Insider info/ AMA on WDW's 50th Ann.

I agree with the bullying, do I really care if he is legit. We all know that there are many trolls on this board. It was fun while it lasted and would love to see him come back and mix it up some more!

And "our" experts have been wrong as well.

There’s a difference between bullying and calling someone out.

This makes sense. Can I get some more concurrence on this? Do you have any background or insight into how the poor stress distribution was discovered? It can't have been something catastrophic like missing bolts or cracks in the tower or EE would have already been shut down. Additionally, I'm trying to find some sort of rough sketch or diagram on how the tower really is laid out with the distribution of the 3 layers; Mountain, Coaster, and Yeti. As it had been explained before each of these three layers were separated. But the idea of the Yeti sitting on something that shares a foundation with the coaster isn't a ridiculous proposition.

EDIT: I'm especially trying to figure out how the Yeti has been taken out in the third shift. Is there a door within the attraction built specifically to transport the Yeti in and out? I've been trying to find any record of such a thing but to no success.

This is the most plausible explanation I have read:

Expedition Everest effects status watch

I know he's been covered before, but I thought that Everest would remain as is until Pandora opens. It is possible they might be doing On The Fly changes to Everest so it looks good to hold the crowds when Pandora opens? :look around: False Internet Supposition based on the false premise the...

The topic of this thread is ask anything, right? I think I'm staying on track

OK, but you have to put it in the form of a question to someone with no real knowledge of the situation.

 

[TiggerDad]

It turned out the OP meant Ask Me Some things, but only on a Tuesday when there is a full moon, and your question has to be asked in High Valerian, and not about anything that can be easily verified.

This thread is getting to be like the general political chat thread.

 

[Epcot_Imagineer]

Everyone please pay your respects to this thread. Me thinks an end is coming to it.

 

[Timothy_Q]

Here, watch this, here's a question he'll never answer:

You say you were someone that killed the theater planned for Main Street (although it will still be built in the future). Someone of your vast insider knowledge must know what was planned for the lowest floor of the building. I do. What was it?

I'm under an NDA on this whole entire project. It's been shelved. Thank @realBobChapek

Everything you're saying would be under NDA, but only this specific question by @WDW Pro you're not allowed to answer?

lol sure

So does this mean MSEP is not planned to return to WDW and the 50th may not be a total train wreck? Hahahaha.

So does this mean MSEP is not planned to return to WDW and the 50th may not be a total train wreck? Hahahaha.

First part is questionable, the second part...WDW's 50th being a total train wreck...confirmed, unfortunately.

ETA: Knock on wood there's no literal train wreck on my beloved WDWRR.

This is where im going to end this thread because you all are too much. Don't trust me? Fine. Now you don't have me. I'll go back to peacefully lurking and reading.

Thank you.

Wow this here was the wildest ride in the wilderness. The drama and excitement of this threat was a hoot. I'm not sure anything of value was learned but boy was it an exciting lunch break reading period.

 

[Mainahman]

TO be brutally honest, if i dont hear it from @marni1971 or one of our other proven insiders im not believing it.

 

[realBobChapek]

Brand new to the forum but couldn't pass the chance to ask @realBobChapek a question since he threw his hat into the AMA ring:

-Given this example of your excellent musical tastes, can we expect more music like this to be incorporated into the parks? Perhaps into the SSE refurb?

-As a consumer who loves to spend spend spend, what's the next beloved WDW attraction or institution can we expect to see updated to get me excited about buying more consumer products that can now be marked at the attraction? I loved the addition of Frozen to Norway, it really told me Disney cared about my experience as a money spending consumer (and making it easy to do so), not just a boring nod towards the "history" or "culture" of somewhere else in the world that isn't America like the ride used to be.

1. Spaceship Earth will be receiving an all new soundtrack. I actually have a preview of what it will sound like, and I'm not bound by an NDA, so here you go.



2. We have plans to bring Frozen 2 to World Showcase. I don't think this has been discussed yet, but Gran Fiesta Tour is being replaced with Frozen Ever After 2: Mexican Vacation for the 50th.

Bob you're off your rocker again.

I thought it was steel framing with massive concrete pylons and concrete base? If it's only steel, it's a much easier disassemble.

Bob you're off your rocker again.

Didn't you say you were quitting this thread?

I'm not leaving here as long as you're here. Truth is, I love you, Bob. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you...

I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that I, too chose this user name specifically to throw everyone off of my scent.
