>>>I suggest you stop attacking someone who gives us more information than 99% of other members on this forum.<<< Exactly how have I attacked Corrus? I believe it was exactly the reverse. Truth is, Corrus' statements regarding Lasseter don't bear any resemblance to the situation right...

>>>LOL... You dont know what belongs and what not...<<< That's hardly a refutation of any substance. I understand your claims of having worked at WDI, and I have no reason to believe you did not. But even though you evidently have some kind of "thing" against Lasseter, everything I posted...

Re: the Fox Family Channel buy... Disney actually quietly tested the waters a while back to see if there were any interested buyers for ABC Family... Not a bite. The modest benefits they gained in this sale have not made any significant contribution to the company's bottom line, and this was...

>>>1st. Marty Sklar didn't need to go, he went voluntarily...<<< There's more truth to the idea that he saw the handwriting on the wall. Technically he left "voluntarily". Had he not, he would have been shown the door soon enough. That's pretty much not a question. >>>2nd. John...

As per the contention that the Chinese Theater cannot be professionally photographed... 1) When an entertainment company enters into an agreement with a sponsor or affiliated entity, their contract includes specifics as to what restrictions apply. This will often include professional...

I'm pretty sure the car was called the "Aero 2000". But that was back through the early 80's... when "2000" represented the future!

>>>Living Seas will probably get a facelift, but there isnt much that can be dont because the world's largest aquarium tank is right smack in the way, and would probably take 300 million just to configure differently. <<< Don't be so sure. There is plenty of room if you know how to use the...

>>>I would like to clarify whoever said "Mission Space is being paid 100% by Compaq". Actually that's where Disney is having a problem! Ever since Compaq combined with HP they don't know exactly how much money if any they will be getting. <<< No, that's been settled, and both sides are happy...

>>>. If true, I wonder if that includes the budget for Mission Space. <<< The money does not include MISSION SPACE at all. >>>Considering that Mission Space was 100% funded by Compaq, I'd say no.<<< Actually, it's a cash equivalent worth probably even more. Compaq is not putting up ANY...

>>>why does everything have to be based on a movie these days, lets see some original ideas.<<< Exactly. Seems Imagineering used to have quite a few non-movie dependent ideas some years ago. And they still do... RocknRollerCoaster is a fun attraction, that though music-themed, doesn't...

>>>They could not tie in with the movie ICE AGE it has nothing to do with Disney, it was made by FOX. I would love to see an Ice Age themed land.<<< Sure they could. ALIEN is a Fox movie, and they licensed the right to use that film's characters in a Disney Park attraction. There aren't...

>>>My main worry was it flecting off the semi-shiny wall which was right next to me, ya know? <<< Ha! Sorry, my mistake.

Well, wouldn't this be a natural extension of Dinoland? Living, Extinct, and Mythical, right? There's not already a Sabertooth Tiger on Dinosaur/CTX is there? I can't remember.

Very nice pics! Thanks for posting them... but just so you know, if you're worried about your flash reflecting off the building... from that distance, it's not going to be a problem. You might get a pinprick off a shiny globe, but nothing more if you're twenty feet or more away. And you...

>>>If they have got rid of that - albiet adding other effects - why clos Lion King story - which was always popular - so early? <<< Based on precedent, there's all kinds of fits and spurts that these retrofits go through. Parts of it are readied early, then there is testing before you...

>>>wow! i cant wait! where'd ya hear all that info?<<< Well... I got it from an animator working on the project. I posted it on Laughingplace. Animagic asked if they could reprint it. Then Fab read it on Animagic, and posted it back on Laughingplace with better emphasis, and a...

>>>It's my understanding that virtually the entire ride (Props, AAs, ect.) was destroyed.<<< The AA's weren't destroyed, and probably most of the props were saved. Set pieces were almost certainly entirely destroyed. All AA's are kept for future applications and recycling, and props, if...

>>>Strangely enough, the concrete has some etching and accents in it, which appear to be part of the larger whole, what of though, I haven't the foggiest. Things i recall: A few small circles, and then carved out lines forming a point which came from under the wall. <<< It's simply an...

>>>Don't the game wardens in Africa carry around guns?<<< You betcha. You think they want to take the chance of getting eaten? I don't care about the guns on the safari tour, but I DO want them back on the Jungle Cruise. Removing them was ludicrous.

>>>Here's something that I dont think has been discussed before, will there be any inversions? <<< Depends on the integrated ride film that goes with it... But I wouldn't put it past them. If I were programming the attraction, there'd be at least ONE inversion! But you're right... some...
