Spaceship Earth News...Emailing picture plus video

The discussion continues because the folks around here that have "insider respect" still say it is being worked on.

Why not believe them just because you personally can't see what is happening?

What would be the purpose of folks like Adam and Lee lying to us?

What would be the point of their contacts lying to them?

OK, for one, as much as I "respect" insider info, that never means you should blindly follow it and believe it.

Two, I never said Lee or Adam are lying.

Three, Disney is known to send out mis-information, why wouldn't they now?

My point being, and I think MousDad's too, is that we're not really talking about a refurb anymore. This is a "plussing" or "enhancement" at this point.

My other point being, it's sad they're spending this much time on a descent that no one should really notice if the videos are working, and there are much bigger issues in the park that need attention.

I'm off to visit again in about three weeks, I'm hoping the vids work.

Exactly, plus the fact that we can physically see changes happening quite often.

Very true, and also remember those curtains in the descent have been changing shape almost weekly, especially in the peppers ghost area. This could very well mean at night they take them down, work on whatever may be going on back there, and then putting them back up. When I rode last week they looked very very different compared to when I rode in late December, shape wise.

Hey, if the refurb has been continuing on under cover of darkness and curtain for a year, then (after I get over my surprise) I'll be the first to applaud. Although, my socks will be in full "you better blow me off" mode after that wait.

That's true, but why in this case question it? Just so you can complain about what term to use, refurb versus enhancement?

If they are say, "This is what is happening" and you respond with "I don't believe you are telling the truth", then what are you saying?

So just to clarify, your theory is Disney knows that we are here discussing curtain movements and to throw us off the scent they are sending misinformation out through various channels hoping it will reach us? Excuse me while I get my tin foil hat.

There may be bigger issues in your opinion, but you don't know what the allocation is to this project or how it is affecting other projects. Your statement is erroneous. For all we know there could be one minimum wage guy back there working part time.

:ROFLOLrobably right. Lets hope he can work wonders! We need some wonder in there.

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

Didn't they appear some time shortly after the soft openings but before the rededication?

First we saw structuring. Then we had MAJOR audio changes to the area. Then Triangles popped up. Then the Triangles were light up.

More has happened as time goes on. Take that and what our "informants" tell us, I think something is going on.


Just a gut feeling, especially after WDI pulled off a stellar refurb of the 1st 3/4ths of the ride.
The anti-climatic end is SO out of place.

My theory is it's Steve Wozniak and he is finishing the project gratis :lol:

Because it's not a refurb anymore. It's an enhancement. If anything is going on at all. How many refurbs are over a year long? On one part of a ride?

If they are say, "This is what is happening" and you respond with "I don't believe you are telling the truth", then what are you saying?

Show me where I say that. Go on. Show me.

I think that's your theory, as I never said that either. I didn't even make light of any "theories." I've got a lot of them though, if you'd like to hear some.

If that's the case, Disney is in a whole heap of trouble, which is bigger than what we thought.

All I'm saying, is that after 13 months, I don't think they're refurbing. I think this thread has turned into a fanboy's wet dream over what might be happening. The descent is done, with the exception of a few tweaks.

Semantics!:lol::lol: They are doing SOMETHING in there...


(Second Bolded Point) Right...I think it's mostly tweaking the software and adding in a few screens. That can be tweaking too.

 

[jakeman]

Not even close! Like I've said before, Spaceship Earth will be continually enhanced for quite some time...

I think the bigger question is why are they still working on the descent (if they really are), a year later.

Indirect, but the meaning is the same.

Perhaps they are dating :zipit:

Sometimes going with your gut can be good. The gut is the number one source of Truthiness.

 

[mcjaco]

^ To which I don't really think any tweaks are going on either.

When the best anyone can come up with is, "the curtains appear to have been move" that's really quite lame.

I'm in agreement with everyone. The descent is boring, and not a great finale to the whole "show." But honestly, the videos should be keeping the attention of the riders, not the ambient stuff in the descent tunnel. I don't see any real reason why they'd even be messing with it at this point.

Heh!

Agreed. And why would they stop after 180 Top? It makes no sense.

So then why even put in "ambient stuff" as you say? When SSE opened in 12/07 there was NOTHING in the descent tunnel. Why add things (and waste $$$) if no one will look at them?

Then go with your gut, and I'll go with mine.

I'd hardly consider this a "stellar" refurb. I'd say it was an adequate refurb. A stellar refurb would have included upgrading the omnimover track.

Agreed. And why would they stop after 180 Top? It makes no sense.

Why'd they ever take away the moonscape at 180? Only WDI knows.

Then you're not talking Disney, you're talking Six Flags. I would never expect them to leave a blank canvas, so to speak.

As long as she keeps her hands off my SSE boyfriend, the Paperboy! :lol:
