Backlot Tour Props

[ajkraz]

I was thinking about Disney and I asked myself the question, what is Disney going to do with the Backlot tour props? I know Star Wars stuff will probably stick around, they could slide the Roger Rabbit stuff back in without many noticing but what about the rest? There is a ton of Pearl Harbor stuff, not to mention a couple of other things that weren't disney that were featured and, of course, Walt Disney's airplane! Anyone help me out?

Probably where everything else went since they were just Rotting in the sun for so many years....

The old props will wind up piled high on some shelf in some restaurant or some attraction queue to make it appear old-timey.

One could ship all of it for a few thousand dollars in a few containers to the WDSP Backlot Tour, that one barely has any props whatsoever.

I'm pretty sure they paid Waste Management a few thousand dollars to handle the details, For such a money grubbing organization they sure let profit opportunities go to waste, Imagine the money an auction of those props would have brought in even if they did not sell Walt's plane, (Which I'm pretty sure will end up in an aircraft scrapyard as all traces of Walt must be destroyed at todays Bob Iger Company, And Gulfstream turboprop parts are bringing good money on the secondary market as they are still used for passenger service in Central America and Asia)

That Snowspeeder alone must fetch six digits. And all those Pearl Harbor props at least $2.15. Maybe even $3.

The rabbit stuff should stay. Roger Rabbit belongs in DHS, they're siblings. (Who are we kidding, let's start with fixing his silhouette)

What is the story behind Roger's silhouette becoming so misshapen anyway? Is it just poor maintenance or was it done purposefully?
