Originally Posted By HokieSkipper No they sued Disney because they didn't pay them the correct amount. And obviously WDI had final say, but they did not design the ride like you see it today. And I fail to see how the simulator doesn't work?

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer >>>They could have done better without killing any guests either...<<< You gotta be joking. Those people had pre existing conditions and were fairly warned.

Amazing!

If people keep going to an Asian food location and bitching because there's no burgers and chicken fingers, then is it wrong for Disney to further Walmart to make their guests happy? << Yes it is. One should never compromise their principles or the soul of their product to appease a few.
