Space Camp analyzing decline in attendance

[Boomerang]

Well i doubt its any worse than when i use to go to camp. Back then the weeks were always full or atleast close to it.

[Benji]

It's always full in summer.

This summer has been low though. Last summer had a lot more from what I have heard.

It always seems like it's the highest though right before school starts.

I am a Disney historian and now Disney is going to hurt or kill space camp if it is not mentionted in its new attaction, if I understand that it is going to be like SC. I love the Disney company but they have started doing things such as getting rid of some of the good old attractions. I think von Bruan would love this attraction but he is the person who thought of the USSRC and SC is the place of begins. I think that if Disney and von Bruan where still alive today they would have done something togther and maybe and improve SC. Disney and his artist did some stuff for von Braun like comics or drawings of his ideas. Von Bruan help Disney design the stuff for Tomorrowland like a Just look at the site http://www.disney.go.com/vacations/miss ... index.html

I was just at an IT Florida convention at the Contemporary Resort at Disney World. I met the CIO of Disney and he talked about all of the technology at Disney, which was very cool.

I like Disney, too (heck, I'm a shareholder and employee), but I am also disapointed about some of the rides they are dismantling. It isn't like they don't have enough room to expand.

Disney should definetly put something about Space Camp in the end of the new attraction. In fact, that'd be a perfect advertising space for the USSRC. People who visit Mission Space would be interested in space, especially after experiencing it, and would have to have been able to afford Disney in the first place. I'll talk to the CIO (I got his card ) and see if he could maybe work something out. Hey, the USSRC was looking to do some advertising, right?

Hey Benji that would be great PR for not only SC but Disney as you know is not doing to great with the bad econmy and terriosm fears. You hsould mention to the CIO that Mr. Disney and Dr. Wernher von Bruan worked toghter for the buliding of Tommorwland.

Yeah, and Disney's cartoons sold Americans on spaceflight (See [urlhttp://www.space.com/news/spacehistory/vonbrau ... 20813.html]http://www.space.com/news/spacehistory/ ... 20813.html[/url])
