I always use this GIF whenever prices go up. Guess I'll need a new one or to edit it when a new CEO is picked.

I think Dinosaur closing to me means the WDW of my childhood is gone. I'm sure I'll go back in the future and enjoy the new additions but I'm not feeling the nostalgic tug I once did that made me go so regularly. Feels odd to admit. So long Dinosaur and thanks for all the fun times and laughter.

OG soarin making way for world, OG test tracking going 2.0 (and now 3.0), great movie ride closing, Muppets closing, fountain of nations and the hub audio loop gone, rivers of America gone, amongst other little things. Dinosaur was one of these tent poles, and probably my favourite.

I think I have some of his art I bought 7+ years ago in the kitchen. Guess that's coming down in the move, don't feel like displaying is art anymore. Any one got any suggestions for cool tiki/tropical island art, need to replace the Stitch one that hangs behind my tiki mugs.

Not sure how much you can strip down a 1min long coaster other than no theming at all.

Fair, SLCs especially didn't help their case early on. I'm the same with Gerstlauer, I've ridden so many rough and bad eurofighters that my initial reaction is oh no. But getting out of that habit slowly as in the last year I've ridden roughly 8 decent to great ones.

Vekoma has been doing pretty good the last decade + if sirens is anything like their recent streak it's probably as good as it looks.
Though I'm probably biased as I have a Vekoma as my number 1 currently

It might also being prepped this early as a space to stage pieces as they are removed from RRR as unlike a lot of other coasters getting removed leaving it below where it was on the ride when removed even temporarily would hinder the removal of the rest. So a dump area before removed off site maybe?

Also, a lot of American Park fans judge it on when it was installed there, not remembering that it was 7 years old by the time it made it to Epcot. Judging it on 2014 rides, not 2021 rides, makes a big difference as someone who experienced the Paris version first early on.

Oh depending on where you're watching it that might change. We did a rewatch back late last year (UK based) and it's on prime. Random episodes had the right opening theme it was so weird like someone got lazy checking they'd all been changed.
