World debut of World of Color
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.

On those 'other' boards,no one can figure out why they didn't make the veiwing area in tiers.
The people in the back are at the same level as the people in the front. Apparently 'stadium' seating didn't cross the minds of the the suits. Maybe the thought of 'Dining Seating' was the driving factor? Beer....The reason I get up every,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,afternoon.

Ah, I had a hunch. Fluff is what all companies do. Even British Petroleum. ;)darph nader wrote:It's all 'fluff', Disney can do no wrong.
Still, the show is awesome. Which is what the video focused on.
The view that I got last night was not that bad, it was pretty close...
Apparently the reason that Disney has gone with the Fastpass thing is so people don't camp out all day like with Fantasmic.

Re: World debut of World of Color
...And according to Wikipedia the viewing area is "multi-tiered" so who knows...
I'll have to check again next time I go.

Re: World debut of World of Color
The viewing area is in tiers. There's three levels. Mind you each level holds quite a few people, but there are distinctly three levels that have stairs (and various roundabout ramps) that go to each one. I have no idea what these people are talking about.darph nader wrote:It's all 'fluff', Disney can do no wrong.

From the photos of when the area was being built it 'did' appear to have different levels. It could be a 'perspective' issue. The back looks higher than the front,but not 'high' enough.lady ulrike wrote:The viewing area is in tiers. There's three levels.

Re: World debut of World of Color
Well, I'd say that the long-run its not really that big an issue, because even from the back, most of the show can still be seen.
