Link to the Show / Show NotesEarlier this week, The Orlando Sentinel's Daily Disney Blog posted an article about how Disney is working on a major technology
initiative that boosters hope could radically transform the theme-park
experience.
The $1 Billion Dollar project supposedly focuses on
the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). This technology would
allow for a small microchip to be placed in a wristband or even a theme
park ticket. Then, as you navigate the parks, the wireless-communication technology could be used in concepts ranging
from keyless hotel-room doors to rides and shows in which the
experience varies based on an individual guestâs preferences.
On
this week's show, EB and Mike discuss the possible applications for
this type of technology and what we hope to eventually see in the
parks. Will this forever change the way we experience the parks? Or
will it just be another way to easily buy a churro without reaching for
our wallets?
We also pick up on last week's discussion about
turning popular television shows into theme park attractions. We'll
hear your best ideas on what classic shows should be immortalized at
the parks. Some of you had great ideas! (Some of you didn't.)
We'll
go Off Topic to discuss an controversial documentary that EB saw.
We'll also talk about Mike's trip to an ocean resort in the dead of
winter where he got to see a few parks in hibernation.
Plus, we'll hear about how one of EB's dream predictions from last week's show can eerily true!
