Maybe its just me, but between the tone of the original post I and the purpose itself, I find this thread to be both redundant and unnecessary. Like the OP said, there are countless [active] threads already on this forum that have all of the information he is asking for.
Maybe I see things a little differently, but I don't really find the point of creating a new thread to summarize the others because he is tired of reading them in bulk.
I, along with others could likely write pages upon pages regarding this upcoming refurbishment, but personally, I wouldn't do it again considering how vocal I've been in the other threads. To go ahead and retype everything just seems to be a tad too much when the answers are clearly posted in multiples throughout the rest of the forum.
I figure that if he (or others) don't want to read all of the threads as a whole, then the search feature would come in handy--thats what it is there for.
But then again, I don't have a problem with Project Tracker style threads as they have on other forums, but the point is to keep all discussion, updates, news and rumors on one thread. Creating a new thread seems to be pointless considering this poster calls for facts when nothing is fact until it is completed by Disney and open to the public. Sure, we've posted rumors and news based on what we've heard, but again, nothing is definite until you see it fleshed out when the ride is open again.
I hope this doesn't come off as a flame or attack, but I've just gotten to a point where I wonder why someone would start a new thread because there are too many threads for the same topic. I'm happy to share what I know, like others, but as much as I love posting at WDWMagic, I can't bring myself to post the same information in quadruples just because one person grew tired of reading... :shrug:
