And the patents associated with that work ended up with the engineering firm, not Disney. As a result, it was Disney money which allowed others to develop their flume rides. And that Disney would never again out-source such work. Now why Disney was not ahead of Knott's in deploying the technology remains a mystery. In my opinion, Disney lagged behind the competition in the late 70's and early 80's (convering the Walker/Tatum era) by being too tightly controlled by the bean counters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-40651830788199679792007-12-04T09:09:00.000-08:002007-12-04T09:09:00.000-08:00Progressland - that's just too funny!
