That's awesome! Yeah, feel free to say hi next time, and that goes for anyone!

The Sum of All Thrills was excellent for the most part! I'll be posting the few pics I took probably later today.
Eeeeagerly awaiting. :D


Your next trip to EPCOT, can you get some of the Lucite ends on the signs?

Infinteismal EPCOT Update! W00t!

If Mr. EPCOT won't mind, just some things from today:

1. Remember that blue whirlygig near Innoventions West with the Lucite blocks? Well, it has disappeared. Also, that missing purple whirlygig near the Electric Umbrella is still MIA.

2. OK, I was able to see SoaT. The whole concept & execution is awesome, the queue is somewhat spacious,... and I didn't ride it. :( You see, the line was quite lengthy of about a 40 min. wait for the whole day, and rarely had a short wait. Oh, and when Innoventions closed for the night, those remaining in the queue were given the chance to still ride it (it was still lengthy). Maybe later, I will try to ride it in the morning, pre or post Soarin' Sprint. :lookaroun

3. Crowds were amazing. TT's Single Rider line had a 30 min. wait, JIIwF a 15 min. wait, everything was a long line in WS, and as I was leaving, there were still many arriving to see ROE. Yet around 10am, entering the stand-by line of 40 min. for Soarin', it only took 20 min., and usually takes longer around that time... :eek:

4. Did they do anything major in LwtL? Besides the rainforest crocs functioning again, rearranged plants & a sign advertising Behind the Seeds, I really did not see anything else. I thought it was cleaning the flume, but it still had a dirty look to it... :shrug:

And that seems to be it. :wave:


Did the House of Innoventions close? It is no longer listed on the official site.

I believe I saw it open today. There were people inside.

I had suggested in the past that that should be incorporated into the end of the loop
I do like the website BGM a little more than that one jazz song played there.

And the song sounds so familiar, yet I can't figure out the name of it. :brick:

Hmmm...Interesting. Any pics of the Lucite?


And yeah, LwTL was just a gen. refurb. Mist works too, now.

Okay, here we go, these will probably take me a little while to get up.

At The Sum of All Thrills, you start out in this Briefing Room...

Inside you watch this video explaining what you'll do, the basic concepts of math and physics involved, and of course plug Raytheon. This was the only thing about the venue that I didn't like. It's a terrible video. Bad script, bad actors, and it really talks down to you. It treats you like more of an idiot than Judi Dench does.
