So I got an email back from the Walt Disney Company about Peoplemover and MBC...

[Ghostbuster626]

Hey guys, the otherday I just decided for the hell of it, to email the Walt Disney Company asking if the Motorboat Cruise and Peoplemover were returning. This is the response I got back:

"Dear Alex,

Thank you for your e-mail to the Disneyland Resort.

Thank you for your interest in the People Mover and the Motor Boat Cruise.
Unfortunately, these attractions has closed permanently. As Walt Disney himself once said, "Disneyland will never be completed as long as there is imagination left in the world." Walt continually evaluated existing
attractions in order to make changes, modifications, and occasionally close
attractions to make way for new and exciting adventures. In keeping with our philosophy of making Disneyland exciting and ever changing, we are continually evaluating our attractions, closing some existing attractions and
developing new facilities to reflect progress and to maintain the interest of
our visitors.

Walt Disney Imagineering has already begun formulating preliminary design and conceptual plans for a new attraction. We are sure that you will agree that our Disney Imagineers have an outstanding track record with creating exciting attractions that appeal to visitors of all ages. We hope that
you will continue to follow the developments of the Disneyland Resort.

Again, Alex, thank you for taking the time to write. We hope you will have the
opportunity to visit
the Disneyland Resort soon and trust your visit will be pleasant in all regards.

Sincerely,

Linda Trump
Disneyland Resort
Guest Communications"

The letters are just fill-in-the-blank for the employees of Disney. When I wrote about the possible removal of the Submarines, I got the same response.
Too bad they don't respond like they used to, more personable.

[Ghostbuster626]

I was hoping the "we are imaginerring a new attraction" part wasnt fill in

Let's hope not!!

I got the same thing when I emailed them about Rocket Rods. Sorry to disappoint.

[Ghostbuster626]

Did you email them recently or a long time ago?

[DznyVan]

Same response that we got (fill in the blanks) twice. I wonder if Linda is a real person or just a name made up for these type of responses???

[cellarhound]

Pardon me whist I sneeze...

"formletter"

thanks I feel better now...

[Tinkerbell]

Those form response letters are so disappointing. For once I'd like to see them respond to their queries like actual, real live intelligent people, not like some pseudo AA figure. Everytime I've written to them I get the same... always using Walt's words. It's a bit insulting I find.

[cellarhound]

What gets me is the grammer is incorrect....

Unfortunately, these attractions has closed permanently.

Should be "attractions have..."

[ah schucks]

I don't mean to poke the bubble of anyone here but do people actually anticipate anything more than a form letter from a giant corperation like Disney? I mean honestly, they are gonna choose to divulge major renovations plans to a bunch of net surfing Disney fans? Did it ever occur that those are the type of changes Disney/Matt Ouimet/Bob Iger- would make in a very official cermony?

Should be "attractions have..."

Should be "grammar" (quit thinking about Kelsey).

[Kevie]

I emailed them about a month ago.

Hey, I didn't pick on spelling!!! I just said grammer...

It's her 80th birthday today, you know...

As Walt Disney himself once said, "Disneyland will never be completed as long as there is imagination left in the world."

I think Disney uses this quote as their biggest excuse for the crap they pull. How many times did we hear this quote as they brought in TL '98? If memory serves me correctly, this quote was also used by Ms. Harrissssss when they removed Country Bears and put in the Pooh. I've always interpreted the quote as Walt meaning that things would continually be added to the Park, not continually removed for either something cheap or even nothing at all. In the EPCOT documentary found in the Tomorrowland Disney Treasures DVD, they even say, "Whatever worked became the norm. Whatever didn't was removed; replaced by a better idea". I think that quote should be used more than the "Disneyland will never be complete...." quote. I'm not meaning to sound too negative. I'm very grateful that the Eisner/Pressler/Harris era is gone. I'm very optimistic with Matt as Pres. and am at least hopeful of Iger since he weakend Strategic Planning. I just wish they would exercises better exegesis when quoting Walt.

I can foward it your email adress if thats what your asking.

[mrfantasmic]

I got the same letter (same except for the rides I was interested in) back when I asked about the Rocket Rods.
I saved the E-Mail and it is exactly the same... Darn, huh?

[PumpkinKingJack]
