Did Disneyland close the Flower Market to soon? The area used to be apart of a side road at Main Street USA and while the replacement of expanding the emporium makes sense monetarily if it was still here it could have been an iconic social media spot. 📸 by Dennis Caswell

I think this is a testament to the creators cause we have all seen photos and videos of it being built. We know it's fake, theme park magic.
But it still breaks my brain a little to see it being hollow when it's been there like real rock for almost 3 decades.
People want to experience Back to The Future in 4D. Please bring back the ride @UniversalORL

Introducing Hugo: the first human companion robot.
At Boston Dynamics, I was Chief Strategy Officer, bringing robots into the real world.
My co-founder, Farbod Farshidian, led research at the RAI Institute.
Together, 15+ years teaching robots to run, jump, and work.
So we asked: what if robots could connect with people?
Hugo runs on the first Vision-Language-Expression (VLE) model.
He links what he sees and hears to movement, expression, and gesture.
He notices you, reads the room, and reacts in real time.
And he's only the first.
Dynamic Creatures is @BostonDynamics' official entertainment and hospitality partner.
We're building a cast of characters with film studios, resorts, and theme parks.

A look behind the scenes at Radiator Springs Racers! 🏁
This operator control panel at Disney California Adventure features a detailed track layout, illuminated indicators, and ride controls.
Pretty fascinating to see the technology behind the attraction!

While lands focused around IP play a crucial role at Universal's Parks; just as important are the generic ones like New York. Here the creative team has a blank canvas to interchange a variety of different properties and include those that deserve a presence but don’t need a land

For the Halloween season, I wanted to draw Bob (one of favorite Minions) dressed up as a ghost.

The odds of a restraint failure on a B&M without severe negligence is near a statistical impossibility. So if ppl are not wrong about what happened to eject the rider and restraint failure is the culprit, there is an unbelievable amount of negligence happening at SFOG.
I’ll still ask that we wait for official confirmation about what happened before continuing the mass speculation as facts.
Can everyone please wait for official reports for whatever is happening with Goliath @ Six Flags Over Georgia instead of taking LARPers on Reddit as authority.
Nearly everything said on Reddit in the immediate aftermath of the Stardust Racers incident last Fall was false.
That said this is looking very serious. Prayers to any potential victims of whatever incident happened.
I don’t think Olaf died here instead it’s due to an oversight. If you look at the eyes and feet he has power and tried to stabilize. It’s an AI driven reinforcement learning technique he was trained on. What this model didn’t account for though was the nose hitting the wall

Having performed in this show for years, it has always been a dream of mine to convince leadership to give this entire venue a well deserved update. Well they said yes! And we did!
Much of what you’ve always loved about this show has remained but new surprises await and now, more than a fresh coat of paint, an entire visual reimagining from floor to ceiling!
Our entire project team has been passionate about giving this year one attraction the very best treatment. More to come but we are so thrilled to present this tribute to 100 years of Universal Horror along with our @blumhouse partners. Horror, humor and respect to Universal, the studio that created the horror movie genre!

Vekoma just dropped a new trackless dark ride concept.
The Graphical Route Generator is particularly interesting allowing parks to visualize a new layout in sumaltion, upload it to the ride vehicle, and execute the new movements
