ETC sues Disney for breach of ride contract (http://philadelphia.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/stories/2003/08/04/story1.html?page=1) - Philadelphia Business Journal, 8/4/03
A 3 page report regarding Mission: Space at EPCOT.
QuikQuote: "If ETC is prevented from using its years of experience with human centrifuge systems to participate in the safety testing and analysis (of the ride) ... then there are increased risks of injury to the public at large, and the associated increased risk of irreparable damage to ETC's reputation," the company states in the suit.
The biggest beef ETC has with Disney, however, may be over the rights to the technology used in Mission: Space.
"Upon information and belief," ETC states in the suit, "Disney is considering building a ride system based on a multi-arm centrifuge for use in its Tokyo theme park without contracting with ETC to design, fabricate, construct and deliver such a ride system." That, ETC alleges, would violate the contract between it and Disney concerning Mission: Space.
