Oh yeah I know that but in my head that's part of the pavilion. What I meant is that isn't 5 stories... or is it? Gosh it never appeared to be but now that I think about it in comparison with the building I work in (that also happens to be 5 stories) it may be huh? Trying to think back to being in that theater though... was it that tall?

I'm not sure. But I hear there are star wells behind it and projectors and such

I might call you correct in this context. I did hear from another user, @WondersOfLife, who also reports the interior makeup behind the eyes and projection screen. Amazing to see how much work is needed to keep the show running while it lasted. Just wow.

***NEWS FLASH*** With one picture, taken three days before this forum post, exactly what @Jwhee was discussing. Someone else has the guts to do such a thing, but please, proceed to the image link with caution. How Buzzy looks will surprise you.

THAT IS AMAZING!!!

I'm just so happy to see Buzzy still being fixed up.. Was so depressed when I saw the before and after picture. My heart lightened up now

Talked to a cm that worked in WOL, he/she indirectly hinted that the show has been ran since its 2007 closing

Show lighting still works.

 

[Jwhee]

Marni, do you know if its true that they have ran the show since its closing? Why would they keep the lighting working...?

No idea on running. Show lighting being on as opposed to work lights was a surprise to me.

WDWEpcotCenter posted these pictures on Instagram and he said they were taken very recently!

Notice the markings on them? You can see the red sticker on the MET logo, I wonder what it is for

I have a 50-50 chance of him being moved, what @Bairstow meant was with the image could be a more sinister connotation... like haunting people's dreams?

 

[Jwhee]

I hear they might put Buzzy in the new Inagination ride, if it ever happens. But you can see that the show lighting works in those pics

Thanks to Marnis video, I have found the sign that is still light up with 00:00

 

[Jwhee]

Also thanks to marni's video, This portion of the queue looks almost identical to how it does today, the control panel is still intact, just add some boxes.

I really hope they preserved the boards and replica medals somehow as proof of attraction existence. I always wondered what the Purple Brain medallion in the queue symbolised, kinda the equivalent of the Purple Heart? I kind of imagined the Cranium Commandos piloted some heroes, presumably.

Very smart of marni to do so.

This is probably THE coolest thing I have seen on these boards. Thank you so much for sharing!!

Looks similar to the red "DO NOT DESTROY - Disney Archive" stickers seen on Dreamfinder's Balloon Race in Imagination.

Probably for evaluation and (hee hee) brainstorming on any possible refurbs, if existent.

Highly likely, they'll be museum artefacts come the next D23 expo.
