Possibly.....

Hey Lou

I just think that ride isn't very good. Disney could do much better. It wouldn't hurt my feelings to see it bulldozed and replaced with something better.

TCD, The station was open at Thanksgiving. We walked up those steps and into Fantasyland. Nothing else was open, though. There were temporary walks lining the walkway.

I wish that they would use a CAT D9 to refurb it. That ride sucks, IMHO.

Welcome to FF.net!!!

The arrangement is very similar to the way military bases arrange ammo bunkers. If one explodes it is far enough away as to not cause secondary explosions.

The horror of it...... So who knows the story behind this area....looks like a place for TCD to explore. http://binged.it/I46kh4

Notice that these homes have a little dock on the lake.....hmmmm. That must be nice.

What about the first map link? Any ideas?

Consider it a date.....not a mandate, though.

Who knows the purpose of these buildings? http://binged.it/HgFTDo Hint: their arrangement in relation to each other is critical.....

Some good info there, but it doesn't say where the CC plant was located. So, my snooping was a success. :clint: That pdf says peak load is nearly 200 MW. I would have guessed a bit more than that. Looks like the plant can make just over 50 MW.

One of the things that I like to do is use Google and Bing to explore WDW. I was looking around the other day and found this cluster of homes. It appears to be well inside of the Disney property line. Is this the land that the Reedy Creek councilmen own? http://binged.it/I24uxd Also, I guess some non Disney fanatics don't know that Disney has their own power plant. I had read that it was behind the MK. I looked around and spotted it too. I thought it was a simple combustion turbine that is fueled by natural gas. But after looking at the Bing photos it appears to be "combined cycle" plant with

TCD, There is a stroller/wheelchair ramp at the new train station. Instead of walking up the steps you hang a hard right and the path is sort of "V" shaped. I pushed our girls up it last Thanksgiving.

Do you have anymore of this area? I would love to see an old aerial of the original rides.

There used to be some small tables around the magic carpet ride....maybe 3 or 4.

I was mauled by a cougar once....... at a bar in Aspen. BTW TCD, That was obviously one of Disney's autonomous animatronics that they have been testing. It's a joint effort between Disney and the DOD. They will be used throughout the parks and in Afghanistan.

PWNED? j/k, of course

I think we all need to realize that the Fort that we know and have been visiting for years is about to change drastically. This DVC project will most likely impact the Fort greatly. I hope that some cool things will happen, though.....like better restaurants and more pedestrian areas along the lake.

I like the Fort as is

I have been following the ongoing debate about the monorail and bus system. After listening to advocates of both sides intently I have found a picture that, IMHO, sums up the debate nicely. The woman with the guy is the monorail system. The other woman is the bus system. :rofl2:

I enjoyed every bit of this TR, except for the leaving pics. Very depressing ;-)

I like it.
