YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH! DON'T MAKE ME "THANOS SNAP!"

I mean, the other major processor company is Intel, who just so happens to also make the drones that they used for the Disney Springs show. That's a sponsorship that would make sense if they're using drones for the new nighttime show.

There's also mobile processors, like Qualcomm or ARM....

well that a step in fixing the ending... shut those things off

But...But... How would you know that your dog, whom you left alone whilst vacationing under the ocean, will be perfectly fine?!?

I wonder if there is truth to the rumor that his face was damaged and that is why he was turned around? There doesn't seem to be a stylistic reason for it.

Well, if it's true that they are removing Space Mountain's speedramp because it is cheaper and easier, then this would be the cheaper and easier route for TDO as well. Maintenance is hard. And expensive. Just turn things and make sure (most of) the lights stay on.

lol

It's a risk I'm willing to take

Clickbait has decided that 328 replies and almost a full month of discussion is too good to pass up on as his own rumor now, lol. Desperate

Noticed that too?

I guess he probably has some sources but sometimes the timing is questionable.

not really an reason, but one answer none the less, this was brought up in the Spaceship In Spaceship Earth thread:

I know this is a very old question (yes, i've been slowly reading this whole thread for days) and I actually have an answer regarding the paperboy.

Bob Zalk was a guest speaker on one of the DCL cruises I took last year. He was actually involved in the 2007 refurb (gave a lot of cool info and tidbits about the inspiration behind every animatronic's clothing, stuff like that) and at the end of the session took questions.

I had wondered about that paperboy for years, mostly because he used to frighten me as a kid. So I asked Bob why he was turned around, and he chuckled and said it was because "the paperboy was very very annoying".

He also mentioned the animated horses were taken out of the Rome scene because they were too cartoony, in case anyone ever wondered about that too.

This thread is amazing. I've worked at WDW and UO, and I just love backstage photos and the history behind rides. I've managed to do track walks in a lot of attractions. Knowing those space station structures were still there, but painted black, gives me chills. Kind of like the hidden Dementors in Forbidden Journey over at UO. Just knowing something is there and so close but i can't see it.

I have often wondered what used to be in that descent hallway that looks to be full of garbage and dust. I was 5 the first time we went to Epcot, so I don't remember everything.

Thank you all for this, I enjoyed it immensely <3

Disney is proud to bring this change not to capitalize on the popularity of Dr. Strange but because this is what makes the most sense for the ride and this is what Walt would have wanted.

What walt would have wanted, and a young peter quil actually asked him once.

I heard it was going to be a John Carter themed ride

You had to bring up John Carter. Sigh. That film deserved so much more love than it was given. It wasn't perfect, but the source material was golden for a killer series of films.

I’m shocked people still follow him and his buddy “Mr. Blocks-a-lot”.

In all fairness, Josh used to have the best free crowd calendars. Now he wants you to buy the book; for obvious reasons.

His blogs are still a good read and chock full of rope drop strategies. I just wish he wasn’t so joined at the hip with Tom.

Josh is clever. Tommy, not so much.

Someone should start a failed Walt Disney Pictures franchise starter thread...John Carter, Prince of Persia, Sorcerer's Apprentice.... lol

Tomorrowland was the most disappointing one.

I’m not sure we’re talking about the same guy.

Josh is from the banned “easy” site.
He and Corless are besties.

Today on Spaceship Earth.

My favorite was when I went on about a month ago and the Earth projection was out. I tried to take a picture, but all the came out was blackness.

Tomorrowland while not perfect is severely underrated.
