News 'Awesome Planet' coming to The Land pavilion

[trainplane3]

CMs sneak up behind you and put snow down the back of your shirt.

I'll raise you a better one:
CMs sneak up behind you holding a can of compressed air upside down. You get the cold and loud noise to double scare your victim guest!

This is fantastic.

I’m very glad that after years of neglect they’re finally updating video around the park. Mission Space, Living With the Land, Canada, this, and more... it’s all very good. The ROI is strong with this one.

Were there any "in-theater effects?"

There appears to be in theatre lighting effects.

Bunch of personal opinions to follow:

I can’t see myself ever missing Food Rocks. That show was the first glaring, unavoidable neon sign that EPCOT was hurtling towards the abyss. It was the first time I ever experienced a Disney attraction and wondered what the creators had been thinking.

Now Kitchen Kabaret - that’s a show worth missing!

I understand and appreciate folks pointing to Land as a last bastion of classic EPCOT. The downside is that (glances around nervously) I always found the Land one of the least interesting parts of classic EPCOT, with the exception of the long-gone Kitchen Kabaret. If you had told me I could only keep one Pavilion from classic EPCOT, The Land would have been my second-to-last choice (my last choice would have been Seas, which is also, ironically, largely intact).

I agree word for word. Except that I've always loved LwtT too. Second to least favourite ride indeed, but that says more about the quality of the other five rides.

I'm not going to waste my first showing on a phone screen. I'll wait to see this puppy as it's meant to be seen. You can only see it for the first time once. Can't wait!

I might make Land a day trip. LwtT, Soarin, eat, AP, LwtL again, then outside cover my eyes and hurry to the exit away from the disaster zone formerly known as EPCOT.

Is it digital (is assume) or did they keep the 70mm (doubtful) ?

Lighting, wind and scent. Very subtle.

You’d think it’s digital. I’ll ask.

The VO though. No offense to the narrator just not the right fit, IMO. Also, they could remove about half the dialog and I think the show would be much better.

 

[Rescue Ranger]

Is it odd that am very excited about this? I can't wait to see it!! And the fact it also has subtle effects is awesome!! Little things like this make me excited. What can I say? I'm happy when areas that usually get no attention get some needed love and attention.

When I visit in April for a couple weeks, I really want to experience, see and appreciate as much as I can and admire every little detail.

NOW if only we can get The Land balloons to start working again...!!

Symbiosis covered climate change. Circle of Life covered climate change.

So does this.

Ever wonder where the chili-dog effect in Stitch went? Now you know....

Please stay on topic (The Land theater) and keep this discussion here - not on the Politics and Social issues forum.

I saw this today and really liked it. Beautiful imagery, clever narrative and not so depressing as Circle of Life was. We were in the front row of the upper section and didn’t notice any wind or smells. The lower half seemed to get more wind.

They should have gotten David Attenborough to do it

Test track, mission space, and for now SSE are ip free as well

I always found it funny that SSE at a point was not IP free. Remember when you could see Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the cinema scene?

Funny , I just hear him doing his voice of when played Mr Peabody.

Is it Ty Burrell? I had no idea. I think it's a combination of inflections put on the wrong words and a drab montone delivery on others. It's all over the place. It works for the character Mr. Peabody. Not so much here. I guess I can't blame Ty, just an odd delivery. Poor directing? I would have preferred a Mike Rowe type or perhaps even Nathan Fillion. Or playing off the word "awesome" a more youthful delivery in someone like Sean William Scott, Ryan Renolds or Dee Bradly Baker.

Saw this as well as far and wide yesterday and couldn’t be more pleased. Another great update! Question... was I imagining things or did I see an attempt at a artificial storm cloud/wind column in the front upper-right if the theater? I could have sworn I caught the tail end of something made out of mist or fog but couldn’t be sure.

And 20K. And Star Wars...
