Pheneix, what do you think?

I was just wondering what you think about Expedition EVEREST. You always say that "corporate" will never approve a big budget e-ride. So are you surprised by this?

Maybe he is still hoping they will stop the construction, even though we have word they are building it already :lol: :lol: :lol:

You know, I am waiting to see *what* actually gets built. I know that Joe Rhode subjectively pointed out during the presentation that things were still in motion for this ride, and I also know that a $100 million ride will get built IF a sponsor is lined up for it. In a sponsor is not found then we will likely see GRR-caliber theming surrounding the ride rather than a full blown story.

>>>Maybe he is still hoping they will stop the construction<<<

No, I'm actually opening that Vekoma knows what they are doing this time, because the last time they offered to do an unique job for dirt cheap it yielded absolutely disasterous results (that would of course be Rhino Rally).

Indeed, Rhino Rally really had so much potential and it really is ashame that it ended up so terrible.
