All Epcot, All the Time (aka Has Disney given up on SSE?)

It would be! Unfortunately, it turned out to be someone in a wheelchair or something. We began our slow moving journey shortly after we stopped. :brick:

You can usually tell which type of stop it is according to HOW the cars stop. If they ease down to a stop (especially if it was preceeded by creep-mode), it's just to load/unload a handicapped Guest.

But if it lurches to a stop very quickly (and you'll know it's a quick stop, there's a lot of clunking involved), it's an E-stop due to either a ride incursion or mechanical fault (or manual CM E-stop at load rather than the slow-to-a-stop button).

I've only ever been on the attraction once during an actual E-stop. It was years ago in the steepest part of the descent just out of 180top, just under the mid-air TV news screen before the classroom. A few minutes later a CM came past us very quickly heading up the stairs, so it was most likely a ride incursion. Five or ten minutes later we were moving again.

What is that usually caused by? Something hitting the tracks?

Triangles galore! Many more than there were in May...at least I think so.

You can also plainly see the "cave" ceiling from the Peppers Ghost scene and I think you can see the outline of the window too. Right Martin? I am not sure but it does seem possible that glitter City is still back there somewhere.

You can see it pretty easy in regular viewing too...:shrug:

I'm actually VERY interested in the cloths right now... hmm... hiding something? Lasers? Glitter City and/or mini-globe refurb? Stitch?

You shall never speak that word and SSE in the same sentence again!!! :fork: :lol:

LOL hopefully no stitch back there but, I got to thinking about those four glowing panels that hang there where the glitter city use to be. Certainly they must be planning to add more there and wouldnt it be perfect if the mini hanging SE model were brought back to hang right in the middle there with the panels behind it?
Maybe it is being refurbed and they are just waiting to add it. Altho my gut feeling is the thing has been trashed. :brick:

It would fit perfectly into the place where all of the triangles are pointing at something that doesn't exist now...

Glitter City would be fantasmic.


Hopefully the globe too.

Yes thats the spot!! Please Siemens bring the globe back and put it there, its so wasted space.

I hope so too.

I actually wouldn't mind a rendition of "Tomorrow's Child" by the angelic Disney Chorus. And those specific videos in the old decent have to go. They're... just... dated, I guess?? And I think that it would benefit everyone if they were done in some sort of timeless, futuristic way. If they can't help but "date" it, maybe it would be better to project the old "communication" on the screens... hmmm... how WILL they do it while pleasing the mass public & us?

Who said this would be exactly like 86?

Yes, yes globe too!!!

Yes, yes Siemens please do.

I thought that too...It might be just a theme. I would not. mind.:lol:

Im not so certain they will, per say, but lets hope they do. Anything has got to be better than the way it is now.

 

[Disneyson 1]

I dunno, just assumed... but when you assume...

But I'm guessing that if the triangles ARE screens (what else could they be? Well, they could move or something...) Then they would do something future-y with them. And if not, then I hope we have synchronized lighting on them or something. Sorry, got carried away with myself.

Hope it's still as colorful as the latter version.

Only thing they CAN be.

Well, they could make the triangles flash colors like an 80's club and play a techno/rave Tomorrow's Child remix....:lookaroun
