Epcot, the Fourth Reich
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.

Re: Epcot, the Fourth Reich
Before I saw the video, I was going to say, No, Zazu, the management at Knott's is the Fourth Reich. Because when I worked there, management made Hitler look like a sweetie pie.
Now that I've seen the video.... yeah, I can just see that. Change the words to relate to Knott's, and you'd have him upset he can't go through the Haunted Shack anymore, or buy snacks at the Original Berry Stand, or see the Missions exhibit,or the little devil that turns a crank to make the volcano erupt, or ride Knott's Bear-y Tales anymore. He can still ride the Calico Railroad, but there's no petting zoo in Camp Snoopy, etc.. I can still remember a guest once asking me where the Corkscrew was. Gone twenty years ago.

Re: Epcot, the Fourth Reich
So great, esp. where I know some German, my mind is toggling between what is really being said and the "translation" in subtitles :D:

Don't dwell on it. Just pretend you don't know any German. It's easier that way. (waves right hand like a Jedi)Ho-say wrote:So great, esp. where I know some German, my mind is toggling between what is really being said and the "translation" in subtitles :D:
