The planets spun again for a short period after the 2004 refurb. However, they did not spin after the 2014 refurb. My understanding was that during the 2014 the spinning hardware was removed and the planets were made permanently stationary.
Fair enough. I remember hearing about issues with them but couldn't recall when they last spun. Thanks for the info.

Being closed for 6-7 months...Figuring they count the end of August as "Summer 2025" that is not enough time to do much other then some routine maintenance... If this were going to involve new lighting or any other plussing they would have already had a huge press release, and a 30 minute program with interviews of the Imagineers involved, showing their field trips to NASA and into Outer Space on SpaceX for research... With this amount of time, expect new seatbelts and a cleaning. Take THAT Epic Universe! lol
