RRA Explanation RRA stands for "Ride Reset Assist" With many older attraction control systems when and attraction is powered down it can only be powered up with all of its parts in their "home" position. For instance at the Universe of Energy the ride computer can only start up the ride if...

Mickey AVe CLosing Absolutely not on both attractions. The clocings will go from the bathrroms across from Narnia all the way down to where the Mickey Ave. and Dopey Dr. sign used to be. Neither attraction wil closed, geting to them is another subject...

CP Program Basically when you arrive you wil go through CP orientation and will meet your coordinator of training. They will give a schedule. You will then attend traditions and learn the basics of being a disney cast member. From there you go through a park orientation, to learn your way...

Hugh and his companions did make an apearance at the Great Movie Ride, and were reported to have a good time. ( I missed them by 10 minutes)

Clarification As a clarification the term "Streetmosphere" is an official backstage term used by cast members when referencing the type of preformance the characters are giving to the guests. The offical on stage name for these characters is "Citizens of Hollywood." Cast members are...

Let's Look at this Objetively In the interests of being objective, I would like to list the locations where each of the studios trademarks are found. I have no information or assumptions about their future use. And as always “a cast member told me…” does not count as official. It becomes...

Clarificatation The truck was added to advertise either tower 2 or tower 3 (don't remember which) niether of which featured random sequences. (Tower 2 added a second drop to the original, tower 3 made the drops much more complex but still the same each time.) Tower 4 was the first...

Every Saturday and Sunday for two years straight you play bellhop in a themepark even though you have a regular Monday thru Friday office job that pays well.

Yes, Tower Gifts has sold a cartoon styled bellhop hat with Goofy ears on it. It also had a large picture of goofy embroidered on the front of the hat. Unfortunately the shop does not currently stock this item, and has not for some time now.

There is a very large wetland following Reedy Creek between AK and Coronado Springs that is protected by the federal government. WDW would have a heack of a time getting rights to build a canal though that area. There is a smaller protected wetland between AK and AKL that with the right...

OK guys, I got to ride it twice in a row yesterday!. The forces that are put on you are more than any other ride before it. But take note: While the forces you experience may be great it, is a very very gentle ride. There is very little sudden movement. almost every force you...

Well, that depends on how you look at it. Every E-Ticket that has been built recently has been a high budget, very detailed attraction. I would challenge you to name one E-ticket that did not get its fair share of a budget. (While RnRC was lower budget it still hit a home run.) The...

I too love that thing. Esp. the looks I get when I start that thing spinning as fast as I can. :D

Well, no one wants to have bad things happen in our parks, but that new neighbor of ours next door blasts their music and bright lights all night! Don't they know we have guests trying to sleep over here? Well, if coaster is down, drop by the tower, we have a near perfect operational...

Yes the COP was open Thursday the 13th when I stopped by arround 1:30p. It was playing to 20 person audiences while next door SM was at a 30 min wait. But at least all the animatronics were working and it looked clean.
