How many rumors in this thread????
Has anybody here been counting all the flase rumors in this thread (not the sarcastic ones). I lost count.
The SSE sphere cannot support a coaster with much of any force at all, so...no coaster. The monorail expansion would cost hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars so, not likely. SIEMENS put in a LARGE ammount of money into sponsoring SSE and RoE and they will probably get just about anything they want to when it comes to these two attractions. It is rumored that SIEMENS wants the wand down, and as stated above, they will probably get their wish. And NO, the wand is NOT in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM attached to the SSE Sphere physically (look at any picture of the sphere), so the wand could come down without any major construction to the sphere besides the removal of the small stars which could be done in under a week, although the removal of the wand's structure would take longer. The "5th Gate" addition isn't likely for another 10-20 years as the current parks (ecspecially AK and MGM) need expansion and improvement. Chances are the main changes that we will see at EPCOT is a small refurb of SSE as the lighting is already seeming better, maybe even a greater,more detailed "space" scene. Another rumor(maybe a fact by now) is the new Illuminations: Sky Dancer show.

Or do you even know what the wand is?? It is the big steel-supported structure that hangs above the SSE sphere. Are you thinking of something else or what? Disney and the CMs don't even really acknowledge(sp?) the wand's presence. And on top of that, Little Einsteins is a pre-schooler show that completely revolves around a fictional theme. EPCOT isn't even designed to be a park that "targets" its publicity towards pre-schoolers. A new sound system...the wand doesn't even have a sound system as is and isn't even considered an attraction. Technological upgrades...the structure is a Mickey hand holding a wand with flashing lights. It doesn't have much room for technological upgrades besides making the entire arm move which would waste way too much energy and would take about 5-10 months to upgrade, not 15 days. I have a feeling that you are coming up with the most random ideas and claiming that they are facts.:lookaroun
