Motion neon! Looks fun.

I wonder if the leaked recordings over the weekend open up the possibility of Johnny Depp doing another Pirates movie.

Sorry. Didn't hear the leaks. Got a link?

I believe this is the source article for the info, but it’s all over the place now.

And after all of this we still have no confirmation of what happened to poor Buzzy.

I am/was hoping it would offer a boat and omnimover ride under the same castle/area. Still, this is exciting and can't wait to experience it.

I find it really crappy how few major news sources reported on this. They slandered his name from here to Timbuktu when the allegations were first made, but that video is pretty irrefutable, and you could hear crickets chirping out there. It trended for 2 days on twitter this weekend though.

Thanks for the follow-up, @rteetz . I was hoping that it wasn't true. But, it goes to show that not everything is as it seems.

The smoker is rather small, must be a few others in the prep kitchen I hope.

It is really awful what happened to him. Luckily, a guy like Johnny Depp has the resources not to be completely ruined by what happened to him.

I saw on another site that it is supposed to open February 9th.

yeah, the fact they keep referring to it as the "feature" smoker makes me think it is almost more for show and the bulk of the cooking will happen backstage

I love the smell of a good bar-b-que in the morning!
