You aren't saying our claims are equally plausible. You've chosen to state that Eagle is the one with the accurate info and are acting as if it's "case closed", because he's making claims that agree with the narrative you've settled on yourself. Which is fine, you're well within your right to do so. I don't have any issues with people doubting the info i've posted (if I didn't trust the person who gave me my info already, I wouldn't have believed it either, and then it started being validated). Just be up front about where your opinions stand and why.
Keep in mind that I also hate that this retheme exists at all. Regardless of how good or bad it turns out, a bad taste is probably going to linger. Splash Mountain was my favorite ride at WDW (since Epcot was destroyed in the 90s), I detest that they've removed it along with the utter buffoonery behind the decision. If they mess TBA up and can't come up with a ride that is worthy of Splash, there's going to be hell to pay. I am the furthest thing from a Disney shill imaginable and can still hardly believe the claims made about TBA from my source. They're someone I know and trust who has like-minded opinions, skepticism and dislikes about this entire project. For them to have gone from being one of the retheme's absolute biggest hater (second only to WDW Pro) to claiming it's on track to being a "worthy replacement" for Splash, well it started to have my curiosity. And with a lot of the details having been proven accurate, it now has my attention. There's still plenty of opportunity to mess the ride up, the final product is what will be the real test.
I've explained my theory as to why Tony possibly isn't being trotted out to help market this ride. I won't repeat it again. It seems like a reasonable explanation if he's actually involved as claimed.
