EPCOT Update!

[darkrose]

They have one or two figment stuffed animals. I think one is with an uncle-sam type hat and one is without. They are pretty small, about 6 inches or so. Not sure on the price.

I was there on Monday, and I didn't see any larger stuffed figments (like my huge one I got in the early 80's)..

They also had limited edition pins for $10.50. I bought 2. They had non limited-edition pins, but I didn't like those, so I didn't check the prices.

They also had some of those bouncy-balls that light up when they hit something, a few different tee shirt designs, and a couple other things I currently don't remember about, so they must have been insignificant (at least to me). The shop was pretty small, I am hoping they add more.

First & foremost, THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO OF THE RIDE! I watched it last night and I'm looking forward to going there soon. If I could, I'd make a special trip to Epcot to see it, but alas, with a 40 hour work week and no time off until August I can't. I don't dare go near the park 4th of July weekend...

Do you have a picture of the Figment holding Spaceship Earth figure? I'd like to see that one.


Thanks!

WHAT??? NO FIGMENT SNOWBLOBE??? I WOULD LOVE ONE!!!

 

[BNCordeiro]

Please consider this a holler!!!! Seems that I have most of those collectables (well non-clothing) since they are the same as last year, but there's a few new ones & those must be mine a week from today!!! =)

I picked up the pins on Ebay.....a bit pricier, but hey...rather have 'em all in hand than worry about missing one or two in the shop!

 

[General Grizz]

Forgot to mention...

Figment (large) notebads and postcards with illustrations of him.

Half of the merchandise is brand new. You can see pictures of these on EBAY or figmentsimagination.com

 

[WDWFREAK53]

I hope they do too! I was up there a couple of weekends ago, and never got a chance to see the merchandise... that stinks....

Thank goodness I can fit into a child's sized t shirt. When I go buy all the new Figgie merchandise, I can affoard to get two L or XL kids shirts rather than only ONE adult one that wouldn't fit right! Thanks for all the pictures and stuff. That shirt you posted WILL be mine!

Rob, check in Mousegears. I was there 2 weeks ago and they had a couple of shirts to choose from. I got a long sleeve navy blue shirt and the front has the retro EPCOT written on it in lime green. Down one sleeve are all of the symbols for each of the pavilions in Future World. On the back of the shirt (near the neck) in smaller lime green lettering, it says Walt Disney World.

They had a few others to choose from ( short sleeve and 3/4 sleeve length), so I'm sure they'll be there when you go!

 

[General Grizz]

I picked up a couple shirts back in December. Unfortunately, they were not available last week. Hopefully they will come back - but I guess there will be no small EPCOT 20th stuff. Cross your fingers for a '25th'...

-TEST TRACK-
Yeah, it broke down again

Wouldn't an 'Update' be more like, "Test Track actually worked today" ? :lol:

When I work out of Epcot... I'll get on the PA and ask, "So who rode Test Track today?" and then "Well, welcome to the Bus version of Test Track. We are a high-speed turbulent thrill ride, and may encounter crazy tourists who have no clue where they're going. As such, for those of you standing, hold on for dear life. For those of you seated, you think you have it good, right? Guess again... you're going to be the ones they fall on!"

Now... after I ask who rode test track... half the time, I'll get "NO!!" and all sorts of moans and groans... LOL... guess it broke down again

(On the flip side, when working at the Disney/MGM Studios, I'll ask who rode Rockin' Rollercoaster... after which the entire bus will scream YEEEEAAAAAAHHHH!! hehe... then, I'll go, "Well, a lil trivia fact about RnRC... RnRC will accelerate you from 0-60 in 2.8 seconds... yeah... that's pretty fast. A lil trivia fact about this bus... we can accelerate you from 0-60 in 2.8....... hours.")

Thanks, Griz...

You hear very few things about "American Adventure," but this post reminded me of it. It is actually one of my favorite attractions, and I highly recommend it. It is not only a nice air-conditioned break, but I think the last part, with the collage of Images set to the song "Golden Dream" is breathtaking. It is especially good if you watch your showtime guide and hit the attraction in the early afternoon (like around 3), when the Voices of Liberty are singing as a pre-show in the the waiting area. They are great singers, and it is wonderful to hear such grand old Americana songs such as "Shenandoah" sung a-capella by professional singers in that place.

Anyway, just wanted to put in that plug for an often "unsung" song-filled pleasure...

Test Track is down way to much for a ride of its young age.
