He was also, so I understand, the driving force behind getting the Lilly Belle back on the tracks (and it seemed like he spent almost as much time at the Monster, Inc., premiere party talking about that as the new ride).
I wonder if there is really much backstory on the departure. Perhaps he was just made an offer he couldn't refuse by Starwood. Obviously this wasn't a surprise to Disney and in contentious departures someone usually leaks it.
