N234MM has current certification. WDW Co. keeps the plane’s FAA cert up to date. I would not recommend trying to fly her though.

Don’t know.

She’s being restored for display. Haven’t heard anything about flightworthy.

None that I’ve seen. i don’t know where along the route the train derailed, so I can’t point you to a specific city. As far as I know, it’s a word of mouth story without much detail passed on by Fowler and Card Walker back in the day.

Replying in response to a few comments: They are prestressed, hollow polystyrene core with steel reinforcement. The 71 guideway has continuous post tensioning through every 6 spans. The Epcot guideway may be every 5, but don’t quote me. Like anything, they are not forever, but with proper...

Yes, of course.

Patent this immediately.

I laughed a little too hard at this.

Absolutely 10,000% would ride that.

I would be patient. The first year of operations of any restaurant in any theme park is trying to figure out what works and what needs to change. Menus change, operations change, formats change. You can plan something down to the last butter knife, but guests often have different ideas once they...

Don’t panic.

Correct. That’s also not show lighting, so you’re seeing reflections.

Test Track is getting a bit dated.

I wasn’t sure if they were asking if he was still in charge or the face of the project, or why he wasn’t the guy talking on stage or why things were changing so much from the original with Tom back in charge of the park creative. It sounded like the last one, so that’s what I answered. As to the...

Tom is the top of the ladder. Zach is the epcot portfolio exec and planning exec who is overseeing the project day to day. He’s not a bad guy.

Not silly, it’s a legitimate concern. Moana isnt as small as it seems. You have the redo of SSE, the redo of MetLife which has multiple things inside, Guardians, which is an E ticket, Poppins (both what takes shape and environment), the new night shows and unannounced stuff on the boards...

Thanks!

No, I actually dislike it, and think it’s the opposite of what should have been done. I know the reasons they doing it. The new epcot will be very pretty, with some really fun new attractions/areas/retail/dining/night time show, but the redo destroys what made the park unique. It’s now going to...

Tom’s mandate was update for today. That means the park he built is no longer, but there are interesting new things to come. Epcot Center had its time. The company has given a request to go in a new direction, and that’s what this new epcot will be. Do I wish they had kept EPCOT Center and...

They just aren’t ready to announce anything yet. The lack of announcement is as telling as if they had announced plans. There’s plenty of time, and there’s still more to come for epcot version whatever this is. The pavilion has not been forgotten.
