Well, its been getting slightly better, though yes, there are stll a number of things that need to be addressed. It certainly has been a strange refurb, one and half years and counting now.:hammer:

Yeah, I forget this is a SLOW MOVING trip through time. :lol: As long as we don't progress backwards I guess I'm good (though the current descent has been, IMHO, a rather large step backwards.

Very true! At least it gives you enough time to look around and say "Hey!!! Was that triangle up last time I was on here?"

Well....Tomorrow's Young Park Visitor
lookaroun:lol might get a quicker future.Exactly what I did in Aug.:lol:
There are certain things about it that I just don't understand. Beides the Narration and Descent which I have talked about' I really don't follow the logic of Removing the Roman Chariot projection' Covering the statue' Having the Paper Boy looking away from us' Having a Ticket Woman reading on the job and of course having a go-go dancer work on a mainframe computer.:lol:

I'd have to go with the removal of the paperboy and his speaking lines...
If we can get Tomorrow's Child back (still waiting on that glorious confirmation), we can surely get back the Paperboy saying, "Extra! Extra! New York Daily!"
In my version ' we get rid of the paperboy altogether.I'd have to go with the removal of the paperboy and his speaking lines...

The Paperboy is back Jenn. He is turned around facing the wall saying "Extra! Extra! Civil War Over!" but he is there! :wave:

He actually SAYS something now?!
When I was there in January, he was in the back corner of the set, but had no dialogue.

Sorry Jenn, I thought you knew. I would have told you sooner.

I feel elated and cheated at the same time...
So, what's his voice like? Back to the age appropriate "Extra! Extra!" days, or the most recent 40 year old smoker voice?

Yep, Yep, Yep! I think I noticed him speaking in July, but it might've been May. You have to listen close to hear him though.

Yes, as Servo said, the paperboy does indeed speak again. Albeit he's yelling at the wall, but he is shouting his "Extra, extra!" bit.
And I agree, the removal of the chariot from Rome makes you scratch your head. Honestly, the thing had been there since 1982 (right?); it couldn't have been THAT hard to keep up and running. :shrug:

I think it suits him a lot better than the last voice.

It WAS running when SSE opened, and WAS NOT removed (You can still see the Projection Booth on the other side) but after a few months of operating with it, the decision came from on high to turn it off. At least they TRIED to keep it.

True, it was there during the inital opening. Just don't get why it was turned off. Was it a rather small thing? Sure, but that's what makes it more puzzling. Why get rid of such a little thing that added quite a bit to the Roman scene? :veryconfu :shrug:
