Eventually, yes. As for timelines I have no clue. I’m aware there is a current desire for refreshed shows at SSE and Imagination. Others (I say others when I really just mean Moth lol) have corroborated that they want these both done by EPCOT 50. I have not personally heard that from anyone I...

The SSE project was shelved four years ago. Essentially the entire project team was laid off during COVID (some were later invited back). Their public announcement of it being delayed was nothing more than damage control at a momentary time where they thought they might revisit it. Future work...

Removed during the lobby renovations from JII to JIYI. The idea was the down escalator would feed into Magic Eye. Closing the second floor meant no need for a down escalator, which meant no need for a walkway to Magic Eye.

You can see it without using flash, but taking a photo is a different story. Even doing a long exposure there yields a less than optimal image

This was to demolish two of the soundproof walls in the Body Wars pits. For whatever reason they left the third one intact.

It depends on what you mean by that, technically yes it could all be hollowed out into one awkwardly shaped show building. There are corridors, stairwells, elevators, pathways of some type connecting all of them together in some form or another. That said, it basically is four buildings duct...

WoL is an extremely difficult building to work with, hence why so many plans for the space have all fallen through and the one to get furthest along only used the dome area. The idea of it ever housing a major attraction again is nothing more than a daydream at this point. If they don’t figure...

Yes. There is nothing left in the building to archive. Anything that was not taken by the archives in 2019 was destroyed (ironically including a sign that was supposed to be archived). About that...

This thread is back? Feels like a proper opportunity to ask - does anyone know if the lobby windows were uncovered once Mickey left? The Magic Eye lobby is one of my favorite little quiet areas in the whole park and it broke my heart to see it ruined when Mickey came in.

I feel like the only reason people are inherently against an Inside Out film going into Magic Eye is because of the fear that a successful Magic Eye film could somehow dictate the theme of the whole pavilion again. I don't think Disney is that stupid, they know the next attraction has to be done...

I’m not sure any reputable source has specifically said Magic Eye outside of speculation, but yeah, that would make the most sense so hopefully 🤞

The craziest part is that this thread was started to discuss one defunct portion of the descent, and now all these years later we’re talking about different defunct portions of the descent that were still part of the ride when the thread was started!

The main ones from that scene are behind curtains, but the ones at the upper right (in front of the pepper’s ghost effects which are also behind curtains) are visible yes.

(Rushing in to be part of this) I also got evac’d off of SSE today!! I got a picture of uhhhh, this! 😂 The only thing to be removed in the descent since 2008 is the fiber optic city’s canopy. All of the 94 vignettes are still intact behind the curtain, the lady is just the only one you can...

I believe this is the only one to surface publicly, but I can confirm the rest of them are still back there. This is the set of the mom video calling her kid. For comparison:

You won't find much for comparing most of the abandoned descent sets, as they're all behind curtains and a photo of the curtains would basically just be a black square. Here's a comparison of the city set as it is today and how it was in 1994 (courtesy of Martin), though. The fiber optic canopy...

Entirely unrelated.

You'd be surprised haha, it was over $100M

If it's any consolation, I tried over the last few days of TT 2.0's operation to gauge how feasible it would be to get clean live recordings of this music. The speakers were all high in the ceiling and there was never a time when these areas were empty. Even at closing the clearing team made...

I mean, technically they could do that without the second floor. The roller coaster drops were still built, you just go down them slowly now. I have to imagine they could find a way to make them work with modern technology.
