Hey everybody! Been a long time since an update. Where was I you ask? Good question. I was stuck in the Black Hole with a Robot that sounded like a hick. After dismantling it with extreme prejudice, I found myself back in the parks. And if you stop asking so many questions, I might just dedicate this next update to ya'll!

....and we so dedicate.


STUDIOS

-Crowds were light. No Fantasmic, and crowds are manageable.

-The Strat' is Under Tarps in front of Coaster.

-Tower still has scratchy and generally funky audio.

-Animation is all decked out for Toy Story 3. Including a nice new sign breaking down just what kind of art they have displayed.

-Rapunzel's signs in Animation have been updated to fit with the new Hip-Hop-Urban-Suburban name- "Tangled"

-Muppets' wait time sign has been changed from a stand alone pole, to attached right to the building closer to the entrance.

-Lots of effects and audio iffy at Muppets-Typical of an attraction about to go down for a period of time.

EPCOT

-Crowds were medium.

-Flower and Garden this year features flowers, as well as gardens.

-Do they have enough playgrounds?

-Off Kilter was "really on" that night, IMHO.

-Yakitori House is Yummy

-The trees on the right side of Mexico are desolated. Was this the freeze, or just cutting back?

-Tronorail looks great, and as one train, is surprisingly hard to find. You don't see it very often. And when you do, it looks shiny.

KINGDOM

-Crowds heavy to light.

-Got stuck on the peoplemover for a good twenty minutes. But it was REALLY crowded before the parade and got to watch the sun go down over the hub, so no complaints.

-Except for one complaint: Too many Teenagers in the park. Calm down and talk quietly, ya' noisy teeners.

-Space Mountain was down for awhile too. Not surprising, it still looks pretty beat up on the outside AND the inside. (Especially the star projectors. They still look lousy.)

-Walls are all up around the back half of Fantasyland.

-Hatless pirate is hatless once again. It must be cold without all his hats...so cold...





OK, that's all for that then. On to this now!

Enjoy!

I don't know why but you're "1-0-fun" comment cracked me up!

And the picture of Luxo Jr.'s "home" made me sad... very sad!

And the answer to your word problem;

There once was a Caribbean land,
And a pirate with two swords in hand.
He got in a mess,
That is my best guess.
Sorry this limerick is so bland!

That does look like frost damage to the trees in Mexico. It probably was a decision. Dead folliage in the area or big gapping holes.

How can SM look so bad after a 9 month rehab?

I'm especially p'd off because it was shutdown during my last trip.


So they didn't replace the track - and it still looks beat up? It took 9 months to put in some interactive games in the queue line? Is somebody's head going to roll?


btw - thanks for the update!

Ah-ah-ah...they added:
  • New load gates
  • Exterior paint
  • a tree
  • more paint
If you take these things in to consideration,you will see that the experience was greatly improved!

Oh, also on the subject of Space Mountain: They have a new kid's shirt, but it looks like the "More Space Mountain merchandise" never materialized.

What's funny is that the picture key is from The Princess and the Frog Display, it never got changed. Those symbols are supposed to be on each piece of art in the display, which I do not think has happened as of yet.

Very nice update EpcotServo, looks like things are progressing nicely. Or least being kept nice day to day. :lol: In any case, great update!
