Super happy that they’re doing official releases of their music now, but the actual attraction score not being here is a huge bummer. That’s gonna be the music people remember the most from this.

They’ve been gone from the column a very long time, but the signs themselves are still around and sitting in storage inside SSE.

CommuniCore was the only pavilion that used its icon on the marquee other than Horizons in its final five years. Half the pavilions had one or two secondary marquees that featured their icon. That still leaves nearly half that didn't. Even in the 80s they were predominantly used for wayfinding...

Oh much more. The WoM logo was everywhere in 2.0. Tons of signage in and around the building, the trash cans, signs on the ride, two giant ones on the hill climb, list goes on. I think 2.0 is likely the EPCOT attraction that featured a pavilion icon the most in the whole history of the park...

They were barely used in the pavilions originally too. Wonders didn’t use its icon at all. Horizons, SSE, etc. used their icons twice, maybe three times? The new Test Track I believe ties World of Motion for the amount of in-pavilion icon appearances.

Don't know that this counts considering it's not recent and it's still a step down from the original, but JII 3 added figures to JII 2 which had none

That doesn't pass the sniff test either. RNRC is still open, that refurb is going to take at least a few months, and they definitely have fresh props that need installed. Would take no more than a week between MuppetVision closing and whatever they wanted to recycle making it into RNRC, you...

It's entirely because they did not want to pay the operational costs for MV3D. Stage 1 demo could have easily been accomplished with MuppetVision still operational, there would have just been a different construction wall layout. Even if they couldn't demo Stage 1 while Muppets was open, that is...

I'm not sure why people are upset about a warehouse themed facade in a thematically appropriate land? DHS was still themed to and featured several visible soundstages 10 years ago. A lot of those show buildings are still visible, only now completely unthemed.

Anybody who gets caught up in discussing Figment's popularity at all as a serious conversation topic has lost the plot. If you make a good ride featuring good, marketable, lovable characters (which Dreamfinder and Figment absolutely are), you'll develop a following. You'll sell merchandise...

I think $17 was the budget for the last re-do of Imagination

There’s a lot to say here about GM paying for Test Track and it being what most of us wanted, etc. but I think a big point to make is that even a great Test Track is still a pretty bare bones thrill ride in comparison to the artistry that went into every scene of World of Motion. The Future...

Nobody buys a car at Test Track, but GM gets their product in front of millions of eyes and some of those people may be in the market for a vehicle or will be in the future. The sponsorship model worked exactly as it was designed to for me recently, I spent the last few years of TT 2.0’s life...

"What everyone wants" is just the original ride brought back. A new version of JII is almost certainly not going to be able to live up to that, so yeah, it probably will be. The bar is just very low right now, nearly anything would be an improvement over what's there now

It was 90 on a posted 120 at 9 AM, half the wait outside and half the wait inside. By 11 it was posted at 70 and the exterior queue they set up around the marquee was gone.
