I'm sorry that you're having such a tough time with them, sounds like a frustrating and unpleasant experience. That said, I know 2 insurance adjusters that work the travel industry, and both have said that with the amounts of Cancelled or Delayed Flights that have been happening, their workload...

There is a big difference between "restricted" air space and "Closed" air space.

You're this technically inclined but don't understand compression or data thru-put?

I don't know, I've seen quite the chatter from some I know saying WDI will be heavily impacted by this, maybe not immediately, but mid-term...

But is it going to be "just" office space? R&D leans on the industrial side, and requires some hefty upfront investment, especially with the latest and greatest machines. I know WDI outsources their production to vendors, for the most part, but the R&D is mostly done in house.

All new Desks, Cubicles, Equipment, Networks, etc... Adds up quick

Perhaps I should have been more specific: communicore/innoventions is where I was truly pointing the comment. You are correct afaic when it comes to The Land, SSE, JII, and TLS. World of Motion and Horizons proved to fall victim to the update standards, and were replaced by attractions that are...

Not to split hairs here, but a Parsec is a unit of distance, not time...

Eh. Bristol is not all that great, and our Cost of Living here in CT is trying to rival that of New York and California. Florida would be my choice no question

We visited shortly after the tragic loss of young Lane. I'll never forget riding the resort monorail from Poly to MK, and while rounding out of GF seeing the trappers wrangling a young gator on the rip-rap along the shore of 7 Seas Lagoon. It was very eerie to say the least, knowing that just 2...

Ah yes, Nunis's Folly. Spend 1/2 a million on a wave machine that erodes the beaches and makes operating watercraft (specifically the Southern Seas) ridiculously hard to control. He was allegedly ribbed for years about that decision. That said, most of the machine was removed in the mid-late...

Wasn't just one, it was most of the original United Tractor units. I can source the claims, but don't want to link outside in the thread

Yep. Original versions, made by United Tractor in Indiana couldn't make the climb. WED had initially spec'd CNG trams, but corporate decided to buy these off the shelf gasoline powered units. They blew transmissions, overheated, had parts literally falling off on the incline at the Lagoon...
