Monorail/Transportation Idea

[Connor002]

In fact, Michael Eisner was the brain behind it... he forked the money out of their pockets...

Ahh.. I'm not following. What do you mean?

Ahh.. I'm not following. What do you mean?

Never mind..

Monorails... no extensions... not because of management but out of common sense...

So let's get this (IMO the 50th) thread on this subject closed... agreed???:sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:

I agree. Unless you want to explain what you mean about the OLC/Eisner thing. I'm very curious as to what you were refering to. You could PM me.

It's not hard! Eisner came up with the idea to build the parks, found the right investor group, and "sold" them on the idea.

TDL was being built before Eisner took the reins, the park was in design and development in the early 80s. The first park that Eisner was behind was DLP and look at what happened there in its first few years. Look at it now. Look at each park, outside of TDS, that Eisner has financed. Then say he "sold" OLC on the idea.

So, who's right? I've never known Corrus to be wrong. But this new guy sounds like he has a good point. I really don't know.

*sits and waits for explaniation*

 

[nsxdrift_89]

TDL opened on April 15, 1983. Nearly a year, before Eisner came in.

Also, look at how TDL opened their own resort line, type monorail. I don't hear many people saying that was an outrageous cost.

 

[Connor002]

You proven your case, I just want to see what Corrus has to say.

So your going to believe a new guy because it "sounds like" he has a point over someone who has been a long time source of great information. The fact of the matter is his point is, well pointless. Corrus was referring to Tokyo DisneySea and the hotels at TDL, not the TDL park itself. TDS and the hotels were built while Eisner was in charge.

DLP is an incredible park. If you have been there you would know that it is second only to TDS. The park did not suffer from lack of funding, but rather too much too fast.

As for the comment about the resort line. It was an outrageous cost but it made sense. The same way that the Monorail made sense when WDW was built. But the FACT of the matter is, that for WDW monorails DO NOT make sense anymore. The buses too are costly to buy, maintain, operate, staff, and fuel, however as I have said time and time again they remain the most (and only) efficient way to transport guests at WDW.

Not to mention that judging by his user name he is most likely (although maybe not) only 16 years old. Personaly I think I would rather have the facts from someone who has inside information as he has worked for the company (regarding parks and resorts including those in Tokyo) over the opinions of a teenager.

You're correct... I was thinking of TDS.

Well when you have family who has worked for the parks both (DLR and WDW), then you learn things. So don't question my logic based on my username. You don't know anyhting about me.

You're right, we don't know anything about you. You haven't built up a reputation for having good solid information. We do know that Corrus has good information and many of us know his connection to Disney. Don't take everything as an attack, because it may have not been meant that way.

I know that you have an 89 nsx that you drift.

That doesn't change the fact that corrus knows what he's talking about. When he says something, its just about as official as you can get without TWDC saying it themselves.

TDL's line is public transportation, and links Disney and non-Disney properties

TDL's line costs money...about $2 per person per ride

Well, I think the busses at the Tokyo Disney Resort have that Disney magic.

I think that they are ugly to the max! I hope they keep that design in Japan.
Those buses look like retrograde Airstream Trailers. Ugly!

It doesn't matter that you had family that worked at the parks. Assuming they were CM at the parks then all you have is second hand information from people who are not told much more than guests. Corrus on the other hand worked for the comapny, and not just as a park CM. Corrus worked within a part of the company that would know first hand every detail about the design, budget, and financing of projects including those at TDL. I don't think I shoud have to say anymore.

No, actually that was susposed to be a nice way of saying I don't realy believe him, and I'd rather hear what Corrus has to say.

You shouldn't come to conclusiosn about people when you don't know anything about them. You have no idea if someone works in TDA, or in Imagineering, so don't type something until you can prove it.

You have no idea how long I have been going by the screen name. Also, these forums shouldn't be used for personal attacks. Age shouldn't be a factor here. I have paid for my pass to this site, and you have no grounds to attack me based on my age or any other factors.

My comment was directed at where you said. "So, who's right? I've never known Corrus to be wrong. But this new guy sounds like he has a good point. I really don't know."
