Tony Baxter hints at the future!

Tony's working on something I can describe as "huge". I don't know exactly what it is, but he does allow me this much: "It's the next breakthrough in ride technology. Star Tours was the first simulator, then we said 'What's next?' and did Indy, which is enhanced motion vehicles, and for a while we've been asking 'What's next?' -we found it. I'm knee deep into that one."

"If we're able to pull off what we've done on our tests, it is truly going to be a breakthrough in ride technology." WOW!!!

He said the challenge is figuring out how to "industrialize" the technology to meet guest demands, to have this vehicle - yes, it's a RIDE! - that gets loaded every 15 seconds.

Also, it's GREAT to see Fab back on the net! :wave:

Tony Baxter is truly a remarkable creative genius. I am so glad he's still working for the Mouse.

 

[DarkMeasures]

Well, this would have to be a pretty interesting ride system.

Maybe a trackess EMV?

 

[Robfasto]

Interesting would be loading every 15 seconds... That is along the lines of Space Mountain...

 

[CaptainMichael]

Well, this is the best news I've heard in quite some time!

 

[LSUxStitch]

for WDW or DL?

 

[wannabeBelle]

Go Tony!!!!!!! Walt would be proud of you!!! Belle

 

[General Grizz]

for WDW or DL?

I'm guessing it would likely be duplicated if it's intended for the US.

 

[imagineer boy]

Awesome! Tony Baxter is a geniouse!

 

[Thrawn]

Star Tours replacement?

 

[SirGoofy]

Sounds awsome!

 

[CaliSurfer182]

A new ride system YEAH! Not another clone movement. That sounds awesome, I wonder how long it will take to implement.

Lets hope the idea stays strong, and pans out for them.

GMR replacement? WoL replacement? New location altogether? Sounds interesting...could be something...but could be a whole lot of nothing too...

30 Theaters of SGE.............. :lookaroun :lol:

If it is anything, it's going to be a while before we see it in action. They still haven't figured out how to make the tech work in a theme park environment.

Don't even joke about that :lol:

 

[MrNonacho]

Don't even joke about that :lol:

But that will let them keep 29 of them open while they desperately try out fixes in the 30th...

Is Tony a genius? Or do we really have that few people with great ideas?

Tony is right up there. Nowhere near Marc Davis (#1 IMHO) but ahead of Eddie Sotto (# 3 in my book).

 

[jmuboy]

Tony is one of the best, Eddie Soto is good. Marc Davis was almost as good as Walt in my opinion. Steve Davidson needs to be put in charge of all entertainment and ride overlyas for WDI, he has a GREAT track record. When people like Steve D and Tony B are in charge, I generally am relaxed about the final product.
