    Lost attraction oppurtunity?

    Which rumor? I do agree most rumors are not worth their time listening to. However when the man that helped build most parks, knew Walt personally, and is a Disney Legend speaks, it's probably true. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/epcot-sinkhole/...

    Lost attraction oppurtunity?

    Body Wars and Star Tours all used the same parts and technology. Its called ATLAS. Disney purchased 2 sets 1 for Star Tours in DL and Body Wars. They then bough the tech in the mid 80s, and installed the tech and simulators in the remaining Star Tours Attractions among other things. As of 2014...

    Lost attraction oppurtunity?

    From what I understand everything is still there. With the exception of Body Wars which was stripped for Star Tours since they are the same platform. There was an article in the paper that said everything was there when someone stole Buzzs clothes and sold them on Ebay. There may have been a...

    Has anyone seen old items from the Great Piggy Bank Adventure for sale after it closed?

    It was a pretty cool attraction when it was there. I did it with my wife and kids. There used to be a place in Haines City that bought surplus stuff from Disney but there not there any more. I don't think there is any place left that still buys up stuff like that and resells it like they used to.

    High Capacity/Tractor Trailer Disney Transport

    Come to think of it, during the firestorm of 98 I think it was, Disney considered sending 10 RTS and possibly 1 Superbus to help with the evacuation on the east coast of Florida.

    High Capacity/Tractor Trailer Disney Transport

    I can answer questions about both the Superbus and parking trams as I used to drive both. The 2 Superbusses were originally a pilot program from the manufacturer. There was only 10 made initially. One of the selling points was that the trailers could be configured in a passenger capacity, or as...
