Raider Lost in the Parks

Dash camera video of UPS plane crash in Louisville.

All it takes is one careless error to inconvenience everyone. (But seriously, Incredicoaster needs larger pouches that fasten properly)

And finally, Patrick Begorra bids farewell to HalloweenTime:

Lots of animatronics missing from Pirates: in addition to the cannon guy (who also disappeared in 2023), the seagull, that standing pirate on the bridge, a pig, and hairy leg guy’s parrot are now out for maintenance.

Last chance to see the Nightmare Before Christmas cake sculpture in the Grand Californian. Also pictured: Napa Rose, with the frosted windows giving a spooky vibe.

Someone left their Epic Universe water bottle in Grizzly Peak near Rushin’ River Outfitters. It’s been here for several hours now.

Lampposts in Pixar Pier are being prepared for repainting. Look closely to see the old Paradise Pier color where the speakers usually hang.

And more importantly, when are we getting him:

A live look at the entrance to DCA, backed up not due to a busy day but because so few gates are in use:

Water bottles are no longer allowed on Incredicoaster. CMs announce this on the intercom and collect them for placement on this lone bookcase from IKEA (which also sells lightbulbs, *cough*). Since trains could return to either platform, Guests must return there to collect them.

As of today the walls are gone from the Acme facade in Hollywood Land, but so are the dip machine and all the props. With this area likely closing for Avatar construction soon, what will become of Judge Doom?

The safety signs for Red Car Trolley were recently removed:

Some past and present space frames around Epcot and WDW:

A massive space frame was recently installed at Avengers Campus. This type of structure, a common sight at Epcot, was developed in part by none other than Alexander Graham Bell.

Has Disneyland abandoned the ticket booths for good? Note the very long line at the former Group Sales window. Staffing issues maybe?

If only he were an all powerful genie and not just a sorcerer…wait, wrong movie!

Canada may have Bo Bichette, but we have:

New signs at the front of the load platform. I wonder if Costas A. Lott is related to the Florida land baron M.T. Lott?

Technical Services - Steinway & Sons The Steinway & Sons Global Website

It’s an educated guess on my part. Not only is it played for several hours each day, it is often outside in the elements. The best source I can find is the Steinway site which notes that pianos in a professional setting are tuned daily or several times a week: www.steinwaypianos.com/service/Tech...

Welcome back, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

As long as they don’t force paid lockers on us like they do at Knott’s…

It probably happens every day, but this is my first time seeing the Refreshment Corner piano get tuned.

A look at the area that was recently dug out on Lower Lot, now used for HHN queuing instead of taking over The Mummy. Wyatt Sicks in green, and Jason Universe in blue. The projections on the wall are cool, but are mostly drowned out by the lights. #EmptyQueueProject @robyeodesign.com

Some random #HHN2025 shots to darken your Tuesday:

Nice to see the old Elsa animatronic being put to good use

They actually had solid coffee, but unfortunately they had to compete with the nearby Starbucks.

Yeah, I parked there. #BackToTheFutureDay
