Good to hear. The current Dr. Who Experience in Cardiff is a walk through attraction with a walk along guide. It goes through about 5 or 6 different rooms. The attraction itself is up to Disney standards. It does not have the huge capacity of a Disney attraction . . . right now. Put it on a...

I have a hard time believing that such a huge and complex thing could be removed in a couple hours, monkeyed around with, and reinstalled before 9:00 a.m. the next morning. Sorry, but unless you were an eyewitness to that, I have a very hard time believing you. Plus, why didn't they just...

Nobody as far as I know. Possibly the BBC, but I can guarantee you that whoever has the rights would very likely be thrilled to get some cashflow via a Disney based attraction.

So what I'm reading is that many Disney people want it fixed, but all the finger-pointing has prevented anyone powerful enough to step up and demand payment for the relatively minor repairs that are needed to get it done. Meanwhile, the bean-counters aren't convinced that a working yeti would...

The Dr. Who Experience in Cardiff, Wales, is closing. Disney could pack the whole thing up, drop it behind the UK pavilion or between UK and Canada, and have a great attraction within a year. We've seen the Dr. Who Experience a couple years ago, and we're seeing it again before it closes...

If all that were true, then why did they install that multi-multi-million dollar yeti in the first place?

True, but I don't buy it. IIluminations without the tail is still a great fireworks show, but with the tail it's better. That tail also costs a good chunk of money every night to put on. Because it's there, people make a point to stick around until 9 pm to watch it, and probably pay for...

Understood. The problem is that the most reasonable explanation is the correct explanation about 80% of the time. There's always that pesky 20% when that isn't true, and perhaps that's happening here. The problem is that more people would be excited about EE if the yeti actually worked. It's...

Yeah, I'm just an old skeptic. I don't follow these boards closely enough to really know who's reliable and who isn't. Maybe I'm very wrong, but it boggles my mind to think that Disney would let this embarrassment continue for the better part of a decade due to budgetary squabbles. To think...

Sure, it's been mentioned, but none of us really know what's true and what's not. Until they fix it, few of us can really know what the problem really is. I'd love to simply believe you, but I cannot know for sure it you're a perfectly competent source or not simply because I do not know you.

I can't imagine Walt would have let an embarrassment like this wallow around due to concerns about which budget pays who for what. Let's have a new pavilion at Epcot dedicated to bureaucracy alongside Imagination. Iger, Lasseter, Eisner, Rhode, Sklar, Walt and Roy would be so proud to see what...

I still say that Epcot could host science fairs, bring in guest speakers, host TED talks, be a place where new products are announced, and otherwise be a dynamic place where truly newsworthy events take place. Why aren't the latest Nobel Laureates brought to Epcot in the same way that Super...

One has to wonder if the old concept of Epcot Center would work today. Do Energy, Motion, land, water, body, communication and "the future" still in and of themselves get people excited enough to bring them into the park? Would Horizons and the original Imagination Pavilion with Figment still...

It indeed must be recalled that DL was an absolute disaster on its opening day. Much of the infrastructure didn't work, most of the great attractions were not open or were not even built yet, and Tomorrowland was apparently a sign with nothing behind it. Then, they added and tweaked until it...

Thank you for thoughtful, detailed and long explanation of your analysis. I know what it takes to write an informative and well-thought post. I wouldn't be surprised if it took you more than half an hour to put that together. Whether readers agree with it or not, I wish more posts on these...

Fear not. SE is not going anywhere, and an Illuminations replacement is still quite speculative. Given the advances in technology, any Illuminations do-over will have to be fantastic to justify replacement. With that being said, if they IP it, anger, boycotts, spitting and gastric disturbance...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have heard more than once that SSE is the most-ridden attraction in all the parks. Most popular. Most iconic (behind the castle). Perhaps also the most edutaining attraction ever. Put another way, it will not not not go away simply because the German behemoth...

I've said it many times before, but I truly wonder about the snail's pace of new things at WDW. Except for DVC places, which seem to go from concept to drawing board to grand opening in about two weeks, everything Disney seems to take forever these days. Pandora took about 27 years to finally...

Also gotta love Katiebug's little synopsis by her name: Messages 1. Likes 6. Curious to see the tendencies and pessimism of the people who "liked" her post. Could be a doctoral thesis in there somewhere.

Gotta admit, I pretty much forget about this thread, but suddenly another "like" pops up, and someone new has enjoyed my page 3 post from March 7, 2014. Since then, the stock market has vaulted up, Pandorica has finally opened, the blonde haired wonder has become president, and my family has...
