WOW! I wonder if there will be a spur line to their new WS pavilion?:lookaroun

The original JII has nothing on HM:brick:... It was Epcot's IASW, only 97% less annoying!! Best show scene(And almost eerie!): "What about science, science, science??"

Nowadays Figment is as annoying as Snarf from the ThunderCats.

 

[aladdin2007]

The reason why it was changed had nothing to do with the incredible quality of the attraction, it was in the contract with every Epcot sponsor that there had to be a large change for each pavilion every 10 years or so. That and how the opening scene had constant technical problems.

So um its time again now for another big change right?!! Been ten years. :wave:

Current version's only been around for 7 years and it was probably enough of a drastic change to not be counted as the same as the craptacular 2000 version, but yeah the time is a coming.

Eh, Figment has every right to troll Eric Idle for seven minutes after the JIYI fiasco.

No, it just stated by 2000.

Otherwise, 1993 would have seen JII 2.0.

I like this line of thought.:lookaroun

They changed the 3D movie. That apparently counts as a good sized change for the pavilion

Captain EO Closed in July of 94. HISTA opened in late 95 and was packaged with RTM/25.


It works, though.

Why aren't any WS expansion pads used for large rides for the existing countries?

Well because in essence those are reserved for future pavilions, however if there isnt going to be any ever added, its been over twenty years now, they could certainly use them for that. Some of the current countries have further expansion space behind them such as Italy.

Because it would make the country in question HUGE.:lol:

I could see Germany conquering a pad. Wouldn't be out of the ordinary.

:ROFLOL: Maybe that's why France was placed on the other side of the park.

WOW!! It took 15 pages for me to tell you that I have a "friend" who's a "bus driver", and I can tell you for a fact there are NO plans for a Brazil pavilion. This "friend" is clueless how this rumor even got started, due to the fact he is aware of the majority of the plans in the "bus drivers break room."

Trust me.

 

[_Scar]

Bus Drivers know all.
