As a new hire, can an RO expect to work attractions in a multiple number of areas, or are they still relegated to one (or two) areas?

I understand that for a couple of years now, they have gone to landlocked training as dluvsdisney explained. Were I to return to Tomorrowland, I would love to have Monorail, Subs and Space available to me, I would probably quit over the prospect of Honey and Astro Orbiter.

We, too, were landlocked. I started in Tomorrowland (loved it), and then transferred out to Main St./Parking Lot for a while (had its moments--great crew!), and then back in to Fantasyland attractions (loved it too). Was a good time.
Originally Posted By dresswhites ah the subs/autopia complex. i knew many, many people in this complex. i remember when it started it was just subs and autopia, but eventually grew to include steam trains, matterhorn, main street attractions, and various other random attractions. i worked custodial, but if i were to work attractions i wanted to work in this unit. i always wanted to work the submarines, steam trains, and matterhorn. you know i actually recall any of the other complexes. i know for a while there was narrations, but by 98 i believe it had been disbanded. does any one else remember the different complexes?
