We did have a German who was the director responsible for F&B at the launch of Hong Kong - Klaus Mager. I believe he is back in Germany now.

I know that DL's Magic Eye Theater (HISTA/EO) dropped the Kodak sponsorship right around the time that they filed Chapter 11, and I think the Imagination pavilion dropped its sponsorship around that time too.

I wonder if food companies would be interested in product placement in Ratatouille?!!!
