Doesn't matter how many people it is, Disney is in the hospitality business, they shouldn't jerk anyone around. If they started installing something else in there right away, or shut the lights off to save a little money, that would be one thing. If this was when they were intending to close it all along, it also wouldn't have hurt to put that date out there so people would know when they had to see it by.
COURTESY > EFFICIENCY

Furthering the mystery, I just checked the operating calendar for the exhibit within our Cast site, and it says it is still open, 9 AM - 9 PM every day. I do wonder how accurate that is, though, it does say it is operating as far in the future as the calendar goes, which is currently April.

THANK YOU! That is why I posted this freaking thread in the first place. There is no reason that an exhibit/attraction that is on the Times Guide as OPEN from 9-9 be closed at 10:30am when I go by there. It's not like Test Track which can go 101 every 30 minutes. :lol: I can understand if someone puked in there that they would close it for a little but but this random "closed-open-closed-open" bullcarp is just......bullcarp.

Every thirty minutes? I think your giving Test Track too much credit! :lol:

I'm just trying to envision what would cause a gallery to go 101... Many, many protein spills? :shrug: :lol:

While the closure is a downgrade, it rates about a (-3) on a scale of (-10) to (10).

On the other hand, last year's removal of the Wand was an upgrade of about (8.5).

Net upgrade: (5.5) on a scale of (-10) to (10).

That's *slightly* good then...It's supposed to be open.

I have a feeling, unfortunately, that it is closed for good. I think with the Times Guide and the schedule on the Hub, it's just the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing, as is so often the case with this company.

I've gotta say, I'm disappointed if it is closed. We missed being at the 25th Celebration by leaving two weeks before it happened. We've not been back since but will be there a week from tomorrow. I've been looking forward to seeing it. Alas, it looks as if I will only get to see the doors. :cry:
