The "exploding screen" bits look pretty bad lately - it used to naturally look like part of the rest of the screen, but now wrinkles/cracks kinda expose how the effect works

One down. Announcement that Goofy created a big mess and we get to "step right through it."

For both rooms?

Pre-show movie isn't working today.

No

I have always been on the small team that says it should have gone into Storybook Circus. ...Or... Literally could have put it in Animation Courtyard and replaced Launch Bay.

I believe it is all gone now. Half of that hallway was destroyed during the GMR demo, but the other half was intact at least for a little while during MMRR construction. Never seen any proof or remember hearing anything from anyone specific about the other half being removed, so it is possible that it's still there.

It’s more that i’m saying Chinese theatre is a better choice because it makes it clear this is the real world. Seeing the hand prints and water features of the chinese theater and entering the “screening” sells we’re in the real world. Then the movie suddenly brings us through to the cartoon world and entering movies, bridging the old hollywood theme to the new world of said movies theme DHS created with SWGE and TSL.

Got it, and sorry for missing the context!

I was replying to a post that implied that the Chinese Theatre's status as a weenie made it an appropriate location for MMRR.

LittleBufordJun 03, 2025

How does the ride it contains affect whether it’s a weenie or not?

Disgruntled WaltJun 03, 2025

The Chinese Theatre was a great weenie before it had MMRR inside of it. They could have created a great El Capitoon Theatre facade for Animation Courtyard.

Centauri Space StationJun 03, 2025

I won’t argue that the queue is not great at DL, it’s a ton of classic props and references vs a few coming soon posters in a theater lobby. I do like the effect of DHS’ version though and always think the Chinese theatre is a great weenie for DHS.

I agree that it works better conceptually but does it work better in practice? Like does having that human to toon world transition outweigh the superior queue at Disneyland?
