From Drudge Report (http://www.drudgereport.com/matteb.htm):

Top intrigue intensifying over whether DISNEY is secretly trying to hire Bob Pittman away from AOLTIMEWARNER -- to be Michael Eisner's successor! Pittman, who has theme park experience [having run TIMEWARNERS's SIX FLAGS, before getting the ax from Gerry Levin], has become the center of a behind-the-scenes media scramble.

Oh gosh! I don't know... I find that the 6 Flags Parks lack the magic to make it as a Disney park-- and I certainly don't want to see the Disney parks trying to emulate the 6 Flags parks... the employees there don't care, and if anyone thinks that the attitudes of the CM's at WDW has gone downhill (personally I don't), but I don't want to see what Disney stands for jeopardized just so they can get some thrill rides. That is scary. I would rather stay with what we know than jump out of the frying pan, and into the fire! JMHO!
