Video of the new video in Project Tomorrow:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=OY7vyjJqFG8

No worries on the quality, have some decent stills of some of the images, so this just gives you an idea of how it changes. The other photos will be up shortly.

Oh - elsewhere in Project Tomorrow. Seen but not photographed!

Innervision talks about medical mirrors and in-home medical exams and then has you take a tes tto mesure your response time (see a color, touch a color) memory (like simon) and hand eye cordination (like guitar hero) so it's kind of neat. There three kiosks of it.

The middle is apparently getting kiosks to mail home the video created in the finale.

The screen over the exit of the ride now displays Siemens high school something fancy name academic kids thingy - but instead of just their faces (and not just two people) it shows them and then scrolls through like a personal essay, which is usually a pretty good read. Check them out :)

The screen section over Body Builder was totally off, but assumedly going to be the same as the one i filmed, could be different though. *shrug*

The big globe - will be feature the faces taken on the ride but now matching the location as prompted in the ride.

Word on the street.. Disney knows "fans" of SSE aren't happy with the ending that opened earlier. There is work going on inside to change some things. So, it aint staying the same. Combined with the wanting to mail the video home, they're tackling the feedback that came from both ends of the spectrum.

They DID work on the ride system some. More safety and electrical then mechnical though. There's now a shield sorta thing that makes it more like other omni's and keeps people away from the moving parts - it more exposed before.

Photos in a few.

The proud people of the great state of Mississippi are not amused and request that you cease and desist dragging its name through the mud.

Project Runway - err.. Tomorrow!

And another, showing just how unfashionable the future can be :)

Later at night the place was crawling with people in suits, i think they were Siemens folks (not hippie enough to be imagineers i think - maybe disney productions staff? I hear they clean up nice..) Anywho, the place feels more alive now, even if it does have giant box in the middle for the time being.

Outfront, the wall setup:

Off to imagination, where they set up a cart to peedle their wares:

ep21103.jpg


And the only thing it sells is Figment stuff. Not a single other object, just Figment stuff. Cute.

As mentioned before, i tried to check out Waste Management, but it's not open yet. They're reworking the surrounding areas though, they've redone the doors for both Innoventions entrances in super-dark tint and the Kim Possible area got an upgrade:

And in just a moment, in Innoventions West, the velcro exhibit, but first, from Club Cool..

So, i walked into Innoventions West and was like.. Wow...

ep21106.jpg


This thing is BIG and shiny and noticeable from a distance, as i;m betting the big green dump truck will be for Waste Management. They're putting some sizeable additions in Innoventions lately.

So, that's the whole queue and little preshow area. It has many shows scheduled through the day like every half hour. Sorta like turtle talk, and even with similar seating, runs until 5:30, i just missed the last show, but i could photograph through the windows - which ran along the fascade along the "road to tomorrow"

Neat looking show - then i saw this cute shirt for kids.. and it was off to the MK!

ep21116.jpg


On the way, snapped a photo of the Contemporary North:

ep21113.jpg


Didn't get a snap of the big pillars in for the elevated walkway to the main building, but they're there.

New YOMD's signs, similar signs on light poles at MK and Epcot and over the turnstiles. Fairy locusts are gone.

ep21114.jpg


And finally, Le Chapeau is closed!
