Right last comment on the sillyness from last night and today.

I have personally messaged Marnie and spoken to him about things... Anything that occurred previously is water under the bridge and not worth bringing up again.

He seems like a knowledgeable and decent bloke who as it happens doesn't live very from me!

I'm drawing a line under it... I will take his advice and try not to bite if I am criticised however I will reply if I feel criticism is unfair.

Whilst I am sure I will have differences in opinion during my time here I won't insult people for their views.

Many thanks if you understand.

I was pointing out that Disney deals in illusion, not reality. There's nothing wrong in dealing in illusion but when people confuse illusion with reality, we have a problem.

I'm sure a lot of people that visited UoE were also under the impression that that the solar array on top of the building provided a substantial amount of power for the vehicles in the pavilion and/or was cost effective. Neither was true then or now. It's not that it couldn't be done. The point is that it wouldn't be at all cost effective and would be an example of poor energy management and wasteful to boot.

It's not to say that photo voltaic arrays are not useful. They are very important for off-grid applications in remote areas on earth and in outer space. And they can be used for emergency power when the grid goes off line for traffic lights and other essential power needs.

I can't help but wonder how many people were left with the impression that the energy needs of the UoE were supplied in large part by that solar array. And also, after seeing the Astuter Computer Review and Backstage Magic, how many people came away with the impression that WDW had a huge central computer complex that ran everything in the resort?

Those concepts tend to indelibly stick in the minds of some people. They come away from WDW with the idea that Disney is somehow able to defy or change the laws of physics and logic.

Blurring fantasy and reality can lead some people to believe that 20K was a worthwhile attraction.

Thank you. But the new one will be far far better in both quality and content :)

I'm so looking forward to that. I hope the ending for Imagination might be just as touching or emotional as the previous one. Seriously hearing the old Imagination area music playing over old video footage of Dreamfinder and Figment interacting with children actually choked me up in a strange way. Maybe this is why I'm so looking forward to the release of "Figment 2" since I already own "Figment 1". The Figment comics might be the closest that people (Especially the next generation) would get to know Dreamfinder and Figment though.

Well, until the mid 80s they did. Or rather two of them that did most of it.
