I guess they'll call that one "The Iger Sanction."

Don't you see the V.I.P on the side? Those are for executives because some of them are so..... Never mind....

Wait are you saying they the VIP's walk into those modules complete and by the time they finish their business all that comes out is a pair of shoes (and possibly a hat)?

Funny that they'd just leave one of the cabins sitting out on the grass like that...

There was that one cabin that was pictured when they were testing station clearances, and then it was gone, except for the hanger that was still on the track. Now we know what happened to the cabin. It's not as nice, roomy or breezy as I had hoped they would be.

Here’s a street level view of the Caribbean Station progress as of today Sunday 10-21.

Still going pretty fast.. how long has its been?

I hope someday there is a Discovery Channel engineering documentary on this from the beginning of the project to the public opening. IMO, that would be fascinating.

I know a guy that's pretty good with those magic boxes that take something called a moving picture. @marni1971

In the past, those types of shows were great. Today's Disney would just turn it into a 60-minute commercial...

That is true, especially if it airs on the Destination Channel or Travel Channel (they are different channels, right?). They may be owned by Discovery, but you can tell they're not going to be anything but glowing toward Disney on those channels. However, if it can be aired as one of those engineering-focused shows on the Science Channel (also Discovery-owned I think), those shows tend to focus almost solely on the engineering. They've done shows on cruise ships that weren't completely sycophantic about the cruise company and tunnels, etc. in popular tourism areas that focused on getting the projects done (although they often overly dramatize some pretty mundane stuff). I hope it could be one of those shows and not a travelogue.

I'm thinking more like.

Well with the Fox purchase they will own NatGeo so a bit of cross promotion.

Funny thing is the older shows WERE a commercial, just maybe not intentionally or overtly, but they made audiences Marvel (accidental pun) at the parks themselves and want to go see it themselves

Yes they did but now what do they have to show off?

Instead of BAH we could talk about the BABox at EPCOT! Come see the future of boxes!

I was just listening to the ResortLoop.com Podcast and they did an episode on the SkyLiners. They had Robbie Von Roll who provided a great amount of detail on how these work. Not only was it fascinating, i'm actually much more bullish on them than I was before.

Art, darling

There may also be a new thing to look at at the IG today if anyone has a camera.

I'd argue there's more art to it than this piece. Actually, now I'm not so sure, the attention to detail it took to successfully launder so much money ought to be recognized.

Neat. I'll be swinging by around 2ish today so I can get some pictures unless someone beats me there.
