Not to slam Grizz, but I know for a fact that the city was a giant model. maybe the bacxground were screens but that was it. I rode the World of Motion quite a few times and twice during thunderstorms the ride screwed up and the end was done with the lights on. It was a model. Also I once took a...

Actually, that would be the most fitting wouldn't it. I doubt it's going to happen but it would give them a new dark ride to advertise while keeping the people who were upset about losing 20k happy by getting a newer and better version. Question is, would the 20k from TDS fit in just the...

I always have to have a laugh about the power rangers. I don't know how many of you are old enough but when the power rangers first came to teh US they were not for kids. It was a dubbed japanese show that was shown late night on the USA network in a show called night ranger or night tracks...

If you are looking for a more accurate hurricane prediction the best site is the National Hurricane Center www.nhc.noaa.gov. Most every other weather site gets thier info from here then their meteoroligist reinterprets it for some unknown reason to come up with some weird info. On the NHC site...

I always thought it was strange they didn't use the Galaxy Place theater before and instead uilt a new stage within viewing distance of it.

Heh, the height of everest is going to be taller than I thought. I was up that way Sunday and on the way in (stay at in-laws off property) we drove by the construction entrance for everest on the side road off 192. You could get a clear view of it from there and see alot of detail. Actually when...

Htey have been using that area for storller parking for a while now and that was what I understod what was gong to happen. I thought the building itself was going to remain with only a few changes (where skyway went in and out and probably internal use changes) but the outside was going to have...

The Orlando light rail project isn't dead. What happend is they wanted to go with an elevated system and go the cost to build and though it was too high. They then started looking at this womderful system that used electric busses at ground level on normal streets and some dedicated right-...

Some of you are getting two different projects put together. The rail was talked about going to the Orlando airport but that was way back and now theat whole poject is being based on the Orlando Light Rail system that is being designed considering several different technologies. Actually the Las...

I wouldn't mid a gutting of this ride. I enjoy it but it was dated and needs a big redo. On that note i want to say this. I don't mind screen tech if disney decides to go push the envelope even further. they could do this by mixing in quite a few animatronics into it and maybe even effects like...

form the pictures that part that looks like a switch, and the track extends upward a little and ends, you can see two trcks leading to that point. Best pictures to see this is the second picture form left on the second page of pictures at the top. My guess (and just a guess) is you might go...

Since I live in Florida here's my view. I didn't vote for the railway and wouldn't mind it getting stopped or major changes happening. The biggest complaint I had at the time is how open ended the proposal was. There wasn't much pf a spending limit or strong time frame given to come up with a...

Just a little note. Nestle is the sponsor of the Land which is why the chocolate is there. Sposors such as Kodak and, at the time American Express, sign contracts to sposor pavillions but can also expand that to be the offical sponsor throughout the world. It depends on what they wish to...

If WDW ever offers a tagging system that uses electronic marking darts and a gun to tag them with i volunteer to go and work that one for free..........:D :D :D :hammer: sorry, couldn't resist.:)

don't mind new boats as long as it isn't the ones form el rio de tempo. They sit too low in the water when loaded full or when a wheelchair is on them. I also thought I read that the rehad was going to include redoing the load/ unload area some. I know that whole room needs serious cleaning...
