ROE is not going anywhere for at least a couple of years. They just spent a lot of money on refurbs on the Earth Globe barge and the Inferno barge. They may just upgrade in the future with effects that really work well during the World of Color show.

A problem with this forum is when you try to provide some REAL behind the scenes info and then be called a liar by some self-called experts? http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showpost.php?p=3619545&postcount=1150

A FLAT OUT LIE?? You worked in operations for 5 months? and now you are an expert in everything even the engineering/maintenance side? I just think you are totally clueless and doesnt really know what goes on behind the scenes. I wasnt talking about the driver logs, they only see what they...

I have a bit of new info about the purple monorail, they downloaded the files from the onboard computer, and I don't know the exact timeline, but it would be nice to know. But it seems like purple was trying to go into reverse, the monorail was going forward then stopped, then e-stopped, then...

That is just another Disney Rumor, it never happened, they haven't changed the ride profile or the motion base since opening day.

Because that is where the majority of the maintenance workers are, on 3rd shift. It is a lot easier to work on all the rides when they are already shut down and make all the necessary inspections and perform preventative maintenance. 3rd shift always does the majority of all the repairs.

The fountain was already scheduled for a rehab, it had nothing to do with the fire. But I did hear the real cause of the fire(mainly smoke), it was by Club Cool, there is a little break area that CM's use near the stairwell and behind the bushes, apparently there was a lot of trash in the...

The fire was in an electrical room in the tunnel below.

Anyone remember when Innoventions first opened? GM had a big display in East Innoventions with their car and technology of the future. They had on display the EV-1 , the worlds first production electric car. But they sure didnt invest in the future, and that is why there are in the mess they...

Joe Rhode is charge of WDI projects like new designs and upgrades. He is not in charge of maintenance. Vince Bailey is the Attractions East Engineering Services (Maintenance) Manager. He is in charge of maintaining and fixing the rides including Kali River Rapids, Expedition Everest, Primeval...

There is no such thing as a "101 figure" anymore in any of the rides, as long as the ride is running, they will continue to put people on it. I know that makes for a very bad show, but there is hardly any "show quality" anymore, it is way down the list. I have seen it done at Dinosaur before...

They are already talking about using some of the technology developed for WoC for RoE. Mainly the newly developed LED lighting for the water jets and maybe instead of just having fountains on the Maxi Barges, returning the use of new water screen technology.

Maybe you should wait until you see all of his shows or all of his programs. He actually has 4 programmed shows where he dances to music. He does a mean MC Hammer, then sways softly around to a French love song, He is very impressive when you see him in his full capabilities. The programmers...

I heard they are developing a ride for Innoventions. It will be like a design your own ride experience, probably like a cross between Cyber Space Mountain and a Robocoaster.

Bob Iger was vacationing with his family this week at WDW. (I bet he didn't have to stand in any lines) At Epcot, he saw the Flower and Garden Festival, played Kim Possible, saw Chef Remy at France and then visited the new DVC properties at Contemporary, DAK Lodge, and the Treehouses.

Not everything works like it should, not even in Fantasyland. The Maintenance managers know everything that is not working. If it can be fixed cheaply and easily, then it gets fixed. But if it costs a lot of money, especially just some show item, then it usually gets no attention. They have...

Just to clarify a little bit, the ones getting laid off now. Their job classifications are not represented by a union, not individual non-union members. Any type of management isn't represented by a union and the others which are considered O & T (Office and Technical), like secretaries, payroll...

I'm 100% sure!!

Depends on how the testing goes, they just put it back in the water. They are testing all the effects and piping problems. Hopefully, it will be back working again.
