Funny definition of "discount" for Galactic Starcruiser

Child Abandoned On Disney Ride (A teenager thought it was fun that he got to split up from his family and ride Rise of the Resistance as a single rider)

Country Bears Closing to Make Room for Tiana (An unofficial fan Twitter site speculated that the new Tiana's Bayou Adventure could bring additional changes to Frontierland. ITM twisted things enough to write a speculation piece that is adorned by this headline)

I ran across one of those 25 minute influencer speculation videos today that was claiming that his "sources" were telling him that Frontierland at WDW is going away with part of being absorbed into Liberty Square and the rest becoming a New Orleans square type area. Somewhere after I got tired of watching, he says that Big Thunder Mountain will be part of a new desert land with a villain area out behind that. (There's a lot of Disney fans that think they can dream a villain themed land into reality.) I took all of it with a massive grain of salt since the video contained the obligatory amount of Chapek-induced butthurt.


Crowds Vanish From Walt Disney World, Park Nearly Empty (Last night a storm passed through the area. The lines at Hollywood Studios got shorter during the rain)

Disney World Location Abruptly Closes, Will Change Forever (The Trails End restaurant in Ft. Wilderness closed for an extended refresh that was announced months ago)

Multiple Attractions Shut Down Completely at Disney World (Outdoor attractions close in lightning. Then they reopen when the lightning is over)

BrettV, I’m glad we have you to track this for us so I’m not caught giving them clicks.

I think this could be the lowest they have ever gone.

Shots Fired at Disney World Attraction (The Frontierland Shooting Arcade exists. While using photos of Rise of the Resistance and Big Thunder Mountain in the article preview)

Wow. That's across a line that I didn't even know existed.


Wow. I feel fairly certain Disney has enough on their plate these days, but if I was them..:.

Fired CEO Bob Chapek Pegged to Lead Disney’s Biggest Competition (He wasn't. A random Twitter user posted a screenshot of NBCUniversal's leadership page from their website with Chapek photoshopped in as CEO.)


Classic Disney Ride In Desperate Need of Upgrades, “It’s Impossible” (A Reddit user said that the sound system on the Jungle Cruise boats needs to be upgraded because it's hard to hear and got over 600 upvotes.)


Guests Trapped Aboard Disney Cruise Ship, Held Overnight (Due to inclement weather, a Disney Cruise scheduled to sail from Nassau to Castaway Cay remained at the Nassau port overnight and altered the itinerary)

Apparently it wasn't weather, and the Wish had some kind of mechanical problem. That means they missed their Castaway Cay day, which is a real bummer.

SpaceX's Starship explodes on launch attempt (Actual launch was successful, rocket exploded in response to self-destruct command following a failed pitch maneuver.)

That was actually CNN's headline for the launch on 4/20. The big boys can be guilty too.


I quit clicking on anything that vlogger posts, apparently he went to the National Enquirer school of journalism.

So in other words the rocket exploded during it's launch attempt?

Explodes on launch attempt is not an accurate description of what happened. It makes it sounds like it blew up on the launch pad.

They aren't misleading anyone with that headline. It would have to be something like SpaceX's Starship catastrophically explodes, future launches in question to be in the same ballpark.

I agree it's not in the same ballpark as the garbage ITM puts out, but CNN's headline has a bit of a negative slant to it, as compared to something like:

SpaceX successfully launches giant Starship rocket, explodes minutes later

...which was Fox Business's headline. And anytime someone makes me side with Fox Noise, I get angry. But, there's no denying that the Fox headline is more accurate than the CNN headline, and when you consider the political baggage Elon is carrying around these days, it's not surprising which outlet went with a positive slant and which went with a negative one. Disappointing, but not surprising.


In my mind if it blows up while it is still firing its engines then it has blown up on its launch.
