I was told that Toy Story Mania uses over 150 computers.
I guess the old mainframe doesnt have the cpu power they need for all the 3d stuff.
how would you like to find 1 small error in that system?
Some Disney Trivia
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.

How many imagineers does it take to change a light bulb?
20
1 to report the burnt out bulb.
19 to redesign the entire land to make it look like the bulb is supposed to be burnt out.
Mental note: Do not ever ask questions on SGT.com
Will result in getting treated like scum.

Re: Some Disney Trivia
The other day it was "how many engineers does it take to replace a small screw?" at one of my attractions. The answer is four, one to put the screw in, one to hold a flashlight for the first, and two to supervise. Must have been a slow day in Engineering.Mr. M wrote:How many imagineers does it take to change a light bulb?

Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Now that's not exactly right, most of the female CMs are straight. :)Zazu wrote:Q: How many straight cast members does it take to replace a light bulb on Main Street?

I'm looking forward to the complete flip of the effective male-female ratio when I go from GA Tech to Disney.

Not me. I remind myself that, should I try hitting on a lady, she might just hit back. :cat1:Lasolimu wrote:Hey, this makes me feel pretty safe about hitting on CMs on Main Street. :p:
