    http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2017/05/02/espn-layoffs-ed-werder-state-sports-journalism Interesting bit from this article... Ed Werder *had two years left on his contract*. Others had significant time left on their deals. Yet they are being paid not to work. That's a way to show The Street...

    Quoted twice on a post made 5 1/2 months ago on the same day....cool...... That said I stand by what I originally said. Haven't been in the last two years, but after going to the event for just about every year since 2001 I saw a pronounced decline in the quality AND quantity of the samples...

    Right now, they *finally* realize that the parks AREN'T a mature investment, thanks to UNI & HP. And TV/Cable, even though down, still delivers a much bigger (for now) slice of Revenue Pie then Films (even though up). And beyond the percentages, there's the fact that for years TV/Cable...

    When things were going gangbusters at ESPN, did any of that cash find it's way to plus the parks?... In the 'ESPN Heydey', the parks were seen as 'mature investments'... merely existing to add cash to the bottom line (and the recipient of as little CapEx as possible).... Basically all excess...

    According to Hollywood Reporter, there are at least 3 others that are having their on air time 'significantly reduced', including Hannah Storm. An other article in another site said that they are telling people under contract to take 50% less or they'll be put on the shelf - so it sounds like...

    Rumor Bye Bye (Tiki) Birdies?

    I've suspected that one of the reasons that they would (or are going to) reduce capacity is attraction/distraction capacity is distracting guests from their Sacred Duty to buy food, booze and plush. If you are sitting watching the Tiki Birds, then you aren't buying plush. If you are riding the...

    Rumor Bye Bye (Tiki) Birdies?

    I suspect such a list does not exist - at the very least in it's present form. ANY attraction, regardless of how popular and iconic, can have inappropriate IP crammed into it...

    If kids need IP in order to connect with the various cultures represented in IASW (not that they'd even connect THEN), then they should be spending more time in school and not playing 'hooky' by spending needed Learning Time in the parks...
