Ride Comparisons: Disneyland vs. Disney World

Ride Comparisons: Disneyland vs. Disney World

On June 16th, 2016 the Walt Disney Company welcomed it’s 6th park into the world as Shanghai China opened the newest park. Shanghai Disney started construction back in 2011. From what started out as ideas now is the newest member of the Disney family.

The park is a new vision on what Walt envisioned. Main Street USA is now reborn as Mickey Avenue A fitting tribute to the mouse that started it all. It also pays tribute to Minnie, Donald Duck and Chip and Dale. Another area that was rebranded was Adventureland now know in Shanghai as Adventure Isle and Treasure Cove. Treasure Cove is home to latest technological ride Pirates of the Caribbean Battle for the sunken Treasure. As seen in a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6zXhoJe4iM) by Inside the Magic shows the jaw-dropping animatronics of Jack Sparrow and Davey Jones to effects of gold turning to coral. Yes it’s not the same as the classic in Disneyland and Disney World but it shows technology at it’s best and how a classic can be redesigned into an amazing thrill ride.

There is also the Standard Fantasyland and the largest castle in all of Disney Property. This Castle is not themed for a specific princess but for all of them. There also Winnie the Pooh spinning Honeypots a nice themed ride. Lastly is Tomorrowland there is sadly no space mountain there but they added a Tron light cycle roller coaster, which is pretty neat.

Shanghai Disneyland can be the jump-start to a new revolution in theme park technology. In the next five years maybe this technology will be used in the other parks as part of the new Star Wars and Toy Story Land or redesigning the old classics. Another question brought up is can this lead to more parks? It would be cool to see another Disney park open but there is finding the right location to build it. As Shanghai Disney is opening to acclaim the future for Disney is only looking brighter.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
