snow white in front of the castle? how bout cinderella? i mean it is CINDERELLA castle.

the irony is that most of the creative stuff in TDL passes through the creative minds here in Florida, especially a lot of the entertainment stuff.

it was money. they also had spent a lot of money to get it what was there to do what they wanted to for RoE, nevermind put in a whole new country. The guy that co-produced the show actually lectured about RoE and if he were to make a BS story, i think he would do better that saying they just...

they ran out of money. i'm dead serious.

Lynx is ok. I don't use it but I tend to study/analyze cities and urban growth. Comparitely, It has a lot to be desired for. It's really designed for the poor and people who don't mind waiting all day for a bus that smells like hell. Not the most professional-friendsly. I visit Chicago...

i think at one point UNiversal Studios did in fact blow D/MGM out of the water. THre used to be a plethora of production, faux production that looked legit, lots of streetmo and their cityscapes (esp NY) are incredible. Now, almost all of that is gone. the only thing better is the cityscapes...

Well, kinda, you can see it from Liberty Square and parts of main street since they killed some trees a few years ago. ALso keep in mind that the new tower is going to be next to the tower where now you see nothing but sky. If you can barely see the N corner of the orginal tower, what...

i think what upsets me the most is that this tower will most likely be visible from all of if not most of magic kingdom. that totally defeats the purpose of why the magic kingdom is where it is and the thousands of acres that surround it. I guess DVC feels that few more extra units and the $...

I was told that the reason for the new color was to give it more contrast to the sky, make it pop out more, esp in pictures. i gues behind a blue sky the white/very pale pink gives it more contrast, esp on overcast days. the only thing i don't like is the real pink towards the bottome near the...

Thanks for the explanations/clarifications. Thanks for the links to the other posts!

Amusement Today magazine rated RoE the #1 Nighttime spectacular in the US last week.

for the past few years the opening comet shot comes from one of the perimeter launches (the one near Rose & Crown) which someone already said was NOT ALFs. So which is it?

Not to stir the pot, wdw magic, but i believe you might be mistaken. I've seen a lot of the behind the scenes stuff of ROE, both in person and on TV, I"ve spoken with Mr. Dorsey, and the guy who hired him and co-produced the show. In fact, he was a mentor of mine while I did an inernship doing...

you can tell if the pyro is ALF or not based on watching them go up. If you see the trail (or that little spark on the end as it goes up) it isn't ALF. Most of what comes out of the 4 main barges is ALF. ALl the ones that shoot out in different directions are (scattering bees (pink things...

nicely said, original poster. you make valid points. however, i have to make a counterpoint. Epcot isn't supposed to be another fairytale park with magical characters. It's supposed to be an infusion of real word cultures, technology, and situations presented in a way to engage our...
