I guess I'm not seeing what you two are seeing. I am not against resetting WDI, but I foresee that this move will result in more Incredicoasters and Pixar Piers, not less.

I don't see how "bloated budgets and lack of original inspired projects...over last 20 years" is going to change itself. The IP mandate started under Iger is still there and shows no sign of abating. That's not on WDI. Bloated budgets are an organization/bureaucracy thing that can be...

God, this is so embarrassing. Does this company have any creativity and ideas left? They're just continually gonna flog the past?

The ending song is not new. It's called "Someday" and was composed by Alan Menken for "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" in 1996 but cut from the movie in favor of "God Help the Outcasts." Still plays over the end credits, I believe.

Maybe by the 50th the virtual queue thing will be re-implemented? That's the question I've had in all this: how "temporary" is this temporary?

The strongest Fantasyland rides have a core gimmick or spark that underlines the whole ride. As long as that core is left communicated, there's no need for "monumental detail" or E-ticket aspirations. Many of these can be clearly pointed out: Pan is the sensation of flying, Mr. Toad's about a...

Shadowlands was an amazing maze. Honestly, no maze that ever gets put in that location ever lasts long, because it's such an orphan in that corner of the park. It doesn't matter how good or bad or what the theme is. It's sad, but at the same time the maze designers often put their more...

Hmmm... I am not aware that Vancouver would be cheaper than South Korea or Japan, places notorious for underpaying animators. I do think BC gives generous tax breaks, but I believe the main reason for Vancouver is its high talent pool for animation/game development, and it is not primarily a...

Cheap Labor??? Have...have you ever been to Vancouver? Are you aware of how Canada works?

I don't like to judge like that. As I say to them,"You do you." It's no skin off my back.

If I'm a vlogger, don't I only want the lowest (Imagine) tier. I go to the park five days a week and log, as per my "job" and take the weekends off. Most economical right? Is anyone clamoring for logged content on the weekends?

"[Release on Disney+] has significantly enhanced her ability to earn additional compensation..." So they're treating their workers like unpaid interns ("the compensation is you get to put it on your resume!"). This company can go to hell. Hopefully tons of top Hollywood talent refuse to...

I suspect losing some of the best talent has already been factored into the equation. Disney doesn't really care about talent anymore, certainly not on the creative side. The more important trait is obediency, willing to follow the company line/absorb the groupthink. It's all a value...

Man, is that ever a bunch of gobbledygook, puffed-up language that means exactly nothing. Was there a word minimum for this application?

I'm confused. What part of a busbar dark ride is not ADA compliant, or OSHA compliant??

Yes, this is true. Not to mention all the technical achievements they can accomplish (designing practical effects, all the ride systems). However, I do feel at heart Imagineering is a visual medium. Historically, the inspiration came from pieces of illustration or an animators' character...

The indecision is even more confounding because... well, there's not much creativity going on. Mostly Imagineering these days is trying to replicate the look of a movie. The visual development is mostly already done for you! The character design is mostly done for you! With the way rides and...

The show building would tower over the Casey Jr area and ruin the whole lovely feel of Fantasyland. How can you load the train from the opposite side? The Disneyland trains must load train right.

LA studios are busier than ever and Hollywood is going through the biggest building boom I think it has ever experienced. It's somewhat true that less film is made here nowadays, and tax breaks may be a big reason for it (in truth, California gives plenty of tax breaks to productions), but it...

I believe Tony Baxter somewhat invented this approach. I vaguely remember a podcast where he mentioned it was important to have this "entrance hall/exit hall" approach where you gradually bring people into the world and gradually exit them out of it, and these sort of greet and farewell rooms...
