What exactly is the finished descent on SSE? I have heard about this on several occasions, but no one seems to know what it is (or was supposed to be)...

At the end of the ride when you are presented with your tomorrow, if you aren't paying attention to the screens you will notice that all around you is exposed chicken wire. The chicken wire is covered with spray painted triangles. It's by far the worst thing I have ever seen at Disney World.

Oh, ok. So what is supposed to be there?

This is from Martin on what you would have seen during the Descent:

The original plan was to have a show spaceship built around these, so as you rotated you saw you had just emerged from a large spaceship, floated through space, skimmed the moon, gone past the 2 satellites and into a space station.
 
To be honest I'm down for just more of the old characters coming out for greetings. That would be the most feasable thing and it wouldn't really cost Disney much money at all!

My D23 predictions are new concept art for FLE, the GF DVC, and a Monsters Inc coaster announcement for the near future.

I figure the movies coming out in two years and DCA is getting Carsland shortly after Cars 2, so it'd make sense to give DHS a ride around Monsters 2 (well technically a prequel :shrug:)

I also think we'll get new plans for DTD since HW has apprently been put on hold. Will these plans be put on hold as well? Only time will tell :brick:

You should check out the latest info posted today from D23 about what the Parks & Resorts Pavilion will be featuring. They just dropped an information bomb that has Disneyland fans drooling. Drooling! :eek:

There's also stuff about New Fantasyland at WDW, and if the models and exhibits they offered in '09 at the Parks & Resorts Pavilion are any indication, there will be massive and sprawling models and artwork on display for WDW's New Fantasyland.

07.18.11 - Fans attending Disney's D23 Expo August 19-21 at the Anaheim Convention Center will have the chance to experience "a great big beautiful tomorrow" as they immerse themselves in the future of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, which is currently in the biggest period of global expansion in its history.


Drawing inspiration from a classic attraction that debuted at the 1964 New York World's Fair and has made stops at Disneyland in California and Magic Kingdom in Florida, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts invites attendees to hop aboard the "Carousel of Projects" for a sneak peek at concepts, designs, models, storytelling tools, and technologies currently being developed at Walt Disney Imagineering for Disney parks around the world.

Throughout the weekend, exclusively at the D23 Expo, fans will get a look at the latest details for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts' 11 parks and five resorts around the world, as well as Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa in Hawaii, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney and Disney Vacation Club, including:

  • Actual figures, props and ride vehicles for Radiators Springs Racers, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the building of Cars Land, the newest land at Disney California Adventure which opens next year.
  • The opportunity to meet a classic Disney icon in an entirely new way.
  • Concepts, models and plans for Fantasyland, one of the most ambitious expansions in the 40-year history of Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
  • What's new at Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney and Disney Vacation Club.
In addition to the pavilion, D23 Expo attendees will also have the chance to attend numerous presentations and panel discussions. On Friday, August 19, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs will give guests in the 4,000-seat main arena an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at some of the biggest projects currently underway at Disney parks, featuring a few surprises along the way.

Imagineers and cast members who create and operate Disney's parks, resorts, cruise ships, and other vacation experiences will take fans behind-the-magic with nine exciting presentations including:

  • Radiator Springs Reality: Imagineering Cars Land for Disney California Adventure—Join Disney/Pixar's John Lasseter and a panel of Imagineers and Pixar creative talent as they share the twists and turns through the real-life development of Radiator Springs.
  • The Making of Star Tours - The Adventures Continue—Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald will share the inside scoop on how Walt Disney Imagineering and George Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic began laying the groundwork for a new version of Star Tours.
  • A Good Look at Buena Vista Street—Imagineers Lisa Girolami, Ray Spencer, and Coulter Winn provide a preview of the new entrance to Disney California Adventure, an idealized depiction of the Los Angeles Walt Disney lived and worked in throughout the 1920s and 1930s.
  • Imagineering the Dream and the Fantasy—Imagineers Joe Lanzisero and Bob Zalk talk about charting the design course of the two newest Disney cruise ships.
  • Legends of Walt Disney Imagineering—Disney Legend Marty Sklar will lead a celebration of the careers and accomplishments of Walt Disney Imagineering, including Alice Davis, Orlando Ferrante, Bob Gurr, and Don Iwerks. With special guest and current Imagineer Kim Irvine, daughter of Disney Legend Leota Toombs.
In addition, and for the first time, the Parks and Resorts pavilion will also feature Mickey's of Glendale, an outlet of Walt Disney Imagineering's employee-only store, where—for just three days—guests can shop for "Carousel of Projects" souvenirs and collectibles and Walt Disney Imagineering merchandise not available anywhere else.

No word in that release on anything at WDW aside from New Fantasyland, but you never know what Tom Staggs might put up on the big screen in the Anaheim Arena, as that's the same venue Jay Rasulo announced the New Fantasyland to the world back in '09.

All the nitty-gritty on the stuff coming for the parks at D23 Expo can be found here. :wave:

God these postings about what could or may be built in the future are just awful. Can't you just wait until it happens? Hopefully it is the beginning of a new Disney "building boom" like we saw during the Eisner years but it is just halarious to read these speculations from pretend Walt Disney World executives. Keep it coming I like to laugh.

Kinda sad that they consider the FLE THAT special. They're adding 2 rides a restaurant and a couple meet and greets...wooo. It's nice but it isn't anywhere near as amazing as they are making it sound...

Oh wait...I forgot...there is a new bathroom in fastasyland as well! Now THAT'S innovation.
