Here’s the thing: that’s your job. Why should fans care? That’s not relevant at all to how they should perceive the final product.
When you buy a car, you expect it to work and work consistently. While it’s nice to know about the small details associated with the project, you - at the end of...
Ding ding ding - and that's my point. I hope Universal's new show is good, but I'm also not going to give them a pass if it's not. Their output will be judged based on their competitors, and their competitors certainly aren't poor.
I think you and I will continue to disagree on the direction...
Disney has the luxury of a culture that usually recognizes the advantages of taking a holistic approach to show design that remains unmatched. If you compare the infrastructure of Universal’s Islands of Adventure and Disney California Adventure, they’re in different categories altogether.
I...
Again, my original argument:
I’m not talking about guests. All I’m saying is that an acknowledgement should be made. Disney is a more sophisticated company, and they do things that we take for granted. Some form of recognition should be made.
Sorry Sean, but I’m going to end it here. You keep...
Again, it’s easy to be dismissive.
Also, if you’re going to reframe my argument on social media, at least have the common courtesy to present it with context. Calling people like me “the worse” on another platform while simplifying my point is weak and inauthentic.
Good for you, but the level of equipment directly impacts the quality and reliability of a show. Just because you find it irrelevant doesn’t make it insignificant.
I go back to my original point. Just because you don’t understand the hard work that goes into show infrastructure doesn’t mean...
No, we don’t. Animal Kingdom was able to hide audio and lighting elements for Rivers of Light, and Tokyo DisneySea was able to build approximately 50 show pits around the lagoon. The same could also be said about Tom Sawyer Island at Disneyland and the constraints Disney needed to work around to...
No Joe, we don't agree. You're missing the point I made completely. There is no false equivalence here. The photos of hidden and exposed show equipment at Disney don't at all compare to the same instances that are evident at Universal for their nighttime shows. That's why I'm trying to point...
Top fixtures are Claypaky Mythos 2s, Supersharpys or the Hepikos (though I'd be surprised if they choose to employ wash fixtures from two manufacturers). Bottom fixtures are Robe BMFL WashBeams. This is only based on what I see, so the the configuration on other towers may be different.
I'm...
Usually, a month and a half is a good sign that your application was not accepted. Beyond that, it's essentially a wait-and-see game. Some employers don't send a rejection letter until several months after all the positions have been filled, so I wouldn't count on receiving one.
My...

^ I believe you should be fine. I suggest calling 1-800-UNIVERSAL directly to see if they can make an exception for you to postpone your first visit date, but these dates usually signify the earliest you can come based on the experience of some members on this forum.

Disney recently introduced a spectacular new preshow for World of Color to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
Insulting the community isn't going to get you anywhere, and considering you've gotten key facts wrong before, why should we trust you here?
Here's a thought: maybe you don't know everything, and perhaps some humble pie might be worth incorporating into your diet.
