Is Jackie Chan good at narrating?

Samuel L. Jackson.

"Thank the f***** phoenecians!"

“Like a f***** spaceship, our planet has sailed through the mother f****** universe of time”

Thank you for this, I could not stop laughing!

Seriously, on narration, you're all a bunch of squares. The hip new narrator in demand is Idris Elba. Our very own Heimdall and Fluke and Shere Khan and Chief Bogo.

Yes yes yes yes yes. I could listen to him speak for days. I also nominate Tom Hiddleston.

Why do I get the feeling that Disney themselves don’t have a narrator set in stone and is probably going to refer to this thread for ideas?

 

[tparris]

We still don't have clean audio for the current gen computer room and descent music...

Please. The employees who go on theme park forums read them so they can laugh at some of the wild predictions - especially patent-wise. This isn't speculation either, this is what I've been told directly.

Idris Elba FTW!

Previous scripts:

"They create an alphabet. Simple enough for any to learn"​

​

"They create a simple common alphabet adaptable to most languages. Remember how easy it was to learn your ABC's? Thank the Phoenicians, they invented them. "​

Proposed new script:

Remember learning your ABCs? How it was drilled into you for years from the moment you first started to speak words and reinforced with playthings, murals, and puppet videos? And how you had to learn the sounds each letter made even though many made more than one sound? And then how the sounds they made no longer mattered since you had to recognize chunks of letters that formed words that you no longer had to sound out? And how you learned over several years to master writing them in both lower case and a differing uppercase version and yet, in printed type, some of those letters, like the 'a' and 'g' looked significantly different? And how you then had to learn a cursive version which also had different orthographies for lower and upper case? And then had to learn how to type those letters on a keyboard with all your fingers and then again with a different set of manual skills in typing them on a personal electronic device? Well, you can thank the Phoenicians for that.​

"They create a simple common alphabet adaptable to most languages. Remember how easy it was to learn your ABC's? SPEAKING OF ABC, THIS FALL MAKE SURE TO TUNE INTO ABC FOR OUR NEW LINEUP. THE CONNORS ARE BACK, WHAT WACKINESS ARE THEY UP TO NOW. Oh and thank the Phoenicians, they invented them. "

A certain R. Niles of a certain Insider blog was just discussing the potential truthiness of this 2 year hiatus rumor when he dropped this gem pretty much as a fact:

"Disney has ordered the installation of LED panels on the south face of Spaceship Earth, which will become part of the new World Showcase lagoon show"

Any thoughts?

Wouldn’t about a quarter of the guests have their backs to SSE and half of the remaining would have obstructed views?

But what if there's something on the lagoon that makes them turn around and look at SSE?

It sounds interesting, but I'm not sure what to expect with this. I suppose if it still looks like a normal, silver golf ball during the day then I can't complain.

More than half the guests around the lagoon would still not have a decent view of SSE.

Oh I understand. It seems like a weird idea. The only way I could see it working is if there's a dedicated FW show with everyone in the CC area or as a post show thing.

You mean the APers who show up nightly and demand that everyone sit down in the FP+ section will have to stand up and turn around!?!? Nooo... Disney couldn't be that cruel!!

 

[MisterPenguin]

It would be nice for a new fountain show... for half the people facing the fountain.

Agreed. Something separate from WS might possibly be planned.

New to me.

Projections are cheaper. Disney loves the projections.

Besides, why use SSE when the GOTG building is like an imax screen just next door??
