Yes, but that is typical really. I got the chance to work on a steam restoration once and it took years, finding the right people and waiting for their schedule to free up, money changes, grants lose, more rust then expected. Anything and everything on these projects go wrong.
So I wrote up in Imagineering forum that Disney could convert the WDWRR into a Hogwarts Express type experience. Coincidence?
Seriously though, there would be many many benefits. Including making expansion easier for the MK without being limited by what guests might see from the RR.
It would increase the immersive quality of not just the attraction but the MK as whole.
It would save tons of money as the trees and theming used to hide backstage areas would not have to be maintained any longer to the same level.
Because Disney has its own animation department the passenger cars would not have to be divided but rather the animation could be presented as an entire panorama of the horizon instead of the chopped up way it is on Hogwarts which has the same visual playing on each individual screen.
And it could be done far less expensively because much of the infrastructure is already in place.
Plus it would be air conditioned.
, and here are the facts as his Manager told him. The dates above are correct for the closing. Last year was primarily for the bridge fix and some track work. This year is for more extensive sections of track ballast and ties. In addition the block control system will be brought up to state of the art status matching a public railroad. He and the other cast on the RR will be redeployed to other positions and return after the down time.
Ugh..... please........ noSo I wrote up in Imagineering forum that Disney could convert the WDWRR into a Hogwarts Express type experience. Coincidence?

So you want them to rip off the Hogwarts express... instead of just going to Universal and riding it for yourself?
Oh Japan. So much potential.
