Yup... some company created by an imagineering fan who got his start making haunted houses for shopping malls. He boasted that we would see great things in Fantasmic the day before the dragon broke.

| Re: Disneyland Project Tracker You guys should hear Bob Gurr's side of the story of how the Matterhorn was built. They were drawing the design of it as they laid the tracks and beams down, hoping that both would fit within the constraints of the structure.

| Re: Disneyland Project Tracker Do you think he tried to make a crappy dragon? Mistakes happen.

| Re: Disneyland Project Tracker You also don't stay in business for 23 years if you aren't able to deliver. I don't know much in the way of any of the specifics (and I doubt we ever will) but there may be numerous possible reasons for the failure. I am disappointed it will be delayed but hopefully they can get it operational soon.

| Re: Disneyland Project Tracker I'm really interested in how the new dragon looks. Are there no leaked photos (maybe a vid!) of the new dragon setup on stage?

| Re: Disneyland Project Tracker It would be nice if the old "cove" pool area and fantasy waters area at the DL Hotel could be combined and rebuilt to look like this pool area: http://wdwnewstoday.com/wp-content/u...t/DSCN1807.png Its the pool area at the new Bay Lake Tower at WDW. It's contemporary looking, yet still fun. I really like the Mickey head spa. Is there ANY info yet on upgrades to the facilities and amenities at the DL Hotel?

| Re: Disneyland Project Tracker i agree that the cove pool area and especially fantasy waters could use a major make over. fantasy waters should become maybe a gallery or a small movie theater that shows a different Disney film every other night for hotel guests |

| Re: Disneyland Project Tracker How is Astro Orbitor running? I have seen no pictures and heard no talk about it since shortly after it re-opened. But I did notice one thing about it that's working (or at least operating) again. Althrough last time I heard the planets don't revolve around each other, the structure does spin in the opposite direction- just before the ride begins.. Before that the planets were stopped completely. You can see the stopped planets during the launch in this video from New Years Eve, 2008: (note: none of these videos are mine) You can see the ride launching at about 0:10. This video of the re-opened Astro Orbitor, on the other hand, shows the structure rotating counter-clockwise at the beginning of the ride. The structure seems to wind back for a few seconds and then proceed to spin the other way. As you can see in this video from 1998, the structure (with the planets that revolved around each other) rotated counter-clockwise the entire time the rockets weren't flying. But now we have a little winding-up Astro Orbitor. What does this mean? Is it because they couldn't fix the other planets so they decided to add this?
