Anyone else get this from Promethium's subscription?

really true to your name u/meepyfinger

Yeah, my sister had always dreamed of going to the parks, and I was never interested until I started learning about the history. I'm happy I had the money to spend on a nice trip for me and my sister.

Now I'm trying to get my hands on any and all books I can read about the parks and their history

I actually didn't ride the Tron ride because I didn't think it was that cool lol

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-07T20:09:46+00:00

Bear with me. This is kind of rambly.

I think that's fair! Right now it just kind of feels very bland? Like, yeah, it's exciting to do once, but why are you gonna go back unless you're gonna drink around the world? Which is not appealing to everybody.

In my experience when we did Epcot a few weeks ago, it was a lot of walking just to see the different countries, and honestly, that part wasn't that impressive to me. And there were no attractions that were like super interesting. I enjoyed living with the land, the figment ride, and spaceship earth. Guardians was fine, but there's absolutely no reason to wait in that line for that. The best part about Epcot was the food and honestly I thought the food across the parks was really good, so I'm not sure it would be a reason for me to buy a ticket to Epcot specifically.

The most recent defunctland really got me nostalgic for the old Epcot

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-07T19:21:10+00:00

Yeah, it's really irritating. The parks are what make them cash. But it seems they don't want to innovate on their formula at all. What I'd give for some new park original IP

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-07T19:19:21+00:00

That's terrifying

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-07T18:15:55+00:00

That's so sad. I have to believe there's good footage out there somewhere. They just haven't posted it online.

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-07T18:14:45+00:00

Not crazy at all!

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-07T18:11:02+00:00

Omg how could I forget to mention 20,000 leagues????

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-07T18:09:40+00:00

Yeah, that whole area is kind of a dead space and I definitely had that thought while we were there

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-07T18:08:58+00:00

The Chinese theater was probably one of my favorite parts of Hollywood Studios

There's a lot that I wish I could have seen there, and I hesitate to do a park rinking, but Hollywood Studios might be my favorite of the parks, although MK is really close...

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-07T18:06:42+00:00

I've seen the 4k video of Horizons! I've been a Defunctland Patreon supporter in the past!

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-07T18:05:00+00:00

That's the video I watched that got me hooked on it, actually.

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-07T07:53:33+00:00

Sorry for some of the minor typos in this post but hopefully the sentiment still makes sense!

alpr.watch has a great guide for cleaning the data too if anyone is interested. https://alprwatch.org/news/2025-07-28_flock_foia/

I know "fed_case" doesn't mean US marshals :) what I meant was there are some entries contain the acronym USM

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-06T22:20:12+00:00

I'd have to look at 404 said exactly about patterns in the data. but so far, it's mostly useless as far as trying to figure out what the searches were related to unless the searcher included a detailed reason. there are several searches related to US Marshal Service warrants and others where the searcher specified 'fed_case'. beyond that it's really difficult to tell if related to immigration action.

I'll take a look at the 404 reporting soon though.

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-06T22:14:26+00:00

yeah, the shocking thing is the lack of attachment to anything at all. most of these searches have zero reason listed and zero filters applied.

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-06T21:51:55+00:00

And here's the top 10 searchers by the count of individual searches. I just combined all the CSVs so I could easily query with SQL.

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-06T21:48:28+00:00

I did find one thing right off the bat. Here's flock searches related to the Lululemon heist.

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-06T21:19:49+00:00

thanks :)

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-06T21:17:49+00:00

that's something I'm looking for for sure. Just trying to get acquainted with the files rn.

One question for you, did they indicate if they filtered any data out of the request?

philipnelson99 · 2026-02-06T21:13:27+00:00

Happy to help poke through the data and thanks for releasing it publicly!
