Based solely on the video, there are 3 parts of the show that really thrilled me: 1. The 'drawing' effect, with a white outline of the entire castle drawn, followed by bright, multi-coloured 'crayon'-effect sections. My jaw hit the floor - the effect just doesn't look possible! 2. The effect...

I have a thought about this which I haven't seen addressed yet (but then I haven't read every post written on this subject). Firstly I just want to state that the following observation is NOT intended to place blame at the feet of the pilot of Monorail Pink - this is a legitimate wondering...

As far as I'm aware, the 'Muppet Vision 3D' tip board on the Sunset Boulevard junction still has the 3D crossed out and replaced with a 4D scribble. Don't think the main sign has ever had it crossed out though... Listen to me, first the 'Jim Henson' part and now this? I must be a Muppets sign...

Well after a little reading I think I just answered my own question! I suppose they must have removed the 'Jim Henson' sign after The Walt Disney Company's buyout of The Muppets in 2004... Could that also be why they have refurbished the balloon, to remove the 'Jim Henson' name? While I can...

Bit of a random thought, but does anyone know how long the green 'Jim Henson's' signage above the main 'MuppetVision 3D' sign has been gone? Was it taken down at the same time as the balloon, or has it been longer? I hope this is put back or replaced soon - I think it's a mistake for Disney...

This is thoroughly disappointing news - we'll be at the world for the first week of January '09, and our opportunities to watch one of our favourite shows at WDW will now be severely restricted. I hope more details about the reasoning behind this are given soon.

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me (perhaps from experience in past years), whether or not 'IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth' is likely to play with the Peace on Earth tag on December 31st 2008, before all the New Year's Eve hoopla later on? I ask because we arrive on...

I just wanna say - that is arguably the simplest yet most hilarious post I have ever read on WDWMagic. Thank you dandaman! :ROFLOL:

I don't think that ESPN banner is covering up a finished sign - look at the wood that's behind it, that really doesn't look like it'll be part of the new signage to me. From what I can see in the pictures, the banner seems to grip the archway tightly, leaving no room for a sign of any real depth...

One thing that irritates me slightly about the SSE area is that, after more than 25 years, the original 'Camera Center' and 'Gateway Gifts' signs are STILL in place, and don't seem to have been touched since they were installed. Now with the stunning new SSE signs, they look even more ancient...

So now it's MPPP - not quite sure about that abbreviation! :p Sounds a little funny to me!

That's a stunner! It captures that early-evening World Showcase atmosphere perfectly - I feel like I'm there!

There's a chance not even that will change, given that the planning videos/DVDs have always referred to the park as 'Disney Studios' due to legal reasons. Disney were never allowed to use the MGM name in certain promotional materials, I remember being told - obviously, with the name change...

Yep - Tom Welling plays Clark Kent/Superman in Smallville.

Just a random thought (I'm watching a great video of the 1994 version from Mousebits) - they were INSANE to ever get rid of the music, if you ask me, especially everything from just before the top section until the end of the finale. Granted, I haven't been able to ride the new version yet, but...

Damn, that thread title got me all excited for about a second! :(

Just one more response to the video (thanks to whoever put that up, btw). While I'm definitely not making my mind up until I ride the finished version, I have to reiterate some of the concerns already voiced by so many. Spaceship Earth had, in recent years, become one of my favourites...

Obviously all we have to go on is what you've actually told us about your friend, but with all due respect... THIS is your best friend? It seems to me that you didn't clash, rather your friend was incredibly rude, disrespectful, and arrogant. Quite frankly, if I was in your shoes, I wouldn't...

I definitely don't think they should get rid of the Backlot Tour - to me, it's the last thing that earns the park the right to bear the 'Studios' name. Granted, the park hasn't really been a studio of any kind for many years, but I think the Backlot Tour deserves to be updated rather than...
