You know for someone who seems to hate everything Disney does and praise the ground Universal walks on, Disney sure tells him a lot! Wouldn’t be surprised if he also knows about the location of Walt’s Head or the new Inside Out themed land at Animal Kingdom
“Farming aura” is a great expression. I’m gonna use that with some middle school students.
Why don't we all just gather our skibidi and head to the old fool's home now?They're already regarding it as "so 2024," boomer.
The only way it would be worse is if it’s somehow JIYI but with a bad IP overlay
Joy telling us that we don't have imaginations?
I’m feeling pretty good about it tbh.
Do you have some connections or something? Or are you just chiming in with random assertions? When I had a source, I said, "I have a source who told me X."
It's a shame they didn't leave the original sign in place, It wouldn't look that out of place with the scientific institute theme.
but what about science science science.....
Def agree they should’ve kept the original sign outside ‘but’ I wouldn’t put it out of the realm of possibility that it and the original ride could absolutely return w the tech & spfx enhancements we’d like to see. I really don’t think it’d be that difficult, considering how much of the original building is retained, documentation, etc. within the Archives and elsewhere storage wise on WDW property I’m sure.
That’s part of why I further feel the Honey I Shrunk IP-themed institute transformation plus the focus to make it more scientific wasn’t necessary. Like.. Science was presented flawlessly in the original, and like I’ve mentioned previously, there was a sensory funhouse in the Wonders of Life pavilion, so it’s a bit weird to me they’d decide to go that angle with it when they did.
Ron Schneider met an imagineer who worked on the 2nd version of the ride. He said that what went wrong was combination of budget constraints and company politics. Kodak wouldn't continue sponsorship if the ride wasn't changed. Disney was reluctant to spend serious money on the ride. Apparently Michael Eisner didn't like Figment and the older elements of EPCOT Center (Horizons). Once they changed it, it was too late...
Interestingly, Imagination is probably the only case in Epcot history where the sponsorship model literally failed to the rides detriment. Though there is an argument that Siemens did that to Spaceship Earth.
Meh, World Of Motion was probably doomed anyway. Test Track has always been educational. (Though, the original version was Show Produced by Orrin Shively who also Show Produced JIYI) that aside GM is the only reason the attraction is not Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy, right now.
You might be right, the most postive thing from Siemens sponsorship was removing the wand from the SSE building.
Agree, and Siemens (and Disney both really) didn't even care to have the product finished, it was not meant to be just black curtains with the screens, all those triangle panels had a purpose but never utilized.
Don’t worry, they’re definitely just giving it a little more time to make it absolutely perfect and then it’ll be officially announced
