Segway=segue=transition, as in the long transition tunnel in between show scenes during the first part of the ride. Actually, using Segways to ride through an attraction would be kinda cool. Maybe they can build something like that for the Segway park tour (like a one-room show building, ala Universal Tram Tour's Kong or Earthquake, where you steer your Segway through during the park tour).

This Place was full of love, magic and pixie dust before you castoff fanbois washed ashore in these parts. You guys need to tone it down and learn manners. Or else I'll be forced to send you to Glendale for regular spankings!

I was just playing into Spirit's fears about Iger bringing that new fangled technology the kids love into every experience in "DISNEY PARKS"(c)!

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Looking at the model in the Blue Sky Cellar yesterday, it didn't look like there would be any screens. They will have rounded walls in the back that may have some simple projections on them (bubbles, clouds, birds, etc), but it looked like all of the scenes would be fully dimensional, with fully dimensional AA's. Of course, that's all subject to change, but the model looked pretty promising. In the video they show, it had a test of a lot of the Under the Sea creatures, and they were all 3D figures with simple (yet effective) movement. It will be something to see once they paint them and install them all in the scene together.

I am encouraged that there won't be screens, Ferret...though it would have been cool if they were a part of the backgrounds.
