Now guess, “witch” EPCOT pavilion was this witch meant for? It may take a spell.

I'm glad you filled that void. I was starting to doubt the internet.

Man, I really kick myself for not picking up those books at the Expo.
The entire 2 volume collection weighs over 10 POUNDS. Totally worth it.
Marc Davis in his own Words is a 2 volume collection?

It's a thing of beauty.

Great to hear! I pre ordered it on Amazon but wasn’t too thrilled with the cover art especially how it gets washed out with the white background on Amazon

Another interesting little nugget of info. from Marc Davis In His Own Words... Sadie Mae’s a dinner show concept for the Fort Wilderness Campground that would’ve brought the (clones of the) America Sings cast to the swamps... long before Splash Mountain.
There has been one piece of concept art floating around for this, that had been wrongly attributed to America Sings, that featured a member of the Bear Rugs from CBJ preforming with the Swamp Boys of America Sings.

I don't get why they decided to build another Star Wars simulator ride in a park that already had one...on both coasts.

You've been saying that for four years and still haven't figured it out.

The better question- why did Disney build a ride that intentionally makes an already existing ride irrelevant? Seems like poor theme park design in my opinion.
I find it hard to believe that within the entire Star Wars universe they couldn't come up with an experience that complements what came before, instead of outdoing and making what already exists irrelevant.

An X Wing coaster was the most obvious choice for a new Star Wars ride.
Which is why they didn't build it, because they wanted to be smarter than the fans.

I guess the idea was that they would replace Star Tours sooner than later.
But it doesn't look to be going away any time soon. Another example of a "temporary" Disney attraction.
