It's great to hear that people actually want to give DCA a shot now. I think it's an extremely under rated park. Wylder, can't wait to see you guys in a week. It's going to be a blast!
To change the subject, Tim will be returning to the podcast in the near future, so if you have any questions for him please post them here and we'll make sure to ask him on his next episode.

This is great. Oh man I got some question.
Has Tim ever worked on the Horizon ride at Epcot? If so, here's some of my question.
1. Where did the idea of the Onimax screen being used on the ride come from?
2. Was Horizon ever been consider to be a sequel to the Carousel of Progress and how did it come from the orginal Edison's Laboratory ideal?
3. How did the concept of chosen your own ending evolved from the idea of the "The Black Hole" ride concept come from. Also, what's whole concept of The Black Hole ride supposed to be about?
Are water rides and attractions harder to do then coaster, dark rides, or show attractions?
On the Epcot Living Sea Pavilion where did the idea of Sea Base Alpha come from? Where the ideas of the Living Sea Pavilion Sea Base Alpha to have been spin off to a TV show or movies back when it started?
How does he feel about the Living Sea Pavilion losing Sea Base Alpha theme to a less action more sterile feel, and using only Pixar characters in a highlight way for the Pavilion?
For the Living Sea Pavilion how did the scuba tube show idea come from. I thought it was so futuristic and and wonder if it was from the Air Lock scene in many Sci-fi movies.
How do you determiner where and how many Hidden Mickey's are place in a attraction or display. Also, what kind of rules are there in order to have a hidden Mickey in a attractions.
Back when the Living Sea Pavilion was Sea Base Alpha how was Jason the robot ever taken from other movies robots movies like Vincent from The Black Hole? Was Jason the robot a brother to the World of Motion - Bird the Robot?
A mini-submarine robot at the Living Sea Pavilion.
Why was the Neptune idea for the Living Sea Pavilion scrap? What were some of the ideas going into the Neptune attractions?
What were the ideas for concept for the rumor 5 or 3rd gate for the U.S that would have been a more adult theme park having roller coasters and more thrill rides?
What new concept for a 20,000 leagues ride would he try to bring if it would come back to Disney World, Florida. Not including the proposal remake or re-imaging movie that in the works.
Why did Rocket Rods fail to work in it replace the People Mover at Disneyland. It sound cool, but having didn't fit the format of the people mover ride system with that stress the ride showed?
The old story for Spaceship Earth at Epcot was more about telecommunication and how it would bring the world closer together. With the new theme to the ride being about the internet did the the idea of the net being the lead tech for the 21st century ever been consider as the other theme for Spaceship earth back in the 80's. Also, I remember the touch screen where you can reverser dinner at the parks, was that part of what people saw the net being used back then as the idea of what the future could have? _________________
I'd also be interested in many of Stingray's questions for Tim, especially those regarding the gutting of the Living Seas and its replacement with all the Nemo theming. Sure, Turtle Talk is fun, but the removal of the Hydrolators and the original film definitely is a major shift from the original concepts.
I'd also love to hear more about Disneyland Paris. In particular, could Tim address the shift to Space Mountain Mission 2? We rode this version in 2006 when we visited Paris, and I'm curious about the differences between that and the original version. Was he involved in these updates?
For California Adventure, I'd also be interested in hearing Tim's thoughts about the new changes that will be appearing in the upcoming years. Does adding The Little Mermaid Attraction and the World of Color really mesh with the original ideas for the park? Is the Cars Land going to fit within the theming of the rest of California Adventure?
Once again thank you Doug and the crew for the interviews with Mr. Delaney! I absolutely love this series of interviews as I could listen to him for hours. I know you had a wonderful time interviewing him. I could certainly feel it.
I wish Mr. Delaney much continued success and I'm looking forward to what he has planned for the future. He's very inspiring!
Great questions.. myself.. I'd like to know what books he has in his reference library. We all have those volumes that we feel are "
indispensable". I'd love to know what his are.
