Developers are just chomping at the bit for Legoland to go belly up . When it does lots of Multi-million dollar Lakeside Mansions will take its place .

We had a Disney trip when I was a kid but universal ended up becoming our annual trip after the first potter park was added bc my sister loves it so much, and I love the marvel comics area and the rides ofc

The most important thing to remember is our modern concept of a Ghost is derived from Victorian literature; a combination of Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, and Washington Irving bringing about the modern concept of what we would call a “ghost.” This was formalized in the United States by the paranormal experiences witnessed during and after the American Civil War throughout the American South and as far north as Gettysburg. Ghosts as a concept had existed prior to the 1830’s, but the ghost would be defined by the Authors and experiences of the Victorian Era into what we’d see today. It is also why many of the mental images of a “ghost” almost universally involves late Georgian and Early-to-Mid Victorian Era iconography, whether that be clothing, accent, or the portrayal of the cemeteries themselves.

It's not "outdated". It's a "time capsule"

One thing I notice about the Disney parks' earlier versions is that they were a lot less IP-centered than they seem to be now. Space Mountain, the Jungle Cruise, and Pirates of the Caribbean for example weren't based on any existing Disney films, even if Disney would later adapt them into movies. I don't mind rides at Disney parks that are based on their movies (if anything, I expect such from a park with the Disney brand), but it would be nice if they went back to mixing in rides based on new stories instead of it all being IP-based.

This looks like small world, but somehow worse

you totally arent going to read this. personal anecdote.. When you mentioned pirates 4d i thought "this looks strangly familiar" and when you said "licensed out to other parts" it clicked "phantasialand". It never occured to me, for no real reasson, that "yeah this is licensed from somewhere else" or that it was THAT old. It, as you said, still plays in the "Schauspielhaus"(theater/playhouse) in the Berlin themed area and Funfact, instead of using a digital copy of the movie nowadays, it is still using 70mm film(likely ordering a new copy every couple years or so) I loved it when i was a child, but i havent watched it in years(as i just dont go to amusement parks often, or really at all.... despite living within a day trip distance from Phantasialand)

Disneyland is the perfect example how to have the best of both worlds. Most of their lands are original themes.with IP's sprinkled throughout, enough to add to the experience but not enough to detract from it while still getting the main purpose of the land. Then they only have one IP themed land in Galaxy's Edge, but since its tucked off in its own corner of the park, it's not an eyesore/park cohesion killer. Then again, this is just my opinion, but Disneyland is the only Disney park I confidently can say is up as one of my favorite parks in the world. Edit: Apply everyrhing I said to Animal Kingdom as well

Everytime I go to universal this ride is shutdown

I mourn the loss of the great movie ride every day. It pains me to think about whatever they ended up doing with that BEAUTIFUL xenomorph animatronic

If u don’t go as a kid your cooked

Hi! This is the 1st video i ever watched from you, i wanna ask what are your toughts on Legoland California?

FerrariLand is probably my least favorite park I've ever visited, although a lot of that is due to being next door to the excellent (albeit poorly operated) PortAventura. Apart from Red Force and some randomly nicely themed areas, there's nothing of note. It easily has the worst drop towers I've ever done, which especially suck when next door there is Hurakan Condor, one of the very best towers. And somehow it has the absolute worst Autopia style driving ride (Maranello Grand Race), which is insane given the theme of the park. And Racing Legends is def the worst simulator I've done. Barely moves as you mentioned.

Milton Hershey was one of the rare super rich guys who was mostly decent. Those types of people don't really exist in the upper echelons of rich people now

i worked at this place back when valhalla first opened, there was a tesla coil that was used as a lightning effect when testing in a car park it battered a near by car, i really hope this is still in the ride

I'm with you on this one. I grew up with that original ride but I don't understand the criticism of the new film comparee to the old. They're extremely similar, but I guess California is a bit more artsy and cinematic, which I can appreaciate from a deeper viewpoint, but I think Around the World's more grandeur vibe fits a theme park well, while getting the same point across. I will say I prefer the shot compositions of California, they are much more natural with sweeping landscapes and slow tilt downs to give you that feeling of gliding. But Around the World's cinematography is not to be underhyped, because the movements around Mt. Everest and the Great Wall are spectacular. This one may just be nostalgia bias for most people.

I always ride chocolate world to kill time abd for tradition

I went to a Legoland when I was around 13 or so and barely remember any notable stuff about it beyond it having some cool lego builds. Now nearly a decade later I went to Disneyland with my cousin with their 3 year old. The difference is night and day in just how much more memorable of an experience it was. We only went on kid-friendly rides but that whole experience felt magical. I get recency bias but it's clear that Disney was just a better experience and actually inticed me to want to go to it again in the future. Hell, I don't even need to compare it to Disneyland. I also went to Universal around the same time I went to Legoland, and I still remember small stuff about it compared to the latter.

This dated like blue milk.

I stopped at 13:21. I was hopimg to hear about the problems the title mentioned, not 13 minutes.descriving the scenes generically. Maybe I'll tune in another time to get to the actual meat of it instead.of.tour guide section

I would love a Zelda stunt show. I haven’t read/watch Lord of The Rings, but I have a feeling I’ll become obsessed with that so I’d probably enjoy that too.

I went today and a lot of this was fixed! It was a good experience!

Love your channel! Seeing Poseidon Entertainment across the screen elevates that!

When my family were going down to Disney World back in '89, my mom signed me up for the Animation class at the Disney Institute. We weren't well off by any means, but my parents had saved up hard for that trip and the extra bonus fee for that class (which they kind of lied to my older brother and sister about the costs so they wouldn't be jealous). But then, a few days before we left, we received notice that the class had been cancelled due to low enrollment. While that was quite a bummer for 11 year old me who once dreamed of being a Disney Animator, it became an even bigger bummer later. When we got home, we had a message on our home answering machine from the Institute wondering where I was. Never did get where the wires got crossed but I still wonder about how that class might have been. Very cool to see the experience mentioned in this video.

Went there early on when my children were the perfect age for it. At the time, prices and ride lines were much more reasonable for what the park offered and made the experiences incredibly enjoyable. We ended with annual passes for a few years.

Even if it is just a glorified food court I was actually excited when they announced the San fransokyo re theme because big hero 6 is one of my favorite Disney movies but seeing that it was super lazy and poorly done was really disappointing

If you look really close, the buildings are all in bad shape. Chipped paint painted over and over. Poor workmanship and below average landscaping. It’s a dump. That’s why you get the Walmart crowd and trash from Racine. I don’t trust the safety of ANY of these rides.

11:33 maybe it base off of the Mickey Mouse revue

Immediately got a Hershey’s ad on this. Subtle much?

Cosmic Rewind was one of most well received rides ever made

They should restore the river adventure to its former glory. They would have to replace every single moving part, but so be it.

Rhino Rally was super scary for me at one point, because the water had been drained, but the ride was still going. You could see that you were completely on a track, but at one point, you were in the middle of this giant empty pool, on this 1 line track, much smaller than your vehicle. It was probably completely safe, but my small child brain was afraid we would just fall into this big empty pool 😅

I’ve rode past this place so many times

Seems like a raptor show featuring owls would be an obvious choice. Plus then you can squeeze in actual education about owls.

My only real gripe would probably be the use of projection on animatronics and screen work like at the Fast and Furious intro. In earlier videos they looked pretty seamless. I've compared older videos to recent videos of attractions like F&F, Runaway Railway, 7 Dwarfs Mine Coaster, etc and I noticed how worn and obvious the effect now looks. I was wondering if theres any way they plan to fix or remedy this issue.

I just went to here on spring break

dinosaur world is also dog friendly! the admission price was totally worth it just to see my dogs reactions!

To be honest I did not like the minion blaster like you said before too many people on one screen and since I was in a folding electric wheelchair nothing big medium to small size I still had a switch to a manual wheelchair that they provided and it was bumping into the side of the conveyor belt

Let’s all just take a moment to be thankful that they didn’t put the MCU’s Thor and Loki in there.

10/10 thumbnail for this video (make it a standard-as in find appropriate fitting memes)

Holy shit, it's crazy to see a whole video essay on a amusement park so close to home. I resonate so much with the opinion on the parks Downfall. Excellent.

I loved the Atlantis ride at Seaworld Orlando, def need one like it (the log ride doesn’t fit the bill) Manta and Mako are really great rides, need one like it too And I completely forgot about the awesome shows from when I was a kid, really miss that!!! They apparently opened the sky ride back up but there an extra fee for it 💀

Had a friend that worked there, constantly under staffed and underpaid because they relied on students, management strained to the limit, really disappointing They had fun working Howl o Scream tho!

I’m sorry but for me I neeed theming to come back. It made experiences way more fun and immersive

The one time I’ve been to Walt Disney Studios (on a trip to Paris with a friend who’s an absolute Disneyhead and insisted on visiting both parks), it struck me that it just doesn’t feel like a stand-alone park at all. Disneyland Paris is essential a park and a half, with this tacked on as a sort of supplemental experience you’d only ever elect to visit if you’re on a multi-day trip and already saw all of the main park. It’s a very “let’s do this for a few hours before going to the airport” kind of experience, not a “I travelled all the way from Finland to see this” kind of experience. Compared to the only other Disneyland I’ve experienced, the Tokyo one, it’s night and day. Choosing between Disneyland and Disneysea is a real decision with no right answer, and you will have a great experience in either one even if you never see the other. Meanwhile, if you go to Paris and only see Studios, I’d be concerned about your mental health.

this really seems so much worse than the danish one, which from what I remember is honestly a very decent park, though it being in Denmark probably helps with pricing.

I don't know what they ordered, but I thoroughly enjoyed the food at T-Rex both times I went.

Ah yes, back when corporations could make ridiculous claims that something bad for you is "essential nutrition". Tobacco corporations once paid medical professionals to claim that cigarettes were good for you, cured illness and made you live longer.

It really boils down to transportation for me. My family doesn't go to this park anymore because we always left well before fireworks - otherwise you're waiting hours for the monorail/ferry if you don't stay at the Contemporary Resort. MK's transportation is not meant for the crowds it gets

teaching kids their opinions cant be wrong is why we live in such a weird world today
