Gotcha -- I thought you'd meant that it was inaccurate with respect to the railroad and Conservation Station. :)

Expedition Everest is there, as well. It's not finished, but it's represented pretty obviously. Perhaps you're looking in the wrong spot? From the initial link, move to the right and you can clearly see the mountain. The large plot next to the railroad tracks has been dirt covered for years.

What's wrong with the photograph? It's all accurate and up to date. Conservation Station is above the station, across the canal. You can see that the walkway from the station to it is surrounded by heavy brush and trees, unlike the rest of the area.

Disney has a year's worth of ride capacity data to sort through regarding this attraction. If they are genuinely considering bringing another train into regular service, you can bet that they've looked at that data and feel that there's a benefit. There's no other reason why they'd do it and...

A ride that is the same or similar is also being installed in the Disney Studios.

The folks at Knoebel's have built two of their own coasters, speaking generally. There're a handful of other instances of similar things happening, but it's certainly not the norm.

Disney cares about Harbor Blvd. only insofar as its hotel rooms help to keep people in its parks. If they add enough rooms to the property, they could easily close the Harbor Blvd. entrance and at very little cost to themselves. Ignoring good will, ideally Disney wants to put as many hotels...

Interesting talk about the hotel occupying the space that now acts as a hub for outside transportation. I'm curious as to where and how will they relocate the dropoff for the Anaheim Rapid Transit system, if at all, and if they'd go so far as to eliminate access to the property from Harbor...

Congratulations :) Really, someday, I'm going to just move to California and harass someone until they give me a job there.

Disney didn't literally sell the pavilions to the namesake countries -- they simply convinced them that being represented in the World Showcase was a valuable investment in tourism and asked that such countries contribute some or all of the capital required to build the pavilion.

I don't work in the industry, so I can't speak authoritatively about what it takes to get in and get hired, but my experience has been that creative positions require a portfolio demonstrating your work. Entertainment design is, first and foremost, a visual medium and so anyone trying to work...

These models were all made in SketchUp. It offers a few different display options that allow you to make things appear as if they were hand-drawn. There are plug-ins available as well that offer more realistic rendering options that I don't have available to me. I've had SketchUp for about...

I work a lot as a designer of mechanical components and use parametric CAD modeling software for almost all of my work. There're a few different platforms that are popular and so I've been spending time throughout the fall teaching myself to better use some software that I didn't have a lot of...
