Yep; they were all re-installed with better versions in the last decade.

Oh, so they have updated them? Thats encouraging. But do they still work or are they now more for show?

Last I heard - which wasn`t very recent - they were working.

There are only several things wrong with this pin.

First: A Pin about Pin Trading in a Pin Trading Store... :lookaroun Really? I like the idea for a mini celebration on PT itself, but this?:lol:

Second: Tarps. This is a pin with the tarps on it. :lookaroun

Third: EPCOT Wand Logo?! Stitch??


/the most whiny post I ever made...but I needed too.:lol:

1. Pin about pin(s) - it happens. :lol:

2. In some cases, pins tend to display temporary &/or current things... :lookaroun

3. I like the EPCOT wand logo, but they could've place Figment there with a cute reference to Imagination...

2. Like your thinking.

3. That would have helped. Largely.:lol: EPCOT Script logo is actually from the 80's but the wand killed it for me.

Pic in sec.

Here, some wand related heppyness.

Ah, the fun days of Wand Watch 2007. What a fun summer.:lol:

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

EPCOTPluto...Here's the EPCOT Script Logo from the 80's. Mehtinks they modified it for the Wand.:wave:

Sorry for the quality....just twitpic'd it from my phone. :lol:

 

[hpyhnt 1000]

Last I heard - which wasn`t very recent - they were working.

Hopefully they still are then.

And a definite no to the pin about the pin trading in the pin hut. :dazzle:

A pin about pin trading at Pin Central.

Believe it or not, I don't think Pin Central is a jewel in the crown of Epcot. Then again, it's ok. Pin Central would be better if there weren't a gigantic diamond tarp network emanating from the top of it.

I was just a lurker then... Wish I posted! Very interesting.


I'd buy the pin if it weren't for the tarps.


Why include something that us on it's way out?

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

Why the hell does that little guy have to show up on everything?



It was warranted.

Thank you!

That, and the fact that it's clutter. I want it gone. Shove Pin Central in Mouse Gear. People will still buy pins, trust me.

That's how I felt 2002-2006ish.:lol:

And why? $$$$$ OCD Peeps that love pins and love Pin trading want pins that show that.:lookaroun:lol:

These wand destruction pics are reminding me to make my slideshow of the daily removal progress. I *promise* one day I will create it and post it. I organized all of the photos and can't believe that I actually went to Epcot every day and took those photos... truly a labor of love.

Would LOVE to see that!


Synch it to a awesome EPCOT track, your golden.

Yep, 4 different shots every day from roughly the same 4 different vantage points (two from each side). I had a system

I didn't think I had anything to put in this thread, but I guess I was wrong. My stuff's not terribly interesting though. My mom has all the good pics (me with Dreamfinder and all that joy) back at her house 4,000 miles away.

Me in 1986 (4 years old)

The next few are pictures I took in 1995 when I was 13. I wasn't THAT bad of a photographer for 13 years old with a film point and shoot! :lol:

My one and only photo from inside World of Motion LOL

Are there a bunch of cranes in this pic? What was being built in Feb 95?

Here's some pics I took in 1997

 

[EPCOTPluto]

Great pics, Laura!
