I kinda feel bad for the 19 who voted last summer that this wasn't happening. Forever humiliated.

I wonder when the last "No" actually voted.

They must wear the cone of shame!

If Disney has any kind of announcement coming, I bet it'll be for specifics and dates on when parts of the expansion will be opening.

I've learned to never put faith into Disney announcements lately, when they schedule something its mediocre, when its out of the blue, its something interesting.

Either way, UO has sooo many things they could annouce to slap them right back and take the headlines away anyways.

I have been saying watch out for a major Universal announcement once Phase 1 of FLE opens.

Come visit Beauty and the Beast and Ariel in Disney's newest Fantasyland area Now Open....

One hour later...COMING SOON!!!

I've forced myself to realize Disney doesn't care because it's too painful to keep thinking they do. So I bet we see jack squat, or the equivalent which would be some Iger rambling on how they're "excited" about Avatar. :mean:

 

[ReelJustice]

Hogwarts Express permits are ready for PCL to pick up.

 

[Teebin]

Thanks Reel! I sure hope the conveyance method reveals itself soon.

Remember the day before Star Tours 2 opened Uni announced the Spider-Man upgrade and Despicable Me.

 

[Teebin]

A lot of people have suggested that one of these big moves by Universal might kill WDW and others have countered with the fact that that will never happen. I agree. What it does do on the other hand is dispirit a large portion of the WDW workforce. When a large segment of a companies workforce becomes dispirited, a domino effect often ensues, productivity falls, and the friendly smiles become a little more forced.

This can also be found in fan websites... when above happens, the fans who are already slightly dispirited become angry and grossly dispirited. Domino, domino, domino...

I think we've already seen this in a large degree.

 

[Spideyfreak]

^Yes, just go over to WDWMagic.

We do know that there are columns involved.

We do? I have never seen you post this info on OU before. What permit document states this?

Sorry, sometimes I lose track of where I post things.

From Project 4691 "Connector"

^ Aaaaaaah. I agree, that is telling and thank goodness it sync's with the only solutions I could come up with. Now, will there be a giant tube like structure between here and there, even if for part of the way? That is the other 'only solution' that I could come up with.

 

[JungleSkip]

The way Whylightbulb as talking before he went into hiding hinted that the windows themselves would relay the story and effects.

And there is also stuff like this:

"Due to so many locations, the cost estimate needs to be broken down by location with a grand total"

"Include earthwork, painting, stripping and bollards"

And fun fact: they had this and Hogsmeade Station mixed up for a while and they would write comments like this on both not realizing they had the permits mixed up:

"NOT MET. Cost estimate for bld2012-03436 (Hogsmeade) provided instead"

"NOT MET. Cost estimate for bld2012-03437 (Connector) provided instead"

Or was given a stern talking to...

What I read from his text, (and a friend simplified the idea) was that they were attempting a kind of multi-plane (Bambi) camera effect. Possibly executed with a multilevel peppers ghost in front of a more distant projection. Think of Nemo; the tank as a projection beyond instead of something real.

That's basically what I meant.

Sounds expensive.:stunned:

Well... yeah!
