Is it just a coincidence that marcie's agenda happens to run parallel with TDA's? Like, consistently over a period of years and several different management regimes? And yes, I agree that if marcie really is a front for TDA spinmeisters, it's a pretty lame attempt. People knock al's "reliability" as a source of disney gossip, but he's head and shoulders above marcie, who apparently actually works in there. Now how does that happen?

He could definitely be fired for sharing trade secrets.
Originally Posted By Skellington88 I hope you all know that "Marice" and her column are a fabrication of the Disney Corporation that was made to counter-act negative publicity from the likes of Al Lutz and Jim Hill.

Originally Posted By Westsider Your late to the party Skellington88, but thanks. leemac, thank you very much for the backstory on "Marcie". It makes a lot more sense now, especially because his statistical info is so totally wrong sometimes, and always in DCA's favor. It's all come together now, and my faith in TDA has been restored now that I know Marcie isn't officially on the payroll paid to create these counter-rumors. I still can't get over the fact that Marcie isn't a she, but I'll try. ;-)
Originally Posted By Westsider Okay, thinking some more here, and I'm actually glad Marcie is a guy. I remember thinking "Geez, this lady sure is mean-spirited and weird". You should have seen the mental image I came up with for what she must have looked like. UGLY! I don't mean to be sexist, but it makes a lot more sense that it's a guy, and those qualities Marcie puts on display are definitely more "guy" type qualities.

Originally Posted By monorailblue Maybe the solution to the problem here is to refer to it as "the Marcie". I once attempted to contact the Marcie to take it to task on some inaccurate statements of fact. Though in post-until-they-get-it overdrive mode, once I wrote to it asking for clarification, the Marcie went silent as a the Skyway. When it returned, the Marcie had dropped the subject entirely. Back to the subject at hand, I would like to see what of Rockit Mountain is installed, just to see it, but I'm very satisfied with the traditional, through-the-darkness-and-stars Space Mountain. And I wouldn't even mind if they dropped the soundtrack. I think having one is an acceptable enhancement, but I also think it was just fine before.
