Guys, almost everything that WDI does now is outsourced. Very little, other than project management and initial concept design is done in house. They still do have an R&D team at WDI, which I'm told is next to impossible to get into. Rides like Toy Story Mania were developed almost entirely...

Lubricated Yeti? Yikes!

Soarin'

As an eight year old that visited EPCOT a month after opening in '83, and then every following November for ten years, I found it to be fabulous. EPCOT was like nothing I'd ever seen before. The magical brillance of the sets, the technology, and the story telling, charmed me like no other...

More likely because it was the right thing to do.

^ To be fair, the Northeast Corridor is an old rail line rebuilt to modern specifications It's not as nice as the European counterparts, but for what it is, it does it's job very well. Hubs can be built and as traffic merits, they can then be connected.

I was thinking the same thing. An R/C car for $200? That's a deal. I have two that cost over six hundred a piece, after all was said and done.

They don't? Acela is run by Amtrak. Last I checked that was high speed. MI has "high speed rail." The Amtrak run between Chicago and Detroit is one of the faster lines outside of the Northeast Corridor. Really? I drive if I can go four to five hundred miles in six hours. I figure with...

Loved Bug Juice and the show that followed the Girls AAU basketball teams. Back when Disney Channel started, I was addicted to MMC, Tail Spin, any DTV videos, Disney Inside and Out.

^ See, that's what I was getting at many pages ago. There very likely could be a tender of defense in this case to the cheese manufacturer. If Disney supplied the cheese at the recommended temperature per the manufacturer, it would start to lean more towards a product claim, which Disney could...

Yep. The whole case is based off of that. If it was served per the parameters, I don't think they have a case. If it wasn't, then there's liability. I still don't think it's much, but it's there. Just my two cents. Like I said, I handled GL premises claims for airports (which are...

Didn't realize I was supposed to answer your test case.... :hammer: And no, I would find no liability on the restaurant. They took proper care in everything under their control. Kids do things even with the best of supervision. Whether or not eleven other jurors would feel the same...

An excellent test case. Now add in cheese that is above acceptable serving temperature, and a defective chair that contributes to the occurence. Entirely different case. Even with fault on the parents, there's still liability on the "restaurant." And yes, if the restaurant balked at my...

I know. I keep hoping one day someone will finally realize that Disney isn't infallible in lawsuits brought against them. They aren't perfect. And neither are parents, and especially the legal system.... :zipit:

Again, there is legal basis in this argument. If they had notice of the chair being defective, legally they must take steps to remedy it before it's used again. If you don't know the legal arguments to these allegations, well........I've said it already. And no one has complete and utter...

Then you must have exceptional control of your surroundings and kids.

And that's what we don't know, and none of the reports are saying. It's likely they're at thsi point to 1) file suit to protect their interests, 2) both sides feel there's legal liability on both parties, and 3) quantifying the amount of liability in monetary terms can be difficult. I'm not...

Yes, lawyers are constantly walking around the parks making sure the CM's are following manufacturer's instructions to the letter. :rolleyes: That is naive.

Now you're talking about attactive nuisance cases. That's a whole different ball game. Especially when it comes to kids.

^ Way to read into that. :rolleyes: No, I'm saying that in my years of handling high value general liability claims, there's a lot more to these than "common sense." Everyone is trivializing the whole case and making it much less complicated than it really is. Did Disney provide the...
