Changes to Spaceship Earth Descent.

[Minthorne]

They are deltas and represent change. Sounds like a good answer, right?

I dream of a day when Spaceship Earth receives a worthy descent finale...

Aww.....I would like to see an update....but not its finale.

 

[aladdin2007]

at least we can now we can establish that I'm not completely full of crap...... Well.. not completely, anyway

never doubted here I just got impatient with waiting to see what they were doing. Do you think they are done now or there is still more?

 

[wdw71fan]

more is coming... won't be much grander then what we've seen.. but it beats black curtains.

Great!!, already impressed with what is seen in the video so far. Anything is better than what it was.

Wow, its looking better than it had been. The blue glow on the triangles is a start/improvement, def more of them, but yeah what is the representation exactly? Its weird. I think they were going for representing the outside tiles on spaceship earth probably.

And is this it? Or is there still more adding/tweaking to come like the old pepperghosts area. It looks like this is all the triangles will do is glow blue, was hoping for more but will take it. Has anyone noticed if they cleaned up all the trash yet laying overhead?

The trash was still there. In fact, it looks to be getting worse.

As much as I'm excited and hopeful for some actual work on the descent, at the same time, it doesn't make sense to me for them to actually add any scenes because the guest is looking at the computer screen the whole time. Why invest in surrounding scenes? Maybe it's possible they're just "cleaning up" the area? >>pessimistic<<

Maybe the screens can state "Don't look at this screen. Look up at the triangles people."

No worries. We can get Wall-E to come clean it up.

 

[EpcotFanForever]

I always thought the triangles represented fragments of time.....

Look more like fragments of wood to me.

Given the new theme of the decsent, I think it is more likely that she would clean it up.

So are the people at WDI finally trying to get funding to actually get the projectors under the triangles working?

Thanks for the video. There is indeed more triangles, new star fields and brighter "rocks" too.

I think one question has to be just what DO triangles represent!

Eh wasn't there a leaked photo of testing of projections on the triangles?

Just another 8 to 15 years.

 

[NoChesterHester]

Thank you for sharing. Improvements are welcome, even if they dot get us all the way there.

The narration grates on me - just wish they would fix the timing of the big reveal with "our Spaceship Earth." It was perfect before.

Nope. From what I know the projections were axed during the refurb. Hence the wooden triangles.

 

[Axle1986]

Are there anypictures of the current/before recent updates of descent set up with the wooden triangles etc with the lights on?

 

[gccgrad1996]

I must be completely blind, but I don't remember seeing any of those triangles on the ride when I last rode it in 2010. Are the new over the last two years?

They were there just not lit. Some are saying they added more recently but I cant figure out if its that or if they just werent noticed as much before because they were black against black curtains, and now it just seems like there are more because of the new blacklit blue glow. Speaking of which anyone notice any further tweaking this week?

 

[wdw71fan]

I due to run to Epcot this week.. I'll take a look and see how things are progressing

 

[marni1971]

There are more. Trust me. That's all I look at
