Previously, a combination of ethernet, ATM, and others were utilizied to create the network backbone in Walt Disney World and Disneyland. It's an interesting look at how the "magic" is created. For example, using CobraNet's technology, they are able to stream audio out to speakers with no loss of sound quality, while keeping the control rooms in a centralized location remote to the area."
This is probably the best thing they could do. Imagine being a support tech in that datacenter, with the hum of the equipment being drowned out by It's a Small World in Japanese. Gives me seizures just thinking about it.

That way the owners can escape easily when all the robots have a malfunction and start killing everyone.

When I was a kid, we didn't have cable at home. Half the fun of family vacations was watching cable TV - MTV, TNT, a movie playing all the time. We'd travel hundreds of miles, then me and my siblings would want to stay in the hotel room and watch TV.
Now, when I go to Disney World with my kids ten years from now, they won't want to leave the hotel room. "But Dad, I have a latency of 0! ZERO!!!! I'm fragging all my friends back home! Who wants to ride stupid roller coasters, anyway."
