Thereâs was a huge difference already between the first Star Tours and the new Rise of the Resistance ride, which was pretty next gen for a ride and is probably the best ride in Disneyworld that isnât a rollercoaster style thing.
Man poor Epcotâs old and busted rides are like county fair level stuff today.

Soarinâ is Epcot, isnât it? I think it still stands up.

Oh, yea, Soarinâ is fun the first time⊠one family member wanted to ride it 4 times (at two i had to personally draw the line and let them knock themselves out). Though honestly it could be better, itâs not quite high resolution enough for a pixel peeping nerd.
Man, they ruined Norway. It used to be⊠Norway, but they seemed to have downgraded it into a half-baked Frozen tie-in. The fun troll ride is now completely weird and nonsensical Frozen themed, but there are only a couple of actual objects, most of it is just projectors and screens, and the whole thing feels budget Disney (and they ran out of budget), and they turned the cool stave church into ⊠I guess? something about Norse pantheon, because Marvel/Thor/Vikings?
Most of the rides in Epcot just seem too old now, and to be honest theyâre ripping it all apart. The front half of Epcot is basically a construction zone. Itâll probably be several years before itâs refurbished. The contrast between the money poured into Star Wars over at Hollywood studious couldnât be more stark. Even Magic Kingdom, tbh, felt to be in better nick.
France is still fun. Got to watch a Belgian tourist argue in English with a French waiter over every single thing they ordered.
Theyâre not all bad. Space and Test Track are relatively new. But thatâs about it. I still like Spaceship Earth (the big golf ball), but I hear theyâre totally redoing that soon. They need to do something with what used to be Horizons (I loved that ride when Epcot first opened), and the old Universe of Energy is becoming the new GotG ride. The Living Sea (?) probably wonât change in the near future, but doesnât really need to. The ârideâ is just a kids thing through a Nemo world, but you can walk right in near the gift shop now - they got rid of any pretense of being underwater long, long ago. The Land probably wonât change either - Soarinâ is fine (they may update the film every now and then), and the boat ride through the food growing area suits the needs just fine. Imagination? Yeah - thatâs been dead ever since the original ride was taken down. The original ride was at least whimsical. Every ride since then has just sort of sucked. And they need a new 4D movie over there.
For the Showcase Lagoon part - yeah, Norway became Frozen. Norway dropped their support (financial, anyway) of that so Frozen it became (although the dropping of support may have come after that). Donât know if the ânewâ ride is better than Maelstrom was, but I hated the original ride (and, for the record, I LOVE Norway the country - would go back there in a heartbeat). Mexico hasnât really changed, although the restaurants are different now, and not as good as they used to be (the indoor one is a lot more upscale - not to the level of the outdoor (not fast food) one, but not quite the selection of Mexican comfort food it was). Nothing else has really changed. I think China and Canada have new(er) movies in their 360 theater. The big change there is the Ratatouille ride being built in France. They really needed to add 2 or 3 more countries there (thereâs room), but they just never got around to it.
Donât have an overall point. Just rambling. Oh - and the skyway is kind of fun (between Epcot, Hollywood Studios, the Caribbean resort, and the newer resort that direction - Riviera, I think?).

Somebody watched to much Faces of Death when they designed that table

Oh ghod. Thanks for reminding me.
You havenât seen Temple of Doom?!

I have, but the monkeys werenât alive!
I donât know how much of Faces Of Death was real vs. faked, but my brother and I watched it when we were young, and the only thing I remember about it was that damned monkey table. I sincerely hope that part was faked. It turns my stomach just seeing these images.
I believe there were âsequelsâ to that video. We were not tempted to watch them. Fake or not, that monkey table was a traumatic experience.

Here I was thinking of a catâs paw coming out from the middle of your table and dragging food off into a hole and everyone went Temple of Doom with it.
Dude, youâre name is Shiva and you show us a table like the one in Temple of Doom. Of course we will think that!
Oh they made a table just for you
Order here (Japan)
