As soon as I read this I had an instant flashback of being on the ride, it is one of those little "moments" on the ride that I remember to this day and Cronkite's voice was a major part of it.

Sponsorships are important only because Disney has a tendency to abandon sponsor-less attractions. It is almost a death sentence to an EPCOT pavilion when a sponsor pulls out.

Thanks for the info, I never looked for anything but they most likely try to make it blend in with everything else. They even have breakaway panels now to hide the sprinkler heads. Possibly, the evolution of building codes over the years is very murky to say the least. Different states and...

I would say that all localities require sprinklers now, however I have ran projects in places that adopted versions of codes that were almost a decade old which is why it is never a good idea to say all areas require something or not. Most areas use a revision of NFPA-1, however there are other...

Now there's a true sense of patriotic duty! :D

For me it is Cronkite by far. Especially with Tomorrows Child in the background!

SSE will have firewalls protecting the egress routes and stairs for an emergency exit. Also in the event a fire is detected the emergency lights and exit signs that were being discussed would become active to alert people exactly where the exits are located. Being that there is no restraint...

Code requires emergency lighting in all egress areas of public buildings. There is no exception or exemption for amusement rides and officials do not relax life safety codes. Even if you have not seen them, the exit and emergency lighting is installed at SSE. That aside I would also assume...

Lets just assume for right now that the sensors are no longer needed and are removed. Even with the lights gone people will still congregate around the door opening to the load area simply by recognizing what portrait is above it. Therefore if we keep this going perhaps Disney should install...

Imagine the front door to your home - now take the door off of the front door and install it on the wall a few feet away from the front door.

If you have an eletric car that needs to be charged while parking is it still stealing to charge the car for storage while it is being charged for parking, or is charging the car prior to being charged for parking the way to avoid stealing for being charged for charging while parking?

Personally I think the BLT is a cookie cutter structure with a few tweaks thrown into it. Give me the choice to manage the construction of the BLT or the GF and I'll take the Floridian project in a second. There isn't much more to the tower than a typical high rise from the 70's and 80's...

Not even close in my opinion, the GF is a beautiful complex and is by far the best looking hotel on property.

There is no reason to try and inject common sense here!

Oh, well... - in that case perhaps he wants one of those government funded 25 million dollar weekend retreats! :D

Because it is logical and part of the political game playing - blame the government now for some of your problems and that way in the future you can get your bail-out. After all banks, automakers, airlines, insurance companies etc... have been bailed out - how would it be fair for Disney and...

You weren't coming off that way at all. Sorry if I implied that with the statement, I just meant that as of right now I have so far not been hurt by the financial situation but I know that doesn't mean it cant eventually happen. Sure my retirement funds are severely damaged but I am still a...

All jobs are necessary in my mind, I would love 100% employment and we all should feel the same, however it is now blatantly obvious that the way things operated just a year ago were not sustainable - that is the big picture. The big picture is that things didn't work the way they were before...

Exactly, well said! It is not just the greed and bad decisions on the part of the individual, but on the buisnesses and banks as well. The part of this that ticks me off is that the banks and their CEO's get bailed out and get richer, while the individual gets it you know where. They both...

Of course buisness travel will not go away entirely, however even after a recovery things will not be back to the way they were. A major reason for this is the fact that companies are now being forced to scale back and curtail wasteful spending since margins are way down. A blanket statement...
