Yeah, I grabbed a few.

I like em'...(But I wish they would've switched to just a better non-CG picture of Forbidden Mountain, maybe at sunset.)

Yeah, kinda like EPCOT's SSE LIVE shot.

Dec of 06, actually.... I saw it. Maybe it was a Soft Opening?:lol:

bird on a stick...seriously?

It's the dumbest effect I've ever seen out of WDI and they brought it back? :brick:

Am I the only one not seeing the bird on a stick in that photo?

Edit: Nevermind, I'm an idiot.

No, you're not.

I didn't see it at first either. :lol:

the steam was for sure working when i was down there from january 09-may 09...soooo when did i miss it being down?lol

 

[TubaGeek]

I prefer it without the bird-on-a-stick...

Its one of those effects thats more off then it is on. :lol: Good to see its working though, and the bird on a stick? Meh... don't really care either way. :shrug:

Eh, not sure how I feel about the Bird-kabob. It's a little hokey, but the first track switch is a little uneventful without it. Kinda glad it's back, I guess.

And its an effect nonetheless. One of the small things that can add up to even bigger things concerning the mt.

 

[NiarrNDisney]

All together now "YAY" :sohappy:


Thanks for the Photos!

 

[jt04]

Thank Joe!

 

[WDW1974]

Thank Joe!

No.

If it were Joe's work then everything would work.

This sounds like Kevin Lansberry decided steam and bird on a stick would distract fanbois from the fact the biggest part of the attraction -- the YETI -- is permanently playing Dancing Queen like he's at Studio 54 in 1977.

Now we know where the refurb budget for Space Mountain went.

Long live bird on a stick!

I heard this is only the first phase. Second phase will have the bird replaced with a stitch on a stick.
