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.

Re: World of Color
It was bad, but not THAT bad. The show itself is stunning, and HUGE kudos to the Guest Control team, who were doing a fantastic job with a less-than-fantastic guest control plan. The lines and crowds were bad, but I never once saw a CM get exasperated and start yelling, the way I often do at Fantasmic.

Re: World of Color
Yes, the GC was bad and this was with CMs, it's going to be much worse when it's open to everyone and the exasperation and yelling will probably start then. Mind you, I saw the very first show, so things may have improved greatly after that.GuestJockey wrote:It was bad, but not THAT bad.

Re: World of Color
I was one of the 50 people who won the World of Color trivia contest from the Disney Parks blog, and I'll be seeing the show at the red carpet premiere tomorrow.
I'm really looking forward to it. This has been a long time coming.
And here's hoping that guest control won't be too much of a problem!
