We statements directly from the company saying they had no intention of changing the descent, that the triangles were as they intended them, and now this statement from WDI itself on the creative concept and what it's "supposed" to be. But you still wont admit you've been duped.

Originally Posted By HokieSkipper Nope, nothing made up. I worked at SSE while it was being refurbished. I talked to the show producers of the refurb daily.

Originally Posted By HokieSkipper If you knew absolutely anything about WDW, you'd know that one hand has absolutely no idea what the other is doing. I would take anything that WDW guest communications says with the biggest grain of salt possible for things that pertain to WDI.
Originally Posted By mousermerf And you can't say what more there was supposed to be, who this person was, how to contact them, or any way to verify your information - but if someone wants to recontact WDW guest communications of the Siemens sponsorship liaison they will get the same response on the matter. I did my homework.

Originally Posted By mousermerf No, keeping a lie going is so important. Giving people false hope that it will be finished next week, next month, next year.. so wont get angry this time and complain - that's important right? Because that's what happened. When it was first brought up the people were upset but then people like you came in and explained it all away - just wait, there's a plan.. the plan.. wait for the plan.. And wait.. and wait.. and wait... We're still waiting, it's a few years and Disney got away with it. Gee, thanks for that. If people had complained when it happened it might have gotten fixed. Long story short: Look at the damage you've done.
Originally Posted By HokieSkipper Hahahahaha! Oh merf, you're cute. There is/was a plan. The money ran out. That happens. Deal with it. I'm not some Disney super-villain trying to piss on some fan who spends way too much time trying to prove his crazy rants. I didn't tell anyone then, nor will I tell anyone now, because this person trusts me, and I'm not gonna betray that trust for you.

Originally Posted By HokieSkipper <<Yes! By the way, Skipper, how many children have you eaten this morning?>> 2, but I've been feeling under the weather. I'd usually be at 4 by now.
Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer There are my friends! And really? False hope? Damage? Doom? Gloom? Are we THAT over dramatic, Ms. Merf? It's a theme park. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I'll admit to it. Chill it. There's no sufficient evidence, even with this slew of WDI PR mumbo jumbo, either way.
Originally Posted By Krankenstein I don't trust a book that makes Dino-Rama seem like it was originally intended for DAK in another volume. I'll stick by my sources that told me otherwise and no, they weren't random posts one forum. Btw, that explanation is from the revised "Imagineering Field Guide to Epcot".

I can finally go back to sleeping at nights knowing that SSE is complete now.
