I look forward to it all, but I find it quite humorous the way Disney has spun the River of Light delay/debacle into Jungle Book with nary a mention of the original show. They make it seem like its been the plan all along - quite handy.
ReplyDeleteRivers of Light, scrubbed from existence. Until it exists, again. Its like a time warp. lol
Seriously? You're holding it against them that they ran into delays and instead of simply nothing they put together a totally appropriate placeholder show that utilizes the tech they are comfortable with at this point?
ReplyDeleteYou believe they staged the difficulties they're having, because why?
@Lance, I'm sure Anonymous was just making light of what a technological disaster Rivers of Light has become, especially when some believe a 2017 debut is a possibility.
ReplyDeleteI could not agree with Lance more. Really Trent....technological disaster? Do us all a favor and go to another park (not Disney owned).
ReplyDeleteTrolling again, anonymous? Boy, for a country that believes in free speech, you certainly hide the fact really well!
ReplyDeleteHello Friends and Neighbors, first anonymous here! A couple of you take yourselves and Disney far too seriously.
ReplyDeleteNo, I do not think Disney staged the failure of the GPS nav system in the barges of the night show JUST so they could switch to Jungle Book theme. I was actually being COMPLEMENTARY about their press office's ease in TOTALLY pasting over the STILL PLANNED show's existence, i.e. the non-obsessed never read about Disney until they go there crowd might actually NOT KNOW Jungle Book is a quick replacement show for the planned one. This is what good PR does. I believe "quite humorous" is a far cry from "holding it against them" Also, I began with "I look forward to it all" and I do.
Reading comprehension is a lost art I guess.
And, I'd have to agree with Trent - yes, its a very big tech disaster. It has held up the original show for months. MONTHS. This was not some little glitch.
Now then, do US a favor: Have a magical day!
