A Yeti Welcoming
ORLANDO (Orlando Sentinel) – Disney chief Bob Iger will be in town this week for the official opening of Expedition Everest at the Animal Kingdom. I'm told he's ridden the fancy coaster, but no word on how many times. Michael Eisner, his predecessor, was a big fan of thrill rides and rode Mission: Space at Epcot 20 times when it was still in development. We'll see if Iger takes another Everest spin during this visit. Seems like he'd want to try out the merchandise: Disney spent a reported $100 million to get the Everest ride opened. Also in town for the Everest grand opening this week: Famed primatologist Jane Goodall; actress Isabella Rossellini and British comedian John Cleese. (Can't say whether the Monty Python funnyman will silly-walk his way through the Animal Kingdom.) The three will be honored for their commitment to wildlife conservation.
Ahahahahaha! That part in red is really funny. Give me a minute to wipe the tears. Is this an Op-ed piece? Informational, yet hardly supportive of the compnay that pays most of the bills in Orlando. Once again, the Sentinel reminds us that if you can't be anti-Disney without good reason, you can at least be 'non-Disney'.
God, I hate the Sentinel. The only cool thing is watching the printing press.
