I'm thinking of the line path and turn wheels. The turn stations are already essentially two end stations plus extra turn pullies to guide the cable around the turn. There's a diagram somewhere in this thread. Having two actual end stations would eliminate the extra pullies with it's...

If they had made Riviera two end stations instead of a turn station, it would have solved all of these. At the expense of making more people transfer. On the plus side, that transfer and queue at Riviera would solve needing empty cars from CBR. Since all riders would just get back in line...

How normal is it for boards roughly like this one to change members this often disconnected from their terms? I keep wondering what the point of terms even is, if we're just going to replace members whenever anyway.

Anyone have the link to the thread explaining all the reasons the Universal system would not work at Disney? (I am sure there must be one.) Just got back from a Universal trip. Specifically because our last Disney trip felt like it required to much work to vacation and we had never been to...

Same formality as completing the new agreement. They clearly think everyone will work in good faith and get an acceptable resolution. One where not having representation in the CFTOD board is ok.

Disney never wanted to be in that fight. They didn't fight the change to CFTOD on day one, just went with some mitigation measures. Disney isn't out to fight any larger philosophic battle. They are clearly perfectly happy to have some mitigation in place and then accept the loss of...

The settlement agreement also included negotiating a new developer agreement. Presumably one that Disney will be happy with and that hasn't been declared invalid by the legislature. Disney might not have been happy with the change to CFTOD, but they were willing to accept it with the developer...

That’s not an invitation to talk settlement. He declared victory and told Disney to just move on with the new structure in place. I have no idea how you can interpret this as an invitation to talking about any compromise. The statement you posted is exactly what I said, thanks for finding it...

I believe he said Disney should move on, not come to the table. Not settlement talk, just declaration of victory and the other side should give up. The words move on and settlement are nothing alike.

Remember this timing. Disney didn’t sue in federal court until the development agreement was challenged. They were prepared to work under the new structure with some guardrails. Presumably Disney thinks this new plan will give them guardrails they can work under. Many of us were surprised at...

With a board of 5, what use would having 2 members be? They wouldn't be different people trying to achieve similar goals with differences about how to get there and the nuances around larger shared goals. They would be 2 people with one goal and 3 people with a completely different goal. The...

Wasn't there statements in one of the lawsuits from either the governor's office or CFTOD that the governor didn't have any control of CFTOD beyond appointing the board? That there is a recommendation on who the board should hire and "governor’s office on Monday was already calling it a done...

There are millions of ways to influence the outcome of an election unrelated to the literal counting of votes. The person in charge of running the election can definitely impact the result with how it's run. The easiest way is by impacting how easy or hard it is to vote. He should resign or...

Interesting. Not sure how they can settle the federal case. The other two should be simple to settle if that's really a goal.

The collateral damage from the law isn't the other land owners in RCID, it is the other districts besides RCID also impacted by the law. Presumably, those districts had nothing to do with Disney or the governor, yet their structure was impacted just the same. The logic in the ruling was that...
