My Thoughts on American Idol Experience I saw the very first show at noon today... here are my impressions (from someone who has never seen the TV show, outside of a few clips here and there): * I work in the TV business, so I was very impressed with the technology on display. It looks and...

PS- The paperboy still is facing away from you. Not sure how he can earn a living that way, considering he's not facing any passengers ;)

Hey WDWGuy, who's your buddy? I bet he's a really COOL guy!! Anyway, I also agree -- it's slightly better with the faces, and the video seemed longer. There were no silly trivia questions, and the video seemed to go nearly until the end of the ride. But, the screen didn't ask where I was...

I noticed some more improvements this past weekend when I rode during the Halloween party. There's more items floating behind the doom buggies in the Seance Room. Her old table and lamp now float amongst the musical instruments. They've also hung more of the "Sinister Eleven" portraits in the...

It appears that Bay 3 featuring the delicious pulled pork sandwich and grilled chicken caesar salad is no more. The bay looks deserted and the menu boards are now all blank. These items weren't moved to the other 2 bays either. Anyone know anything about what's going on here?

Just like to most guests, Mission Space is an improvement :p I find it ironic that fans of one dead attraction are bashing fans of another dead attraction... you'd think they'd band together as One Dead Attraction Nation. So does anyone believe Horizons was going to collapse upon itself...

I uncovered the epitaph on Mr. Toad's "headstone"... Here lies Mr. Toad, resting in this spot... He was replaced by Pooh, and his hunny pot.

I would definitely say the accident at Mission Space has affected popularity. I've been at Epcot several times since, during peak times when all other attractions have long lines, and not only have I walked right into the briefing rooms, but there have been 5 teams or less in the room. Even...

There are several local fireworks shows... the most popular being Red Hot and Boom in the Altamonte Springs area (about 5-10 miles east of downtown Orlando on I-4). Daytona Beach has a huge fireworks display after the Pepsi 400, and Cocoa Beach has fireworks on the 4th as well.

Splash Mountain- Got pulled off right towards the end where Brer Rabbit's house is. Lights came on, and a CM came to get us. We went out the emergency exit towards the end (saw a boat upside down... they are plain white with wheels!) and into the gift shop. Spaceship Earth- Broke down in...

Any idea as to why? They've made merchandise for much less popular attractions (Journey into Your Imagination, I'm looking in YOUR direction)...

Is there any? Does such a thing exist? I haven't seen any stands or carts inside or outside of the Land... plus Mouse Gear has nothing. Anyone have any luck or information? -Chris

I was on Mission Space last night and I swear the preshow was much louder than it has been in the past. Perhaps Disney cranked the audio up in an effort to get more people to pay attention to it?

The people who are using this as an attack on the ride itself because Horizons is gone disappoints me. This isn't 1982, and if nothing at Epcot changed, the boy wouldn't have died on Mission Space, but Epcot probably wouldn't be open because it was not making money 10 years ago when every ride...

The security camera doesn't offend me, as it's harmless a la the one at the start of the TTA. Definitely safety before show. I didn't realize that the camera was installed though... I thought the entire ride was under surveillance? Was I wrong?

An update is what this ride needs. Keep some of the scenes they have, maybe add just one new scene and update the video in the queue and at the end. The ride would make you think (with the exception of the Lion King and ID4 snippets at the end) that they stopped making movies in 1989...

I'd like to know how many people are slamming the idea are just doing so because they are resistant to any sort of change and have never been on the Haunted Mansion Holiday in California or Tokyo. If it were up to many of the people on these boards, we wouldn't have Test Track, Mission Space...

Cool! MGM desperately needed more quick service dining options, so this is nice. Thanks for the pics...

How bout this... get rid of grad nites. If they want to go to the parks, let them pay for it and go with their school, but if all they're going to do is trash the park (and ruin it for other guests by actually catering to the kids by closing early), why give them the privilege of having the...

Grizz, do you have details on the Universe of Energy, World of Motion or Imagination tributes?
