Much-Loved Disney World Ride Reopens And Promptly Shuts Down After Mishap, Then Reopens

Much-Loved Disney World Ride Reopens And Promptly Shuts Down After Mishap, Then Reopens https://ift.tt/vUeaRK5 One of Walt Disney World's most popular attractions, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, reopened on May 3 after about 1.5 years of downtime for refurbishments and upgrades. The reopening did not go entirely to plan, as cast members had to use a fire extinguisher on the Magic Kingdom ride to deal with an issue, prompting an evacuation of guests and the ride to close temporarily as the issue was addressed.

Granted, every touchstone in gaming has been subject to imitations, iterative improvements, or spiritual successors. But to this day, I'd argue that not a single game has meaningfully restructured the foundation laid by the Metroid Prime series.

Certain similarities can be found in first-person immersive sims such as Prey and Dishonored. The interconnected 3D levels of Control, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and the Batman Arkham games have world designs that are somewhat Metroid Prime-like.
