You mean.. like the golden parachute some Disney execa have in their salaried contracts..? Like that Ovitz guy..who was hired by Eisner, then let go with because he was a waste in the company and the guy pranced out of Burbank with like... $100,000,000 in his pocket for doing absolutely NOTHIING? We could have had another E-Ticket somewhere in DL or WDW for that much money!!!

Originally Posted By Jetlag I would estimate the actual coaster price tag to be around 15 million.

Vekoma came up with a new track system for this ride and it includes two complicated "Turntables", so the ride should be a bit more pricey than their usual products.
