It is rumored that Seth is at WDW working on his new ride...
wrong patent let me find the ride one :oops:
this is the right one but not the full disclosure I had before:

so it seems the rumors are true that he is no longer at the helm of VMK for the time being.

That patent sounds a lot like the Buzz Lightyear Ride/Online Game at DLR.

Thanks Mal for this information. It was very very enlightening about Yavn. :paper: :book:
-
I'm thinking the new attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Can't remember the name of it off hand, but its a possibility.
-
Besides Buzz, this also sounds similar to "Midway Mania" (I think that's what they are calling it), the new dark ride under construction at DCA, although I'm not positive that there is a 'play at home' component too it. However, it wouldn't surprise me. It is supposed to be fully interactive, and since it's newer than Buzz, the at home player could well be incorporated.
I had heard that they were also going to put this new ride, or a version of it at WDW. Although, I don't think they've begun construction yet.

Yea Toy Story Mania!

Toy Story Mania construction at MGM in WDW has been going on for quite some time now. It's being put in the old Who Wants to Be a Millionaire stage plus at least 1 other adjoining stage also (possibly 2, can't recall atm). Supposed to open Summer of 2008, but hopefully will be open a bit earlier. I might be going in May and would love to see it and try it out.
On the Yavn news, interesting. Of course, we don't know for sure he is mostly focused on that, but my assumption would be yes. As has been said many times, would Disney really feel the need to say Yavn isn't working in game right now, so here's someone new to be in charge? Don't think so; I think they'd be more likely to phase the character of Yavn out or just plug someone else in that character's slot. JMO of course.

It looks like Toy Story Mania will be opening at about the same time at both parks! Woo HOO!! Can't wait for Summer '08!
-
He is indeed involved in the new ride at Disney Studios which will replace WWTBAM. :)
-
While I haven't seen Yavn at WDW myself. I have had several people admit to seeing him in Florida working recently. So I would be inclined to think the rumors have some validity. If he's not working on that ride, certainly he is working on some project here in Fl for the time being.

any new news?
