AstroOrbiter Refurb 2019

[George Lucas on a Bench]

We're going to build a third gate...and Mexico's going to pay for it.

If they bring back free tortillas, I'm good with it.

No, the APs are going to pay for it. Open your wallets.

For the love of all that is holy, please keep the 'Star Wars' stuff contained in it's own area now once 'SW:GE' opens please.

A great opportunity to clean out Tomorrowland of all the weaker elements ( Launch Bay ) and start afresh.
It's time.

If not already acknowledged in this thread, I believe Astro orbiter will be getting a permanent Star Wars overlay ala x-wings and tie fighters, potentially with something sexy like video comms in the cockpit. This, coupled with Star Tours and an overlay of Hyper Space Mountain, will help to calm some of the frustration over how difficult it will be to access Galaxys Edge.

Thanks for reviving a six year old rumor. That was going to happen before GE was conceived.

If they bring Hyperspace back for an extended stay I swear to god..

I guess you don't want to hear the rumor I just heard then....

Man with Chapek in charge, you could tell me Matterhorn was being reskinned to Frozen and I would believe it.

So the love affair between you two continues I see....

Jim Hill said a few months back that if Frozen 2 is successful, than the Motorboat Cruise dock would be turned into Arendelle and Elsa's castle would be put on that side of the Matterhorn.

I don't believe it for a sec- but that rumor is out there

Shoot I would believe it. I thought Mission Breakout was a joke at first Look who's laughing now $$$

 

[Model3 McQueen]

Seasons of the Force was ridiculous. Hyperspace stayed for nearly 2 years and I was worried the original wouldn't come back.

I was okay with Hyperspace the first time I rode it, but then it went on.. and on.. and on..

I'd like to think that if there's anything that's sacred inside Disneyland, it's the Matterhorn, and management/Imagineering would be smart enough to not slap an ice castle on it.

Isn't it still a joke?

You would think but these are the same people that came up with Pixar Pier

Isn't it still a joke?

Speak of the devil

 

[Phroobar]

Mission Cashout is more than a joke, it's a slap in the face. It's the modern equivalent of DCA 1.0 in terms of offensiveness.

Of course the original ToT at DCA was no beauty queen. It was pretty plain and cheap looking compared to DHS and Disney Sea versions. Just look at Paris if you've forgotten already.

Speak of the devil

First impression after watching this -

Elsa is being turned into the next Marvel 'superhero'.
Totally getting that vibe from the opening sequence.

Oy vey....


Now the Marvel 'infestation' is crossing over into other territories.
'Synergy'...!

So....Astro Orbitor.

I saw somewhere recently a photograph of what looked to be the entire upper structure of the spinner removed.
As if it's 'gone' and there is now a big space above the construction walls as in the days of yore.

When i saw this picture, it was a dark shot and i could'nt tell if someone has just 'Photoshopped' the top half of the ride out for humourous purposes ( or wishful thinking ) but i'm surprised nobody has posted a photo of it's current condition.

Can anyone confirm if the top half is indeed now removed...?

Seems like a really thorough refurb if that is the case.

Yup, they tore it apart and are now rebuilding it.
