disappointing..

I thought the pavilion loops for Land and Seas were removed a while back for the Spotify playlist. Are they still lumped in with the rest of Celebration?

false alarm?

the 2 points circled in red show the last known location of the track before it passes through the wall to the left of the frame. Considering the track only enters/exits the gravity building in 1 corner, there's only one possible perspective that the photo could have been taken from.

has anyone checked the second level?

The dancing natives and the ambushing natives are across the water from each other, meaning there's either a 3rd scene they're not showing us or they're leaving the stretch of river between the boat and Schweitzer Falls blank..

I've had good luck watching it from the Grand Floridian-Magic Kingdom walkway (right by the new boat launch), few people and a clean view

looks like the tarps have come down

If im not mistaken, the original ribs used some plywood-esque material as a base. Is it possible that they've just taken the wall composition for that siding and turned it 90°?

I'm talking about this one, it shows a track switch prior to the launch, and no switch after the breakrun, meaning there's most likely a switch in the gravity building.

The cars rotate, the bases don't. According to Marni's drawing there's at least one dead end track switch in the UOE building. Looking at the bases it seems like there's a specific "front" orientation that they should be in at dispatch. While it'd be cool to load in the front car and unload in...

It certainly looks like it, but it's in a really odd position. My guess is that it's a sort of "fakeout" lift that helps serve as the 2nd track switch.

I decided to have a go at roughly tracing the layout we saw from the pic (using the structural framing on the side of the building as a size reference) and filling in the blanks. Inside the orange box is the "confirmed" layout, the rest is pure speculation based on other similar Vekomas.

If only there were some kind of interactive experience center located in say... a shopping and dining district.

going back a few years in my gallery..
