As Hitler says, "They turned Figment into a little, annoying pr***.":brick:

*Prays that everyone remembers that Youtube video*
:ROFLOL: Yeah, I remember.


His voice is grating, his personality is different (Maybe it's all situational? Behavior is situational...Figment might be capable of Human Emotion and thought, it's subsequent Psychology?):lookaroun:lookaroun:lol:


But he is still Figgie.:o

I just bought my own set of retro blue EPCOT Center glass and shotglass, er, toothpick holder, tonight - they are beautiful in person!

I hadn't been over to the park in a couple weeks, so I needed to go see all of these great updates myself. I agree that the blue above Gateway Gifts should be a blue gradient, but it's a really nice rich blue. Love the railing around Fountain of Nations!

Park was fairly dead - got there at 5:30ish and Soarin' was 40 minutes and Test Track was 30 minutes - both still had FastPass available.

Sounds like a lovely evening. :o

Oh, whatever, we know you'll be downing shots one after the other with those 'toothpick holders'! :D :lol:

Aren't they gorgeous?

It's entirely possible that they're not done, that it'll be a process like Universe of Energy. Had they painted the sections inside the shop yet?

Love the railing around Fountain of Nations!

I never thought hand-railings could bring me so much satisfaction.

Is it sad that I haven't even thought about going on any rides, much less check wait times, my past couple of visits? :lookaroun

Not sad at all, I can't remember the last time I went on an attraction other than Spaceship Earth (which I rode tonight). I merely use the wait times as an indication of crowd level. Usually you'll find me walking around and taking photos. :)

The sections inside Gateway Gifts have not been painted yet, still the retro-pink color. I'm a little thankful, as I was able to snap some shots while picking up the glass and shotglass. As far as using the shotglass, I am apparently one of the few people in the world who detest the taste of anything alcoholic, so the only thing you'll find me sipping from that little glass is some lemonade - lol!

Thanks for the heads up about the glasses, it is most appreciated!

Oh yeah, that just reminded me I went on Spaceship Earth last time. I didn't remember because I spent almost the entire ride posting part of this update. :lookaroun

It really makes me wonder, as detail-oriented as I am, what else might be changing that I'm totally not noticing. I just about missed this new paint!

Slamming back the lemonade, oh yeah! :slurp: :lol:

My pleasure! The sheer excitement of finding such things is closely followed by the joy of coming here and sharing it with my fellow EPCOT lovers! :D

No, unfortunately we left around 8pm. I had to get home to do some stuff for work tomorrow - plus it was crazy humid. :)
Awww. :lol:


*can't fathom leaving EPCOT with out ROE...:o*

Even though, it's a VERY minute detail, I hope so. I would look MUCH better...

...And I hope they do it to the rest of the legs, too!:D
