Jason Kirk New Magic Kingdom Head

[Phineas]

Does he have a structured settlement, but needs cash now?

Thaaaanks, that song hasn't been stuck in my head in a couple hours, I was starting to miss it.

I'm biased, since he's a Penn State IE and I personally know him, so I think it's a great hire. Incredible work ethic and genuine enthusiasm for the parks.

Hopefully he's not stifled and can be allowed to do a good job. It sounds like he's a good choice. I hope it translates.

Risky move. Is he gonna hit on all ladies (forget about it if they're wearing green face paint), walk around with all the CMs and start fistfights with misbehaving guests, and occasionally stand on the castle forecourt delivering an over the top incredibly hammy speech about emotion and love?

Interesting. TDO must know something that we don't to move him into the position of the busiest theme park on the planet. Even if the MK is flipped many times a day to hold that title of attendance it still barely is.

I hope the best for him and to Dan and to the Magic Kingdom.

Sounds like very optimistic news for MK. I wish him good luck for the years leading up to Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary.

Out of curiosity who are the minority leaders at Disney world?

 

[WEDwaydatamover]

Not quite sure what you're asking disney4life2008?

 

[THEMEPARKPIONEER]

Maybe he will bring in a light parade lol

 

[geekza]

Every new leader is an opportunity. I look forward to seeing what he can bring to the park.

CM's should avoid wearing red to work when there are rumors of layoffs...first ones to get whacked every time...just saying.

Seriously, would you rather have another MBA running things or a lawyer? Anyway, I thought Industrial Engineering had more to do with processes...

Industrial Engineering is both of these things, and more. Efficiency, processes, systems, planning, supply chain, etc, etc...

If he can bring Spock back to life, I'm sure he can brush off some of that skill to his cousin so he can bring MK back to life!

There is a very good interview with Dan Cockerall discussing his thoughts on MK while departing. He suggested Jason Kirk to be a great successor. As it happened to be...

Good long interview on youtube posted this week I believe.
