Once this venue opens do you think there will be a better place to watch Iillminations from? (Control room on top of MX not withstanding) Granted the Laser effects may be difficult to see overall, but then with the current crop they might as well turn them off anyways. :lookaroun

I tried the search function, but came up empty. Does anybody remember several months ago there were some soil or maybe it was core samples being done in Ft. Wilderness? It sure seemed odd at the time. Sure wish I could find that thread. That might shed some light on what is going on today...

I wasn't referring to removal of WoM. I meant retrofitting the building for the new ride system. I seem to remember there was extensive structural work that went way over budget, but the brain is a little foggy on that now. Wayside RCS. Which one are you referring to? By my count there...

In your large scale renovation work did you ever try to reinforce a structure to withstand the loads incurred by a roller coaster? I suspect the needs in this case are not normal and in fact quite unique, and possibly not relevant to your experience. Speaking out of turn, yes. Just sayin...

I thought I read on here long (LONG) ago that after retrofitting the GM structure for TT Disney decided it was not feasible to do that again. If changes to the Imagination Pavilion on par with the introduction of TT are required I strongly doubt they would not bulldoze and start over. The...

It is my understanding the 12th train minus the end cabs is now in the paint shop. I am pretty sure that is what is sticking out of the paint shop. :lookaroun Rumor mill not associated with the internet has the end cabs for the 12th train in production. One could assume if the train is in...

I generally follow this method as well. At least until standing becomes difficult. :lookaroun For the first time that I can recall they will offer a score card listing the options at each of the booths. I used to try to keep track of what I had and what I liked in the festival guide, but...

I ran the beach trail from FWL to RC several weeks ago and I saw no evidence of any changes near RC. From the old docks and pump area all the way down to the cast parking area seemed wholly unchanged, but I didn't peek over the fence. What kind of superstructure is required to create the rock...

Actually rails has a person on staff that could safely run the entire operation from Mars if he had to... And do it with fail-safes that would far surpass anything Disney Legal could possibly come up with. Never gonna happen mind you, but it can absolutely be done safely long term. But I...

Very cool. I had not seen a pic of the LV systems control room. This type of monitoring and control makes sense for them. The WDW Monorail fleet, while sharing some core technical similarities, has a completely different control system. Had the processes and procedures from years past been...

Ladder HQ? Nah. This is the new break room for The Ladder. Can't you see in the photo they are just haggin out... :lookaroun

Ah. Conundrum. That makes sense. One could view this as "We built this and it was fine when we left. The 'warranty' ran out and we are no longer monetarily responsible. Happy to help fix 'your' problem, but it will cost you. Would you say this concept is similar to the issue currently in...

What is curious about this particular photo is the grid like pattern visible in the concrete to the right of the expansion joint. Where does this grid pattern come from if the horizontal structure is one pour?

I can't wait to give this a go. The setting looks airy, open and inviting. Never mind the food and drink... :lol: I can't help but notice the split wood below the ovens, very nice theme. One could easily assume the ovens are wood burners as I did. One question I have though is why the gas...

Obviously, to me, TDO does not have the resources (read stones?) to fix this problem. Otherwise they likely would have by now, no? Since it appears TDA or higher was required to instigate the FL expansion perhaps that is to whom some correspondence should be addressed regarding Yeti...

Opps. You are absolutely correct. My bad. You would think as much as I yank on hot throttles I would have those fact straight. :hammer: Just out of curiosity do you spend much time at Burnsland?

I did some searching and poking around and can't figure it out... How do you change the text displayed direction below your user name on posts? "Just Joined" and "New Here" seems to be no longer really valid for me. :shrug:

I am unfamiliar with the $$$ numbers, but that would not surprise me for DL. They custom built the locos they use there. The engines in use in FL are resurrected commercailly built ones. I think the FL engines are a little bit more efficient over all. Taking fireworks out of the equation I...

Since Mr. Britton's departure I have been expecting some changes with the WDWRR, and my fear is not for the better. Regardless of the rich history that is the RR and being Walt's imputes for creating the parks in the first place I would be surprised to learn the people in charge at WDW have...

I can't find it now, but I remember somebody (Lee/Martin maybe?) mentioned his removal and the 2 red roll up doors at ground level. Memory is foggy and a quick search here turned up zilch. I looked at some aerial pics on Bing and didn't see any roof openings. At least nothing I could...
