Hm. Fascinating.

It would take roughly 10 times the amount of crew members and a year round process to even think about doing half the park. Cost prohibitive…the park is bigger than you think compared to SOA. Look at Google Maps and you'll see that the 3-4 months spent hanging lights on that small chunk of the...

Sure they could have at one point if they engineered it for that. But they didn't. They'd never go back on that. BBB -> $$$ CRT -> $$$ Walkthrough -> No $$$ Or $$ or $ I suspect it was also made as a business decision back in the day as well. People pay top dollar for the ability to eat up...

No. You are wrong. About both.

The magic that you all say you still feel is self-created...self-imposed...and artificial. It used to be real. Everything that you looked at, everything you touched, every person you came into contact with, every new attraction, every old attraction, every hotel you stayed at...truly an amazing...

The Mickey fingers have been out of show for some time now...and probably some time to come. Apparently there was an incident. There's also some other pyro changes as of late due to incidents. For Fantasmic!...a projector failure in front of a completely full section of the audience is a...

There's actually two reasons. One- It makes it appear to the guests on stage that there are more people in the audience than there really are (instead of everyone being scattered in the 1000 seat auditorium). Two- The camera crews have to take audience shots. And if everyone is...

Unfortunately...yes. It will continue to be around... They seem to be determined to continue to drop millions (mostly licensing, etc) into this attraction that has never performed well. It has never spun the turnstiles any faster, or any more. I more so see the reasoning as...they don't...

Disney has actually widely expanded its usage of LED fixtures across property as part of green initiatives. This widely took off in Entertainment venues first, but now you can see them in places varying from shops to uplighting palm trees. Almost every Entertainment venue at Studios uses some...

I clicked like. But I wanted to waste a post saying I liked this as well. Very much. And very correct.

The Holy Land Experience? ;) You could have been there on a couple of the days when the arch turned back on for a little while.

There are a few segments of the show that look odd...Fantasmic has been missing their outer spotlights for a couple weeks now. These primarily light these segments. There is maintenance work being done to the lifts (you can see them in the slightly raised position). No idea why this work wasn't...

The only lasers that are still in the show are the green dragon wing fiber optics...as you can see if you watch the show. The other lasers have been missing since the show came back from rehab in February. There's a good chance of them returning possibly soon I've heard...no idea when. But...

The searchlights are very much still up there. They haven't been on in many months. There were a few fanned out, and then two moving search lights that circled the fanned ones in the sky. In addition, there were two fanned out in a "V" on the top of the Animation Courtyard Arch/Entryway...

You are somewhat incorrect. Every parade performer / character performer at Walt Disney World is a union cast member covered under a union contract. They are represented by...well...Teamsters. While it's not a strong union to be backing you up in a theatrical/arts role, they ARE union...

Agree on all points. However, I think the "point of exhaustion" from the guests is farther away. Personally, I think Disney's got years and years of legacy left before it starts hitting them hard. You mentioned you feel more compelled to visit parks that have new attractions. But what...

Absolutely correct. That 90% is what Disney counts on. Everything is based off of "majority". Bad show? Definitely not, I also agree. But what I feel is definitely lacking is any sort of "wow" factor that pushes it above and beyond the "expected" spectacular. Disney's abilities to use...

Correct, Correct, and Correct. Apparently ethics is left out of business schools nowadays... Again, I suspect they are looking at it strictly from a business point of view with very little thought put towards show quality. I also suspect, as long as there are butts in the seat, the show will...

Okay. Let's look at the business side of it... Let's just say between 8000 and 10000 people fill the amphitheater. For the most part, they don't know the difference. Or, don't care. Or, are entertained by 1998 technology. Bottom line...very few complaints. Why would they update it...

This would be true if Fantasmic was running video projections. But they aren't. It's film projection.
