Miss? The PeopleMover is a man.

It's definitely a Miss ... Since fans have been missing it for 20+ years!

Miss? The PeopleMover is a man.

No, she is a woman, m’dear. Women move people, not men. Miss PM seems to be making a comeback. As long as they replace the tracks and update the indoor parts, I will gladly welcome her back!

Like the retheme or the fact that he helped save the tree? 2 big thumbs up for the latter.

He didn't really help save the tree. And he made some pretty weird/questionable decisions on the retheme (like replacing every single leaf on the tree).

There was nothing wrong with EDL/DLP, the park, as designed (the part he was responsible for).

Of course there was: It was incredibly expensive. They didn't just overbuild hotels (hotels are pretty cheap). They overbuilt the park too. And the idea that Tony is really bad with money and budgets would persist all the way thru his career.

Saw this two nights ago, and just thought I’d mention it for the heck of it. Are the work lights in this tunnel usually turned on like this? I’m sure it means absolutely nothing, but I’m so used to seeing these tunnels pitch black from the outside

I think I’ll continue to believe all the other stories I heard including the one from his own mouth unless you care to expand?

Isn't that where cast members keep the foosball table?

Is that even english?

The tree wasn't really in danger of being removed (maybe as an attraction). The footprint is too small to be meaningfully replaced by anything and the cost to tear it down would just be a waste. Case in point: Tony's long gone but the tree is still there.

They do have to send people through there every so often to do inspections and clean up work. Which is to say that it could be nothing.... but it could be something.

Where did you get this info?

The internet... long long ago.

I believe the tree was originally going to be turned into a shop but Baxter saved it and gave it the Tarzan theme cheaper than building the shop. Best of all, no cast members needed.

Those things don’t follow. The people who wanted to remove the tree are long gone. That they were were replaced doesn’t mean they were never there.

That doesn't really follow either though... Just because the people involved are gone, doesn't mean all the same criteria that would go into the decision making were suddenly resolved.

And all of this seems to ignore that Tony wasn't the key decision maker in saving the tree. Pressler would have been.

I’d like to call Tony Baxters biggest fan and friend to the stand. Ladies and gentlemen…. @Figments Friend

What you fail to accept is that Disney is not this super rational automaton that only does things based on some sort of God given rubric of “business.” What businesses value changes. Personal preferences vary between individuals and absolutely influenced their business decisions. So no, the criteria would not still exist because it is not a given constant, it is a variable that changes.
