Actually, with all the costumes I've worn as a cast member, and there were many, the new costumes for mission space are absolutely the coolest thibngs ive ever seen. I wish I could wear one, but Im stuck at test track.
Anywhey, I did testing first for mission space post show, and the "time racers game is awsome. It is going to have as long of a wait time as the ride itself.
For eart wind and fire I did prelim testing in which about a hundred of us at a time were lined up and went from room to rom just sitting and more sitting in different configurations. It was done to get stats to design to seating situations. Thats about all I can say as I am still a cast member and am only allowed to say very little. But I will say it will be very cool.
For those who complain about the changes. Well folkes, I have to say I agree and disagrree. I also love the classic Disney that drove us all to love all of it. I find it a crying shame that my kids may never experience some of the stuff that I ches=rish so much. However we all talk about the decline of attendence and blah blah blah. Trust me this hits nowhere and noone closer than us cast members whose lives revolve around these rides. We love them as do you but the just arent drawing. At the time when they were built, they were state of the art and a complete draw to everyone because of this. Everyone talks about what would Walt do. Well lets think about this for a min. Walt was an invisioned man who designed for the future for families. Epcot was his dream of the future. He new that to succede you must embrace the future or dye with the past. Epcot WAS educational and was designed to be. But if you do not update the education, then It becomes a history lesson instead. Let us not forget that the T stands for Tomorrow. There is no Y for yesterday. Also we realise that if the thrill is not there for new generations then atendence will continbe to drop. In 1972 when Magic Kingdon opened, Pirates was an E-Ticket ride. Thrilling adventurous and state of the art. Today, although a classic and we love it, who here would consider it a thrill ride. My favorite, carrosell of progress, we all know the story about it and it saddens me, (open for the summer, yeaaaa) is the words of Walt embrasing the future and the changes contained therein.
Please remember as you read this folfs that I say it with the most love admiration and respect that are possible. I know we are all here out of shear love and I dont believe that, except for my daughter, Nothing could be closer to my heart or truer to my dreams than Disney. For "Us" it is a passion that burns in a manner that will never be put out, no matter what they change.
