I doubt he has the pull or power to stop it if he wanted to? That would be nice .... I'm guessing he played a big role in getting that Hat removed so maybe he used up his goodwill on that like many say Lasseter used up his on Cars Land. All they care about is finding quick fixes that really aren't quick ...

The BAH was removed in late 2014. Weis was promoted in early 2016.

I know when it was removed, I was checking the thread daily for updates. I'm pretty sure he was a part of it, what does his promotion have to do with it? I wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise ...

If he had used up his political capital, he would not have been made the top Imagineer. The difficulties with Shanghai Disneyland also would have been far more damning.

The hat was removed largely because TCM signed on to sponsor the ride. TCM wanted their ride front-and-center, unblocked.

This is similar to the wand on Spaceship Earth, which was removed largely because Seimens signed on to sponsor.

IMO (and this is very subjective) I would rather ride Mickey than Alcatraz in their current (and mostly final) forms.

I hate asking questions like this, I really do, but just wondering:

Do you think the Star Wars ride will be much more physically intense than the Mickey ride? Will they have different height requirements?

I will need to double check, but Alcatraz should be more thrilling than Mickey. Also, the whole riding Mickey vs. Star Wars was more about making the point of how both will be enjoyable standouts with slightly different target groups.

He was still influential enough (DCA, Shanghai) to get the hat removed then. Just wish I could say the same about the new DOM Icon looming over Harbour Boulevard. As for the TCM theory, That's just plain false the hat was planned to be removed LONG before TCM was in the picture. It wasn't the Siemens scenario at all.

You can always ask the cast member directing you if you can "get the cowboy scene". If they are running two cars they will most likely be able to accommodate your request. This may mean waiting for the next vehicles to come, but not always.

I guess I never really thought about it, but makes sense that the front car is who gets the cowboy scene, and why I'm pretty sure I'm always in the second car and almost never see it.

If we end up witha body wars and star tours atthe same time situation... that will suck.

Why not just replace one scene in gmr? Seems easy enough. And while you are in there... replace the first set too :)

Mickey Mouse presents the great big movie ride!
Mickeys magic brings you and Mickey and all his friends in the movies

Queue
Would remain intact expect the room with the movie playing would be cut in half to become a preshow room

Preshow would be Mickey getting ready to give you the behind the scenes tour of the theater then he finds the sorcerers hat thinking it was a prop and starts moving around then a burst of magic hits the wall. Mickey then notices the guests and says sorry about that he got carried away...welcome to the mans Chinese theater. Broom moves in corner of room and falls down then things start falling suddenly a explosion of magic as the hat hits the floor transporting the whole theater in to the movies

-Ride-building is gutted
Doors "fall" open guest exit to magic tour cars (sorry only thing I could come up with for trackless
Cars) suddenly a swirl of magic pushes the car forward in to the first movie

Room 2 steam boat willy narrator

Is in the center and the cars are going around it. Magic shoots out of the funnel and the lights go out

Room 3
Fantasia- first room with an AA
Water shoots up all around your car as you continue to the next room

Room 4- magic splits the cars up in to were the Indy room 1 and 2 were screens show Mickey heading into the cave of wonders the car turns to face the cave prop and dive in the cars spin once or twice and meet and crash into treasure
An AA Mickey stands in front and rubs lamp and AA jafar rises up and yells POWER! and turns into a snake.
Mickey fights off the snake and the cars roll forward.

Room 5 End

Magic swirls around cars door open and your back in the theater.
