And this is a good example of why I always diss Jim Hill. He's the original "Fantasy Land". I don't ever believe anything that comes out of his ...
I spoke with Jim. All is good.
It was the off-hand comment insinuating I may have paid someone money for leaked info that hurt my feelings. And I think they'll address it on the next episode, so all is back to good in the world.
I think this comment sums up the world's reactions to it:

A wise investment with your recent YouTube success. Pay for that inside information to make more YouTube gold
Going to throw an opening date out there for this:
28th May 2019. IOA's 20th birthday.
I remember when Maverick's layout and look was leaked. Screamscape posted it and showed all the details. The leak happened about three days before the press release (most of the coaster layout had already been guessed at) but I figured someone got in trouble. I can't remember if it had the animation but it had a detailed pic of the layout (kind of like Slink Dog Coaster's artwork on the wall at DHS).
4) project goes out to bid and all bets are offThe way I see it is that there’s 3 kind of leaks.
1) Universal or Disney happily give small tidbits of real information to certain individuals to keep the hype going. (Common)
2) Somebody spills the beans who really shouldn’t (Rare. As most people working these roles are working their dream job and spent most of their life to get there and they’re not going to jeopardise that for internet points.)
3) Information is shared before a press release and gets spilled early. (Common but is an easy way severe ties with the people supplying the information.)
And there's Whylightbulb popping in on Magic, and posting, then crying he's afraid he might get caught, then erasing all his posts, and then disappearing again until he feels compelled to talk _ _ _ _ on Universal & Woodbury for the upteenth time with the same sorry misinformation.4) project goes out to bid and all bets are off
If I remember correct, the ride path you "leaked" was from looking at the early photos of Bio and seeing lines in the dirt etc., not?Sometimes what looks like leaks aren’t leaks at all. A lot of folks around here guessed that there would be a drop track on this ride. It was not something I had ever heard personally, only on here. But then from construction we could clearly see that there was going to be a drop track.
Bio’s aerials have been far more instrumental in piecing this thing together than any drips or drabs from insiders. (We don’t deserve him.)
Yea, I never leaked anything. Just my interpretation of what we're seeing. I've updated my ride track layout several times already as we get new aerials too. (And I am amazed at how much more banking there is every time more track goes up!)If I remember correct, the ride path you "leaked" was from looking at the early photos of Bio and seeing lines in the dirt etc., not?

What gets me more than anything are people who parrot. One person says something and then all of a sudden 1-3 people “confirm” it. The argument will Be they were waiting for it to be public to protect their source, but to me it always seemed off.Sometimes what looks like leaks aren’t leaks at all.

On Universal, it was always the same old script. He just changed the dates and attraction. ...the best one was when he boasted and posted the picture of him with the sub contracting crew he was working on....and then hurridly pulled it off the web once he discovered what he had done....and as usual crying he might loose his job....He's a TOTAL Fake News...and has an agenda since Woodbury scared him offWhat gets me more than anything are people who parrot.

That, and people guessing and stating it as fact.
I get that I’m the skeptical person on this forum, and the term “insider” carries very little weight with me as often it’s someone who is simply just a person that is extremely knowledgeable and up to date with all the going ons of the theme park world.
Mansionbutler over at magic is like that for me. Really smart, educated guy and who knows a ton about theme parks- who is up to the minute up to date, but he tries to come off as an insider mentioning sources, etc- when it’s public info. I just don’t get it.
I just don’t get the draw to be labeled an “insider”. Isn’t being intelligent and knowledgeable about theme parks enough?
I always felt lightbulb was very accurate with his information. Almost like he’d only post when he actually had something concrete.

Wait, is that a real thing?Alright alright... Didn't mean to get us too far off topic. Take it to the Insiderz thread you guys.
lol, no. But you can make a thread out anything if you put a "z" at the end of it!Wait, is that a real thing?
John Murdy’s scarezone naming technique in one, concise forum post!lol, no. But you can make a thread out anything if you put a "z" at the end of it!
