Then they moved on to WDW. There were brief shots of the Utilidors. Lots about the animatronics ( YEAH)!!!! The progression of the park construction. Quite a bit of the ride technology building up to "Lucky". And of course the obligatory finale with Expeidition Everest. All in all a great show. Obsiously they can't fit all there is to know about the parks and resorts into two hours. But what they did demonstrate was incredilbe. Lots of interviews, lot of behind the scenes shots of construction and engineering of rides and attractions. I liked it. I would have to say its an absolute must see show!! Thanks Tom

Oh, and somewhyere, I read or heard that the earrings are gifts he's received from friends and on travels. Not sure if that's true or not.

Originally Posted By sherrytodd I'm not saying anything negetive about Joe Rohdes. DAK has been one of my favorite parks from the day it opened.

It is a lot of hype but I have never seen any theme park ride make the front page of any newspaper before. This must be impressive to a lot of people. All the way up here in Vermont is absolutely mind boggling. I'd say it and Joe are on their way to immortality.
