Yes, and I acknowledged that. Re-read my post. Did you not catch the part in parentheses where I stated that you probably referred to it as "Epcot Center" out of habit or loyalty to the old name?. Doesn't change the fact that you referred to it continually in the present tense, which kind of...

Really? What is this technology that has obviously been developed but just not been put into practical use yet? I wasn't aware that NASA (or anyone else for that matter) already had the ability to put people into hypersleep for long duration trips. :hammer:

Considering the fact that you've been referring to it in the present tense, I would say that no, you were referring to the Epcot of now (just called it Epcot "Center" perhaps out of habit or loyalty, as many people do), and now that you've been proven wrong, you're changing your story. All...

I think you dodged my question though, and I suspect it's because you know in all honesty that the theme park (while certainly a great theme park) does not actually meet the criteria for what Walt was setting out to do. So I will ask again, only this time more pointedly... Tell me what about...

In what ways does it "embody his ideas"? :confused: Walt intended the city, Epcot, to be a real working city that would also be a proving ground for the latest cutting edge technologies. In what ways does Epcot, the theme park, meet this description?? If anything, Epcot is an educational...

Perhaps it "will be" a fantastic park once the additions are made to it, but until then, why don't we rate it based on how it is currently? I think Walt might have been intrigued by the concept of themeing a park around the history, culture, etc of a particular state. After all, that is a...

I agree. I love Epcot and have long considered it my favorite Disney park (although DAK is really neck and neck with it truthfully). But it is not Walt's Epcot.

I would not have chosen MK as the first choice either, but keep in mind that Walt was well aware of the fact that plans called for "a second Disneyland" to be built on property. And while his primary focus and interest were on Epcot (the city, not the theme park), all indications are that he...

Yep! That's the one! Thanks for finding it. I thought it was very cool. Equally cool is this "how we did it" behind the scenes video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HustdKtukMc&annotation_id=annotation_65596&feature=iv

I think this was posted before, but no worries (I've never understood why people get so bent out of shape when someone posts something that's already been posted before anyway :rolleyes:). This was well worth seeing it again. I thought it was hilarious and very creative!

Parents who take responsibility for being parents and teaching their own children about the world would have no reason to be offended by what I said. It's been my experience that most people who fit that description tend to agree with that sentiment. If you were offended by it, then I'm sure...

Regarding the text that I've highlighted in red from your post, I'd like to know why you placed those links at the end of your post and shaded them in white. What is that all about??

Actually, you were replying to me, and I hadn't asked a question... so that excuse doesn't really fly. I've posted your response to me below. Can you honestly read it and tell me that you can't see how someone would take offense to it? Also, what Lorimistress called you was a "n00b" which...

"One of these things is not like the others*. Which one doesn't belong?" :lol: *Two have outstanding, immersive themeing. One,... not so much.

Agree (almost) 100%!! :sohappy: I'm always amazed when people cite "themeing" as a reason for thinking Everest is a great attraction. As a roller coaster, it disappoints, but so would most of Disney's coasters without their themeing to make up for it. But in the case of EE, exactly what...

If they "have a parent that is all knowing in every situation that comes along".... then why would it be necessary to "pray for them"? :hammer:

I always think it's funny whenever someone poses the question of "what are parents supposed to tell their kids?". Don't most parents know how to communicate with their own kids??

I remember seeing something on YouTube where a guy replicated Tower of Terror in his garage. That was pretty cool.

You may have already thought of this, but unless the screen is also moving in sync with the chairs, then you're not really going to accomplish the effect. Especially when they make the jump to light speed. Unless you have a way to tip the screen and chairs back at the same time, it is not...

From what you've said here, it sounds to me like maybe Disney parks aren't really your thing. Have you tried Universal?
