Toad is in Disneyland because Wind in the Willows was Walt’s favorite book. It must remain forever because it has a great link to Walt. I think it was a mistake to replace it in Magic Kingdom.
Replacing the Wonders of Life pavilion attractions with a Seasonal event center for Food & Wine/Flower & Garden Festival. I wouldn't have minded if they had updated those attractions or replaced them with new attractions, but they were literally replaced with event space that is only used for half the year.
For those impatient people:
Extra Terrestrial Alien Encounter to Stitches Great Escape
Journey Into Imagination
Maelstrom to Frozen Ever After
Soarin’ Over California to Soarin’ Around the World
Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Bravo Charles! Amazing job
Pooh is one of my favorite rides in the Magic Kingdom. Admittedly though I never experienced it as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
Charles- your assessment of Mr. Toad's nearly brought me to tears. That is 100% why it blew my mind and rocked my world as a 5-year-old. Worth the flight out to California.
Horizons was such a masterpiece, it's a shame it wasn't on the list- but being the total knock-down transformation that it was, I can understand why you left it off.
Seriously just realized why my family and I loved Mr Toad's Wild Ride!
Now I'm pissed!
Figment?? Who doesn't know Figment? He's a figment of your imagination! Oh well! -- But it's funny seeing 4 grown men arguing over Mr. Toad vs. Winnie the Pooh! TOO FUNNY!
Sean is such a blonde.
Sean is highly entertaining even though some of the stuff he says bring out the "what" factor in his cohosts. He's very childlike and it's quite endearing
Really enjoyed everybody's thoughts on these rides..great show!
I have a complaint about Space Mountain. I prefer the pre-renovation time before they put in that ceiling over the queue. You could see up into the ride and see the coaster cars zipping back and forth overhead and it was so cool! Also, they had to add that safety wall on the People Mover track that also blocks some of the view of the ride :(
Horizons to Mission: Space was, by far, the worst change for me and it's not even close
Love your show! You guys are so informative while also being so very entertaining!!! 😊
Has anyone here rode Fly Over America?
Its a total soarin' knock off inside Mall Of America, but the funniest part is, its so much /better/ than soarin'. The smells are better, the shots are better, and they use water as well.
Charles just did the classic quiet cool guy mic drop.
100% agree on Soarin' Over the World, especially the heavy use of CGI. The entire Taj Mahal scene looked fake. Every single thing in that scene screamed render. I didn't mind the polar bears, and the elephants were ok I guess, but if you have to render the entire scene what's the point? With the original Soarin' I felt like I was there, but with the new one I feel like I'm watching a movie. And I don't need to go all the way to Disney to watch a movie.
Stephen Kazmierczak they could not film the Taj Mahal that why it has CGI. Look up the Taj Mahal on google
Purplefire0796 a quick scan of the Wikipedia page didn't show anything about disallowing external video of the place, but if that's the case I would have just chosen a different site in India, one that could have been filmed.
My cousin went there and told us no one could film there. I don't think you'd want to anyway because apparently the line to see the place is huge and wraps around the building a few times. Honestly they should have just filmed some other famous location
Good! Stay out of the line and make it shorter for the rest of us.
Its because the original was FILMED hands down. Practical effects are always better than digital period.
Here we are in 2022, still waiting for a replacement for Stitches Great Escape. I love watching these old episodes to see what came true
I hardly remember Alien Encounter, but i don't think i was ever on the Stitch version. I do prefer the original Soarin. I prefer Mr Toad over Winnie the Pooh. I like Frozen, but Maelstrom was classic and had a shorter wait time. I like Figment, but we need the original version back.
One of the funniest videos you guys have ever uploaded! I laughed so hard!
Duffy?
GET OUT!
😂😂
Kathy is screaming right now. "two tiny wings, eyes big and yellow, horns of a steer, but a lovable fellow! From head to tail, he's royal purple pigment, and there, voilà! You've got a Figment!" .
Ok, road Mr. TOAD's Wild Ride in Disneyland at age 8. Thought it was fantastic and thrilling. And those ride vehicles, bring it back to WDW.
Oh my gosh! Sean is getting so much hate in these comments! Be nice people! It’s ok not to agree with him and honestly he’s kind of the voice of the coming up generation who have no idea who mr toad is and don’t care about culture. They just want to be entertained Disney style. I don’t agree with him but I know almost everyone’s kids do and who are you going to Disney for? Your kids. If you want them to learn something, take them to a museum or actually go to a different country.
Speak for yourself on the upcoming generation.
We were there when the froZen meet and greet had a 6 hour wait. It was total madness
I agree that Mr. Toad's wild Ride should have stayed. But at Disneyland they took Country Bear Jamboree which I enjoyed.
You guys are adorable. Love you all. New favorite channel
That being said I miss the old Mexico pavilion ride "Rio Del Tiempo" which was really lovely and relaxing especially the ending. To me, it was way better than the one now, but if they put "Coco" there, that'll be awesome. Such a beautiful movie!
Yeah
Test Track should definitely be on this list. They really messed up one of my favorite attractions to the point that I don’t even bother waiting in the long line to ride it. Now Soarin’ (which I personally still love regardless of the updates) and Spaceship Earth are my only must do’s in EPCOT.
Jackson Benight I
I could talk about the Maelstrom for hours. I absolutely loved that ride and it made me incredibly sad when I learned they were replacing it with a movie that I felt was overrated.
Overrated isn't the correct term... Maybe dragged on. I didn't see the movie immediately when it came to theaters. I thought it was fabulous. The merchandise took forever to hit the stores and once it did .. it got ridiculous.
I only had the chance to ride Malstrom once and i was disappointed that it closed but I get the point why Frozen was put there. The ride isn't worse. I did like the ride a lot and if the line wasnt 90 mins long even during the fire works I would have rode it a second time.
I like both Sean and Charles. That said, Charles is the guy who would want me to use analytics to make my little league baseball team better. Sean would just tell me to scream "hit the ball!" at the players.
I really miss Maelstrom. I'm not into Frozen, but since they changed the ride, I wish they at least had the characters show some of the culture of Norway. Not like they did with the Mexican ride, but something nice to educate people about Norway and the Scandinavian cultures with a Frozen theme.
Oh Alien Encounter was a GREAT attraction...
Mr toads wild ride and snow white were the most vivid memories of my first trip to disney world at 5 years old. These two rides are what made me a disney fanatic! Also Snow whites scary adventure > 7 dwarves mine train.
No arguing with any of your choices. Great show today!!
I'm shocked that Horizons replaced by Mission: Space or Barnstormer at Wiseacre Farm replaced by Barnstormer Great Goofini isn't in here
Mr Toad was far superior.
Pooh in Tokyo is amazing, the one in Orlando not so much. If you have the opportunity to compare them it makes the Orlando Pooh even worse. For a start the Tokyo one is trackless and has fully animated characters.
Very true. Also, I'm pretty sure that the one in MK doesn't rock you around like Disneyland.
At least we still have Mr Toad in Disneyland, the original
I understand being upset about Toad no longer being at WDW, but there is a 0% chance any child gets off that ride thinking "I better make good decisions or I'm going to hell." It is mostly confusion, because it is a pretty incoherent and insane ride, which is what makes it fun. Pinocchio does a far better job of conveying a message about morality.
I love Sean. His honesty is golden.
Annylu Castro his ability to annoy is golden...
As a huge Winnie the Pooh fan, I'm glad it is there. It is so nostalgic for me. I went to Disney as a child but I don't remember the Toad ride to be fair.
if only disney tried as hard on all their rides as they did on the frozen one then maybe they wouldn’t have to change things so often
I never got to ride Mr. Toad's Wild Ride or the old Snow White ride. I wish I could have!
Mr Toad's ride was gone well before my first visit to Disneyworld but Charles has just sold the ride to me!! Loved his passionate defence of the ride..wonder if there's footage of the ride anywhere. Go Charles
I agree with your list but I want to add one more thing: Tom Sawyer's Island. The original format was so much more interactive and fun. We want the fort back, and teetering rock and the tree house and Injun Joe's caves. We would spend a whole day there. It was a great place for kids to actually play.
There are actually a lot of historical aspects of Norway in Frozen.
Shawn has the intelectual capacity of a 6 year old.
vidaurreta I miss the old Shaun.
MALstrom. Love Steve’s pronunciation here.
I’m surprised you didn’t include the changes in Test Track to make it more interactive with guests.
Guys, you need some input from people with kids. As a parent, seeing Disney taking the only semi-educational ride and plastering Frozen all over it is a giant step backwards.
Anyone with a brain should feel the same way. Hold on to Spaceship Earth, because it won't be here much longer at this rate. :(
Pete & Steve FTW with the best comments about Maelstom/Frozen
Originally, ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter was to feature the Alien from the Alien franchise. Do you think that would be better?
Connor Loewy Well, now that Disney owns Fox, we might actually get that when they finally close down Stitch
That would be nice, but I would like a new dark ride to be honest...
No need for TWO xenomorphs at WDW, now!
Where is the second one?
Oh, quite. I forgot the Great Movie Ride had closed. Suppose there are none now, so one wouldn't hurt after all.
