EPCOT Sends Emergency Notification to Thousands, Ride Abruptly Closed

On January 28, EPCOT opened without one of its newest and busiest attractions: Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. The ride never resumed operations on Tuesday, leading to a formal apology from Walt Disney World Resort management.

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure opened in the France World Showcase Pavilion in 2021. Inspired by the 2007 Pixar film, the trackless dark ride first appeared in Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris in 2014. Nearly four years after opening, the Walt Disney World Resort version of the ride regularly sees wait times longer than an hour.

On Tuesday, EPCOT guests rushing to rope drop Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure were met with disappointment. Disney cast members stood outside the attraction, informing families that technical issues prevented them from allowing guests inside. They couldn’t provide a reopening timeline.

Some guests waited outside Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure for over an hour, but crowds dispersed throughout EPCOT as the day continued. Wait times skyrocketed for other attractions, like Soarin’ Around the World and Frozen Ever After. Test Track is currently closed for reimagining, giving guests fewer options to replace Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.

Around 1:15 p.m., EPCOT Vice President Kartika S Rodriguez apologized to Disney Park guests via the My Disney Experience app. “Pardon the Inconvenience,” read a notification sent to all EPCOT guests.

“On behalf of the entire team at EPCOT, I’d like to apologize that Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is currently unavailable,” Rodriguez wrote. “Our Cast Members are working diligently to get the attraction up and running again, and we are sorry you are not able to experience this attraction at this time. I hope you will enjoy some of our other attractions during your experience in the park today.”

Although ride breakdowns are common at Walt Disney World Resort, they typically resolve within a few hours. As the day went on, it became increasingly clear that Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure wasn’t reopening. Around 7:30 p.m., wait times for other EPCOT attractions remained affected by the closure of the family-friendly ride.

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure remained closed from EPCOT’s 8:30 a.m. early entry opening on Tuesday until the Disney park closed at 9:00 p.m. It reopened on Wednesday, January 29, and Walt Disney World Resort didn’t provide an explanation for its unplanned extended closure.

EPCOT Sends Emergency Notification to Thousands, Ride Abruptly Closed

EPCOT, one of Disney World’s most popular theme parks, sent out an emergency notification to thousands of guests today, causing panic and confusion among visitors. The notification stated that one of the park’s most beloved rides, Spaceship Earth, was experiencing technical difficulties and had to be abruptly closed.

Guests who were in line for the ride were asked to evacuate the area immediately, while those already on the ride were safely escorted off by park staff. The reason for the closure has not been disclosed, but rumors of a possible malfunction or safety issue have been circulating among park-goers.

Many visitors took to social media to express their disappointment and frustration over the unexpected closure. Some even questioned the park’s safety measures and procedures for handling emergencies. Despite the inconvenience, most guests remained understanding and grateful for the quick response from park staff.

As of now, it is unclear when Spaceship Earth will reopen, but EPCOT officials have assured guests that they are working diligently to resolve the issue and get the ride back up and running as soon as possible. In the meantime, guests are encouraged to explore the park’s other attractions and enjoy their visit to EPCOT.

‘Stranger Things’ creators tease new supernatural show set in a retirement community: ‘They ride golf carts, not bikes’

CNN
—

While everyone is hanging at the edge of their seats for more info on the fifth and final season of “Stranger Things,” the brothers behind the hit show are already cooking up their next projects.

At a Netflix presentation of the streaming giant’s 2025 slate for press on Wednesday, “Stranger Things” creators Ross and Matt Duffer revealed that in 2026 they will be executive producing two new shows, titled “The Boroughs” and “Something Very Bad is Going to Happen,” both of which “encompass what we feel is at the core of ‘Stranger Things,’” according to Ross Duffer – “they’re stories about ordinary people who encounter the extraordinary.”

Matt Duffer added that “The Boroughs” “probably shares the most DNA with ‘Stranger Things’ because it’s about a group of misfits who fight an otherworldly evil.”

“Only unlike ‘Stranger Things,’ it’s set in a retirement community, so that’s something different,” he quipped. “This time our misfits are a little on the older side. They ride golf carts, not bikes,” he said, in reference to the young characters in “Stranger Things” who ride their bicycles around Hawkins, Indiana.

Aside from the brief description, the pair were able to share some key cast members for “The Boroughs,” including Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard and Bill Pullman.

As for “Stranger Things,” the Duffers shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the concluding season and revealed that they’d spent an entire year filming it, capturing over 650 hours of footage.

“It’s like eight blockbuster movies. It’s pretty insane,” Ross Duffer said, while his brother highlighted that it “was super intense and emotional to film – for us and for our actors. We’ve been making this show together for almost ten years. There was a lot of crying. There was SO much crying.”

For context, “Stranger Things” first premiered on Netflix back in 2016, when star Millie Bobbie Brown was 11 (and coincidentally began playing a character named Eleven). Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria pointed this out at the presentation, going on to say that she was recently in attendance at Brown’s wedding.

If that weren’t enough, the Duffers also promised that Season 5 of “Stranger Things” wouldn’t mark the end of the story of the Upside Down.

“There are more ‘Stranger Things’ stories to tell and in the works. It’s a bit early at this point to talk about them, but we’re deeply involved in every one,” Matt Duffer teased.

Also in the mix at the Netflix presentation was more information on another sinister and escapist hit show – namely “Squid Game,” which debuted its second season last month.

Bajaria unveiled the news that the third and final season of the South Korean thriller series will hit the streamer on June 27.

The creators of the hit Netflix series “Stranger Things” are back with a new supernatural show set in a retirement community, and they are teasing fans with some intriguing details.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the Duffer Brothers revealed that their new show will feature elderly residents who uncover mysterious and otherworldly happenings in their community. “They ride golf carts, not bikes,” Matt Duffer joked.

The show, which has not yet been officially titled, will explore themes of aging, friendship, and the supernatural, much like “Stranger Things.” However, the Duffer Brothers promise that this new series will have a unique and fresh take on the genre.

“We wanted to explore a different perspective on the supernatural, one that is often overlooked in popular culture,” Ross Duffer explained. “The residents of this retirement community may be older, but they are still capable of amazing feats and adventures.”

While details about the show are still scarce, fans can expect a blend of comedy, drama, and of course, plenty of supernatural elements. The Duffer Brothers are known for their ability to create compelling characters and intricate storylines, so this new project is sure to be a must-watch for fans of the supernatural genre.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new show from the creators of “Stranger Things.” Who knows, maybe these elderly residents will prove that age is just a number when it comes to fighting off supernatural forces.

‘I can fit in that car’: Detroit rapper sues after Lyft driver says she won’t fit in his vehicle, refuses ride
Detroit rapper ‘Dank Demoss’ denied Lyft ride due to her size

A Detroit rapper is going viral for something other than her music. Fans know her as ‘Dank Demoss,’ and they’re fuming after a Lyft driver allegedly denied her a ride because of her size.

DETROIT (FOX 2) – A Lyft driver denied a Detroit rapper a ride because of her size – and now she’s suing.

Dajua Blanding, known on stage as Dank Demoss, requested a ride to a Detroit Lions watch party earlier this month. However, when the driver arrived, he saw Blanding and told her he couldn’t give her a ride because of her weight. Blanding was recording the encounter.

The backstory:

At first, the driver told Blanding she wouldn’t fit in his sedan.

“I can fit in this car,” she can be heard saying, to which he responded, “Believe me, you can’t.”

The driver then told Blanding his tires couldn’t handle the weight, apologized, and mentioned ordering an Uber XL – a larger vehicle. He added that he would refund the ride so she wouldn’t be charged.

Blanding says she could have fit.

“I’ve been in cars smaller than that,” she told FOX 2. “I just want them to know that it hurt my feelings.”

Blanding has retained attorneys Jonathan Marko and Zach Runyan to sue for discrimination.

What they’re saying:

“I knew that it was illegal, and I knew that it was wrong,” Marko said.

He said weight is a protected characteristic in Michigan. Marko said that denying someone a ride based on their weight would be the same as denying someone because of their race or religion – at least under the law.

Lyft drivers can turn down passengers for perceived security threats, but Marko said they cannot deny a ride based on protected characteristics.

The other side:

Lyft released a statement:

“Lyft unequivocally condemns all forms of discrimination—we believe in a community where everyone is treated with equal respect and mutual kindness. Our community guidelines and terms of service explicitly prohibit harassment or discrimination.”

What’s next:

The rideshare company has been served with the lawsuit.

The Source: FOX 2 interviewed Dajua Blanding and attorney Jonathan Marko for this story.

News Detroit

Detroit rapper, MC Rhyme Queen, is taking legal action against Lyft after a driver refused to give her a ride, claiming she wouldn’t fit in his vehicle. The incident occurred when Rhyme Queen, who is known for her fierce lyrics and confident attitude, requested a ride to a studio session.

Upon arrival, the Lyft driver allegedly looked at Rhyme Queen and told her she wouldn’t be able to fit in his car due to her size. Despite Rhyme Queen’s protests and insistence that she could indeed fit in the vehicle, the driver refused to give her a ride.

Feeling discriminated against and humiliated, Rhyme Queen is now suing Lyft for discrimination and emotional distress. She believes that no one should be denied a ride based on their appearance or size, and she is determined to fight for justice and equality.

In a statement, Rhyme Queen said, “I may be a big girl, but that doesn’t mean I can’t fit in a car. I deserve the same respect and treatment as any other passenger, and I won’t stand for this kind of discrimination. I will continue to speak out against injustice and fight for my rights.”

Lyft has not yet responded to the lawsuit, but Rhyme Queen’s fans and supporters are rallying behind her, offering their solidarity and encouragement. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.

Injuries loom again as Sixers ride two-game winning streak into meeting with Lakers
Things looked to be heading in the right direction for a change for the Philadelphia 76ers. They swept a back-to-back over the weekend, earning a shocking victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers and emerging victorious in what looked like a schedule loss against the Chicago Bulls. The Sixers now sit just 1.5 games back of Chicago for the final Play-In spot. The Bulls have one hand firmly on their tanking ripcord ready to pull, shopping both Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine in earnest. So despite everything that has happened over the first half of the season (and there has been a lot), the Sixers’ postseason aspirations remain fully possible. Thank goodness for the (L)Eastern Conference! And if you’re still Team Tank, I really need you to take a hard look at what teams like the Wizards and Hornets are trotting out there on a nightly basis.

Of course, we all know the Sixers can’t purely have nice things, so a counterbalance to the force was provided in the wake of these good tidings. Despite his doing handstands at practice, the Sixers announced yesterday that Joel Embiid would remain out for at least tonight’s game and tomorrow against Sacramento. In more carefree times, we would have all had a good laugh at that situation, but we’ve been skirting the edge of the darkest timeline for a whie.

While the Embiid situation is sadly nothing new, a fresh development is Paul George sitting out after injuring his pinky on Saturday. With both veteran stars sidelined, stay tuned for another exciting episode of Maxey and Friends, which can occasionally be fun but has often turned this year into Tyrese constantly barking at the refs under the pressure of carrying too large a burden. Andre Drummond (toe), Caleb Martin (hip), KJ Martin (foot), and Jared McCain (knee) are also out, while Guerschon Yabusele is probable (knee) to round out the injury report.

Tonight, they’ll be up against the Los Angeles Lakers, who won the first meeting between these two clubs back in the City of Angels in early November, 116-106. The Lakers won last night in Charlotte, 112-107, so the Sixers will at least have the advantage of playing an opponent on the second night of a back-to-back. We’ll see if Anthony Davis especially is tired after going HAM against the Hornets to the tune of 42 points and 23 rebounds.

Davis and LeBron James both played through probable designations yesterday, and with tonight being a nationally-televised game, I’d expect they’ll be out there again as we await an official injury report from the Lakers. Rui Hachimura (calf), Gabe Vincent (knee), Christian Wood (knee), and Jalen Hood-Schifino (hamstring) were all out against Charlotte, with Hachimura and Vincent closer to returning. Forward Jarred Vanderbilt made his way back to the court over the weekend after missing nearly 12 months following foot surgeries. He also played last night against Charlotte, so we’ll if he’s playing back-to-backs yet.

The Sixers are currently 4.5-point underdogs at home, per FanDuel. Tonight is the first of six straight home games for the Sixers. We’ll see if they can continue their strong play from over the weekend.

Game details

When: Tuesday, January 28, 7:30pm ET
Where: The Center, Philadelphia, PA
Watch: TNT, Max
Radio: 97.5 The Fanatic
Follow: @LibertyBallers

The Philadelphia 76ers are riding a two-game winning streak as they prepare to face off against the Los Angeles Lakers, but injuries are once again looming over the team.

Despite their recent success on the court, the Sixers are dealing with a number of key players nursing injuries. Joel Embiid, who has been a dominant force for the team this season, is currently dealing with a knee injury that has sidelined him for several games. Tobias Harris is also battling a hand injury, and his status for the upcoming game against the Lakers is uncertain.

The Sixers will need to rely on their depth and resilience to overcome these injuries and continue their winning streak. With players like Seth Curry and Tyrese Maxey stepping up in the absence of their star teammates, the team is confident they can still compete at a high level.

As they face off against the Lakers, the Sixers will need to bring their A-game and hope that their injured players can make a speedy recovery. It will be a tough test for the team, but they are determined to keep their winning streak alive and prove that they are a force to be reckoned with in the NBA.
