Recall that back in 2004, when Comcast was making noises about a possible buyout of Disney, the state conducted an analysis of RCID in light of the potential change in landownership. The report found the foremost cause for concern to be the possibility of a new owner replacing existing RCID...

It was a live stream, he was chatting with viewers.

I suspect such a pass would take this into account, with plenty of "free" Epcot days during the festivals.

OK then, everyone who won't be there and/or never thought that much of the show, please do also chime in.

Stock the turrets with incendiary rounds and you'd have a much more impressive effect than the current meteor showers.

That really does sound exactly like ole Bob "Never Give Guests IR Goggles" Iger. Exactly. I've personally never understood his unwillingness to simply give guests what they want, which is to say: more IR goggles. Hopefully whoever replaces him won't be so stingy with night vision headgear.

All of the latest Doppelmayr systems feature speed dials designed by Spinal Tap guitarist Nigel Tufnel.

There's at least one air-moving fan in the DHS station near the launch, it's been there since they started testing uncovered gondolas. I vaguely remember noticing more in the empty DHS station last weekend, but I wouldn't swear to it.

From Epcot to Magic Kingdom there's been no double screening since April 2017 when most of the MK security checks were moved to the TTC. But they've yet to extend the Epcot security perimeter to include the monorail exit.

This is likely part of the plan, but it's not in effect at the moment. In fact, the current wall situation requires you go to through security just to get from the Epcot bus/monorail to the east parking lots.

Since the on-ride video is supposedly being rendered in real-time, it seems they could feasibly simulate any time/weather conditions to match reality.

I do recall some of the towers peeking up between the pavilions from across the lagoon, visible from France over to Italy. Only noticeable from WS Plaza.

I seem to remember "The Dark Side of Disney" having an entire chapter dedicated to that type of thing!

The plot for the Asian resort was taken by the Grand Floridian. The Persian resort was to go north of the Contemporary and would have involved a more complex monorail layout that included a station/entrance in Tomorrowland, similar to Disneyland’s. The site for the Venetian/Mediterranean resort...

Some kind of work has been going on since November/December between the monorail station and ticket booths, supposedly for a new exit bridge although I don't recall seeing any official corroboration. There are some photos in these threads...

If the concept art is any indication, the walkway will eventually be integrated into the Tron entrance area under the canopy, probably continuing into Fantasyland like the old one.

I think most of the hate is channeled not so much at the concept but the execution. And that every time it closes for a major refinement, all they do is make the track even shorter.

That's worked for me with the last two magnets, but I assume it's at the discretion of the castmember.

If I put on my Bob Ross painter's fro, all I see are the trunks of some happy little trees against a nice light cerulean blue sky... just happy little accidents

If I'm counting correctly, this will be the fourth time the track has been rerouted/shortened. First for Space Mountain, second for Birthdayland, third for Dumbo 2.0. It's only about 2/3 the original length.
