She had just been on the Haunted Mansion attraction and the sound track was that of "It's a Small World!" Apparently, the audio for the two rides are somehow tied together (being so near each other) and IASW music was sent to both. Anyway...he told the lady he'd call them right away. He said he really wanted to run over there and ride it with that music. Can you imagine what that was like!?

I know its really weired too cause IASW is right next door. But its all about where they have room to run and store the equipment. Ghosthost01

Originally Posted By gaston lives That's great! The Audio Control devices you are referring to are known as DSP's.

They are very specific in linear quality, and they are designed NOT to lose audio to other sources. I'm thinking somebody either was playing a prank, or else somebody accidentally tripped on some wiring (probably far fetched) and reconnected the audio input to the wrong DSP. It woudl be a dream job of mine to go down and work the DSP's and audio for the HM or ANY part of Disney...if anybody has any leads, let me know!

Actually, Trippy, if you'd seen Family Guy this weekend, you'd know that IaSW kids are actually little ones who get lost in the MK and are then enslaved by Disney. Oh, and Eisner dies. lol

Originally Posted By danyoung >I'm thinking somebody either was playing a prank, or else somebody accidentally tripped on some wiring (probably far fetched) and reconnected the audio input to the wrong DSP.< As someone who has built and programmed complex control rooms (although probably not quite as complex as a Disney control room!), I can tell you that it is quite possible to get something routed wrong. It's not as if there is a hard wire between the sound modules and their destinations. Usually sound and video are run through routers, large multi-point in and out boxes. This would allow the HM sound, for example, to go to the HM but also to be monitored in the control room. It's possible for a tech to not be paying attention and send the wrong thing to the wrong thing. It shouldn't happen, but thanks to human error it can and does! What I wonder is what elements of IASW actually got piped into the HM. Did they hear the song out of the doom buggy speakers? Or maybe children singing African words coming out of Madame Leota's head? The possibilities stagger the mind!!!
