and of course, we all know the fastest ride is NOT Test Track. It's Star Tours.

If Epcot were say.. The Grinch, for example.. and had been reigning terror down on Whoville for years with its heart that was 3 sizes too small, and someone unceremoniously decided to remove that heart or as the current ride puts "set free!" (strobe lights, wind effect, fog, big reveal) perhaps wouldn't thing be better for Whoville?

You know, us rumor mongers can only give you so many bread crumbs... March 1st. Pay attention what happens at SSE's big hoopla.

OK, I think it is a problem in the way we communicate, perhaps. I speak in absolutes and state flat out what I am thinking and don't really cover it up.

But for god's sake, I can't understand a thing you are saying. Which current ride? Imagination? What heart? I have to know what your opinion is as to the the heart to know what this means.

I guess I'll wait for the march 1st thing, I suppose. Or you could simply say it in simple english for me.

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe. >>

And if you read Annotated Alice, it actually explains what that poem means.

Are you a rumor monger?

I probably could make a couple of phone calls and find out what is going on (IF anything) - but why bother? When I get told upcoming info, I'm generally told to keep it a secret anyway. I don't go around saying "oh, I know something, it's going to be announced on xxx"

I think all of you will like it.

I too would like a translation of the curious post.

I'm pretty sure that Spokker is just trying to make a bunch of fuss about whatever, since that's not related to the thread at all, so I would just ignore it, unless we want to continue the conversation about the lovely aromas that come from waterless plumbing.

What is that? Either you have the information or you don't. If you can't talk about it then shut up about it.

Saying when announcements will be really is the safest way to let people know what will becoming up, without endangering their job. Some careful hinting with well placed clues can definately get the point across, but it is a lot more difficult and risky to do. As you said in the other thread, this isn't the real world, so why endanger your real job for this?

They have them in Muir Woods. Oh my god do they stink.
