This web site popped up recently. http://www.savedisneysteam.com/ And the petition: https://www.change.org/petitions/the-walt-disney-company-save-disney-steam Since WDW is run as a business, and not as a museum it is my opinion this rumor of replacing the steam engines is not far from from...

S&A 2715 is a GP35

If you know who George B. is and what he did for, and to keep the WDWRR running, you would know after his retirement this change was inevitable. As '74 said this is Disney, but more importantly this is TDO in its prime. If it costs less money to maintain diesels why keep steam? Just because...

The monorails cosmetic issues this thread address are important, no doubt. But have you ever stopped to consider that if they maintain the cosmetic stuff this way the monorail mechanical systems, which you can't see, are possibly even worse? I can't wait to see what happens when they try to...

There is no doubt Walt liked a clean park. It was indeed necessary as you said to differentiate his vision from others. Walt no longer visits the parks.

I thought that was the chicken dance?

Interesting. I assumed it was either due to security, or somehow preserving their brand. Do you know why they were removed?

There is no question that the old guard knew an played to their audience. They made cool stuff, including ques, with the resources available at the time. The guests then were a bit different too, IMHO. Contrast today the average guest needs to be hearded. Well maybe not with cattle prods...

I'm in line at mk and both lagoon and express seem to up and normal. No idea how many trains on which beam.

When one is not paying attention to what they swipe ... :(

Thanks, Steve. I wonder what single point of failure, power or otherwise, can shut down the mighty rails. I hope nobody got hurt.

It's 4pm and they are still shut down. 4 trains sitting in ttc and a bunch of starch shirts walking around. A system wide shutdown suggests more than a simple maitn. Issue.

Can't? Hmmm. I think you meant won't?

Don't apologize. Never on this subject. Admiral, Thanks for sharing. I got to see the bottom side of the SCA as it made a hard left turn over Cocoa Beach yesterday morning to get us our 15 seconds of shuttle butt looking for a break in the clouds. I forgot to look to see if they were dirty...

In theory it would not take much to prove Disney was negligent if harm befell another cast member in a crushed cab.... I am all for automation of the WDW monorail system. As has been mentioned it could go a long way towards improving system efficiencies. However I understand from personal...

Really? After the nightmare they had trying to get it work the 1st time I find it hard to believe they are changing the software. Unless there is a hardware change out somewhere that I missed I can't imagine why they would change the software. Last I heard Wayside was finicky. They might...

Rides cost money, shops selling stuff make money. If strip malls make money and you as a consultant could make this point (and a hefty fee) would you not head TDO in this direction? You need people to stay in the park as long as possible (to shop) so you do nighttime shows. If you can't see...

Hmmm. The monorail accident was bad. Did things change? Lawyers got paid and few operational suggestions (opps, I mean OGs) but not much changed in the big picture did it? My point is rather dull, but even significant events that don't drastically impact the bottom line don't seem to...

There is no questioning the movie and anc. sales were decent. My point was that the wrap probably helped a great deal to that end. In fact I suspect a significant portion of people who saw the wrap probably had never heard of Tron. From a marketing standpoint it was clever. The cost per...

Perhaps box office results were not as abysmal as they could have been because of tron o rail promotion? Not defending the or promoting anything....
