The Spirited Back Nine ...

I have no idea what Zaxby's you could possibly be going to where you spend $15 on 3 people. It's almost (if not) $10 for a meal at the one I go to.

Man that sucks. We have one here in our small rural Georgia town and the prices are pretty good. A meal deal with a drink is usually around $5-6. My son's kiddie finger meal is only around $3. Sometimes I'm glad I live in a small town.

Which is a shame. At least the part about Scott Swenson. He was an incredible Creative Director and Sea World was lucky to have him. Hopefully Disney or Universal will pick him up and not let his talents go to waste.

Yes, I'm sure his epitaph will be "Antartica"

Don't bet on it, Ever seen a Norwegian Forest Cat

We are talking small mountain lion here...

What does your cat think of Frozen taking over the Norway pavilion?

His strength was not in attraction design as much as it was in entertainment. He always managed to pull together high quality events, even on shoe-string budgets at BGT.

Was he over both?

 

[Next Big Thing]

I'm not sure if he had anything to do with Antarctica or not. I worked with him for a period of time, but i'd think it odd that he work on Antarctica seeing as he worked as Creative Director for BGT.

I think he may have been in the room for some attraction discussions at BGT, but he knew his place was entertainment.

 

[Next Big Thing]

Where is the proof that a BGT guy worked on a Sea World project? You're the journalist, surely you know better than I?

I've got one of those also. She is small at only 110 lbs. The St Bernard comes in at 165 lbs and fashions himself a lap dog.

Same here, he's quite intent on crushing me to death.

Ultimately, a lot of people only want the Original Trilogy over and over again. It is known and the prequels for many were a burn.


Images released by the director are not spoilers.

That wasn't the post in question but thanks for replying.

Jim hill just got into a long Twitter fight with someone who claims he is lying completely about toontown being replaced with Star Wars. It was quite comical

That's not just "someone"...that's our own special snowflake! Kippel himself!

Mildly entertaining, but freightening as well. That guy is completely nuts. (The janitor, not Jim Hill)

Anyway, in checking out some of the tweets I came across this quote from Jim Hill from a pod cast:

He also reported that a friend had the opportunity to walk through the Walt Disney Imagineering model shop where they saw a model of a large Death Star and an Ewok Village. There was no indication whether or not this was a final version of the anticipated land.

Is this a new rumor or had that been circulating already? I kinda thought the assumption was that SW Land would be Tatooine, but this sounds like maybe the forest moon of Endor for the DL version at least. He also mentioned verticle construction at DL in 2015 on SW.

Was it philip?!

Yep

Guy is frightening.

Spot on!
I'm not even kidding.. He is exactly the kind of person that cannot be reasoned with. Lord only knows how he would react if he was "disappointed" in the parks when things don't go his way. He's obviously a disturbed individual though.

The story Jim Hill told about Frank Wells and Clint Eastwood on one of the recent podcasts sounded so bogus it's hard for me to believe anything the guy says.
