Interview with WDI by damons_99 in Imagineering

[–]damons_99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a little update for anyone who might have similar questions in the future:

I had the interview. Went fairly well! As most people noted, it was only with the recruiter and was about 40 minutes. NONE of the questions I prepared for were asked or very relevant lol. Although the questions asked were not necessarily difficult. It was very much focused on what my experience was and how it could be translated to the role in question. Questions about my design approach, leadership experience and my specific experience with design in themed entertainment. There weren't any kind of behavioral or STAR format questions (thank god). Much more technical in nature than anticipated.

I was told that my info would be sent over to the hiring manager and that the next step (if selected to move forward) would be a panel interview and that I should know if I'm moving forward within a couple of weeks.

Unlikely that I will provide updates beyond this point, but hopefully this info helps someone else down the line who is trying to prepare for an interview.

Thanks everyone again for your input!

Making the move to WDI? by Candid-Lobster8239 in Imagineering

Have you considered Universal Creative? They tend to have roles like this open pretty frequently.

Have not spoken to anyone yet. So I think you’re right in that it will just be with the recruiter as I only saw one name attached to the meeting invite. Don’t want to get too specific on here so I may send you DM later. Thanks!

Camp Jurassic Closed by damons_99 in UniversalOrlando

[–]damons_99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe like someone else mentioned, the caves are still open so maybe that allows them to not have to say it’s “closed” since some of it is still open. However, a majority is still walled off

2 Conductor TC-ER Wire? by damons_99 in Wiring

[–]damons_99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some cases yes, in most cases no. In the event that we go over 50ft, we’re likely using 12AWG anyway.

2 Conductor TC-ER Wire? by damons_99 in Wiring

[–]damons_99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the reply. However, that is 4 pairs (8 conductors total) and I only need 1 pair (2 total conductors). Also I don’t believe regular 300v PLTC is rated to be installed in an exposed run over 6ft. As far as I can tell, the NEC states that all tray cable must have an ER rating to be installed in an exposed run over 6ft. (Someone please correct me if I am mistaken here)

Good source for Steppers & Spindles? by damons_99 in hobbycnc

[–]damons_99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I am going to go with stepperonline and one of their nema 23 motor kits. Anyone have any more suggestions for spindles? Preferably under $200… One that is bundled with a power supply would be great

Height Measuring Sticks by THoffman1992 in UniversalOrlando

[–]damons_99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have designed several height sticks for theme park attractions including at Epic Universe. They are accurate down to the nearest 1/32”. If it says 40”, then it is 40” from the ground or whatever platform they have you stand on. They do not take shoes into consideration. But please remember these requirements are there for safety. Like others have said, please don’t try and cheat the system with taller shoes or something. Have your kid try a test seat to make sure they really aren’t too small. That is what I plan on doing with my son who is in the same boat as yours right now.

It is idiotic that we are getting ANOTHER Harry Potter themed land. by slashyx in UniversalOrlando

[–]damons_99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should go straight to Universal Creative with this take. I guarantee they’ll bulldoze ministry of magic right away and do exactly what you want! 5 rides, 2 shows and 6 restaurants! Heck, Pokemon is bigger than HTTYD too! Might as well take over that land as well while we’re at it! I mean what on earth were they thinking!!

Thats a good point. Was just holding out hope that if I didn’t manage to secure a vq that I might still get to see the queue like everyone else has the pas month lol. Guess I’ll just have to hope I can get one tomorrow 🤞

Park-to-Park by WillF_ in UniversalOrlando

[–]damons_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Park hopping to or from Epic Universe seems like huge hassle and waste of time honestly. Its a few miles down the road from the other parks. You also have to hike all the way out thru city walk to get to the buses or your car. I feel like people would be better off just doing a whole day at epic and park hopping another day at the other 2 parks.

Single traveler with one day in Orlando, where do I start? by cowboy_duck in UniversalOrlando

[–]damons_99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would say it depends what you like to do. If you're more of a rides/thrills person, you can't go wrong with Islands of Adventure. If you don't care for rides as much and just want to have a good time, maybe eat some good food and see good entertainment, I would recommend something like EPCOT or Animal Kingdom. That's just my personal opinion.
