Epcot & MK Update with Photos - 9/17

[blackerbys17]

Hey everyone!

Napnet, I was there the same day, what a coinky-! Rode quite a few things I had never done before for whatever reason. The lines were almost non-existant, it was great! When I walked into Epcot on Sunday it was about 9:30 a.m. and the line for Soarin' said it was a 10 minute wait but it was actually a walk-on! That is the first and only time I have not had to use a fast-pass for Soarin', I was so happy (especially since it is my favorite ride!!!) Even better, I FINALLY got to ride in the 1st row, it was amazing!

By the way Joey, sorry I didn't say hi either, I didn't know you worked there. Where were you standing at about 9:30 a.m. on Sunday? I bet you we met and don't even know it.

Well, I have more to report on but I gotta go. I'll post again a little later! :wave:

Nice update, THANKS!

The blue wall inside the castle has always been there, it's on hinges and can go across the entire path during a show. It's pretty much used for that reason, and it blocks the prop storage and stuff downstairs when it's in that position.

Nice pics of Living Seas!

It's kind of bothering me for some reason that Push's "operator" wasn't hiding... pretty much at all.

The wall had a 'please pardon our dust' sign on it... i took a pic but it didn't turn out... that was the only reason i thought it might be new and for the 'room'.

Yeah, usually i always look and try to find him but cant... that day it was way too easy and annoying. Even my wife picked him out without trying

That's interesting, that wall has always been there.

As for the operator hiding, that's what happens in the off season, no heavy crowds to hide in.

Agreed on push. How can you hide in a crowd of 20-40 people tops in tomorrowland? Push is uaually between the DVC booth and Indy speedway, too. Not a lot of hiding spaces there.

I think that if they made the microphone thing that the man is holding for PUSH into what looks like a cell phone then he could blend into the crowd much more. It would look as if he were just sitting there talking on the phone.

Also I think the construction wall that people are talking about is the white one in the foreground of this picture.^ It looks temporary unlike the blue one which is always there.

Can someone explain what this "operator" is and what a "Push" is?

 

[Chape19714]

I'm saying that the Rehab wall is a temp of a Blue wall that is normally there.

Push is a talking, roving trashcan that interacts with guest, he requires an operator to move him around and talk into a microphone, which runs his voice through a "voice box" or processor that makes his voice Push's voice.
