It'll be around for a long time. You'll see it!

This still doesn't mean they have fixed the -poor water projection screens. They may want to focus on that aspect too, while they're at it.

They have improved considerably over the last two months.

Why do you think these things?

 

[RMichael21]

They were testing back before the show opened, and (imo and understanding) the reason they haven't been testing is because they would have to move the barges currently being used for Jungle Book. I would also assume they haven't been testing during the day is because they've probably been working on the tech in a warehouse somewhere because they knew it wasn't ready to go in the water to be tested.

Well, the Jungle book barges (the big ones at least, not the small ones right up against the seating) were being stowed between the Africa and Asia bridges I believe. So I guess they really wanted to test it today.

So there is more than likely a chance this will premiere in September? I know it's been asked before but I'm just curious.

I'm no insider, but I would say yes it's likely it will premier shortly or immediately after Jungle Book: AWM ends.

So much for "they can't test during the day" and "there's no budget for testing its all going to bonuses and Shanghai" yada yada yada

the budget things was BS.. the test during day just shows they are desperate to get it ready asap as in yesterday.

 

[Cesar R M]

There were allusions to this. Go back and read. I don't think the usual suspect knew one way or the other, but he's quite cynical about all matters financial and budgetary. He frequent connects a host of such things to Shanghai (lately) and exec bonuses (historically). He doesn't hide, there is no need for a witch hunt. He stirs the pot quite openly, tosses out many predictions or pseudo predictions and moves on. He's a bit aggravating but I do kind of like the guy.

And I admire his convictions. He's said, you may certainly correct me if I'm wrong, that he won't spend any money with Disney until they right what he considers wrongs of past and present decisions. I believe him, why not?
Most of the rest of us complain about various things, but we keep going. He doesn't.

That was actually an inside joke now.
Like how those people blame Obama on everything.
So we used that joke and transformed it into "Thanks Shangai!"

Yes. I never believed any of it.

Labor day is on Sept 5

Yes, I know. I might have only joined to post recently, but I've been 'around' here more than a wee bit longer.

Not necessarily, It appears there is budget NOW for the testing, But not back when the show was due to premiere. IF you have any experience with budgeting at a large US corporation you cannot DO anything unless funds are allocated ahead of time, The money does not flow from a cornucopia it's made available through a painstaking process.

You really have no idea, but that never stops you.

 

[ford91exploder]

No I don't KNOW in the context of posessing insider information, But when high profile stuff like this goes nowhere for months on end in corporate america it's usually because funds have not been allocated to the project or the funds are insufficient to the scope of work required.

 

[Cesar R M]

Hey it could be worse, Mean while down the street near Disney there's dancing sprinklers!

I thought that was a joke (the holy land park).. wow.. :/

We don't know that it went nowhere for months, we have no idea what things had to be done behind the scenes before testing could resume. You don't just test and test and test until it works. You test, then go back and fix things, and then test again.

Just stop right there. The rest is all your fantasy.
