I'm on the side that doesn't start the timer until ground is broken.

Yes, they had 15 separate construction projects going that when completed would make up the park we know as Epcot. Each of those projects were within their own specific time line. The park as a whole was not one construction team so using that comparison is like apples to oranges. A better...

Small world right.

I think I might have met you yesterday. I made the comment about the sky being perfect for the picture.

You are aware that this thread was created because Disney is currently in the process of fixing all of those issues, right?

Okay, but Orange, Blue, and soon to be Gold would like a word.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience but I need to correct a few things. A: The trains do not have heaters in the cars, only the cabs for defogging purposes so the heaters were definitely not on. It was probably hot and the AC couldn't keep up. B: The trains still have their full narrations, but...

Also Red is currently getting the AC treatment, so that is why it hasn't been out lately.

Speaking of which, Gold is currently in the paint booth as we speak. Also in regards to those covers, they generally don't fall on their own, but are unintentionally, or sometimes intentionally, pulled down by guests. With regards to putting them back up, and I know it doesn't have anything to...

The paint has been stripped off so it is at minimum getting repainted, not sure of anything else.

That's the thing. The water isn't coming from the air conditioning system, but from the humid air itself. The panel gets very cold, so when the doors open the water condenses and eventually starts dripping. Its no different than a pair of glasses fogging up after being inside when stepping...

The condenser is located under the side skirts, but the evaporator is above the panels in the cab. Condensation forming on the panels is quite common, and water does "leak" onto the seats. The most that a cast member can do is get a towel and try to wipe up as much as possible, and quite...

Probably due to weight. That would put a lot of extra mass above the center of gravity.

They are right, the A/C's on the trains struggle. Sometimes a unit isn't functioning at full capacity, and sometimes its just really hot and having the doors open constantly, especially on resorts, doesn't help. A good example is keeping all your windows and doors open on your house or apartment...

The A/C's are an ongoing project. It takes a lot of time to replace all the components, but is currently one of the primary projects alongside the paint.

The primary reason there are so many patched on the Epcot beam is because of the limestone base. The trains drip water from their A/C units and that water over time will wear away at the beam. If you look close at the beams while in the station you will notice specific points where patches are...

Riding on the Epcot beam makes it obvious about the differences. The MK lines cured in a controlled environment before being shipped, while the Epcot line was cured outside and placed. It isn't as straight or smooth as the MK line. The beams in the shop are actually curved upward because they...

Actually, more like a few months. The paint is fully redone, the bellows (things between the cars) are brand new, and every single A/C in the train has been replaced. Blue was the first one with the repaint, but didn't go through as much. Just got the paint and bellows. Every train is going to...
