after riding SSE today i am convinced there is no way they're done.

i looked around the entire decent and the celing is not even covered at all. just metal grates with bits of cardboard resting on them. the walls are all still covered with black curtains with random holes in them to portray stars and the triangles are barely lit up anymore if ever.

there has to be a bigger plan for the ride than a video with a cut out of your face put in the place of bodies. cool? ya it's but that video does not last the whole decent so i'm sure they're adding more. when is the question.
with the monsters inc ride put on the backburner for now and disney just focusing on refurbing most it's rides the answer is hopefully soon. probably not till past teh flower and garden show though

I agree, I mean it's Disney we're talking about! I know in the past they've given us quite a bit to complain about, but it's never been to the extent of the SSE refurb. In it's current condition, the descent is a pile of junk with a touch screen. I cannot believe Disney will allow the attraction to look like this much longer.

Imagination. That was going strong with some insider support but it seems as if momentum, at least here on the site, has slowed down to nothing.

Almost nothing. Sadly. For now.

Maybe it`s the packing from the LED Projectors :D

Plus the whole no bulb replacement is always a plus.

Tell me about it; I just kitted out a whole nightclub - 4 dancefloors - with LED units. No more bulbs to change, no melting bulbholders, no fans burning out etc. etc. etc.....

LEDs are win-win for everyone. Yes they may cost more, but you'll make that up easily with the little to no maintenance they require.

Ohh for what company Martin? Have you seen any of the clubs owned by Luminar (branded as Liquid, Envy among others)? They are using similar technology in a number of them.

Since you're saying that, Martin, does that mean that some kind of LED lighting/projection is planned for SSE, more so than we already have seen? :lookaroun If thats the case, that would be awesome; I love anything LED. :D

And I too must praise your avatar, SirNim. :wave:

Spent the day at Epcot yesterday

noticed some things...

The Video on Soarin' looks like it's been cleaned...although it's still not the HD video that i've been hoping for, it's very nice to not see dust all over the film...esp on the skiing scene where huge black spots really stood out.

(it's been a month since I've been to Epcot) noticed the bathrooms next to the Art of Disney Store are freshly remodeled....verrrrrry niiiiiice...... :cool:

They need to finish painting UoE. :dazzle:

Ceiling tiles in Wonders of Life don't look so good...lots of crackage and turning colors going on...though we couldn't decide if it was masking tape or true discoloring...

Living with the Land has alot of new vegetation growing in the greenhouses...it's nice that they mix those up. I'm guessing new vegetation for the Spring Growing Season?

Curtains on the SSE decent were alittle messed up on the right side...after you pass under the LED lights hanging from the ceiling you could see a computer and some lights set up on a desk...the computer screen was on...though it really didn't look like it was a prop...more like a 3rd shift workstation for some Imagineering tweeking??? dunno...didn't have my camera out tho...sorry guys! Anyone else notice that?

btw...the highschoolers behind us that kept commenting on how lame the ride and trying to touch the AAs almost had a couple Flower and Garden Festival guides thrown at their faces in a Frisbie-like-style...
