View Full Version : A Change in the Gold Collection
GreatGatsby 07-07-2005, 05:44 PM When discussing a problem I've been having with a piece of furniture, one of the techs working on VMK told me they've been having some discussions about one of the items in the Disneyland Gold Collection.
Apparently, they've pulled the velvet rope barrier from the collection. Although it's called the Disneyland Velvet Rope -- Special Gold Edition, she said it looks exactly the same as the ones you can buy and they didn't see any point in it. Discussions continue, however.
I suggested they make it look different: a gold rope instead of velvet, a red or blue D at the top -- any little thing to distinguish it from the regular ones. I have not gotten a reply, so I don't knwo how that was received.
GBShorts 07-07-2005, 06:21 PM Interesting.
All I've seen so far from this collection is the gold press and the chair.
Hm.
Ergh, a completely gold rope divider would look really painful on the eyes. I've experimented with ALOT of gold over my time in VMK, and let my just say, any solid colour in VMK is quite painful. Unless you mean the "gold" colour of the other items like the orange looking ones (ala Dice). I'm fine with that! By all means, let's hope it works!
PS: Are you in Disneyland right now? It kinda seems like it from the way you talked to the people working on VMK.

Hm.
Gold chair?
I've seen the gold random number generator and the penny press. Their ok; I've seen prettier shades of gold, LOL.

Waitaminute. You submitted a bug report - and got a response? Even a conversation?
Inquiring minds want to know how. (Or if we shouldn't ask because you're an insider and this would blow your cover on the boards.)
Enderz 07-07-2005, 07:02 PM I have the whole set. and all together except the rope. It looks really nice.
GreatGatsby 07-07-2005, 07:12 PM No, I'm not an insider, and I wasn't at DLR when I found out. :)
I was put in touch with a techie who was roaming VMK testing things because I asked for help on an unrelated matter. Having the opportunity, I asked about the rope divider because mine had disappeared. That's when I got the info. Unfortunately, I am unlikely to get the "special" one back unless they make a change they like and put them back in circulation.
To answer another question, the following items came in my Gold Collection:
Special Rope Divider
Gold Penny Press
Gold Scoreboard
Gold Philharmagic Chair
Gold Number Generator
Gold Turnstile
Maleficent2 07-07-2005, 10:51 PM that really was not fair for them to take away the one you have...I can see not putting it out anylonger if they so chose but since you already had it....
BandGeek 07-07-2005, 11:09 PM What is up with the number generator anyway?
Just wondering.
Foustketeer 07-08-2005, 01:00 AM It can be used for a game I guess but it's just there for amusement (for me at least! :D) Yea but I don't really know the real reason for it.

People wanted numbers.
They got numbers.
...and the programers got a big laugh as people ate up the new item and forgot about the fact you have to write in code to say how much you need ti score to get Fireworks Magic. :Tongue:
Tinklover 07-08-2005, 03:02 AM that collection is cool :CastMem:
toonysean 07-08-2005, 03:13 AM uh how do yuo get the things in the gold collection?
Alexander 07-08-2005, 03:36 AM uh how do yuo get the things in the gold collection?
Trade or a special card you get from the VIP tour.
But that won't matter, since someone hacked the database of the game and found out the items you get will come out in different colors. *waits patiently as he can for a green random number generator*
GBShorts 07-08-2005, 05:36 AM The chair I speak of is a gold version of the theater chair that formerly came in blue/red/green/pink...
It looks yellow, actually.
GreatGatsby 07-16-2005, 01:49 AM I have an update to the rope barrier situation in the Gold Collection:
It looks like they adopted my suggestion (I feel like an adopted Imagineer!).
The Disneyland Gold Edition Rope Barrier has been returned (as of yesterday), and to differentiate it from the rope barrier you can buy in the stores, they changed the rope from red to GOLD.
Alexander 07-16-2005, 01:55 AM Great! It's going to be a bigger eye sour now! :Tongue:
RoyalHighness 07-16-2005, 01:56 AM Thanks for the update. I though I lost my marbles when mine disappeared when I was moving it around in my HM room.
