You can absolutely see the blacked-out spaceship without flash - it's more about knowing where and when to look. As you start to descend, Judi Dench's voiceover has come back on, and she says, "...and now, it's your turn" and the screen lights back up. This is when you're surrounded by the...

Matt Ouimet, former President of the Disneyland Resort (and was in charge when the park were getting some much-needed TLC before Disneyland's 50th), posted a really lovely tribute to Al recently on his Linkedin.

"Boy, it sure is dark in here..."

I visited the attraction a few days ago, and I didn't have the heart to photograph or record, but the AAs have seen better days. Sound lab Figment looked like he broke his neck and was staring down at the floor as he bobbed up and down. Closed labs Figment has improved a bit and has gone back to...

I can't speak for the rest of the US, but I've been told that the people of Hawaii are generally not fond of Lilo due to her behavior in the film. Lilo is a child processing trauma and acting out, which isn't unnatural, but was off-putting to some viewers of the film...which ultimately led to...

The Muppets aren't going to take over the Imagination Pavilion. At this point, the Dreamfinder has a far better chance at returning when the overhaul happens. Disney isn't investing millions towards a film about Figment and the Muppets. Seth Rogen heard fans loud and clear on the day of the...

When theme park creators come up with new tech, they like to implement it in more than one place. I wouldn't give up just yet. Imageworks, to my understanding, was moved downstairs because post-closure a significant portion of upstairs was not compliant with updated OSHA standards. With funding...

I don't know how much the actors leaving were being paid, but I remember looking at two job postings for female performers for the Starcruiser and Disney was only going to be paying $19/hr. For what these performers have to do and for how many hours the experience runs, that's way too low...

WIR is past its relevancy and the sequel didn't get the box office numbers Disney wanted. They need a new concept that isn't based on a flavor of the week. Call me crazy, but I'd love to see an updated use of Circlevision technology, where the floor and the ceiling change, too. You could...

If only the deal with MetLife hadn't fallen through because of employee healthcare plans. Not anyone that ultimately gets to decide whether a project gets funding or not. For now, plan B is keeping it closed. 9. Turnover/changes in leadership and staff 10. Wait, how much is this costing? 11...

Imagineering didn't design Swolphin and it's unlikely that they were ever asked how they felt about how it would affect sightlines. Eisner was excited to hire a special designer outside of the company, while Disney had a separate project team figuring out how to build a bunch of new hotels on...

I go fairly regularly and I always hear it clunking, so much so that it doesn't worry me as much anymore - when I hear a much louder clunk, my husband and I will look at each other like :oops:

When would Disney submit something like that as a pre-cursor to Jingle Cruise?

I don't know for certain, but I've seen these walls come down intermittently depending on what festival is going on for the past few years...it seems like they're only down if the festival booth back there is used. I understand not wanting to confuse guests with an unused building, but then...

^The only thing I get excited to look at during the descent! I want more *space* in Spaceship Earth <3

I'm going to have to assume that you have no idea what sorts of materials theme parks use to build things like this...the construction is significantly more complicated an still requires things such as steel structures. Plumbing. Artistically shaping concrete, painting it to last outdoors in the...

I wish things were progressing faster myself, but something that I don't see get mentioned enough on these boards is the fact that prices on materials have skyrocketed higher since they were pre-COVID (let alone their availability.) There's a reason why so many homes are under construction now...

Based simply off of how expensive the barges were, I wouldn't expect them to disappear.

I love Billy Barty's voice, but I think they're going to want to find an actor that's alive that can do press and media for a while to promote the film and any franchising that will come from it. Technology only gets better as time progresses, and I'm sure Disney has some ideas for what they'd...
