EPCOT PHOTO UPDATE: Ice Station Cool,a Figment Halloween, Etc.

[dr_teeth90210]

Hey gang! Just got back from Epcot and it is SLLOOOWWWWW!!!
We rode Test Track 3 times in a row without having to leave the car, Soarin' was a 15 minute wait and everything else was a walk on.

Here's a pic of the Ice Station sign on the renovation wall.

This is a shot over the wall where the ice cavern once was.

(notice the return of the wdwmagic ladder)

This is a very dark pic of the inside of Ice Station Cool. It is kind of hard to tell but everything has been gutted all the way back to where the double door exit used to be. No more ice tunnel, no more Refreshumus Maximus, and no more Beverly.( for now )

Here's a cool Figment snow globe that has been around awhile. I just love the fact that it plays "Imagination"

The whole park is getting ready for the Food and Wine festival.

On one final note, I was standing in line for Soarin' when the preshow ended and we stood there for about 5 minutes until a CM came rushing out of a backstage area and proceeded to move everybody to the other terminal. While eavesdropping on sevral cm's it sounded like somebody threw up on the ride and they had to close down Concourse #2 for clean up. Any CM's working on Soarin' tonight (09/21/2005) want to confirm?

I'm guessing it might cost a pretty penny, but how much is that snowglobe? That would be an awesome gift for my sister! Cute costume!

Always glad to see the ladder finding work. Also, you wouldn't happen to have a desktop size of that Spaceship Earth pic, would ya?

Very sad to see Ice Station Cool gone. Yet another EPCOT favorite of mine bites the dust.

[UKMickeyFan]

Great Pics

What tune does the figment snowglobe play. Also the words around the bottom are from the original JII, the words that the dreamfinder sings to describe Figment.

I think that snow globe falls into the $70-$100 range. I keep meaning to pick one up but I always seem to remember it about 10 minuets after leaving the park.

 

[Rayray]

That is a magnificient picture of SSE. The water and the lighting make the picture. What a good desktop that would be!

I love the final pic, its nice.

 

[DisneyBunny]

Great to hear that the crowds are so small! I've always wanted to ride something twice in a row... what time of day were you doing that?

I hope the lines stay good and short for next week!

I'm also going to say that SSE pic is awesome. Thanks for the pics! I love how the original dream finder lyrics are on the bottom of the snowglobe, brings back good memories.

"Two tiny wings, eyes big and yellow. Horns of a steer, but a loveable fellow. From head to tail, he's royal purple pigment. And there--Voila!--you've got a Figment!"

I miss Dreamfinder...

I'm interested to see how Club Cool will come out, hopefully there is some sort of free samples there, that was great on a hot day, and I loved to get my friends with beverly... :lol:
