It appears to be a (trained) staffing issue. Starting up, adjusting, and monitoring these laser systems are not trivial tasks. Remember that these lasers are reasonably high powered and can burn a person's skin if aimed incorrectly - that's why they are tested and tuned every time they are...

I'm available. All they have to do is ask !!

More than that, in this case. I wiggled my way into the building this morning and talked to a security CM. He showed me an area of the attraction where WDI (?) has setup all kinds of (portable) laser-based measurement equipment. He said that they have been short-cycling various movements and...

I wish I had all the answers but I don't, and these are simply proposals meant to start the ball rolling. I did speak with an engineer from Brightline and his opinion is that the platform (only) would be in the median of I-4 and the station would then be a short walk over I-4 to Disney property...

Good point but to be technically correct the tag launches are off scissor lifts. In addition, the console shown is not part of any Disney launch system that I have seen. And in general, Disney uses graphical consoles (console drawn on a computer monitor), aided by a small physical work surface...

From what I hear, Disney has narrowed the probable locations to two, and favors one with the station straddling I-4 (not actually 'in' DS), with pedestrian bridges to a small transportation complex just east of the Team Disney building. I also believe that Reedy Creek has filed with Orange...

That's what I was thinking as well - remake IaSW with flair and panache !!

TDO has been sketching out / re-imagineering plans for the entire property almost yearly, since before opening day. As technology and attendance change for the better, so do the updated plans. Moving the berm at the MK has always been considered the way to expand the park. In fact there is a...

Those foundations are also the roof of the utilidors below, so they will remain as-is. They are adding to the utilidors too, for example, two new rooms to hold the Moana pumps and computers.

Epcot staffing IS an issue, just like the MK. But also, neither Epcot nor DHS have requested live Show support yet, so my guess is that MK will be first to return to fireworks and the other parks will follow in late July (again, my guess here). PAC is not specifically tied to the DCP. PAC...

According to a retired Imagineer (that I'm related to), everything related to getting the fireworks back on track has finally been accomplished except for staffing (PAC), which the MK is scrambling to figure out. She also mentioned that testing at Epcot is going well and that they have been...

Rhode Island ?

Does Wright Patterson still have the alien remains from Area 51 ?

Sorry, poor choice of words. Disney has a provision in their contract with all three U.S. suppliers, that after <some number of years/months> they can return any unused material. This was what I meant by expiration date. The explanation I got about this is that the rules for pyro inspection(s)...

Well, pretty good point except that there are limits to the cram rate and some of those limits are not directly covid related. For example, the RCID fire marshal sets (max) park limits based on several things, one being how many CMs are present at work in the park (for crowd control, evacuation...

Might I ask where you got that information ? Because I do believe that track installation and tunnel prep are moving along (albeit at a slow rate). Thanks

or Mongolian...

It's at the CM gate and path going backstage (on the left), near the Tomorrowland Terrace (on the right).

Of course, keeping the attraction open while they make the changes would be the perfect time for them to re-write the spiel to include the new empty areas - or to even place temporary things (just for laughs) in those empty spots, until the new figures could be installed. I've always felt that...

As I recall, the first proposal for high speed rail between Orlando and Tampa was related to Tampa's bid to host the 2012 Olympics. Tampa did not have enough infrastructure to host the billions of guests that would arrive (and all try to eat lunch at Fuddruckers at the same time). By adding...
