I was aware of Tomorrowland 2055- I've even written about it with concept art. I just didn't realize Tony was involved with it.

Come this summer, I will be investing in Disney's common stock...,
We will prove to these cold-blooded cogs what we the consumers are made of!

Which is another reason why Toontown Online should become a franchise. The villainous robot cogs are symbolic of their own past and current leadership trends.
Think about it, the world's first ride where guests are actually encouraged to bring their iPhone, tablet, with them onto the Ride vehicle. Using Augmented reality with their smart device, riders can choose from various Gags from the video game; pies, anvils, seltzer bottles, etc. They swipe the gags from their touch screen at animatronic cogs and simulated explosions occur after defeating the cogs
Not to mention no need for a height requirement

It would be for voting to control the board of directors

If you look at share allocation activist investors have a snowball's chance in the hot place of making meaningful changes on the BoD. It's also why Disney holds it's shareholders meetings in East Armpit in God's Country so investors cannot physically show up and demand a seat so they can vote their shares.

Because proxy voters count less than people who walk into the room. Oh wait, that's actually not the case.
But again, per the usual, your useless contribution to the discussion has not gone unnoticed.
This entire topic is the reason why I question the value of fandom and fan communities at all. People are just so desperate to tear everyone and everything down. It's sickening. Has ANYONE associated with TWDC for the past 50 years since Walt died been anointed for sainthood by people around here? Everyone's a sellout, everyone's been crushed by the machine. Everyone's a shill. Everyone who has disagreements within the business is a hero if they leave. Everyone who's been forced out is a martyr, unless that person was a sellout before being forced out. So much axe grinding. And it looks as if people found a former WDI guy to help them along.

Shrewd move to avoid that pesky 100% profit.

I would have kept it if I did not think it was going to zero in the next 3-5 years.
And before someone trots out the tired ford thinks WDW is going to close, No the business units outside of cable networks are doing fine.
TWDC will fail because of instead of cutting the cable properties loose while they are still worth something Disney will double down on 'saving market maker status' on cable and bankrupt the company doing do.
Reality is cable bundling is going the way of the buggy whip.
Parks and Studios will continue under new ownership. TWDC as a corporate entity will be no more. ABC who knows considering they are the ratings basement dwellers, cable propertes who knows

Disney's market cap: 177 Billion Dollars
Disney's stated tangible assets: 69 Billion Dollars
Disney's Media Networks Revenues: 6 Billion Dollars per quarter
Yeah, that unit under performing by 11% will totally dissolve the entire company.

Yup. Not that anyone has a crystal ball, but Disney has always been a sound investment. It looks like the days of shares splitting are gone, but going from $42.00/share to today's $119.00, isn't too shabby!

Necromancy!
Unfortunately Eddie has not returned. Instead of creating a new thread, I decided to bump this one because it is such a great artifact that I am sure many newer members did not know exists and some may have even forgotten. Also, more importantly, Eddie was the guest on the latest episode of the Themed Attraction podcast and it’s a great interview. He’s as energetic as ever and it’s a great listen.

Back in April, Eddie also appeared on the Season Pass Podcast. It too is a good listen, but a bit stiffer, for lack of a better word.

thanks for the promo! I try to find different angles and attitudes for the same questions so the audience is not entirely bored.

We appreciate the posts and podcasts Eddie!
I feel it's important to put the expert opinions of yourself, Tom Morris etc out there, not just to document the interesting tidbits of what was done in the past, but to remind fans of themed entertainment about the importance/potential of the industry. With some of Disney's recent projects it feels like the knowledge that was collected and past down was forgotten, but you help to remind us that it is still out there for others to learn.
