    Test Track reopens without crash sequence

    Re: Re: Not much Rehab The "plywood" may have always been there but it used to be painted then. The round symbol used to be in the dead middle of the doors and when they first put the stuff up (or not painted) it covered up the lower portion of the symbol. The biggest reason I remember this...

    Who is Jim Hill, anyway?

    he's not a terrible critic at least like he used to be. I have noticed he has got a lot better at giving bothsides to a story and doing far more research before posting it. He still could e off here and there and other times be right on but he is on his way to becoming a legitimate reporter, at...

    Test Track reopens without crash sequence

    I posted this in another thread on test track but i'll put it here too. The crash car that used to crash then just sat there was a deep red older saturn sedan. The new crash car is a new white saturn suv. Form what I saw of it it looks llike the front end is permanantly crumpled and isn't...

    Test Track post-rehab

    I did notice on my last visit a month ago that the crash car had been replaced from the old saturn sedan (that used to crash and then just sat there) to a new saturn suv. The way the front end looked I would say it is not meant to be crashed over and over rather it's just a standing prop. On the...

    New Wdw Water Craft

    I can fuly concur about the weight to speed ratio.:) You have to realize that one reason they are so slow is they put a very low HP motor on them and then they detune them to only put out so much power. I have had a couple of time that the boat would baerly go over idle and I returned and...

    MGM...not what it used to be!

    imagineersrocks, excellent post! I have been thnking this park is getting worse and worse over the years to the point that besides RnR and ToT there isn't too much substance to this park anymore. Disney owns so many differnt production compaines in all forms of media they really need to...

    Tikki Room Under New Management Needing its own renivation???

    I have actually thought that now might be a good time to try out Walt's original idea for the attraction. Originally it was supposed to be a sit down place to eat. Why no do that to it. You could revive the original show even make it longer. Keep the fountain outside and redo the show a little...

    2004 Passholder Benefits

    Did you also notice how the dining discount really only covers the restaurants in Epcot and Downtown Disney. I few others will give a discount but not many.

    Fort Wilderness / pop up trailers- RV

    If they are driving down and really want a pop up have them check some of the dealers. I know that there are quite a few of the Coleman dealers that rent out the pop ups so I am sure there would be others. My wife and I have been wanting to get a trailer but don't really have a place to put it...

    Swan and Dolphin

    Yup, $129 for the standard room $159 for the lake or garden view $199 for the concierge rooms that all have a view of the park (at least what they told me) I am glad that my wife is a teacher. We are going for the weekend in may and since we like to spoil ourselves every now and then we...

    Swan vs. Dolphin

    All I can say is when I booked my room at the swan in may the reservation person told me that the swan was quieter and more romantic. The dolphine was a little more kid friendly. Since my wife and I don't have kids yeat we went for the swan. As for the rooms we were told that due to slower...

    Disney World: 2004

    I don't know how much credit I can give to the permit thing. Especially since Disney is basically thier own goverment on their property in a round about way.

    Hotel discounts for teachers?

    A litte off the path but still good to know. Sea World (I know it's not Disney) lets Florida teachers in for free. My wife is a teacher and has never paid to go there. Good to hear about the Swan and Dolphin. I think I just found where we are staying for the weekend in May.

    Mexico Update

    I have to second that. Most of that building is not used by the museum. I don;t know what is in the rest of it (most likely storage) but there is room. I have an original handout for Epcot when they were building it and you rode over on teh monorail for a preview at the station. I need to find...

    It's the end of the world!!!

    If they do in fact do a major makover I think it would invlove alot more advanced animatronics and better effects within the current building. And I do think it would invloved replacing the current ride system but using the same path. As was pointed out already for them to do such a major chang...

    Problems with the parks

    I agree that the park hours really haven't changed as much as people feel they have. I will have to add an exception to this though. I remember in the eighties (my high school years) that firends and I would drive up on the weekends to disney. I fully remember being at MK until 1am. If I...

    Monorail colors

    What about the BIG oversized wing that has three layers to it? Have to modify the Comtemporary for it to fit through though. :hammer:

    Monorail to MGM

    I do agrre with Tyler abot why the monorail would be effective but I see one possible thing that could cause it to be built. Orlando is currently working towrds greenlighting a massive transportaion project. So far the people running it have been pushing for a light rail which would really...
