Spirited News, Observations & Thoughts IV

Well, it was listed at one of the Food & Wine booths. Is that perhaps an opening shot?

I must have missed that announcement! Woot!

This is the standard response given by Disney when challenged on more advanced attractions at other parks. It is the almost verbatim response given by the guide on a Keys to the Kingdom tour I took last year. Something's fishy here.

No, he openly said that he was an IT professional for a Fortune 500 company.

Let that guide your context for your interactions. (IE, one of "Those" people who acts like theyre better than everyone, knows everything, worthy of being blocked, etc)

Or hasn't ever eaten at Mythos.

As a park patron with food allergies, Disney's options are far greater than Universal. Disney is still the best resort that I've seen for guests with food intolerances.

Opinions are allowed. Being disruptive to the community is not. There's been a lot of people attacking each other of late (I've toned it down and just block people now) and the moderators are sick of it.

Exactly.

Steve gave everyone an explanation.

Nemo14 stated what should be done if you do not agree with a moderating decision, and it doesn't include making posts complaining about moderating.

I can almost guarantee that someone being disruptive under any circumstances (be it here or in real life) does not consider their actions to be disruptive, or they don't care, or they are doing so deliberately to provoke a reaction. Whatever the reason, the post will be deleted. Can't do much about real life.

And I think enough has been stated on the off topic of moderating.

Actually talking of Soarin Next Gen I wonder if Tokyo version will use original Soarin system or Next Gen Soarin system.

I honestly dont see the Soarin next gen system actually coming to fruition.

New video of Springfield U.S.A. posted by Attractions Magazine. Kang & Kodos Twirl 'n' Hurl is not open yet, so the walls are still up around the attraction and the surrounding area. It also looks like some last minute touches have not yet been put into place, such as the Welcome to Springfield sign and the lines on the street.

Like I said, I had my doubts about how this would look, but now that the construction walls are down... I LOVE IT!!!

 

[Nemo14]

He's asleep.

In the future, might I suggest respectfully taking your moderation issues to a PM with the mods rather than discussing it publically? Thanks.

Ok, who are you and what did you do with PhotoDave?

 

[devoy1701]

Look, you have no idea how leniant the moderators are here. If your post got clipped, snipped, sniped or spiked, its because you likely went too far or was hostile about it. Its that simple.

Righteo. For anyone who has been members of other forums, this is by far the most lenient in terms of moderating (that has/had a large member base anyway).

It's a wonder some of us have lasted so long here with all this censorship!

Looks great so far! Can't wait to get down there in 2 weeks.
But do you know when Twirl n Hurl will open? I can't find anything about a timeframe for it to open.

The irony of this is those arent really "Craft Beers", theyre all very Mainstream. I cant find most of those in the supermarket.

Other interesting tidbit, you have to pay to get your beer/food product into Food and Wine. Plus Disney then buys it wholesale from you at like 40%. Found that out from a beer guy as well as someone trying to get their foodie noms into the show.

I've seen posts on Orlando United that have hinted by at least Friday of next week, to as soon as Tuesday.

Looks great. I, however, don't understand why Nelson is on the Kwik-e-mart sign.

 

[mkt]

Yes. Fat Tire is immensely important.

Most overrated craft beer EVER.

New Belgium has so many better beers.
