Early 1990's they proposed a bullet train simulator that would take guest through the Japanese country side.

Considering that the idea never came to fruition, and that the HE is based on an important piece of the books/films, I wouldn't call it a rip-off.

Never stated it was. I was just answering a question to how someone can assume its a rip-off. While I will stated there are a lot of similarity between the concept and the Hogwarts Express, I will not say something is a rip-off because in actuality everything is a rip-off of something else.

Sorry... I should have quoted the post that had the rip-off remark to start with. I wasn't disagreeing with you, but rather just reacting to the clarification you provided because I also had no idea what rip-off we were talking about lol.
Thanks for clearing that up for us btw

No problem! If you ever get a chance check out the old Epcot concepts, they considered Godzilla once.Sorry... I should have quoted the post that had the rip-off remark to start with.

Harry Potter is just a rip-off of Neil Gaiman's Tim Hunter and The Books of Magic.

The Bullet Train ride was not transportation nor the first attraction to simulate movement. Moving travelogues are one of the oldest attraction concepts dating back well over a century.

Agreed.

A few possible reason. It might start a new pay schedule which would be easier in their systems to move the employees to other sections/divisions.
Maybe to allow more time for the track/trains to settle before working on it.
I am gonna say option 1.
Okay I could understand that but it's dumb. Sunday should be a busy day and the day I'm leaving.

I believe Sunday is the least crowded day. Seem to remember it being in Birnbaums books for years, of course that could be incorrect now.
My work starts in new jobs or transfers at the beginning of the pay period. Mainly because they cannot mix assignment codes. Same thing is possible for Disney.

I'm talking about a direct copy. Concepts are concepts. But to directly take what another park down the street built and build it too is tacky.
