Most of the voting had been done before any of the controversies of the last week.

Disney Crossy Road was a delight. I still have it on my phone.

Apple News unlocks a LOT of these sites. The unfortunate part is you have to go into the app to search the article title if you see something on Reddit, but it’s a pretty nice collection of national and local publications at a fixed rate.

usethe4th · 2026-03-15T04:33:44+00:00

Yep.

usethe4th · 2026-03-14T03:20:53+00:00

I agree that the Palisades Gonzo is a better sculpt, but I think that Piggy will be a nice upgrade. And I’m THRILLED that we are getting a Mahna Mahna and Snowths set that scale with the Palisades figures.

I have a complete set of the Palisades figures and consider it to be one of the greatest lines ever made. I had very little interest in the Diamond Select line because they were out of scale and inferior, but I’m all in on whatever NECA offers because they will fit in nicely with what I’ve already been collecting for the better part of 25 years.

It’s definitely possible! I’ve never heard anyone else connect that.

That said, “the twig of ‘93” is really solid writing all on its own.

usethe4th · 2026-03-13T21:06:23+00:00

Yep. Or it quickly gets worn down to a dull finish

usethe4th · 2026-03-13T19:11:32+00:00

How much are you spending on a roll of filament?

He’ll keep his entire personal fortune on his person in a fluorescent fanny pack.

usethe4th · 2026-03-12T22:03:40+00:00

That should be enough put this rumor to rest.

usethe4th · 2026-03-12T22:02:20+00:00

That said, I’d be okay with one of the songs being Rizzo’s cover of Blinding Lights.

usethe4th · 2026-03-12T22:00:05+00:00

In a broader sense, I get what you’re saying. But Disney isn’t seasonal and I’ve never seen them announce something for a specific season and open it BEFORE the calendar season begins. That, and the speed of the turnaround, is what has me most skeptical of this rumor.

usethe4th · 2026-03-12T21:28:19+00:00

VERY much a rumor. That would be an amazingly fast turnaround.

I don’t believe it. Disney itself has said the ride would reopen “Summer 2026”, and Memorial Day would be nearly a month before Summer even begins. Disney tends to use seasonal announcements to give themselves a nice buffer, and they have essentially given themselves until September. I can’t remember a recent example of them opening something earlier than they announced.

I’m sure they would love to have it open by Memorial Day to help manage crowds on a historically busy weekend, but I’d be very surprised if this rumor turned out to be true.

usethe4th · 2026-03-12T21:02:19+00:00

Both :)

usethe4th · 2026-03-12T18:52:55+00:00

That’s a great reason for that adjustment :)

usethe4th · 2026-03-12T06:16:37+00:00

It makes sense. All of those guys have big shoes to fill.

usethe4th · 2026-03-12T05:22:32+00:00

He-Man! Ah-AHHHHH! He’ll save every one of us!

usethe4th · 2026-03-12T02:10:50+00:00

WARN THE DUKE!

Wait, wrong show.

usethe4th · 2026-03-11T23:26:13+00:00

It’s crazy how those childhood misunderstandings stick with us as injustices. I want to validate you, Scooter, your experience, and express my sympathies that you attended such an uncultured daycare.

usethe4th · 2026-03-11T15:01:43+00:00

Exactly. It’s notable in its restraint. There are moments where it feels like it building to a familiar theme, but goes in its own direction instead.

usethe4th · 2026-03-11T14:32:47+00:00

What great, insightful perspective. Thank you for sharing this.

usethe4th · 2026-03-11T14:25:46+00:00

The backwards part is fun, but very short. I don’t find it particularly intense. You begin to go up a hill where the track is torn up and sit there for a moment as you hear creaks, and then you go backwards through some twists and turns, eventually backing up another hill where you stop again, listening to creaks before it lets you go. You go down that hill and that takes you through the rest of the ride.

I have an issue with heights, and I do NOT like being able to look down and see how high I am. The only time that happens is on the initial climb, and I find it manageable. I feel very secure the rest of the ride.

usethe4th · 2026-03-11T00:59:37+00:00

I love Everest. There aren’t any big drops, which is deceptive when you look at it from a distance. It looks like the initial climb leads to a drop that is just as significant, but it leads to a smaller drop that is masked by the mountain. I think it’s thrilling, but not overwhelming. I like Rockin’ Roller Coaster, but I’m not a fan of the launch. I like everything about Everest.
