I was there last week and noticed them too around the lazy river. They are clearly not complete as not all the poles had lights attached and their were markers in spots where they were still adding poles. Judging from the level of theming this is most liekly an Ops decision/design with little...

One of the best and truest quotes I've seen on these boards in over ten years...... What makes it even better is the Syndrome line from The Incredidble, a Disney/Pixar film - "When everyone is special, no one is"..... Think about that for a while....

I was there yesterday and spent almost 30 minutes with my wife on the wall surrounding the train watching all the genuinely happy guests. The circus train goes through an approximate 10-15 minute cycle where the water and sounds get more and more intense. It appears that the story is the...

My wife and I were at Epcot yesterday and "tested" Germany, Japan, France, and UK. It is a lot of the same effects with all new dialogue. Germany and France definitely had new effects added. Their were two Imagineers who spent most of the day in France watching guests play paying particular...

There were several Jungle Cruise AA's, an Elephant and 2 Hippos, back in the shops going through long term testing when I took the Backstage Magic tour in early December. They looked brand new, but not in any poses that would suggest a new or updated show scene. Perhaps just replacements for a...

I posted my opinion on what I thought was done. I asked a question for someone to confirm or deny what was my opinion. I still have yet to hear a definitive answer. So, I will continue to bump thread.

Thank you for your very unbiased post! I too believe that it may only a restored film version, not a true digital presentation, but do not want to jump to conclusions. My fear is that if enough people believe it is a true digital 3D presentation, some executive somewhere may use this as...

Just looking for a confirmation, not an argument. There has always been two projectors in the rear of the theater for the original film presentation. Digital 3D, for as much as I know, only requires a single projector. There are still two in operation, easy to see if you turn around during...

That is what I thought. So, can anyone either confirm or deny the presence of new digital 3D projectors in Muppet Vision 3D?? It is my belief that the same film version is being shown on cleaned up film projectors. Please, someone, prove me wrong!! I will keep bumping this thread until I get...

As I stated above, I saw the opening show after the refurb. The image was definately clearer and brighter, but this could be from new bulbs and a "cleaned" optics path in the old projectors. My understanding of digital 3D films is that they only requires a single projector. I clearly saw 2...

I happened to catch the first showing of the day when it reopened and I have a few comments that I thought I would share. Some are repeats, just adding my 2 cents. 1. Pre-show video is very noticeably "digitized". Lots of compression artifacts. I'm guessing this is due to the age of the...

Why does this have to be considered the "5th gate" as most seem to want to label it as?? Why can't it be its own unique experience such as TL, BB, the initial incarnation of PI, WWoS, or Richard Pettys Driving Experience???? None of these take away from the 4 true gates, they only enhance a...

Would you rather there were absolutely no previews of any shows prior to official openings?!?!?! You again are judging an attraction based on a 3 minute video clip during an unannounced preview. Were you there?? Did you attempt to interact with the animatronic?? Do you even know if...

I'm not here to get in a war of words, I've been a member for 8 years and as can be gotten from my number of posts, I stay on the outside of most discussions. However, please take note of what you are trying to compare here. Count the number of individual movements bird and robot have...

Speak for yourself. Your posts are getting quite predictable, nothing is ever good enough. Its one thing to comment, but to constantly criticize......:veryconfu

Great, then whats everyone complaining about?!?! We will be getting a brand new park that will be super themed with a very personal experience! If you can afford it, go, if you can't, just wait for the inevitable discounts!! Can we quit the complaining now and start looking forward to...

This park needs to be built with money. If the park does not exist, it does not make money, so where do these funds come from?? Profits from other areas in the company. This is not a bad thing if the other "affordable" parks do not suffer from a lack of new attractions during this timeframe...

You better believe I will be the first to resurrect this thread as soon as the Contemporary DVC is announced and that the model rooms are right next to the AKL villa model rooms!! There was more shared with me by the CM that I choose not to post out of respect for them. I can only imagine...

I guess I should clarify that what I saw behind the "secret door" was a hallway that was styled as the new resort will look. I have no doubt in my mind that it was for the new Contemporary DVC. There were two doors in the hallway that looked exactly like room doors with key card locks and room...

Not sure why you would expect this to be deleted, just reporting what I saw, no illegal action was taken. A simple mistake of opening an unmarked door. And of what I was told, it is simply a rumor, nothing more. Oh well. On a side note, apparently there are three DVC kiosks that will...
