I remember the only upgrades for Spectromagic during it's final years was finally giving the Spectromen glowing and moving costumes and making them brighter to make there faces more visible. As a result they were actually more expressive and smiling compared to the first few years where they mostly showed no emotion on there faces.
Spectromagic didn't "need" a technology update. It NEEDED to be STORED PROPERLY. It's trip to the dumpster was a direct result of TDO "cost management", not because it needed a "technology update" and the Orlando Destruction Team didn't want to pay for it, no matter what some Twitter account said.
Seriously - Stop being willfully ignorant of history, and reality, in some desperate attempt to be seen as having "inside knowledge". Those here who have actual "inside knowledge" and are respected because of their stellar track record around such things have said PTN is not coming to WDW. And they don't use Twitter accounts and tram drivers as their sources.
The rumors have been that Disneyland will ship their PTN to WDW, so either way the rumors will be wrong. Unless I'm mistaken which happens often (and I'm open to corrections).

Exxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxactly! I saw the termite riddled floats being destroyed one by one and tossed into dumpsters with my own two eyes. The floats were stored in HORRIBLE conditions and thats the ONLY reason Spectro never returned. After MSEP's initial run back at WDWMK Spectro was supposed to come back, parade managers confirmed to me it was coming back, and then they evaled the floats and realized that someone screwed up BADLY... Very little of the parade remains intact at this point, only a few float fixtures and in specific the Chernabog Torso and head .. Which was used in a d23 or something event about a year after the float was demoed.
Trust me.. I know... Even Martin knows that I know... Either that or I'm a magnificently accurate liar... Your choice
Coreless by ****newstoday then other sources confirmed that they are still talking about the decision.
