News Hatbox Ghost coming to Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion

[celluloid]

It definitely seems worth reminding people that much of the team involved in creating the WDW Hatbox Ghost is made up of the same people who were celebrated for his return at Disneyland.

There's more at play here than "kids these days just don't know how to Imagineer". I would think adults with sense would know that.

A project does not have to recieve equal praise as the last one.
You can appreciate the tech and know the teams probably did the best they could under the circumstances while knowing the executive level did not do it right.

Not what I'm suggesting in the slightest.

And yet no one seems to be doing that . . .

In case anyone cares about some internet randos opinion:

Definitely not a spot I like but it's surprisingly pretty fine in person.

 

[celluloid]

Bite me.

What was that about adult sense again? No surprise with those who used laugh emoji at it.

What are you talking about? Literally the most common thing I see is praise for the figure work itself, but the placement is all wrong.

You may need to take a step back if you are taking this too personally.

Projection at it's finest.

ok. If we are done with insults...

You did agree with the insinuation that the Imagineers working on this got to where they are by flirting with their superiors, so one might not be surprised that it could be taken personally.

Where did I agree with that? I stated that it was that they were not allowed by leadership to be your Joe Rhode types that people celebrate.

I said the mentality that people don't care is what gets us the DVC buildings and indoor rollercoaster cloned with missing elements and underfunded upkeep throughout the resort.

Perhaps you didn't mean it that way, but the antecedent to "mentality" here is unclear enough to be construed as such.

EDIT: Sorry, responded before you added more in your edit.

Read the entire conversation. The mentality of not caring and this not being an addition people care about themed design placement one way or the other is the mentality I was referring to.

In themed entertainment it is known as declining by degrees.

 

[James Alucobond]

What does reading the entire conversation have to do with it? You responded to it in general agreement without qualification or pruning of the quote in question, so it looked like you were agreeing with the whole statement. What was said in later posts is immaterial. Again, I said it's very possible it wasn't meant that way, but it's easy to see how it could be read that way.

I am quoting you right now, and I don't agree with all of what you are stating

A quote does not mean complete agreeance. It means you are following up a conversation.

And no matter what let me be clear, I am not the one who had to have a post moderated from a crude phrase. That is why I stated the person may want to step back as they resorted to what this site would consider euphemism-based vulgarity.

 

[James Alucobond]

I generally prune things down to clarify what I'm responding to, particularly when two-thirds of the quoted content is an unfounded suggestion that people are being promoted based on flirtation rather than merit. But I'm sure at this point that I'm essentially throwing words into the void, so I'll leave it at that.

Your post was edited by a moderator as well, if you haven't noticed. And it's not the first time.

This entire argument has absolutely run its course. Let's all talk about The Hatbox Ghost, why don't we.

Another example of great idea, did not quite stick the landing of updating WDW attractions.

Sure thing, it’s dumb fan service which, in addition to overpricing, is just about the only thing Disney does anymore.

 

[celluloid]

I can say the staging does not give me much hope in the culture of Imagineering and care for Tiana's retrofitting qualities.

 

[Rich Brownn]

That's an oversimplification.

It's literally what happened, according to every account I have ever read. The scary vrs not scary concepts and the compromise was to do each half way.

Not trying to be rude, but, tell me you haven't worked at Walt Disney World without telling me.
