I'm surprised that Disney has not yet showcased any of the animatronics.

The point here being that Disney used to care enough to *not* show open scaffolding. This is no longer the case.

That not back-of-house if guests can see it under normal circumstances. It's the line where the budget ran out.

To be fair, TJ was amazing regardless of where they put him. He was a trainer in MK West ops long before the studios. His Jungle Cruise was dry and exquisite. But, predictably, his HM was outstanding.

They would likely have to re-do all the video featuring the chairman.

"Zi" as in "kingfisher."

Back when Thunder opened at the MK in a time when CMs barely knew what a computer was, training took the entire operations crew less than half of the month they were given.

Well, if you're interested in Horizons, you could catch his story with cartoons and pictures at Mesa Verde Times.

The mech for Ariel's rock is the lone remnant of the Muppet Show. I think the current show needs to be destroyed. I turn 50 this month and my last job for the mouse was that show. And I wasn't even in the first set of people trained. Bad Memories. It should have gone a long time ago. Is it...

Does anyone know who did the animatronics at the Hagrid coaster?

Is the centaur a static figure?

Would there be much improvement if, as some have suggested, the RVs scooch around a bit during the simulator sections?

Does the turntable rotate and stop (like COP)? Or is it meant to be continually turning?

Does anyone know which company created the animatronics for this coaster?

Do you have any more information about the switch on this ride? I know there is a high-speed switch, albeit on a different type of system, on Forbidden Journey.

I only suggested that the market was diminishing. But if you believe that simply stating that this market still exists wins some internet points, then fair enough.

Except those children and grandchildren want their own, new experiences. The nostalgia that their parents hold so dear is perpetually lame... apparently. Disney is painfully aware of this as nostalgia is their main product.

Despite the occasional exception, Nostalgia is an investment with increasingly diminishing returns.

I think it was a misstep to include English and French dialog. It seems like there are two hosts. And I really enjoyed the "original" French ghost host. But would the French actually get angry if the dialog was all English? WDI went to a lot of trouble showing them they weren't in France...

I was really hoping they would "fix" the shadow of the piano player; make it seem like it was playing rather than just rocking back and forth. The organist in the ballroom, though now playing a different tune, is back to peeking up at the guests. The AAs in Thunder Mesa were *very* lively...
