Was I? Really? Hmmmm, let me think back. That is a giant NO. Did you get your information from Wikipedia or Laughing Place? You know, those two sites that you get all your so-called insider information from? :rolleyes:

In fact, let me see, um, yea, I joined WDWMagic when my cousin, who is a member here (DXer07002) referred me to this site, back in February 2006. So try again there Thrawn, er, Enigma, er, Lewis Carrol. I mean Conundrum, or whoever your split personalities want to be today.

Yea Con, I referred my cousin to this site 3 years ago... he is not a formerly banned member... So, try again there buddy...

As an engineer - these projects are planned YEARS in advance so the SM refurb was planned during the last days of the E(isner)vil Empire. It's probably been plussed to a good extent but the engineering is DONE. And since it was done under Pressler who belived the only moving part in WDW should be a cash register drawer.

What I think will happen is SM will probably get some upgrades which improve the show greatly It may use the same track layout but run the trains much faster. This would explain why adding weight to the cars was such a big deal as MOMENTUM = MASS times VELOCITY squared.

So even a slight increase in the weight of the cars significantly increases the loading on the track and bogies. The rumored sound projection system would make the ride much more reliable.

I think it will be good because the last park visit a bulb burned out and a few minutes later a maintenance CM came and replaced it. That kind of attention to detail was last seen in the 70's so I expect that this will continue.

I think you'll find that p=mv (Momentum=Mass x Velocity), No squaring involoved.

Kinetic energy is 0.5mv^2 is that what you were trying for.

I was chatting with some of the guys over on Miceage and Ghostbuster who used to post here told me you and him came up with this thing to cause trouble here by making a screen name called "ghostbustersreturn" or something that you used for awhile before getting banned.

Trust me you dont want to keep going cuz it aint gonna lead anywhere good and im not looking to fight.
 

The Conundrum

Okay, I have a huge problem with this post. A HUGE problem. I'm not speaking for Conundrum, because honestly he confuses me with his motives. But people like '74 and me are far from haters that do not enjoy WDW. Far from it. We love WDW.

We just want people to realize that it can be better. It can be so much more, and they can give you so much more than what you have been getting. We don't want people to not enjoy WDW. I go back to the World 3-4 times a year to work and play. I've seen a small bit of improvement on my last visit, but there still needs to be more progress.

And Disney does plenty right. Again, the HM refurb was spectacular. TSM is a ton of fun. AIE, as much as I hate its existence, is an entertaining show. Disneyland has gotten some terrific updates recently. DLP continues to get more, and more beautiful. Hong Kong is a great little park that, once the dispute with the local government is resolved, will get even better. It's the blatant neglect of WDW that has me riled up. It's supposed to be the number 1 vacation destination in the world, and it should be treated as such.

I'd like to set the record straight since you seem to be a reasonable person. I do not hate WDW. I do hate the current management team at Parks & Resorts (Mainly Jay Rasolu) and his team of cronies at TDO as well as select Imagineers who are out of touch with what guests want.

I feel the quality has gone down at the parks because of them and they have shown no interest in the parks or care what guests think. My motive is to encourage everyone to essentially vote against these people by not going to the parks, not spending money on the products, and letter write there frustrations to the company. This is the only way to bring real change to WDW.

Now does that mean everything WDW has done in the past ten years was bad? No, I PRAISED Jim Macphee, I :sohappy: when '74 and REimagineering reported the wand was coming down and bounced off the walls in my room when I saw the photos of its demolotion. I was pleased with the replacement of food rocks (a lame attraction trying to be hip) with Soarin a solid serious attraction. I was also very happy with Haunted Mansion and am pleased to hear it will be recieving some addition tweaking in the future.

However, the problems at WDW are great and for every good thing a small group of imagineers/employees/executives do the overall management will make ten more mistakes in the process while also making cuts on park hours, maintenance, etc. I would love to see Disney go back to the standards they employeed from the origin of the company up until the mid 90s (like Tokyo level), heck, I would even be satisifed if they can get up to Disneyland in Anahiems level of constant refurbs and care. That's all. Im not out to complain or bring down WDW.

Best of all, if WDW gets hit with an attendance slump guess what? They will start actively building RIDES RIDES RIDES. Why do you think DCA is getting so much love? It sure as heck ain't because Disney wants to do something cool for the guests. The hope is the new attractions and themeing will impress guests and get them to visit and spend. Its all about economics. You want Disney to build Beastly Kingdom get ppl to stop coming to the parks wholesale (The economic disaster is certainly beneficial to our plight). Once things settle down and attendance is still not up Disney will have no choice but to act.

Again, you are wrong on many levels so I advise you to stop... Seriously... You keep making yourself look more and more foolish by the day.... Gothmickey never was a banned member... trust me on that one.. Enigma, Lewis Carroll, or who ever you were in a past life...

Ahhh there we go.. First member of WDWMagic I actually placed on ignore... Works wonders too..

Anyway, I'll miss Space Mountain in October... Maybe by luck they will be having test runs for Annual Passholders or DVC members before I leave... If so, I'll make sure to get on... if not, then oh well... there is always next year... of course, by then, all the reports will be in so I'll know what to expect...
