I'm sure plenty of people are familiar with the true concept of ostracism. Can we take the person most ignored (I'm sure that's a metric the site owner has) and just remove them? Any guesses on who that might be?

You're completely wrong, as usual. ESPN pays the NFL 1.9 billion for the entire NFL media package, which includes exclusive access to highlights, media access and other things. This is almost double what other networks pay, because those highlights are essential to Sportscenter, the afternoon...

Only "official" visits complete with entourages are usually noticed/discussed- and then we get fools bloviating about how no managers ever step foot in the parks. I see people like you're describing all of the time. You have to know where and how to look. If they're conspicuous about their...

I had a big reply all typed out and decided to delete it because it's just not worth discussing if you're involved. ESPN has problems. ESPN will eventually solve them. Luckily, the other business units at TWDC are doing well enough to "float" ESPN through for at least a few years. By then, I'm...

I lava that short!

Replace it. Falling water does not and will not ever be suitable for those sorts of projections. Disney knew this almost 20 years ago. I'm not sure why they felt the need to do such a thing when the alternatives are proven, impressive, mature, and easy to do. Not even one in one thousand people...

Just as long as the show isn't a Remember -> Magical conversion I think we'll be okay. I almost cried when I saw the follow up to Remember, and it wasn't for good reasons. :oops:

Thanks for sharing. Are the vests uncomfortable on your shoulders? I can deal with that, but I know lots of people have issues with the vest on various manufacturers digging into their shoulders. Is there still a "stalling" feeling where there's almost a constant push-pull on the train as the...

Well, we know Walt loved communists. :cautious: Seriously though, I can't fathom why people don't understand the Walt's ability to market and sell his products were probably just as important or even more important than his creative skills. In fact, his creativity is what allowed him to...

I've pointed out all of the things right with Rivers of Light plenty of times too, I think it's a solid show through and through with some severe problems that have yet to be sorted out. The back waterscreen was something tested and cancelled in Glendale and at DCA back in the early 2000's and...

For now that's true. This time next year that permitting and fire lane stuff will be different, as will the backstage routing of the parade. Splash Mountain isn't closing this summer for repairs or a rehab. It's closing to facilitate all of the stuff going on behind it. There's a substation...

I want De la Terre à la Lune back so desperately! Combine that old theme and make the ride actually ridable with the new trains (I haven't heard about their comfort level, but I'm sure it's better than the older trains) and I'll probably book a ticket to Paris just to ride it. And this is...

Take a theme like Journey to the Center of the Earth @ Disneysea and mix it with a ride layout similar Volcano: The Blast Coaster at Kings Dominion (but make it a Vekoma flyer) and you'll have a pretty good idea of what it was supposed to be. They drifted between a suspended coaster, an inverted...

Walt never had corporate sponsorships. Walt never used IP's and never loaded stores with branded product. Walt never had trans-media crossovers with TV shows promoting a park or a park attraction promoting a new movie. Oh wait... he literally invented those ways of selling product. INVENTED...

So... you've got a virtual queueing system that requires people to walk up to the front of the attraction queue in order to book a spot in line- unless you've paid for a cabana (maybe)? Come on, seriously? They allowed you to book any attraction at any time back when express was free 15 years...

^ That vantage point is really the only place to see the show with all of the effects actually aligning. We've seen the show from pretty much every position possible in and outside of the theaters (including right next to the control booth) and it's painfully obvious that they (once again, like...

Nobody has seen the extent of bio-luminescent stuff throughout the land because it hasn't even finished being wired/networked yet.

The facts do bear that out. The obvious pricing is a clear indicator too. Bingo, same goes for Disneyland. I agree on most of those points, though the strollers/ecvs has more to do with demographics and the advanced scheduling is one reason we've completely stopped visiting Universal casually...

Way way super off topic, but I'll add: The overwhelming majority of visitors to Universal Orlando Resort are 1 or 2 day visitors. t's obvious that they want that golden "3rd day" to be spent at Volcano Bay. Are there people who stay longer? Of course. There are some people that find enough to...

^^ Hey Mr. "time to short the stock"- We're almost back up to an all time high, how you doin? :p
