If you're not familiar with Creepypasta, it's a genre of stories circulated around the Internet written to disturb or unnerve the reader. Even though these stories are obviously fictional, attached disclaimers and reactions from readers generally show that a number of people take them all too seriously despite the obvious flaws. Case in point? This little gem:

All in all, I can't decide if I should be laughing or cringing at the sheer stupidity of the author.
The Scariest Thing is How Inaccurate It Is
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

It's entertaining anyway. At least they got the name of Disneyland, Walt Disney, Club 33, and Pirates right. Other than that, completely silly.

Looks like someone is trying (poorly) for their 15 minutes of internet fame...
Re: The Scariest Thing is How Inaccurate It Is
Probably true, and if it has the word "Disney" in it, it will get attention.

This person does not know how the audio animatronics work. They use hydraulics to operate them.At one point, it got so quiet I could literally hear the gears of the animatronics.
Club 33 is a members only club that takes many years and money to join. Unless this person was a member ,they didn't go in there. So much for an accurate story.I decided to go to the Club 33.

I've been to Club 33 a few times and have arranged for a few distinguished SGT members and their friends to have dinner there. I'm not a member. How did I do it?avengador1 wrote:Club 33 is a members only club that takes many years and money to join. Unless this person was a member ,they didn't go in there. So much for an accurate story.
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Did you have on your Bob Iger costume again? I keep tell you they are going to get wise to that someday. :D:hobie16 wrote:I've been to Club 33 a few times and have arranged for a few distinguished SGT members and their friends to have dinner there. I'm not a member. How did I do it?
