All EPCOT Center, All the Time- Part II

Ah, too ture. :brick: Well, we know we won't be seeing his face until after the next refurb in about 10 years. :hammer:

... when Siemens kick in more money.:ROFLOL:

Oh dont forget the paperboy now facing a stupid wall. Or backdrop I should say. Whose bright idea was that Id like to know?

At least they got the voice right. He used to sound like a grown man in a little kids body. However, him facing the wall does look kind of creepy. The effect just does not work. It does not look like he is looking out into a street, it definitely looks as if he is starring and talking to a wall.

If my memory serves me he was missing for some time before the refurb, and even a short period after. There has to be some kind of issue with him.

Several AAs were updated after the attraction soft opened due to the shortened schedule. There is nothing wrong with him - indeed he does look over his shoulder towards the ride vehicles now and then. I agree the street effect dosn`t work though. The voice was a weird one - for Cronkite he also had a kids voice, then he suddenly reached puberty in 1994.

Yeah I always found that odd. The voice is right this time around, but he should be facing the audience instead of a wall... :brick:

When I rode it last week, I payed careful attention to the paperboy "scene". I think the major problem with the vignette is the lighting (or lack of) on "the wall".:shrug:

You must remember though...It's a journey through Time...:lol:

And the fact that no one is there...

Was he in the Iron's version?

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

Was he in the Iron's version?

Yes, with a deep voice.

 

[Jasonflz]

Yes, with a deep voice.

That's funny 'cause I don't remember a paperboy. I only remember the printing press scene.

Look up a ride vid...He's right next to the track.

Oh, now I see it.:lol:

Martin's right, he did hit puberty.

 

[GothMickey]

Oh, now I see it.:lol:

Martin's right, he did hit puberty.

That's why he faces the wall, to hide his acne. :lookaroun

 

[mcjaco]

Yes, with a deep voice.

Was it really that low, or do I forever have "Extra, Extra! Read all about it!" etched in my memory in a high pitched voice?

 

[HMF]

Ah, too ture. :brick: Well, we know we won't be seeing his face until after the next refurb in about 10 years. :hammer:

Assuming he will still be there.:animwink:

 

[Jasonflz]

:hurl: Ew.:lol:

That's not the only thing he's hiding.

It was odd. Like a 20 Y/O.:shrug:

Yeah, there's plenty of stuff that doesn't live up to its potential, but I am honestly EMBARASSED every time I have to watch the preshow to Honey, I Shrunk The Audience.
Everything else is at least presentable!

That atrocity does not even deserve the label of being a "pre-show." I haven't stepped foot in Imagination in about five years now because of that awful piece of trash.

I still enjoy the ride...even though I know it could be better..
