assistant: Tokyo Disney Sea
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Michael Ovitz has reportedly looked at the model for this planned
park and inquired how he could get one himself.<G>  This dynamic new
project has all the makings of the best Disney adventure ever!
The park rests in Tokyo Bay and has been designed to utilize the
peripheral edges as extended breakwater.  The main gate features
three entrances to the left, right and center.  The themed lands
include:
Lost River Delta-Here you'll find a new version of the Indiana Jones
Adventure as well as a rainforest themed attraction.
American Waterfront-Designed to resemble a bustling modern city,
guests will be able to experience the only Tower of Terror attraction
planned outside of the states and it resembles a fairly respectable
skyscraper.
Other attractions include:
Aquatopia-Takes guests on a boat ride through whirlpools and
something called a "water vanguard".
Journey To The Center Of The Earth-Launching from within a huge
volcanic crater, these EMV's (Enhanced Motion Vehicles) will take you
on a thrilling journey to meet up with a ferocious subterranean
creature.
The Port Disney Electric Railway is an elevated train that transports
passengers from one side of the park to the other.
More on this exciting new development soon!

**Dragon Tower**
Rumoured to be a Vekoma International creation, this suspended indoor
rollercoaster will take place inside the burnt out shell of an old
castle where a dragon hoardes a treasure.  The cars are very ornate
with a flying batwing canopy overhead.  The dragon, currently in the
design stages, is rumoured to be the largest AA figure ever created!

Yup.  When Disney released Fantasia on tape and disc, it was advertised as

deleted from the Centaurs short.  I do have another version of the movie that
is completely intact...it is interesting to "A-B" the two to see exactly what
was cut.  Pretty strange.  I wouldn't consider what was cut to be offensive

coverate of Star Trek related materials, X-files, etc.  Cinefantastique had a
great issue recently devoted to Toy Story, and the double issue they did on
Pocahontas was really nice.  (But it was $11.95.  Ouch!)  Glad you discovered

assistant: Sorry to hear you didn't have great weather in April, but April is
statistically the best time of the year to go.  You hit it when they had a
very unusual heat wave.  It averages a high in the mid 80's, so you know that
it was unusually hot for you.  October is the other great time to go, just
warm enough for swimming, and still only in the 80's.  Old Key West is about
5 years old now.  Used to be called Disney Vacation Club, but when they
opened up three other DVC resorts, they renamed it.  Boardwalk is the newest
DVC resort.  The other two are at Vero Beach, FL and Hilton Head, SC. The All
Sport Resorts are definitely economical, Tammy.  I have not stayed there, but
I hear it is still Disney quality but without any frills.  Hope you can get
to go!
