Can finally stop reading about transit and road capacity in Toronto and focus on my main dopamine hit - solving theme park capacity issues.
Part 1 is out!
I had to split it up because it's such a big topic. Good news is Part 2 is already half written

Honestly the marketing for Tron Ares has driven me insane wjat what feels like months, it's never ending. I actively hate this movie now, I get they are desperate for it to succeed. But you know don't cast Jared Leto and maybe I'd check it out...

Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is 45% deleted
the attraction has been closed 21 days, @bioreconstruct.bsky.social has been doing an amazing job tracking this demolition, we believe that large portions near the loop will come out much quicker, will any of it be left in another 3 weeks?

Went back to the original architectural concept art as all the clues were there, and the cartoon map is just dumb. I feel this is a reasonably accurate layout for the land although i i will continue to refine it, "we've lost the cooling effect of the water at Haunted Mansion queue" - Bullshit

Not adding a W to the list, there's already enough letters from the back end of the alphabet
People in love with their AI chat bots have a name now and it’s NOT robosexual, which I thought was great. It’s “wiresexual” and they have a flag.

Looks like UDX are getting ready to grade some of the other parcels they own. Jury is out on whether it's a hotel or something else. This is not a rumour. Cos apparently I need to say that now

HHN is overrated, and a lot of the culture around it seems to be about being seen rather than the experience

So on the new concept Art they have set the whole building back, gives a bigger gap for Rise. They have also made part of the queue external with tarps which is fun in Florida #wdw
