Maybe he was just peacefully protesting the mask policy.

Yes, it does. In states that have right-to-work laws, you don't have to be a member of the union to work there. In other states, you have to. So since this a Disney forum. At Disneyland, you have to be an union member to work in any job that is covered by a union agreement. At WDW, you don't...

Florida is a right-to-work state, so workers have a choice if they want to join the union or not.

I think the name you are looking for is Paul Pressler.

That's the problem now, they are not looking to replace, just shutdown to save money.

Primeval and ROL were maintenance nightmares. They have been looking to replace Primeval for a long, long time!

The budget for the Norway pavilion included everything including Meet and Greet, restrooms, Maelstrom refurb. The main reason for the refurb was safety and to improve guest movement and prevent clogs and make everything a smoother transition. They removed the load area and combined into...

To re-theme the area in yellow could work and wouldn't affect much, but the area in blue is the Big Thunder Maintenance area including the roundhouse, so that wouldn't work.

That would never work. 1. It block access from Gate 3, it is the main road for supplies and equipment for Main Street, Jungle Cruise, Pirates and the rest of Adventureland including Splash, Big Thunder, and the parades. 2. It would block all the Splash Mountain maintenance access. 3. It would...

Yes, let's hope so. Access to the show lighting has always been a problem. During construction the lighting is easy installed because of scaffolding everywhere but after opening it was very difficult to access the lighting and other show effects because they didn't provide anything for...

That's too funny! Obviously, you haven't worked on the same projects as me.

They can control the pressure of the fountains at the top of the lift and the tri-jets at the bottom, besides that everything is random.

Yes, they can adjust the amount of splash easily with the splash cannons, it can increase the pressure so people going up B lift will get soaked with the right timing, but too many people complain about getting wet, so they just turn it down. There is a water level control system but that is...

I'm sure they will remove all the old AA figures, they are trying to get away from the old hydraulic AA's, hopefully they will install some of the new style AA's. They will gut the old ride control system and install the new Safety PLC system.

Brer Rabbit, trickster figure originating in African folklore and transmitted by African slaves to the New World, where it acquired attributes of similar native American tricksters (see trickster tale); Brer, or Brother, Rabbit was popularized in the United States in the stories of Joel Chandler...

I will have to disagree with you about Disney going cheap, the main reason they are doing this is to reduce operating costs, maintenance upkeep on both these attractions are very expensive. AA's are expensive to maintain, so they may add some new AA figures but I'm guessing more of the Little...

I don't think they will change the the actual ride itself, just like Maelstrom. They will only change the show portion, remove all the AA figures and replace with projection and video screens.

So now a fictional talking frog is racist?

Actually, it was a power struggle between Engineering and WDI about who was responsible but ultimately it was a business decision to just to turn it off because of safety and liability concerns. It is similar to what happened to the Mama Cearadactylus and the Jumping Compsognathus over at...

And what did they say was wrong with the figure? I also worked alongside WDI and Sustaining Engineers and WDI Show Programmers
